An expensive prototype craft is being tested by the [[Colonial Fleet (TRS)|Colonial Fleet]] roughly one and a half years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. 

The craft is larger than a [[Raptor]], its cockpit located at the ship's forward section. The ship has a smooth look to it, with red pin-striping in a form similar to an Arabic number "2"; to its aft, it appears to have similar hull-ribbing that ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' has.

This craft is used in an exercise against three [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]]s, two of which are easily taken out, while a [[Viper 0233NC|third]] (piloted by [[Kara Thrace]]) only has a weapons malfunction. When this craft makes a combat landing towards the port [[landing bay]], Thrace accelerates her craft and rams into the ship, causing damage to both the craft and her Viper. The act also earns her scorn from Commander [[William Adama]], who advises her to learn how to "play the game" (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 3]]'').
