Margaret "Racetrack"[1] Edmondson is a Raptor pilot that frequently serves as "ECO of the Week" in a number of episodes, a title she inherits from Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo after he is shot in the back on Kobol.

She is often used as a plot tool whenever anything unexpectedly goes wrong. Her exploits include a substantial list of frakups, including:

  • forgetting to mention Boomer's freakout aboard the Basestar until after Boomer shot Commander Adama (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II)
  • failure to notice a bomb strapped to the bottom of her Raptor (The Son Also Rises)
  • failure to notice an incoming Cylon fleet because she was too busy playing cards (Crossroads, Part I)
  • flying her Raptor into Colonial One after blowing out the Raptor's engines (Dirty Hands)
  • losing her escort ship while bringing it through a star system (The Passage)
  • jumping to the wrong coordinates during the Caprica Search and Rescue mission on the very first jump (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I)
  • failure to properly land her Raptor after losing a single thruster (Embrace Verbosity)

Of course, none of those match her "Starbuckian" frakup of intergalactic proportions: discovering Nu Craprica!
