Jim Kirby

Lt. Jim Kirby was a Colonial officer who served during the Cylon War. A Viper pilot assigned to Valkyrie, he was declared dead around 1957 when the Admiralty chose too falsify its destruction. Kirby was made to see his own death certificate after this. As part of the Ghost Fleet Offensive, Kirby lived for months in Cylon space away, and with communications black outs in effect he was left unaware his wife was pregnant. When the Offensive was ready to begin, Kirby volunteered re-assignment to Osiris, which was being sent out to Djerba on a high-priority mission. The mission went awry when their arrival coincided with a Cylon patrol, and Osiris was destroyed fighting a basestar. Kirby himself became distressed while engaging with Raiders, and is believed to have been shot down during the battle.Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome.
