In 7328, Starbuck arrives at Adama's home and asks Adama to sponsor his application to become a Colonial Warrior, despite the fact that Starbuck's foster parents could have done so—but wouldn't have. Adama initially rebukes this, leading to Apollo—a first-[[yahren]] flight cadet—to challenge Starbuck to a [[turbocycle]] race down [[Mount Colicos]]. This race leads to bonding between the two, particularly as the race goes wrong and results in the destruction of both participants' cycles, as well as Adama being pressured into sponsoring Starbuck as a Warrior (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1]])''. | In 7328, Starbuck arrives at Adama's home and asks Adama to sponsor his application to become a Colonial Warrior, despite the fact that Starbuck's foster parents could have done so—but wouldn't have.

In 7331, Starbuck is assigned to shadow his flight instructor, Lieutenant [[Wyler]], aboard battlestar ''[[Pegasus (TOS alternate)|Pegasus]]''.

In the course of this, he happens across [[McKintosh]] during a game of [[pyramid (TOS)|pyramid]] at one of his and Wyler's frequent [[chanceries]]. In the course of the game, McKintosh learns that Starbuck was at Umbra, and recalls that he too was there that day as he freighted agro from the Umbra factory. He makes a grandiose claim that the [[defense net]] went down, contrary to the official story that it had been destroyed, and that he had information on a chip to prove it. As McKintosh lost the wager, he gives the chip to Starbuck—only for Starbuck to discovery that it was corrupted (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1]]''). | |||
