'''Kathryn Ann Sackhoff''', credited as '''Katee Sackhoff''', is an American actress who portrays [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].

== Biographical Notes ==

Katee was born April 8, 1980 and raised in and around St. Helens, Oregon. She took up swimming and planned to continue with the sport when she got to college, hoping to have a career as a competitive swimmer, but a knee injury ended those plans (just as a knee injury ended her character's plans of being a professional [[Pyramid (RDM)|pyramid]] player). After this, she took up acting when she was 16.

Sackhoff starred opposite [[imdb:nm0000377|Richard Dreyfuss]] and [[imdb:nm0001315|Marcia Gay Harden]] in the CBS series, ''[[imdb:tt0285356|The Education of Max Bickford]]''. On the big screen, she appears in Dimension Films' ''[[imdb:tt0220506|Halloween: Resurrection]]''. She was also featured in the films ''[[imdb:tt0206963|My First Mister]]'' with [[imdb:nm0001441|Christine Lahti]] and ''[[imdb:tt0221218|The Glass House]]'' with [[imdb:nm0000178|Diane Lane]].

Upon graduating from high school in Portland, Oregon, Sackhoff moved to Los Angeles, where she landed the lead role in the MTV pilot ''[[imdb:tt0238384|Locust Valley]]''. She went on to star in the Fox Family Channel series ''[[imdb:tt0251507|The Fearing Mind]]''. Sackhoff's other television credits include a recurring role on MTV's ''[[imdb:tt0190106|Undressed]]'', guest spots on ''[[imdb:tt0108757|ER]]''; ''[[imdb:tt0182656|Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane]]'' and ''[[imdb:tt0179128|Chicken Soup for the Soul]]''. She also had a supporting role in the USA Network film ''[[imdb:tt0213708|Hefner: Unauthorized]]''. She recently appeared in the TV movie [[imdb:tt1002439|How I Married My High School Crush]] and the films ''[[imdb:tt0496436|White Noise 2]]'' and ''[[imdb:tt0758762|The Last Sentinel]]''.

Battlestar alumni Executive Producer [[David Eick]] and castmember [[Mark Sheppard]], who played Romo Lampkin, are working with her on her most recent project: the new Sci-fi channel TV series The Bionic Woman where she plays the villain Sarah Corvis.

According to Ron Moore and David Eick in the podcast for "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", Katee is ''no longer'' dating a tackle from the Kansas City Chiefs.

Interesting facts about Katee: she has a dog named "Meatball" and another named Nelly B after her ''[[imdb:tt0285356|The Education of Max Bickford]]'' character, she is 5'6" tall, and she wears a thumb ring on one of her hands. This piece of jewelry was written into the series and is said to be an engagement ring from [[Zak Adama]].

== Tattoos ==

Katee has three tattoos that we know of. She has a crucifix tattoo on her left shoulder blade. As Christianty is not practiced in the Battlestar Galactica universe, it was covered up in the show by bandages in scenes when her skin was exposed (her scene with [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] at the beginning of "[[The Farm]]", for example) Since "[[Unfinished Business]]" it has been inked over with a large stepped pyramid.

Katee also has a tattoo of the Japanese character for "choice" on the back of her neck. In season one, they usually tried to avoid using camera shots that caught her at that angle, but observant viewers will still notice it. Her hair was longer in season 2, but when tied in a ponytail, it was nonetheless visible.

[[Image:Bonafiscalia.JPG|thumb|left|Katee's tattoo on her right arm|thumb]]
Katee's third tattoo is on the inner side of her right forearm, just below the elbow. It consists of the words "bona fiscalia" which is Latin for "public property". This tattoo is actually visible in numerous episodes. At the beginning of the show, they tried to avoid showing it, for example by having Katee tuck her arm slightly behind her back in wide-shots, but it was still visible on occasion, and over time, they gave up trying to hide it.

The nature of '''[[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's]] specific destiny''' began in the season 1 episode, "[[Flesh and Bone]]", continues through "[[Maelstrom]]", where the character dies, and continues with theological ramifications in the season 3 cliffhanger, "[[Crossroads, Part II]]". Indications from the series' events strongly suggest that Thrace has an unknown connection to one or more locales or entities: The [[Temple of Five]], the Cylon's [[final five]], the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] and the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM)|The Lords of Kobol]].

Thrace is told of her part in a destiny by the second copy of the Cylon [[Leoben Conoy]] in the season 1 episode "[[Flesh and Bone]]" during his interrogation. The lines suggest that Thrace's destiny also involves the Leoben himself:

<div style="font-size:90%"><blockquote>"This is not your path, Starbuck. You have a different destiny."</blockquote>
<blockquote>"All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again."</blockquote>
<blockquote>"You kneel before idols and ask for guidance and you can't see that your destiny's already been written. Each of us plays a role, each time a different role. Maybe the last time I was the interrogator, and you were the prisoner. The players change, the story remains the same. And this time...this time, your role is to deliver my soul unto God. Do it for me. It's your destiny, and mine."</blockquote></div>

In this same dialogue, the Leoben talks of the abuse that Thrace suffered at the hands of her mother, [[Socrata Thrace]].

