: ''The article discusses the [[Galactica 1980]] character. For information on his [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] character, see [[Adama (TOS)]]. For information on the [[Re-imagined Series]] counterpart to Commander Adama, see [[William Adama]].''<br />
<br />
Thirty years after the [[Battle of Cimtar|destruction of the Colonies]], Commander '''Adama''' has finally led the [[Galactican Fleet]] to the planet [[Earth (1980)|Earth]].<br />
<br />
During the 30 years of exodus, a few changes have befallen Adama and the Fleet. [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] has apparently died, although his step-son [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] is a captain in the Fleet and becomes a key figure (along with Lieutenant [[Dillon]]) in many of the missions to Earth. Adama's right hand man, Colonel [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]], has been replaced by Colonel [[Boomer (1980)|Boomer]].<br />
<br />
The finding of Earth does not prove to be the salvation that the Colonials had hoped for, however, as they find Earth to be woefully behind in technology and culture.<br />
<br />
Adama and his advisor, [[Doctor Zee]], determine that the Earth is not yet ready for contact with [[Galactica (1980)|''Galactica'']] or the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]]. They decide that covert action would be more prudent, and thus begin a plan whereby they influence the people of Earth in the hopes of helping to prepare them for contact ([[1980]]: "[[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I|Galactica Discovers Earth]]").<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* Adama and [[Boomer (1980)|Boomer]] are the only two major characters from the [[Original Series]] to return as recurring characters in ''[[Galactica 1980]]''.<br />
<br />
* The character's surviving children, particularly [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]], are not seen in the series. Apollo is noted as deceased, and the fate of Athena is never mentioned.<br />
<br />
* Adama is not only one of only five characters in the Original Series to be featured in every episode of that series, but also the only character to be featured in all the episodes of both the Original Series and ''Galactica 1980''.<br />
