It was later revealed Tory was a [[Final Five]] [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] (an identity she embraces to an extent far greater than her cohorts).<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> === Past as one of the Final Five ===<br /> <br /> Like the other [[Final Five]] [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], Tory is a scientist re-inventing Cylon [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]] technology on Earth. She cohabitates with her lover, [[Galen Tyrol]]. When nuclear armageddon comes, she downloads to a resurrection ship the five had placed in orbit, having been warned of Earth's impending doom.<br /> <br /> She and her cohorts travel at relativistic but subluminal speed to warn the other Twelve Tribes (i.e., humanity) about the dangers of creating artificial life in order to avoid another revolt and horrific war. They follow the sign-posts left by the 13th Tribe, such as the [[The Temple of Five|Temple of Hopes]]. Tory and the others arrive during the [[Cylon War|First Cylon War]], too late to have prevented it. They are, however, able to end the war by agreeing to help the Centurions develop [[humanoid Cylons]], a project on which the Centurions had [[Razor Flashbacks#Episode 5 The Lab|started with little success]].<br /> <br /> Tory and the other four Final Five create eight humanoid Cylons. [[Number One]] becomes jealous of the others, particularly [[Number Seven]], and dissatisfied with the body and programming the Final Five gave them. After eliminating the Number Seven line, Number One kills Tory and the other four. He controls their resurrection to repress their memories, and maroon them among the humans, unaware of their true nature. ([[No Exit]])<br /> <br /> === Roslin's loyal aide ===<br /> <br /> [[image:Tory CaptainsHand.JPG|thumb|left|200px|Presidential Aide.]]<br /> Prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]], Tory was precinct captain for the [[Federalist Party]] in [[Delphi]] for five years, where she became proficient at taking polls ([[The Captain's Hand]]). President Roslin taps her to replace the late [[Billy Keikeya]] as Presidential Aide.<br /> <br /> When President Roslin makes the decision to keep the new-born [[Hera Agathon|Cylon/human]] baby as far away from [[Sharon Agathon]] and the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] as possible, Tory creates a list of hand picked civilians who could be trusted with the baby. In the end a civilian named [[Maya]] is selected to take custody of the child. Tory makes it very clear that the child's mother's identity must remain a secret ([[Downloaded]]).<br /> <br /> Tory later conspires with [[Saul Tigh]] and [[Anastasia Dualla]] to rig the Presidential election in Roslin's favor. The ruse is uncovered and suppressed by Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] and Lieutenant [[Gaeta]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). During the occupation of [[New Caprica]], Foster aides Roslin in compiling a list of humans who are in collusion with the Cylons. Roslin makes her responsible for ensuring the safe transport of Maya and Hera off the planet, but she fails at this task. Maya is killed trying to escape New Caprica with the child. Hera survives but is found by the Cylons ("[[Occupation]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]] & [[Exodus, Part II|II]]").<br /> <br /> Before and during the trial of ex-president [[Gaius Baltar]], she is tasked with helping Roslin assemble a tribunal to bring charges against Baltar, as well as establish security arrangements ("[[The Woman King]]", "[[The Son Also Rises]]", "[[Crossroads, Part I]]"). She demonstrates an unwillingness to aid [[Romo Lampkin]]'s defense case through initially stonewalling Lampkin's attempts to gain access to records on ''Colonial One'' ([[The Son Also Rises]]). <br /> <br /> === Revelation as a Cylon ===<br /> <br /> Some time after the apparent death of [[Kara Thrace]] ([[Maelstrom]]), Foster began a sexual relationship with Thrace's widowed husband, [[Samuel Anders]]. Roslin apparently learns of the relationship and is displeased ([[Crossroads, Part II]]). At the beginning of Baltar's trial, Foster begins to show signs of stress, possibly originating from a [[The Music|strange noise]] which she hears as the Fleet moves towards the [[Ionian nebula]]. Her lack of sleep and stress levels results in a damaging outburst to the press corps during the press conference at which Roslin discusses the return of her cancer. Roslin confronts Foster after this, threatening to replace her if she does not get back on her game ([[Crossroads, Part I]]). When the Fleet reaches the nebula, Foster (on ''Galactica'') is drawn to [[Saul Tigh]], [[Galen Tyrol]], and Samuel Anders, who also hear the now-coherent melody. Despite each of them realizing that they are [[Final Five|Cylons]], Foster and the others re-commit themselves to the Colonial cause. Foster returns to [[CIC]] and stands by Roslin, ready to aid ([[Crossroads, Part II]]).<br /> <br /> The four newly revealed Cylons try to keep their nature hidden from those around them, while trying to come to terms it. When they brainstorm ideas about the still-missing final Cylon, Colonel Tigh suggests that Foster flirt with Gaius Baltar to gain access to the knowledge he acquired while living among the Cylons. Although initially repulsed at the idea, she speaks to Baltar and is slightly captivated when he explains how he sees his new role as religious figure. Although at first she cries when eventually sleeping with him, she is further charmed when Baltar tells her that he thinks Cylons are people with feelings too ([[Six of One]]).