In the 2003 version of Battlestar Galactica, President Richard Adar had just entered the last year of his second term as President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol before the Cylon destruction of humanity. [3] Before being elected President, he was a mayor. Many of his staff of his second administration (including Secretary of Education Laura Roslin) continued on from his first, and a few remained with him from his days as mayor. [2] What little is known about his terms in office indicate that he favored authoritarian, hardline solutions to problems such as union strikes, [1] and that at least one of these incidents led to numerous civilian deaths. [4] Commander William Adama considered him "a moron". [5] His status was unknown until near the end of the bombardment, when his death was announced to the Colonial Fleet. [2]
