This article covers the various depictions of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]]' [[Boxey (TOS)|Boxey]] from the tie-in novelizations, comic books, and other media.<br />
<br />
== Berkley Novelizations ==<br />
<br />
=== Background ===<br />
<br />
Boxey is an full-fledged orphan, his parents presumably killed during the [[Battle of Cimtar|final Cylon attack]] on the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonies]].<ref>{{cite_book|last=Yermakov|first=Nicholas|authorlink=Robert Thurston|authorlinkurl=|year=April 1982|title=[[The Living Legend|Battlestar Galactica 6: The Living Legend]]|publisher=Berkley Books|pages=vii|location=|id=}}</ref> His adoptive parents became [[Serina (alternate)|Serina]] and [[Apollo (TOS alternate)|Apollo]] respectively.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Thurston|first=Robert|authorlink=Robert Thurston|authorlinkurl=|year=September 1979|title=[[The Tombs of Kobol|Battlestar Galactica 3: The Tombs of Kobol]]|publisher=Berkley Books|pages=19|location=|id=}}</ref> <br />
<br />
As Boxey grew older, he came to hate that name and his extended family searched for a new name, given that they never knew his birth name. As a result, they christen him "Troy".<ref>{{cite_book|last=Yermakov|first=Nicholas|authorlink=Robert Thurston|authorlinkurl=|year=April 1982|title=[[The Living Legend|Battlestar Galactica 6: The Living Legend]]|publisher=Berkley Books|pages=vi|location=|id=}}</ref><br />
<br />
Given the deaths of both sets of parents, biological and adoptive, Troy had "put up barriers that no one could get through" for fear of loving someone, then losing them again.<ref>''Ibid.'', viii.</ref> <br />
<br />
=== [[The Tombs of Kobol]] ===<br />
<br />
Boxey is pleased at the fact that Serina and Apollo are to be [[seal|married]], however the marriage was short lived and he is forced to go through the death of his second mother.<br />
<br />
=== [[The Living Legend (Book)|The Living Legend]] ===<br />
<br />
After Adama's death sometime well into the future, Troy is given command of ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' and access to Adama's personal journals that have not been read by anyone before him. (Apollo is not given command due to his death sometime before Adama's.) When presented with Adama's logs after a pre-recorded introduction made by Adama, he first searches the logs about Commander [[Cain (alternate)|Cain]], who Adama credits for saving the entire [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]].<ref>''Ibid.,'' v-viii.</ref><br />
<br />
== Marvel comics ==<br />
<br />
Boxey makes a few fleeting appearances in the Marvel comics that occur after ''[[A Death in the Family]]''. <br />
<br />
== Maximum Press comics ==<br />
<br />

<br />
Unlike his counterpart from other series, including the continuations, Boxey is ''not'' the nickname for Troy, but merely a version of his name, '''Box'''. <br />
<br />
As the Maximum Press comics follow the Original Series's official canon very strongly, Boxey is referred to as the biological son of Serina and the step-son of [[Apollo (alternate)|Apollo]]. In [[7344]], [[Sheba (alternate)|Sheba]] and Apollo are [[seal]]ed and he has a step-brother named [[Cain (child)|Cain]], who is born that same yahren (''[[War of Eden 1]]''). <br />
<br />
By [[7362]], Box is a lieutenant and a Viper pilot. He is Captain [[Starbuck (alternate)|Starbuck]]'s wingman, and is one of three [[Warriors]] (the others being Starbuck and Colonel [[Boomer (alternate)|Boomer]]) who are part of the first Colonial landing party to [[Earth (TOS alternate)|Earth]]. During this mission, where Box almost loses his life by a dinosaur's maw, they discover the object later known as [[Adam's Ark]] (''War of Eden 1''-''[[War of Eden 4|4]]'').<br />
