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

Colonel Tigh later 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.

The loss of ''Brenik'' was apparently an infamous Colonial defeat, as years later when Tigh told [[William Adama]] he served on the ship Adama instantly knew its fate.

:''According to RDM's podcast, the scene was supposed to be similar to the scene in [[Wikipedia:Jaws|"Jaws"]] where Quent recounts the infamous fate of the [[Wikipedia: USS Indianapolis (CA-35)| ''USS Indianapolis'']].''

-[[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}}.
