	'''Stealthstar''' 7746VA was a designation used for a Colonial stealth craft.
			'''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>.

			== Mission Profile ==

	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.		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.

	During the mission, the Stealthstar had open comm channels, ~~and was actively monitoring~~ [[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}}.		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.

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}}.

			== Destruction ==

			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.

	~~==Notes==~~		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>
