<br />
Captain '''Alexa "Pugnacious" Cain''' is ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> [[CAG]] after the [[Cylon War]], as well as during the time Lieutenant [[William Adama]] is stationed aboard the [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Origins 5]]'').<br />
<br />
Cain is a career military woman who divorced [[Cain (father)|her husband]] well before the [[Battle of Tauron]], with whom she had two daughters, [[Helena Cain (alternate)|Helena]] and [[Lucy Cain]]. The divorce occurs as a result of her unwillingness to give up flying [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]]s. <br />
<br />
In the days following the end of the war, Cain is assigned to ''Galactica'' as CAG when the ship is ordered to hunt for a rogue Cylon cell called the [[Annihilators]]. During her tenure, she proceeds to push Adama and the pilots under her command to their limits, but earns their respect, particularly in Adama's case. She takes a special interest in Adama, as he becomes her right hand man and both become friends who often spar against one another through [[pyramid (RDM)|pyramid]]. <br />
<br />
On a mission to hunt down the remaining Annihilators at [[Trinity Base]], ''Galactica'' is boarded by Annihilators en route to that base, where the Cylons manage to decompress the ship and begin turning ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> weapons towards the battlestars accompanying her: ''[[Ulysses]]'' and ''[[Cerberus (battlestar)|Cerberus]]''. A nuclear missile is fired before Cain, Adama, and a team of surviving crew members in EVA suits are able to remove the Annihilators from [[Aft Damage Control]]. However, in the process of securing it, Cain is stabbed through the chest by a [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Centurion]], mortally wounding her.<br />
<br />
As part of his promise, Adama delivers two letters that Cain had written to her only surviving child, Helena, and to Cain's own parents, who had apparently survived (''Battlestar Galactica: Origins 5'', ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Origins 6]]''). <br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* In "[[Razor]]", [[Helena Cain]]'s mother is named [[Saundra Cain]] and dies on [[Tauron]] during the final minutes of the [[Battle of Tauron]]. <br />
* Cain's callsign, Pugnacious, is [[m-w:pugnacious|a term]] for someone who is eager or quick to argue, quarrel or fight, which aptly describe this character.<br />
