Roslin Faction: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:14, 24 August 2005

The division within the Fleet that supports President Laura Roslin as the rightful leader by either political right, as determined by the Articles of Confederation determination of succession of a dead/incapacitated leader, or religous right, as determined by her role as the dying leader mentioned in the Pythia. This faction also included people that wanted to exploit the division between Commander William Adama and President Roslin in order to achieve other goals. Captain Lee Adama is one who supports President Roslin, not because of a "divine rights" of sorts (he even mentions her as making "bad decisions" in reference to her sending Lieutenant Kara Thrace to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo and fulfill prophecy). He supports the President because she is the legal leader of the 12 Colonies of Kobol. Elosha the last known priest/priestess of man as well as some members of the Quorum of Twelve support her as the dying error mentioned in the prophecy Pythia. They believe that she fulfills many of the characteristics outlined. She is dying from a terminal illness, has retrieved the Arrow of Apollo , and is leading the last remnants of man through a great "sky exile." Thomas Zarek is an example of someone attempting to exploit the differences between Roslin and Commander Adama in order to achieve an ulterior motive. Zarek is attempting to return freedom back to the people after the reign of Roslin because he sees her reign as a blight and example of further government oppression. Thomas Zarek is attempting to become the leader of the "Roslin Faction" once she passes away by eliminating any and all rivals, Captain Lee Adama.
