List of Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series) characters#Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a fictional character: This is a redirect from a fictional character to a related fictional work or list of characters. The destination may be an article about a related fictional work that mentions this character, a standalone list of characters, or a subsection of an article or list.
- For redirects named for fictional places use {{R from fictional location}}, and for those named for fictional elements (objects or concepts), use {{R from fictional element}}.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word or phrase (term) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link.
- Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-==Character biography==
-Crashdown is a refugee from the [[List of miscellaneous ships in Battlestar Galactica (2004)#Triton|Battlestar ''Triton'']] who begins serving as [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii's]] electronic countermeasures officer (ECO) on the [[Battlestar Galactica (ship)|Battlestar ''Galactica'']] after she leaves [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] on Caprica. He resents the fact Valerii seems to compare him unfavorably to Agathon.<ref name="Ep33">{{cite episode| episodelink=33 (Battlestar Galactica)| title=33| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref> Over time, however, their antagonism matures into a more good-natured teasing.<ref name="The Hand of God">{{cite episode| episodelink=The Hand of God (2003 Battlestar Galactica)| title=The Hand of God| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref>
-Crashdown was involved in a developing romantic relationship with Ensign Davis, a junior officer on the ''Galactica''.<ref name="The Hand of God"/>
-Along with the [[Cylon (2003)|Cylon]] sleeper agent Boomer, Crashdown leads several pivotal Raptor missions to find water and fuel supplies for the Colonial fleet.<ref name="The Hand of God"/><ref name="Water">{{cite episode| episodelink=Water (Battlestar Galactica)| title=Water| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref>
-Crashdown is a member of a three-Raptor survey party sent to examine the planet [[Kobol]]. The Cylons destroy one Raptor above Kobol and severely damage the one carrying Crashdown; the third escapes back to ''Galactica''. The pilot of Crashdown's Raptor is killed; fortunately, Crashdown manages to guide the craft down to a crash landing on the planet's surface. He then takes charge of the survivors as they await rescue, but in the stress of the situation he makes several bad decisions, resulting in the deaths of two of his men.<ref name="Kobol's Last Gleaming">{{cite episode| episodelink=Kobol's Last Gleaming (Battlestar Galactica)| title=Kobol's Last Gleaming| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref><ref name="Scattered">{{cite episode| episodelink=Scattered (Battlestar Galactica)| title=Scattered| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref><ref name="Valley of Darkness">{{cite episode| episodelink=Valley of Darkness (Battlestar Galactica)| title=Valley of Darkness| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref>
-The survivors soon learn Cylon Centurions are planning to shoot down their rescue ship. Crashdown organizes the critical counterattack, but he bungles the planning, and his squad continues to lose faith in him. When the time comes to attack the Cylons, the entire team is convinced they're heading into a [[suicide mission]]. [[Galen Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] openly refuses Crashdown's orders, and [[Cally Henderson Tyrol|Cally]] is too scared to move. Crashdown becomes frustrated and threatens to execute Cally unless she follows orders. Dr. Baltar saves her life by shooting Crashdown in the back, killing him. Upon being rescued, Baltar claims Crashdown had died [[charge (warfare)|leading the charge]] into battle and should be honored as a hero.<ref name="Fragged">{{cite episode| episodelink=Fragged (Battlestar Galactica)| title=Fragged| series=[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)]]}}</ref>