<br /> <br /> Foster also tries to hit on Galen Tyrol, who rebuffs her advances but is suspected of having an affair by his wife. After one of their clandestine meetings, Foster notices an open wall covering, and concludes that they have been overheard by [[Cally Tyrol]], who must have found a note by Tigh to her husband. Not long after that, she follows her to a Viper [[launch tube (RDM)|launch tube]] where Tyrol is about to kill herself and her [[Nicholas Tyrol|son]] by expelling them out of the tube into space. Foster confronts Tyrol and explains that they only recently found out they were Cylons, and that they are still the same people, as scared and confused as everyone else. Foster comforts Tyrol and takes Nicky in her arms, then suddenly strikes her, throwing her body into the air. She retrieves the launch tube key, exits the launch tube with Nicky in her arms, and uses the key to activate the launch controls. As Tyrol regains consciousness, Tory opens the outer airlock door, sending her to her death in open space ([[The Ties That Bind]]).<br /> <br /> Foster shows no guilt over this. She appears to have embraced both being a Cylon and her own version of Baltar's teachings, allowing her to by-pass such feelings and adopt an almost [[w:hedonism|hedonistic]] approach to life. She declares herself to be "perfect", something that uneases fellow Cylons Tigh and Tyrol, and is in marked contrast to Tigh's and [[Caprica-Six]]'s guilty consciences ([[Escape Velocity]]).<br /> <br /> After [[Number Three (Downloaded copy)|Downloaded Three]] is unboxed, now knowing the identities of the Final Five, and brought to ''Galactica'', Foster stays true her earlier affinity for her Cylon side. Under the pretence of bringing Laura Roslin her medication, she flies to the Cylon basestar, where she is introduced to her fellow Cylons and tells Roslin and Baltar about her true nature. During the ensuing stand off between Three and ''Galactica'' over the remaining three Cylons, she helps Three's cause by informing her of [[Lee Adama]]'s perceived weaknesses ([[Revelations]]).<br /> <br /> When the fleet arrives at [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] and discovers it is a barren world rocked by a nuclear catastrophe and once populated by Cylons, Foster and her fellow [[Final Five]] Cylons begin remembering details about their past lives on the planet. One detail she clearly remembers is how Anders used to be a musician and used to play [[The Music|a song he wrote]] for her and their friends, [[Galen Tyrol]] and [[Saul Tigh|Saul]] and [[Ellen Tigh]]. She and Tyrol were also lovers at the time ([[No Exit]]).<br /> <br /> Since being publicly identified as a member of the [[Final Five]] Cylons, Foster has taken up full time residence on board the rebel basestar, living with the [[Number Two|Twos]], [[Number Six|Sixes]] (less [[Caprica-Six]]), and [[Number Eight|Eights]] (less [[Sharon Agathon]] & [[Sharon Valerii]]). Her fellow Cylons appear to have also given her equal status in their command hierarchy, as evident by her behaviour during [[Gaeta's Mutiny]]. When [[Laura Roslin]] is smuggled aboard the basestar, Foster is content to abandon the fleet to its own turmoil and simply jump away to safety, a notion her fellow Cylons support. Though she repeatedly argues against involving the basestar in the counter-coup efforts, she ultimately concedes to Roslin's plan ([[Blood on the Scales]]).<br /> <br /> During Gaeta's mutiny Sam Anders is shot in the back of the skull. When he regains consciousness he remembers his and the others former life on Earth and after. He recites the history as fast as he could to the other Final Five, including Tory Foster. Like the other Fives she was a scientist attempting to reinvent resurrection technology. To her and Galen Tyrol's mutual shock she learned that they were once lived together as lovers and were engaged to be married. ([[No Exit]]) <br /> After Anders's apparently unsuccessful surgery (in terms of his regaining consciousness) and his comatose state, Foster urged the other Finals and Caprica-Six to leave for the baseship and leave the fleet to strike out on their own without humanity. Then Ellen Tigh the Fifth Final arrives after a so-called rescue of her from Cavil by Sharon Valerii. Arguments of the merits of staying with the fleet and leaving are exchanged and it comes to a vote Tyrol and Foster vote to leave, Tigh votes to stay. While he was presently in a coma Tyrol assumes that Anders would had voted to stay based on his emphatic plea to Col. Tigh to stay with the fleet. It made the vote a 2 to 2 deadlock with Ellen Tigh the deciding vote. At the time she didn't know how she would vote as she was also disturbed by personal revelations of the relationship between Col. Tigh and Caprica-Six. Later, born out of jealousy, resentment and vengeance over Saul Tigh having a child with Caprica-Six and the implication that he loved Caprica-Six more than he ever did Ellen, Ellen voted to with Foster and Tyrol to leave humanity, making it a 3-2 result. However Caprica-Six miscarriage, brought on possibly by stress caused by an attack in Dogsville earlier and personal confrontations with Ellen Tigh over the true love of Saul Tigh. Foster like the others stay since Hera Agathon became the only hope of the Cylons. ([[Deadlock]]) <br /> <br /> As the Five recover over the tragedy of the miscarriage, Tory commiserates with the others including a desperate Tyrol for the life of Boomer who was about to be transported for trial on the baseship. She agrees with Ellen Tigh that they cannot interfere with Cylon due process other than being witnesses. Then she was present when Kara Thrace