Following the reunification of the Fleet and the reconciliation of Commander Adama and President Roslin, Lee Adama is cleared of the charges against him and is fully reinstated as a Galactica pilot and CAG.

During this time, it's a comment of Apollo's which inspires Senior Chief Petty Office Galen Tyrol to design and build the Blackbird, a new style of Viper which has stealth capabilities, and which will become instrumental in the Fleet's ongoing battle with the Cylons.

Ultimately, Lee's return to the CAG position does not last long. The Galactica soon encounters another Battlestar, the Pegasus, which leads to significant changes for everyone
