Commandant '''Leiter''' is an [[Eastern Alliance]] [[Eastern Alliance destroyer|destroyer]] commander who discovers [[Viper (TOS)|Colonial Vipers]]. Leiter is ruthless and fascist; a consummate Eastern Alliance commander. He comments that the people on Destroyer Two were incompetent and unworthy of the ship they were bestowed.

Upon discovery of the Vipers, Leiter orders [[Krebbs]] to alter course to [[Paradeen]] after the latter reported the fighters as having a power consumption of immeasurable scale. They subsequently track the landing beacon -- left on by [[Hector]] who neglected to deactivate and destroy the device -- and attempts to threaten [[Sarah]] with [[Walker]]'s life, hoping to reveal the locations of the Viper pilots. Much to Leiter's misfortune, [[Michael]], [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and their group had other ideas in mind and manage to overpower the dozen Alliance officers.

When the destroyer is escorted to ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' by Apollo and Starbuck, Leiter attempts to boast about the power of the Eastern Alliance, to which Starbuck cheerfully points out [[Battlestar (TOS)|battlestar]] ''Galactica''. This leaves Leiter in amazement after Krebbs indicates the ship as being the largest that they have ever seen before ([[Greetings from Earth (TOS)|Greetings from Earth]]).

Leiter and his officers are imprisoned on the [[Prison Barge]], where [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] later questions him regarding [[Terra]] and other aspects of the Eastern Alliance. Typical of his type, Leiter reveals little of worth before [[Reese]] interrupts Adama's interrogation.

The commandant is later involved with the escape of the [[Borellian Nomen]], [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]], and the Alliance officers. Thanks to Baltar and the captured Quorum members, he manages to get his crew and ship back, lifting off ''Galactica'' with the three [[Borellian Nomen|Nomen]] ([[Bora]], [[Maga]], and [[Taba]]) ([[Baltar's Escape (TOS)|Baltar's Escape]]).