played the song on the piano in Joe's Bar that switched them on in the nebula. She confronts Thrace as to were she learned that song. Thrace told her it was a song that her father played for her as a child. Later off screen she told them that she was playing the music notes written as a drawing by Hera Agathon. By this time Sharon Valerii had already taken Hera and escaped. ([[Someone to Watch Over Me]]) <br /> <br /> She was later present with Saul Tigh, as Ellen Tigh urged the Adamas to search for Hera at the Cylon Homeworld. Kara Thrace also stresses that they should search of Hera. Tyrol, although not revealed in the aired episode, was arrested for his aid in the escape of Valerii and the abduction of Hera so he was not present. At that meeting Foster didn't render an opinion vocally but she agreed with Ellen's assertions and helps arrange the Heavy Raider reconnaissance mission after Adama gives his permission. ([[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]) <br /> <br /> Ellen Tigh volunteered the Final Five to go on the mission to rescue [[Hera]], much to Tory's dismay. Tory and her Cylon siblings remained on Galactica to control Sam, who is plugged into Galatica's system. ([[Daybreak, Part I]])<br /> <br /> She remains there for the battle, and is standing next to Sam when [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Gaius Baltar]] fulfill the [[External visions|Opera House Prophecy]], rescuing Hera and seeing the Final Five. When [[Cavil]] invades Galactica's CIC to take Hera back, Tigh volunteers to give him Resurrection technology, which requires the Final Five to share their memories. The shared memories reveal to [[Tyrol]] and the others that it was Tory who killed [[Cally]]. An enraged Tyrol breaks the connection and grabs her by the throat, choking her and breaking her neck. With the destruction of the [[Resurrection Hub]], her death is permanent ([[Daybreak, Part II]]).<br /> <br /> {{start box}}<br /> {{succession box|before=[[Billy Keikeya]]|title=Chief of Staff to [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]]|after=''none''}}<br /> {{end box}}<br /> <br /> {{Dead Characters}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:A to Z|Foster, Tory]]<br /> [[Category:Characters|Foster, Tory]]<br /> [[Category:Characters (RDM)|Foster, Tory]]<br /> [[Category:Recurring Guest Characters (RDM)|Foster, Tory]]<br /> [[Category:Cylons|Foster, Tory]]<br /> [[Category:Cylons (RDM)|Foster, Tory]]<br /> [[Category:RDM|Foster, Tory]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Tory Foster]]</div>

<p>Pegasus62: </p> <hr /> <div>This is a listing of '''continuity errors''' in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]].<br /> <br /> == Acknowledged Mistakes ==<br /> <br /> *At the end of "[[Home, Part II]]", when everyone is looking at the map to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] in the [[Tomb of Athena]], Lee Adama points out the [[w:Lagoon Nebula|Lagoon Nebula]] in one of the constellations shown in the sky. According to him, and supported by the visual effects, the nebula is located in [[w:Scorpius|Scorpio]], but in the real world it is actually in the constellation [[wikipedia:Sagittarius (constellation)|Sagittarius]].<br /> *At the beginning of "[[Downloaded]]" two captions are shown: one states that the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon Attack]] in the [[Miniseries, Night 1|Miniseries]] occurred nine months before the current episode (which is consistent with the other episodes in Season 2.5), while the second reads "10 weeks ago", and then shows [[Cally Tyrol|Cally]] shooting [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|"Boomer" Valerii]] in "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]". However, it is impossible for this to have happened "10 weeks before 9 months after the attack": 9 months = 270 days. There is another plaque in the episode "[[Epiphanies]]" which clearly states on screen that that episode took place on Day 189. There are 70 days in 10 weeks. 70 days before Day 270 would be around Day 200; well after "Epiphanies". To correct this, the title card of the DVD and international television releases has been changed to "10 weeks later", meaning 10 weeks after [[Number Six|Number Six's]] rebirth.<br /> *In "[[Scar]]" Starbuck and Kat fly [[Viper Mark VII]]s but the launch in the originally aired episode showed a [[Viper Mark II]]. This has been fixed in the DVD release which now includes a new, but somewhat shorter, launch sequence with the Mk VIIs. (Although, a few previous episodes like "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]" only use the Mk II sequence, but both types of Vipers are deployed by ''Galactica''.)<br /> *"[[Exodus, Part I]]": At the end of "[[Precipice]]" Cally is clearly in the woods when the gunfire is going off. At the time [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and his group take aim at the [[Cylon Centurion]], Cally has not reached the wooded area by the time gunfire sounds. Further, when the gunfire begins in "Precipice", Tyrol is at the firing position, far from Cally, while in "Exodus, Part I" he is holding her to the ground when it begins.<br /> <br /> == [[Retroactive continuity|Retcons]] ==<br /> *[[Season two timeline discontinuity]]: All episodes before Season 2.5 (starting with "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]") seem to indicate that Season 2.5 begins 3-4 months after the Cylon attack. However, "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and all subsequent Season 2.5 episodes indicate that "Resurrection Ship, Part I" began 6 months after the Cylon attack. See the main article for more detailed analysis. There are 3 main points of discontinuity:<br /> **[[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Caprica-Valerii]] is not visibly pregnant in "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", but by "[[Epiphanies]]", roughly 2-3 weeks later, she appears to be in her second trimester.