'''Nugget''' is a Colonial military term to describe pilot trainees. Like many terms in the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' series, "nugget" is carried over from present day American military slang. | |||

Please note that "nugget" should not be confused with "rook" or "rookie." The latter term applies to a person who has completed their training and qualifications, yet is still inexperienced. | |||
[[Kara Thrace]] is assigned the task of flight instructor to train a batch of potential [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots after 13 (including [[Flat Top]]) are killed in a freak accident ([[Act of Contrition]]). There are originially 8 nuggets, including [[Louanne Katraine|Louanne "Kat" Katraine"]], [[Brendan Constanza|Brendan "Hotdog" Constanza]], and "[[Perry|Chuckles]]". Later, Chuckles dies attacking a Cylon [[tylium]] refinery ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]). | |||
According to the SciFi.com official website, after the events of "The Hand of God", there are 5 surviving nuggets. New groups of nuggets are in training in "The Hand of God", and by mid-[[Season 2 (2005-06)|season 2]] many new pilots are trained using the flight simulators on ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''. | |||
Curiously, when the first batch of "nuggets" arrive aboard ''Galactica'', they wear the rank insignia of "Petty Officer, 1st Class". | |||
