| | According to a [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes/season02/202/deleted1.html scene] cut from the episode "[[Valley of Darkness]], ''Brenik'' was a colonial ship which was boarded by Cylon forces during the second year of the war. It was apparently a small vessel, with a crew of approximately 75, only 20 of whom survived the attack. Then-Petty Officer [[Saul Tigh]] was among the survivors, at that time a teenager serving as gunner's mate. |

| '''''Brenik''''' was a [[Colonial]] ship that was boarded by [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]] forces during the second year of the [[Cylon War]]. <ref>This comes from a [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 2 (RDM)#Valley of Darkness|scene cut]] out of "[[Valley of Darkness]]".</ref> The ship's crew fought the Cylon boarding party in hand-to-hand combat in a battle over the ship's ammunition magazines. By the end of the war, the Cylons would abandon this tactic in favor of venting a ship's atmosphere and turning its guns against its allies. Out of 75, only 20 survived the attack.
| | He recounted that the Cylon boarding party engaged his crew in hand-to-hand combat in a battle over the ship's ammunition magazines. By the end of the war, they would abandon this tactic in favor of venting a ship's atmosphere and turning its guns against its allies. |
| | |
| [[Saul Tigh]] claimed to have served on the ship at the time of the boarding; however, given his [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Cylon nature]], this would have been impossible. The memories of this attack were imprinted into his consciousness by [[John Cavil|Cavil]] shortly before his resurrection and introduction into Colonial society {{TRS|No Exit}}.
| |
| | |
| The loss of ''Brenik'' was apparently an infamous Colonial defeat, as years later when Tigh told [[William Adama]] of the attack on the ship, Adama instantly knew its fate.

| == Notes ==
| |
| * According to [[Podcast:Valley of Darkness|RDM's podcast]], the scene was supposed to be similar to the scene in [[w:Jaws (film)|''Jaws'']] where [[w:Quint (Jaws character)|Quint]] recounts the infamous fate of the [[Wikipedia: USS Indianapolis (CA-35)|USS ''Indianapolis'']].
