The fate of several characters from the original series are indicated during the course of the series. Apollo is apparently dead (cause unknown). Starbuck was apparently marooned on a desert planet although the script for the episode The Wheel of Fire (unfilmed at the time of cancellation) indicated that Starbuck was eventually rescued from the planet by the inhabitants of the Ships of Light and became one of the inhabitants. Captain Troy is revealed to be Boxey, and Lt. Boomer (now Colonel Boomer) is Adama's second in command. The fate of several other characters—Adama's daughter Athena, Colonel Tigh, Starbuck's girlfriend Cassiopeia, and the evil Count Baltar—are not revealed, and all four characters are absent from the series.
