			[[File:Scarlet Viper model.jpg\|thumb\|An actual model of the Scarlet Viper built by Steve Parady.]]

			The '''Scarlet Viper''', also known as the '''Scarlet-class Viper''', is an advanced {{TOS-RH\|Colonial Viper}} introduced in {{TOS-RH\|7360}}. Built aboard the forge ship ''{{TOS-RH\|Hephaestus}}'', the Scarlet Viper represents a significant technological advancement over both the original {{TOS\|Viper}} design and the intermediate {{TOS-RH\|Azure-class Viper}}<ref name="STG240">{{cite book/RH\|1\|240}}</ref>.

			== Design and Development ==

			Following the Fleet's discovery of a rich planetoid in {{TOS-RH\|7352}}, the Colonials gained access to mineral resources needed to build new Vipers and repair existing ships<ref name="STG81">{{cite book/RH\|1\|81}}</ref>. An old freighter was retrofitted and re-christened ''Hephaestus'', becoming one of the Fleet's most valued ships. Most older Vipers were laboriously rebuilt using a new [[pulsar]] system that burned cleaner [[tylium]] samples, reducing the risk of [[solium]] leaks<ref name="STG240" />.

			More than forty Azure-class Vipers were built before the new Scarlet-class model was developed, with the first Scarlet Viper presented to Lieutenant Commander {{TOS-RH\|Apollo}}<ref name="STG240" />. A second was earmarked for Captain {{TOS-RH\|Starbuck}}, who rejected the new ship in favor of his older Viper<ref name="STG3">{{cite book/RH\|1\|3}}</ref>.

			At least four additional Scarlet Vipers were in the process of being completed prior to a seditionist bombing that derailed their production<ref name="STG114">{{cite book/RH\|1\|114}}</ref><ref name="STG117">{{cite book/RH\|1\|117}}</ref>.

			== Technical Specifications ==

			=== Propulsion ===

			The Scarlet Viper is equipped with triple pulsar engines that produce blue-white tylium flame<ref name="STG240" />. Unlike earlier Viper classes, the Scarlet-class includes a hover mode capability<ref name="STG187">{{cite book/RH\|1\|187}}</ref>, allowing for delicate maneuvering and stationary positioning in space or atmosphere.

			=== Weapons and Defenses ===

	~~[[File:~~Scarlet Viper ~~model.jpg~~\|~~thumb~~\|~~An actual model~~ of the Scarlet Viper ~~built by Steve Parady~~.]]		The Scarlet Viper is armed with turbolasers that can be recalibrated for full power and beam width via voice command<ref name="STG234">{{cite book/RH\|1\|234}}</ref>. The starfighter is equipped with energy shields capable of deflecting tangential laser blasts, though direct hits can penetrate the shields and damage the Viper<ref name="STG7">{{cite book/RH\|1\|7}}</ref><ref name="STG234" />.

			=== Avionics and Systems ===

			The Scarlet Viper features several advanced systems:

			* '''Scanner Technology''': Creates a "laser-constructed three-dimensional image" of destinations<ref name="STG1">{{cite book/RH\|1\|1}}</ref>, displayed via [[holo-scanner]] that can show the ship's status and damage in real-time<ref name="STG234" />.
			* '''Voice-Activated Computer''': Recognizes voice input for commands<ref name="STG5">{{cite book/RH\|1\|5}}</ref>, likely a successor to [[C.O.R.A.]]
			* '''Helm Interface''': The pilot's [[helm]] provides an info-scroll with sensor readings, scanner reports, tactical suggestions, and system warnings<ref name="STG233">{{cite book/RH\|1\|233}}</ref>.
			* '''Improved Systems''': Enhanced weapons, navigation, and targeting systems compared to earlier models<ref name="STG7" />.

			=== Performance ===

			The Scarlet-class Viper demonstrates superior maneuverability, capable of achieving one hundred-eighty degree tilts<ref name="STG234" /> and executing precise combat maneuvers at high speeds<ref name="STG241">{{cite book/RH\|1\|241}}</ref>. The fighter's triple-pulsar configuration provides exceptional acceleration<ref name="STG240" />.

