"One of the last legitimate journalists in the universe", Playa Palacios is a veteran columnist with the Picon Star Tribune prior to the Cylon Attack on the Twelve Colonies.
Originally dispatched to cover the ceremonies surrounding the decommissioning of battlestar Galactica, she is a co-host of the new wireless current affairs program, "The Colonial Gang", working alongside fellow legitimate journalists James McManus and Sekou Hamilton.
During the formation of the interim Quorum of Twelve by President Laura Roslin, she is quite taken by Dr. Gaius Baltar, and gains an "exclusive" with him when Roslin asks Baltar to be her nominee for Vice President, to stand against Tom Zarek (Colonial Day).
On "The Colonial Gang", Palacios is something of a firm supporter of Laura Roslin, standing in the face of James McManus' sometimes vitriolic condemnation of Roslin's time in office.
Fitting her role as "one of the last legitimate journalists in the universe", Playa sits "first-chair" in the press conference with Commander Adama (Home, Part I) and also receives "first question" following the Commander's statement (certainly an honor for reporters). This is probably due to Playa Palacios's listenership or readership throughout the Fleet.
Sekou Hamilton, who also appears on "The Colonial Gang" and in the press conference in "Home, Part I", is seated behind Playa in the press briefing room. This may signify that he is not as popular in the Fleet-wide media.
