Vorlage:Character Data
Sarah Porter is a politician from Gemenon, who is selected to represent her colony in the Quorum of Twelve (TRS: "Colonial Day"). During her tenure, Porter is an influential presence within the Quorum.
She initially supports the nomination of Tom Zarek as a candidate for the vice presidency. This is possibly a move to spite President Laura Roslin after she refuses a request from Porter for additional water supplies over and above the agreed quotas (TRS: Colonial Day"). Being from Gemenon, she is very familiar with the Sacred Scrolls and was able to confirm President Roslin's claim that she was the dying leader mentioned in the Pythian Prophecy who would lead the fleet to Earth. This seems to have softened her political grudge against Roslin (TRS: "Fragged"). Later, Porter clashes with Roslin, when a teenager from Gemenon, Rya Kibby, seeks to have an abortion (TRS: "The Captain's Hand").
As of the Second Exodus from New Caprica, Porter no longer represents Gemenon in the Quorum (TRS: "The Ties That Bind").