<br /> **The presidential elections in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]" are said to take place 9 months after the attack, when throughout Season 1 it was consistently said to be 7 months after the Cylon attack.<br /> **If all of the dates mentioned in each episode are counted up, "Pegasus" only occurs roughly three months post-attack, not six. <br /> *[[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet numbers]]: In the [[Miniseries]], a total of 40 [[FTL]] ships (led by Roslin) rendezvous with ''Galactica'' at [[Ragnar Anchorage]]. This makes the count 41 ships, including ''Galactica''. However, this number was enlarged for the series. In "[[33]]," Dualla states: "Jump 237 underway... 53 ships have jumped, 10 still reporting trouble with their FTL drives, including ''Colonial One''." Thus making the total 64 ships, including ''Galactica'' herself. By the end of "33", the count drops to 63 as [[Lee Adama]] and [[Kara Thrace]] destroy the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]''. In "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]", Colonel Tigh mentions the Cylons searching for "a sixty-odd ships". The count offered in "[[The Farm]]" is similar &mdash; 24 ships leave to join [[Laura Roslin faction|Roslin's fleet]], which was "almost a third" of the Fleet, putting the number at about 75.<br /> *The ''[[Astral Queen]]'': In the [[Miniseries]], [[Billy Keikeya]] states that the captain had 500 prisoners in his cargo hold, and that the ''Queen'' was a cargo vessel transporting prisoners to a prison. In "[[Bastille Day]]", [[Billy Keikeya]]'s lines were re-dubbed: '''1,500''' prisoners are aboard the ''Astral Queen'' and that the ship was a '''prison transport'''. Lee Adama would go on to later state that the ''Astral Queen'' was en route to [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] for parole hearings.<br /> *[[Cylon detector]]: In the episode "[[Flesh and Bone]]", it takes only minutes to identify [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|"Boomer" Valerii]] as a Cylon. However, in "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]", he states that complete testing on one sample of blood takes 11 hours. However, this could be because a negative result takes 11 hours to confirm but a positive result potentially may be more instant.<br /> *The exodus from [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]]: In "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]" Elosha, Billy and Roslin are discussing Kobol and the exodus of the tribes. Billy says that the ruins on Kobol are 2,000 years old. Elosha states this is when the ''Thirteen'' tribes left Kobol. Other mentions in the show (particularly [[Season 3 (2006-07)|Season 3]] episodes concerning the [[Lymphocytic encephalitis|Cylon virus]] and the [[Temple of Five]]) mention that the 13th tribe left Kobol about 2,000 years before the other twelve did. Elosha's comment implies that all thirteen tribes left Kobol together, just in different directions.<br /> <br /> == Danglers ==<br /> Danglers are plotlines that have been started, but haven't yet been continued as of the end of [[Season 3 (2006-07)|Season 3]].<br /> *[[Caprica-Six]] meeting: In the [[Miniseries]], at the end of the scene where [[Number Six]] and [[Gaius Baltar]] walk through the park, Six says she has to meet someone. After Baltar walks away, she looks off-camera and says she had "been wondering when you'd get here." After this, there is a cut to ''Galatica''. Given that was the day of/before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|attack]], it appears likely that the meeting was related to the Cylon's plans. Regardless of who she was meeting, this has not been revisited.<br /> *[[Tom Zarek|Zarek]]-[[Ellen Tigh|Tigh]] plotline: In the episode "[[Colonial Day]]", it is heavily implied that [[Ellen Tigh]] revealed the location of [[Valance]] to agents of [[Tom Zarek]], and that she intends for her husband, Colonel [[Saul Tigh]], to meet with Zarek's people in the near future. As of the start of the third season, this plotline has not been revisited and probably will never be in light of Ellen's death in "[[Exodus, Part II]]".<br /> *Zarek-[[Black market (organization)|black market]] plotline: Similarly, the end of "[[Black Market]]" implies that Zarek has assumed some measure of influence in that organization. This also has yet to be revisited.<br /> *[[Demand Peace]]: The pro-Cylon terrorist faction that sprung up in the fleet during "[[Epiphanies]]" has yet to resurface as well. The episode concluded without any firm resolution regarding the fate of the movement and its leader [[Royan Jahee]], however their base of operations, "[[Cloud 9]]", was destroyed by [[Gina]] in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]". The plotline of "Epiphanies" implies that the group is gearing up for a full-scale campaign against the Fleet's leadership, but they are never seen again and the fates of the group's members are not discussed later on.<br /> <br /> == Recasting ==<br /> *[[Zak Adama]]: In the [[Miniseries]], a different actor (or stand-in) is pictured as Zak Adama. In "[[Act of Contrition]]", a new actor portrays Zak, and the picture was changed to reflect the casting choice.