Boxey

Boxey is a fictional character from the original Battlestar Galactica television series portrayed by Noah Hathaway. He is the son of Serina and soon after the beginning of the show he becomes the stepson of Captain Apollo.

Boxey grows up to become Captain Troy in Galactica 1980, portrayed by Kent McCord. Dialogue in the initial episode of Galactica 1980 indicates that "Boxey" was a childhood nickname, and that the character's given name was always Troy.

Boxey was a six-year-old survivor of the planet Caprica, following the holocaust of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. His natural mother, Serina, was a (television) news reporter. Following the Cylon attack which destroyed the Colonies, Serina became romantically involved with Captain Apollo and began training as a Colonial warrior. She married Apollo, who became Boxey's step-father. However, Serina was killed shortly after the wedding by a Cylon centurion and, upon her death, Apollo's family became Boxey's only living relatives and he lived on board the Galactica.
