The Magnificent Warriors
Encyclopedia
"The Magnificent Warriors" is an episode of the original Battlestar Galactica
television series.
An old energizer, used to produce power, would seem to be the best item to trade, but the only suitable one is owned by one Siress Belloby, who has amorous designs on the Commander. Belloby agrees to hand over the energizer, but only if Adama agrees to court her.
Starbuck, Apollo and Adama, with Belloby along for the ride, head to the planet Sectar to try and barter with the locals. Unknown to the Colonials, the town they hope to visit is under constant siege by the pig-like Borays, and Sire Bogan, the mayor is looking for a new sheriff (or constable), since his most recent one died in the last Boray attack.
Starbuck and Boomer head into town and meet Bogan, and receive very little interest in the energizer. As they head back, they are ambushed and their transport along with the energizer are stolen. Returning to town to complain, Starbuck finds himself, naturally enough, in a gambling match, and accidentally wins the constable's star - making him the new sheriff!
Adama comes into town to sort things out, but before any headway can be made the Borays, led by their chief Nogow, attack. Although the Colonials are able to fend off the raid, Belloby is captured in the confusion and hauled away to the Boray camp.
The Colonials, having straightened out with Bogan what his scheme was, head to the Boray settlement to recover Belloby. Adama attempts to communicate with Nogow, but is gets nowhere. Then, Starbuck makes an attempt to negotiate and somehow gets Nogow to agree to terms. Belloby is released and the other Colonials wonder what Starbuck must have said to change the course of negotiations.
Heading back into town, Starbuck reveals that he made Nogow the sheriff, and with him involved in the community his concerns are now met. Belloby decides Adama is too old for her, and the Colonials leave with their much needed grain.