<br /> *[[Ellen Tigh]]: Same with Zak Adama. The picture of Saul Tigh's wife, which Tigh has burned a hole through, was originally a picture of [[David Eick]]'s wife, Jennifer Berchfeild. When [[Kate Vernon]] was cast as Ellen in "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]", the image was changed.<br /> *[[Richard Adar]]: In the Miniseries he is [[:md:Image:Bsg-baltar-adar.jpg|portrayed]] by [[David Eick]] in a photograph in Baltar's domicile on Caprica. When Adar appears in person in "[[Epiphanies]]" he is played by [[Colm Feore]].<br /> *[[Carolanne Adama]] is portrayed by an uncredited actress during a cameo in "[[Act of Contrition]]". She is portrayed by [[Lucinda Jenney]] in the episode "[[A Day in the Life]]".<br /> <br /> == VFX Gaffes ==<br /> [[Image:1104reverse Scattered.JPG|thumb|left|Mirrored shot of Viper 1104 ([[Scattered]]).]]<br /> *[[Miniseries]]: No less than three copies of [[Viper 1104]] are present at the [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage]]. Of these, one is crash landed by Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace|Thrace]], one destroyed by Cylon fire, and one successfully landed on ''Galactica''.<br /> *[[Miniseries]] and "[[33]]": As ''Galactica'' prepares to jump to Ragnar Anchorage, the flight pods retract. As the ship jumps, the pods are not retracted. When ''Galactica'' has jumped to Ragnar Anchorage the pods are retracted again. This same footage is shown during the opening titles of "33".<br /> *"[[33]]": As the Cylon Centurion approaches Helo from behind, the rain is hitting it, but it does not drip off its body. In contrast, water is dripping from Helo's face in a fairly consistent and noticeable manner.<br /> *"[[You Can't Go Home Again]]": Before searching for Starbuck, [[Lee Adama|Apollo]] climbs into a Viper Mk VII, although he is shown piloting a Mk II in all other effects shots. However, his Mark VII is mentioned as being down for repairs at one point, implying that he flies it off screen.<br /> *"[[Season 1 (2004-05)|Amid Season 1]]": Half-way through Season 1, the ''[[Colonial One]]'' CG model was updated and the seal of the President of the Colonies was added to the hull. However, the reuse of stock footage from the Miniseries and earlier in the first season cause the seal to continually disappear and reappear in the same episode depending on what shot is used.<br /> *"[[Scattered]]": A shot of Viper 1104 is mirrored accidentally.<br /> *"[[Flight of the Phoenix]]"''':<br /> **Viper and [[List of pilots|pilot]] numbers: 42 Vipers are deployed at a time when no more than 34 could have been serviceable, and with no more than 25 pilots available.<br /> **[[Blackbird]]: As the [[Great Cylon Turkey Shoot]] begins, the Blackbird (still incomplete, untested, and missing its composite skin by this point) can be seen swooping across the screen in a manner inconsistent with its flight characteristics; the ship was built for speed, not maneuverability. The ship also fires what appears to be autocannons, although Blackbird is unarmed except in its [[Resurrection Ship, Part II|final mission]].<br /> *"[[The Captain's Hand]]": As Starbuck leads ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus's]]'' [[Viper Mark VII|Viper Mk VIIs]] into combat, a cockpit shot of her mistakenly shows [[Viper Mark II|Viper Mk IIs]] around her ship.<br /> *"[[Crossroads, Part II]]": Lee Adama's Viper Mark VII is identified as 2220NC, or [[Viper 2220 (Mark VII)|Viper 2220]]. However, [[Viper 2220]] has already been established as a Viper Mark II, not a Mark VII, which has seen multiple appearances as Adama's Viper throughout Season 1.<br /> <br /> ==Prop and Equipment Errors==<br /> [[Image:2276gaff Mini.JPG|thumb|Major Spencer in Viper 2276 ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br /> *[[Miniseries]]: <br /> **An [[wikipedia:F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16 Fighting Falcon]] is visible in a picture in Adama's quarters when he and Colonel Tigh discuss Starbuck striking Tigh. However, this could be a tribute, the F-16 is sometimes called "Viper" by its pilots.<br /> **The Viper Mk. VII flown by Major Spencer during the first sortie ([[Miniseries]]) is still marked as "Viper 2276NC" which is the Viper flown by Captain Lee Adama to ''Galactica''.<br /> **As [[Sharon Valerii|"Boomer" Valerii]] takes off from Caprica with the civilians in the [[Raptor]], just after [[Helo]] shoots the civilian who jumps on to the wing, the camera points to Boomer, where viewers can see in the window reflection the crane that is hoisting the Raptor mockup into the air.<br /> **As shown in a closeup of the pilot after giving [[Laura Roslin]] the [[Case Orange]] reply, the spaceline's name on the [[Colonial One captain]]'s uniform, "Eversun," is mismatched to the spaceline name used on ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'' itself: [[Intersun]].<br /> **When Starbuck's Viper is hit during the second sortie ("I'm all right"), her helmet is unsealed and open. <br /> **Similarly, Lee Adama's collar is opened when he scolds her for being "beyond insane" as Thrace pushing Adama's Viper into ''Galactica's'' [[flight pod]] at the end of the [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage]]. <br /> *"[[33]]":<br /> **When [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]] admits that she lost the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]'', her headset changes sides during the conversation.<br /> **As Helo fires upon the Cylon Centurion that survives the detonation of an anti-personnel mine (similar to a [[Wikipedia:Claymore mine|Claymore mine]]), the first time Helo fires the pistol, it is heard to fire, but there is no accompanying visual spark from the barrel. In contrast, the second shot is accompanied by both a spark and the appropriate sound.