Fewer elements are noted about the destiny in season 2. In the episode "[[Valley of Darkness]]", [[Helo]] and Thrace enter Thrace's old apartment, where, among other paintings, a noticeable "bullseye"-like painting is seen. Several episodes later, in "[[The Farm]]", the Cylon later to be known as [[Sharon Agathon]] tells Thrace after her rescue from the [[Farms|farm]]: "They know who you are, Kara. You’re special. Leoben told you that. You have a destiny." A [[Simon]] also reflects knowledge of Thrace's child abuse through a medical examination in the same episode.

[[Image:S3-eyeofjupiter.jpg|thumb|The 'mandala' in the [[Temple of Five]]]]
By late into season 3, the episodes "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]" and "[[Rapture]]" reveal the [[Eye of Jupiter]], a symbol left by the [[Thirteenth Tribe]] in the [[Temple of Five]]. As the home star of the [[algae planet]] goes nova, the star's discharge is very similar to one that was observed in the distant [[Ionian system]] at the time of the Thirteenth Tribe's journey, and greatly resembles the symbol of the Eye in the temple. Only Helo had seen what is now called the "[[w:mandala|mandala]]" by the Fleet leadership before, and shows Thrace the photo of one mandala from the Temple of Five, comparing it to Thrace's symbol. Thrace remembers the words of the Leoben from "Flesh and Bone."

By "[[Maelstrom]]", Thrace is seeing the mandala in many objects: the dripping of wax, and as the colors of a gas giant's planetary storm. Thrace becomes increasing distracted by and attracted to the symbol whenever it appears. When she is knocked unconscious during her last flight and "awakens" in her old apartment (where the mandala appears again), a [[Virtual Leoben|person in Leoben's likeness]] greets Thrace and allows her to relive the last moments with her mother. This section vaguely alludes to information that Socrata knew about her daughter's path in life and tried to prepare her for it as best she knew how. The [[Podcast:Maelstrom|podcast]] for the episode by [[Ron D. Moore]] supports this by stating:

<div style="font-size:90%"><blockquote><nowiki>[. . .]</nowiki>"(In) this episode, you could see that there was really something behind it. That Kara really does have a destiny. That Kara really was fated for a particular end. And that mom was trying to prepare her for that. And prepare her for those roles, on some level, even if she couldn't quite articulate why and what she was doing to her daughter, that her mother believed and had seen oracles and had felt that Kara was special, and that out of her desire to toughen her daughter and make her daughter strong enough to take on the challenges that she was gonna face one day, she had really stepped over the line and had abused the daughter and had created this really toxic relationship between mother and child."</blockquote></div>

Moore's note on Socrata Thrace's use of [[oracle]]s strongly support the connection between Thrace and the Lords of Kobol.

==The Aurora Connection==

When Thrace visits the oracle [[Yolanda Brenn]], the pilot finds a figurine of [[Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn|Aurora]], ostensibly a figure of worship in the Colonial faith, if not a Lord of Kobol itself. The oracle tells Thrace to keep the figure until Thrace realizes who should receive it. That person is [[William Adama|Admiral Adama]]. After Thrace's death, Adama places the Aurora figurine on his sailing ship model as a [[w:figurehead|figurehead]]. The figurehead on a ship given by Thrace may allude to a connection to the path to Earth through Thrace and her destiny, but little more can be determined by this aired information.

The most mysterious element towards the end of the episode involves the revelation by Thrace that the [[Virtual Leoben|Leoben in her vision]] is not in fact Leoben (nor does it claim to be). What or who the vision was that guided Thrace in the vision is unknown, but "Leoben's" presence with Thrace in her last moments before choosing to die reflects the "Flesh and Bone" line from an actual Leoben: "You have to deliver my soul unto God. Do it for me. It's your destiny, and mine." The "Leoben" claims to guide Thrace to what lies "between life and death". Thrace then reawakens in her cockpit, and finds herself rapidly losing altitude, endangering her Viper. After briefly saying goodbye to [[Lee Adama]], she intentionally lets her Viper drop below the critical altitude. Thrace sees a vision in a white light (viewers also see Thrace as a young girl) after which her Viper explodes.

In the [[Crossroads, Part II|Season 3 finale]], Kara Thrace's destiny as a possible [[w:avatar|avatar]] of Aurora appears to gain support when she reappears in a pristine Viper Mark II, flying alongside and speaking with Lee Adama. The fact that Apollo spots Thrace's Viper on his DRADIS identifies her as a physical object, not a hallucination or [[Virtual beings|other vision]]. The method of Kara Thrace's resurrection is unclear. The [[Podcast:Crossroads, Part II|podcast]] for this episode confirms that Thrace ''did'' die, and has returned--something that, prior to this episode, only a [[humanoid Cylon]] could do.
