Adama's Family and Origins
Adama is a native of the planet Caprica, which is where he graduated from the military academy of "The Colonial Service."
Adama was married to Ila. The two had a sea-side house on a hill on the planet of Caprica. However Adama spent most his married life in space fighting the Cylons and leaving back Ila on Caprica.
They had three children:
- The oldest son Apollo (fighter pilot based on the Galactica)
- A daughter Athena (bridge crew member of the Galactica, fighter pilot, teacher)
- A younger son Zac (fighter pilot)
Both his wife Ila and his son Zac were killed in the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies.
Soon after the destruction of the Twelve Colonies Apollo married Serina near the planet Kobol. So Adama became step-grandfather of Boxey. Serina died on Kobol.
Adama considers Starbuck (who is an orphan.) as member of his family.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or origins:
“Family lore can be a bore, but only when you are hearing it, never when you are relating it to the ones who will be carrying it on for you. A family without a storyteller or two has no way to make sense out of their past and no way to get a sense of themselves.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