<br /> **After the disappearance of the ''Olympic Carrier'' in jump 238, with the timer running towards the 33 minute mark, the viewer can see that the clock is at 10 seconds. When focusing on Adama and Tigh, the viewer hears ten seconds counting off, but when the camera quick-pans to the overhead console, it reads that 3 seconds have passed.<br /> **Before the clock reaches zero in the pre-title sequence, a wide shot of [[CIC]] is shown with Adama and Tigh standing at the central console. The timer on the screen above their heads is flashing 00:00:00.<br /> *"[[Six Degrees of Separation]]": The special-effects group for the Re-imagined Series appear dedicated to creating computer screens, equipment and interfaces that are familiar to viewers, but aren't full counterparts to real-world Earth materials. However, the logo for NEC computer manufacturers can be seen on the monitors while [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]] is working on the photograph. A similar occurrence happens in "Sacrifice".<br /> *"[[Colonial Day]]": During the bar fight scene, [[Valance]]'s gun is shown with a silencer attached as it falls out of his briefcase, but the silencer is not present for the rest of the scene. The silencer is back when [[Valance]] is interrogated by Starbuck and Apollo.<br /> *"[[Valley of Darkness]]": [[Kat]] finds a box of explosive rounds with only 6 shells. The shells in the container start out scattered within the box, but as the camera cuts back and forth in the scene the shells switch from organized to scattered many times.<br /> *"[[Black Market]]": At around 42:55 in the episode, the [[w:John Fowles|John Fowles]] historical fiction/romance novel ''[[w:The French Lieutenant's Woman|The French Lieutenant's Woman]]'' appears on a shelf behind the couch in [[William Adama]]'s room, to [[Lee Adama]]'s left.<br /> *"[[Scar]]": <br /> **The little model plane on top of the "Top Gun" mug sported by Starbuck and Kat is actually an [[wikipedia:F/A-18 Hornet|F/A-18 Hornet]].<br /> **When getting intimate with Apollo, the bandage on Starbuck's back moves from one side to the other. Usually, such bandages are used to cover a tattoo of a crucifix on her shoulder.<br /> *"[[Sacrifice]]":<br /> **When Starbuck is getting the handguns out of her case, she still has the environmental engineer's hat on. When she quickly turns around with the guns and starts firing, her hat has disappeared without explanation.<br /> **A computer mouse (a design created by [[Wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]]) is seen connected to [[Sesha Abinell]]'s laptop computer.<br /> *"[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]": When the rescue mission returns from Caprica, [[Cavil]] (as well as probably Sharon Valerii and Karl Agathon) are carried by Raptor that is labeled with [[Racetrack]]'s name. However, Racetrack never made it to Caprica.<br /> *"[[Exodus, Part II]]": The [[DRADIS]] displays on ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'' are free of interference from the [[New Caprica]] nebula, even though it continued to be an obvious problem for both ships at the end of "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]".<br /> *"[[The Passage]]": [[Raymond Lai|Raymond "Raygun" Lai]]'s name appears on ''Galactica''’s flight roster. His name previously appeared on one of the 40 year-old Viper Mk. IIs in the ''Galactica'' museum during the [[Miniseries]].<br /> *"[[Razor]]":<br /> ** Early in the scenes with the search and rescue party in the [[Guardian basestar]], Kara Thrace can be seen with the [[Arts and Literature of the Twelve Colonies#Tattoos|tattoo]] she gets after marrying [[Samuel Anders]], an event that won't happen for months from the story's perspective. It is absent in later scenes.<br /> **[[Kendra Shaw]] has a band-aid on the end of her right index finger throughout the episode, in both the present and in the flashback scenes. However, it seems highly unlikely that she would either still be wearing it over the course of ten months or would coincidently have to apply another one on the same part of the same finger.<br /> * In several episodes characters wear the wrong [[Military Ranks (RDM)|rank insignia]]:<br /> ** "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]": [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] wears "lieutenant j.g." (short chevron) insignia in several scenes.<br /> ** "[[Fragged]]": [[Cally]] is wearing petty officer, 2nd class instead of crewman specialist insignia.<br /> ** "[[Home, Part I]]" and "[[Home, Part II]]": [[Lee Adama|Apollo]] wears major instead of captain insignia.<br /> ** "[[Scar]]": <br /> *** In the first scene in the recreation room Starbuck wears lieutenant insignia despite having been promoted to captain. <br /> *** Some of the [[nuggets]] have lieutenant insignia despite being addressed as ensigns. Apparently, the prop department had not produced the ensign insignias at that time.<br /> ** "[[The Captain's Hand]]": Apollo's insignia switch between captain and major at least once. Major is his correct rank at that time.<br /> **"[[Hero]]": In the flashback scenes in ''Valkyrie'''s CIC, Commander Adama is wearing admiral's insignia.<br /> **"[[Dirty Hands]]": Again, lt. j.g pins are used for the rank of ensign.<br /> <br /> <div style="clear: both;"></div><br /> <br /> ==Dialogue Errors==<br /> *[[Miniseries]]:<br /> **Tigh exclaims "Jesus!" when shown the photo of Adama, Zak and Lee. Ron Moore has stated that this was just an ad-lib by the actor, and was never in the script, and should have been removed during editing.<br /> ***This was removed from the "theatrical version" shown on [[Universal HD | UniversalHD]].