Adama's family and origins

Adama is a native of the planet Caprica, which is where he graduated from the military academy of "The Colonial Service." In a novelization based on an episode of the series, an excerpt from his journal says he served aboard the Battlestar Cerberus in his younger years and named his son Apollo after a friend who died fighting the Cylons.
