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.