<br /> **When being informed by Six of her true nature and mission, [[Gaius Baltar]] exclaims "Oh, my God!" as opposed to "Gods".<br /> **[[Jackson Spencer]] also makes this mistake after the Cylon Raiders launch missiles at his disabled squadron.<br /> **The pronunciation of Lt. [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]]'s name frequently shifts between ''GAY-ta'' and ''GUY-ta'' during the Miniseries. Colonel Tigh regularly calls him GUY-ta while Adama vacillates between GAY-ta and GUY-ta. From "33" onward he is referred to by everyone as GAY-ta.<br /> * "[[33]]": <br /> ** Helo states his rank as "lieutenant, junior grade" despite consistently wearing "lieutenant, senior grade" rank insignia.<br /> ** Later in the episode, when President Roslin and Dr. Baltar are discussing cutting off communications with the ''Olympic Carrier'', Baltar uses the term "radio" instead of the in-universe term of "wireless" during the conversation.<br /> *"[[Scattered]]": During the scene on Caprica, Helo exclaims "for God Sakes" instead of the Colonial "for Gods' Sakes" or Cylon "for God's Sake".<br /> *"[[Valley of Darkness]]': When [[Apollo]], [[Kat]] and others are going through the ship for weapons a [[centurion]] turns the corner and [[Kat]] says "Jesus"<br /> *"[[Downloaded]]": In the Miniseries, [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] claims that her parents died while she was very young, regarding the accident at [[Troy (RDM)|Troy]], which is later supported by dialogue in "[[Flesh and Bone]]". In "Downloaded" she explains that she received a gift from her mother when she left for the Fleet academy.<br /> *"[[Hero]]": The episode places the flashback events one year prior to the [[Cylon attack]]. However, this conflicts with earlier information that Adama served on ''Galactica'' for several years, Tyrol under him for at least five years and Gaeta for three years. For more details, see [[Hero#Analysis]].<br /> *"[[Unfinished Business]]": When Adama is down in his corner and bleeding badly, Roslin says "coagulant for the swelling, ice for the bleeding". This should be the other way around.<br /> <br /> ==Crew Visible==<br /> *A member of the production crew, possibly a boom operator, is visible on screen in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]". He can be seen behind the damaged wall behind the display of the [[Arrow of Apollo]].<br /> *In "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]" another camera operator can be briefly seen after the fight between Tyrol and Helo, as Tyrol walks to the Raptor to sit on its wing.<br /> <br /> <gallery><br /> Image:Gaffcrew klgpII.JPG|Crew member visible in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]".<br /> Image:PhoenixCrewVisible.jpg|Camerca crew in "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]".<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> [[Category:A to Z]]<br /> [[Category:Behind the Scenes]]<br /> [[Category:Lists]] <br /> [[Category:RDM]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Kontinuitätsfehler (RDM)]]</div>

This leaves her with an attitude that has at times thwarted her career advancement. However, thanks to [[William Adama]], Thrace's skills in battle have extended beyond the cockpit to greatly aid the Fleet.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:YoungKaraThrace.jpg|thumb|left|A young Kara Thrace in an hallucination ([[Maelstrom]]).]]<br /> *In an unhappy childhood, Thrace was so frequently beaten by her mother [[Socrata Thrace]], that she came to accept pain as a way of life ("[[Flesh and Bone]]", "[[Maelstrom]]").<br /> *Her father was a pianist ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> *Thrace left home to join the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|military]]. During her training, she received complaints about her conduct towards [[Mike Gibbons|superior officers]].<br /> *One of her first postings prior to being a flight instructor was aboard the battlestar ''[[Triton (RDM)|Triton]]''. While serving aboard, she exhibits one of the first known instances of offending high-ranking commissioned officers, namely one Commander [[Myron Ruth]] who opens court-martial proceedings against her. They are later dropped ([[The Son Also Rises]]).<br /> * She was a very talented [[pyramid]] player ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]), and received a scholarship to the Fleet Academy to play pyramid. During this time, she injured her knee and was no longer able to play pyramid at a professional level. During that time, however, she discovered a passion and skill at being a fighter pilot ([[Podcast:The Hand of God]]). On graduating from Colonial Flight School, she undertook a period of active duty before returning to flight school as an instructor. <br /> *Thrace fell in love with a young recruit, [[Zak Adama]]. Despite his mediocre performance, she passed him on his final flight examination, despite failing three of the required maneuvers ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br /> *Thrace's engagement to Zak Adama ends when he was killed during a routine mission shortly after graduating. At the time, [[Lee Adama]], Zak's elder brother, blamed their father for Zak Adama's death. In her guilt, Thrace did little to alter this idea. She did, however, meet [[William Adama]] shortly after the accident, and the two struck up such a strong rapport that they stood together at the funeral ([[Act of Contrition]]). <br /> *Thrace resigned from flight school as a instructor and transferred as an operational pilot to the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' under the command of William