Masters-at-Arms are non-commissioned officers responsible for internal security aboard Colonial warships, including battlestars. Within their policing capacity, they are charged with law enforcement duties such as conducting criminal investigations and inquiries (Act of Contrition). Galactica's Master-at-Arms is Sergeant Hadrian.
