Diana Seelix is a fictional character on the reimagined series Battlestar Galactica portrayed by Jen Halley. Seelix worked a deck hand specializing in avionics under chief Galen Tyrol before becoming a Pilot in training.
History
Seelix was a member of the team that crashed in Raptor 1 on Kobol. She had enough medical training to tend to Socinus' wounds but eventually suffered a bullet to the leg while trying to escape the Cylons. She was pulled to safety by Cally Henderson.
She returned to Galactica and aided in the construction of the Blackbird. She eventually settled on New Caprica and when the Cylon occupation began, she joined the resistance. She was a member of the resistance team that rescued Laura Roslin, Cally Tyrol and Tom Zarek from execution by a Cylon Centurion execution squad.
Following the exodus from New Caprica, Seelix became a member of The Circle, a tribunal that tried, judged, and executed Cylon collaborators. She returned to her duties as a deckhand but was dissatisfied with her job. She applied for training as a pilot and passed the written exam easily. She was denied the opportunity because she was the best avionics specialist and it was in the best interest of the fleet that she and others with specific skills remain in their current positions.
Following a labor strike led by Chief Tyrol, Seelix was granted a promotion to Ensign and began flight training.
