The '''Caprica Buccaneers''' are a [[pyramid (RDM)|pyramid]] team from [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]], captained by [[Samuel Anders|Samuel T. Anders]] before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The team has existed for roughly a century before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

== Pre-Fall ==

58 years before the Cylon holocaust, the Buccaneers are owned by [[Daniel Graystone]], inventor of the [[Cylon Prototype]]. Owning the Buccaneers had been a childhood fantasy of Graystone's. Graystone invited [[Joseph Adama]] and his son, [[William Adama|William]], to court-side seats weeks after [[Ben Stark]]'s suicide bombing of the [[Lev]] claimed the lives members from both families.

Even in his youth, William Adama was sharply critical of the Buccaneers, noting that [[Rod Jenkins]] was responsible for losing the game he watched ([[Caprica pilot]]) and, later in his life, noted that he was a [[Picon Panthers]] fan ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

== Post-Fall ==

According to the Buccaneers, they are undertaking high-altitude training in the mountains at the time of the [[Cylon]] [[Cylon attack|nuclear bombardment]] of Caprica. Shielded from the shockwaves and a bulk of the nuclear fallout, they manage to round up hikers and other survivors camping in the mountains into a sizable [[Caprica Resistance|resistance force]].  From there, they siege supply depots, hospitals (for [[Anti-radiation medication|anti-radiation meds]]) and destroy Cylon convoys ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).

The Buccaneers' team roster consisted of Anders, "Jo-Man", "Rally", "Ten Point", [[Sue-Shaun]], "Crip-key" and Morris Fink ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).

With her comments, [[Kara Thrace]]—who mentions to Anders later on that a "bum knee" robbed her of a professional pyramid career—either was not a fan of the team, or was a sharp critic. While questioning Anders' legitimacy at gunpoint, she demands that he tell her how many "foul breaks" the Buccaneers had in the playoff against [[Aerelon]]. Anders tells Thrace that one foul break was called back, after instant replay, suggesting a parallel to the National Football League, cricket, and other major sporting leagues, in which officials may review replays after a play before making a final decision (Resistance).  Despite Anders' popularity and skill, the Buccaneers never won a championship while under his lead ([[Daybreak, Part I]]).

==Notes==
*The team's nickname may be a reference to the 2003 [[w:Super Bowl|Super Bowl]] champion, the [[w:Tampa Bay Buccaneers|Tampa Bay Buccaneers]] in the [[w:National Football League|National Football League]].
*The team is often referred to as the "C-Bucs" for short.
*In the [[Caprica pilot]], the team's colors are blue, white, and green, the same colors as the [[w:Vancouver Canucks|Vancouver Canucks]].  Incidentally, the current Buccaneer's colors - black, red, and yellow - are the old Canucks colors.
*It is unclear whether the Bucs are meant to represent just [[Caprica City]], or the planet [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] as a whole since the only other known team is the Picon Panthers, and we have no way of knowing whether the other eleven colonies follow the same naming convention for their capitals (Picon City, Aerelon City, Tauron City, and so on) as Caprica. However, since they were seperate soverign nations before the Cylons revolted, it would make more sense if there were multiple teams per world.

-After discovering that Graystone's role in the death of two of his workers over the [[meta-cognitive processor]], [[Tomas Vergis]] sets out to destroy everything that Graystone loves in retribution. Discovering that Graystone Industries is hemorrhaging financially due to their attempts to replicate the processor, Vergis offers a lucrative deal of 300 million [[Cubit|cubits]] to acquire the Buccaneers. Despite numerous refusals, the chagrined Graystone capitulates in order to stave off Graystone Industries' insolvency  {{CAP|Know Thy Enemy|The Imperfections of Memory|End of Line}}.

-With Vergis later deceased by ritual suicide at Graystone's hand, the chain of custody regarding the Buccaneers ownership is undefined, and may involve the [[Ha'la'tha]]. Regardless, Graystone's ties to the Buccaneers remain unique during the [[Battle of Atlas Arena]], wherein the debut and efficacy of the [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit|U-87 Cyber Combat Units]] became solidified into the public consciousness of the Twelve Worlds {{TRS|Apotheosis (episode)}}.
