Apollo (Battlestar Galactica Timeline 1)



Apollo is a principal character in the Battlestar Galactica Timeline 1 Universe. He debuted in Battlestar Galactica 101, Saga of a Star World in 1978.

History
Apollo is a Captain aboard the Battlestar Galactica and is leader of the Blue Squadron. He is son of Commander Adama, and brother of Athena and Zac, the latter of whom was killed by the Cylons. During the exodus to Earth, Apollo met and was briefly married to Serina until her death and would adopt Serina's son, Troy, who at the time was known by his nickname, Boxey. By the time the Galactica received a transmission from Earth's Moon, Apollo had started a new romantic relationship, with Lieutenant Sheba.

Danaverse Connection
In 1975, Apollo and Sheba set out on a mission against Adama's wishes to search for the missing Starbuck, a fellow pilot and friend of Apollo's. This in turn led to their disappearance. Reuniting with Starbuck, Apollo and Sheba would be introduced to an alternate timeline's version of Starbuck and the Multiverse itself. Apollo also mentions to both Starbucks a recurring dream about fighting a new war against the Cylons of his timeline twenty years after the last war finally ended.

Information
Apollo is portrayed by Richard Hatch, who in Battlestar Galactica Timeline 2 portrays Tom Zarek. He also made appearances as different characters on episodes of the Love Boat.

Apollo's counterpart in Battlestar Galactica Timeline 2 is Lee Adama.
