Battlestar Galactica: The Wildly Varied Career Of Lee "Apollo" Adama

When the relationship between President Roslin and Commander Adama collapses, Apollo surprises everyone by siding with the President against his father, believing that democratic rule of the Fleet is under threat. He goes so far as to pull a weapon and level it at Galactica’s Executive Officer, Colonel Tigh. With violence imminent, the President stands down, and Lee is arrested.

However, in the wake of the subsequent crisis caused by the shooting of Lee’s father, Colonel Tigh allows him to resume his duties as CAG, though he promises to not sew insurrection or free the President, and he must return to prison whenever he is off-duty.
