| '''Stealthstar''' 7746VA was a designation used for a [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial]] stealth reconnaissance craft deployed in classified intelligence operations circa {{BCH|6}}<ref name="hero_timeline_continuity" group="footnotes">While dialogue from "[[Hero]]" places these events at 1 BCH, this contradicts previously established dates about the time Adama and others served on ''Galactica''. See [[Hero#Analysis]] for a detailed explanation why ''Battlestar Wiki'' chooses to treat this as a continuity error.</ref>. | | '''Stealth Star''' 7746VA was a designation used by a Colonial stealth craft. |

|
| == Mission Profile ==
| | Lieutenant [[Daniel Novacek|Daniel "Bulldog" Novacek]] from [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Valkyrie]]'' piloted a stealth recon craft, designated ''Stealth Star'', across the [[Armistice Line]] in order to determine whether or not the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] were performing a military buildup ([[Hero]]). |

| Lieutenant [[Daniel Novacek|Daniel "Bulldog" Novacek]], from the [[battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Valkyrie]]'', piloted this craft across the [[Armistice Line]] in order to determine whether or not the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] were performing a military buildup.
| | ==Notes== |
| | | * The Stealth Star utilized the [[Viper Mark VII|Viper Mk VII]] cockpit for interior scenes. |
| During the mission, the Stealthstar had open comm channels, with active [[DRADIS]], perhaps in an attempt to lure the Cylons with the intent of going silent at the first sign of trouble. Its position was clearly visible to ''Valkyrie''{{'|s}} DRADIS. However, the Stealthstar was interdicted by a craft of unknown designation (presumably Cylon) which quickly jumped in and out. In an attempt to conceal the mission, ''Valkyrie''{{'|s}} CO, Commander [[William Adama]], attempted to destroy the craft before the Cylons found it. This resulted in severe damage before its stealth functions were fully utilized {{TRS|Hero}}.
| | * On ''Valkyrie'''s [[Dradis]], the ship was designated as "S-Star". |
| | | |
| == Destruction ==
| | == See also == |
| | | * [[Blackbird]], the first Colonial stealth craft introduced in the series. |
| Following the Cylon attack on Novacek's fighter, Commander Adama ordered a ship-to-ship missile launched from ''Valkyrie'' to prevent capture of Colonial military technology. Novacek ejected moments before the missile impact completely destroyed the stealth reconnaissance vessel.<ref group="footnotes" name="eick_hero_script_stealthstar_destruction">{{cite script|writer=David Eick|title=Hero|series=Battlestar Galactica|season_number=3|episode_number=7|production_code=307-03007|script_date=October 25, 2006|version=Full Collated|page=PDF page 36, script page 29}}</ref>

| == Notes == | |
| | |
| === Technical Specifications ===
| |
| | |
| The Stealthstar utilized the [[Viper Mark VII]] cockpit configuration for pilot operations. On ''Valkyrie''{{'|s}} [[DRADIS]] display system, the ship was designated with the tactical identifier "S-Star" for tracking purposes during the reconnaissance mission. | |
| | |
| === Production History === | |
| | |
| The Stealthstar design represents a redress of the [[Blackbird]] stealth fighter created for the series.<ref group="commentary" name="moore_hero_podcast_stealth_redress">{{cite rdm podcast|episode=Hero|act=2|id=stealthredress|timestamp=00:25:14|totalrunning=00:47:05}}</ref> This production decision allowed the series to create a visually distinct reconnaissance craft while utilizing existing assets.
| |
| | |
| === From Script to Screen ===
| |
| | |
| The "[[Hero]]" script provides additional context about the Stealthstar's mission parameters and technical capabilities. The script identifies the craft specifically as a "stealth recon ship" and emphasizes its experimental nature within the Colonial Fleet's reconnaissance capabilities.<ref group="production" name="eick_hero_script_stealthstar_specifications">{{cite script|writer=David Eick|title=Hero|series=Battlestar Galactica|season_number=3|episode_number=7|production_code=307-03007|script_date=October 25, 2006|version=Full Collated|page=PDF page 32, script page 25}}</ref>
