'''Viper 8547''' is a [[Viper]] Mk. II spacefighter, formerly flown by [[Raymond Lai|Raymond "Raygun" Lai]]. It had been refurbished to flight condition as part of a museum on the soon-to-be-retired [[Original battlestar (RDM)|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]''.

Lai's Viper was part of two squadrons of old Viper Mark IIs in the museum's exhibit area in the newly refitted pressurized starboard [[flight pod]].

Raygun's Viper was never to remain a museum piece. When a new [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] menace destroys ''[[Galactica]]'s'' last Mark VII squadron en route to Caprica after the battlestar's decommissioning ceremonies, and with the battlestar itself [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage|without munitions]], Commander [[William Adama]] orders these old fighters returned to flight status to protect the battlestar.

Lt. [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] inherits the craft after the bulk of ''Galactica's'' more advanced Mk. VII vipers were destroyed in the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. She flew it in defense of ''Galactica'' prior to that ship's evasive jump to [[Ragnar Anchorage]].