			== Operational History ==

	In creating his mock trailer for his [[continuation]] project, ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming]]'', [[Original Series]] actor [[Richard Hatch]] created an upgraded [[Viper]] for the project, known as the '''Scarlet Viper''' or the Scarlet-class Viper.		=== Initial Deployment ===

	~~A CGI artist, Steve Parady, met with Hatch~~, ~~who was pleased by~~ the ~~conceptual drawing that Parady created. The design~~ for the ~~fighter was inspired by the~~ [[~~Wikipedia:X-29~~\|~~X-29 test fighter~~]]'s ~~swept forward wings~~.		Apollo receives the first Scarlet Viper in {{TOS-RH\|7360}} and uses it for reconnaissance missions, including a fateful journey to the planet {{TOS-RH\|Ochoa}} where he searches for the missing Starbuck<ref name="STG3" /><ref name="STG5" />. During this mission, Apollo encounters new Cylon dark [[Raider (TOS)\|Raiders]] equipped with [[quantum shift effect]] (QSE) technology, which penetrate his Viper's shields and damage the pulsar and [[gyro-capacitor]] systems<ref name="STG234" />.

	~~The design was seen in the completed mock trailer.~~		=== Battle Engagements ===

	~~== Book appearance ==~~		Apollo's Scarlet Viper sees extensive combat during the crisis in {{TOS-RH\|7360}}, including:

	~~The Scarlet~~-~~class Viper, or simply Scarlet Viper, is introduced in Hatch's first novel,~~ "[[~~Armageddon~~]]". ~~It is said to be a successor to~~ the [[~~Viper (RH)\|Azure-class Viper~~]], ~~itself a successor of the original {{TOS\|Viper}} seen in the Original Series.~~<ref~~>{{Cite book~~/~~RH\|1\|2}}</ref~~>		* Combat against QSE-equipped Cylon dark Raiders<ref name="STG234" />.
			* A daring infiltration of a Cylon [[basestar]] using the Viper's hover mode capability<ref name="STG187" />.
			* Multiple engagements during the [[Battle for the Fleet]], where Apollo and Starbuck coordinate attacks using their respective fighters<ref name="STG241" />.

	The difference between this and the original Viper include a scanner that creates a "laser-constructed three-dimensional image" of destinations<ref>{{Cite book/RH\|1\|1}}</ref>, in addition to improved systems and weapons, and even energy shields.<ref name=~~"a-7">{{Cite book/RH\|1\|7}}</ref> However, these energy shields are incapable of handling a direct blast, at least without damaging the Viper, but can "shrug off" tangential blasts.<ref name~~=~~"a-7"/>~~		=== Notable Incident ===

	~~One of~~ the Scarlet's ~~flight~~-~~modes is a hover mode~~, a ~~feature not available to earlier Viper classes~~<ref>{{~~Cite~~ book/RH\|1\|~~187~~}}</ref>.		In a climactic moment during the Battle for the Fleet, Apollo appears to sacrifice himself by flying his Scarlet Viper on a collision course with a Cylon basestar's vulnerable core column. The resulting explosion destroys most of the basestar. However, Apollo reveals he had remote-slaved the Viper's systems and packed it with [[solonite]], piloting it remotely while flying a captured Cylon Raider<ref name="STG286">{{cite book/RH\|1\|286-287}}</ref>.

	~~It also contains a computer that recognizes voice input<ref>{{Cite book/RH\|1\|5}}</ref>, likely a successor to [[C.O.R.A.]].~~		== Behind the Scenes ==

	In ~~{{TOS-RH\|7360}}~~, the ~~first of this Viper class is furnished to Lieutenant Commander {{TOS-RH\|Apollo}},~~ with ~~a second earmarked for {{TOS-RH\|Starbuck}}~~, who ~~rejects~~ the ~~ship in favor of his older Viper<ref>{{Cite book/RH~~\|~~1\|3}}</ref>~~. ~~At least four Scarlet Vipers are~~ in the ~~process of being~~ completed~~<ref>{{Cite book/RH\|1\|114}}</ref> prior to a seditionist bombing derailing their completion<ref>{{Cite book/RH\|1\|117}}</ref> {{RH\|Armageddon}}~~.