Adama, where she served for some two years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] on the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]]. Before the Cylon attack, she was second in command of the remaining pilots, subordinate to the [[CAG]], [[Jackson Spencer]]. <br /> *At the time of the Cylon attack she has an run-down apartment in [[Delphi]] that overlooks a parking lot and a Colonial version of a [[Wikipedia:Humvee|Humvee]] which she and Helo use to escape the city and get to the country where she meets her husband-to-be Anders. She rarely used the dilapidated apartment. She was also a very avid painter, and her apartment was cluttered with her paintings and a [[Starbuck's Poem|poem]] is written on a wall ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> *Despite her reckless approach to life, Thrace hides the fact that she is deeply spiritual. She frequently prays (or talks) to the [[Lords of Kobol]], particularly [[Aphrodite]] and [[Artemis]] in times of need ([[Miniseries]], "[[Flesh and Bone]]", "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]").<br /> <br /> ==Character History at a Glance==<br /> *Thrace's attitude quickly runs her afoul of Colonel [[Saul Tigh]], ''Galactica's'' [[Executive officer]]. Their open mutual dislike of one another leads to the point where blows are exchanged, with Thrace ending up in the brig. After the Cylon attack she is released from the brig and returns to duty as Viper pilot.<br /> *Thrace manages to keep two of three nuclear missiles from striking ''Galactica'' in their first Cylon sortie, and saves Captain Adama from doom in an innovative maneuver in the [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage]].<br /> *Her skills in saving Apollo brings her grudging respect from Colonel Tigh, but she is unable to accept his offer of the olive branch - an act that will have repercussions for her later ([[Miniseries]]).<br /> [[image:Bastille_Day-Starbuck_Boxey.jpg|thumb|left|[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] as acting [[CAG]] with [[Boxey (RDM)|Boxey]] as assistant ([[Bastille Day]]).]]<br /> *Thrace participates in a hostage rescue mission aboard the ''[[Astral Queen]]''. Following the successful mission, Thrace tries to mend fences between herself and Colonel Tigh with a toast (consisting of water), apologizing in much the same way as Tigh himself had tried after their initial escape from [[Ragnar Anchorage]]. But Tigh rejects Thrace's apology, stating that her flaws are professional, while his flaws were personal ([[Bastille Day]]). <br /> *Thrace eventually admits her secret about Zak Adama to William Adama himself, an act that brings their close friendship almost to the breaking point ([[Act of Contrition]]). <br /> *During a surprise encounter with Cylons during [[nugget]] training, Starbuck destroys several Cylon Raiders, but her ship is damaged and tumbles towards a small red moon with an unbreathable atmosphere. With her Viper in a fatal flat-spin, Starbuck is forced to eject from her Viper ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]).<br /> *Thrace (nursing a damaged knee) repairs the downed Cylon Raider found on the inhabitable moon and returns to ''Galactica'', giving the Fleet a vital piece of Cylon fighter technology for study and use.<br /> *The recovering Thrace, off flight status, is asked by Commander Adama to plan a special attack on a Cylon [[tylium]] refinery. The tactical planning role is not something she relishes, and she frequently shows resentment towards others for her condition ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]). <br /> *During Thrace's undesired interrogation of a Cylon prisoner, a copy of a known [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon]] named [[Leoben Conoy]], she uses some drastic acts to try to extract the information from the humanoid Cylon ([[Flesh and Bone]]).<br /> [[image:Starbuck-Kobols_Last_Gleaming_pt2.jpg|thumb|right|'''Starbuck''' retrieves the [[Arrow of Apollo]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]).]]<br /> *Thrace is assigned to plant a nuclear device on board a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] in orbit around [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]]. She disobeys orders to retrieve the [[Arrow of Apollo]] at the request of President Roslin, since she discovered Commander Adama's speech concerning knowledge of the location of Earth was a lie. She [[FTL|jump]]s to Caprica ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]), landing in [[Delphi]] in the captured Cylon [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]], depriving the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] of the valuable military asset.<br /> *In the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] with the Arrow, she is violently attacked by a copy of [[Number Six]]. Despite being heavily outmatched in the fight, Thrace luckily defeats the Cylon.<br /> *At the museum, she reunites with [[Karl Agathon|Helo]], whom she thought dead, and discovers a second copy of [[Sharon Valerii]], realizing instantly that the woman is a Cylon.<br /> *Valerii, fearing for her child, steals Thrace's Raider. In exasperation, Starbuck only mutters: "Bitch took my ride" ([[Scattered]]). Like Helo, Starbuck is left with no way to return to the Fleet unless she could find her Raider or another Cylon spacecraft, as only Cylon navigational computers are powerful enough to plot jumps over such large distances..<br /> *Starbuck berates Helo's love for the Caprica copy of Valerii. Thrace finds the keys of her surplus military utility vehicle in her old jacket in her old apartment. Thrace has a ride again, if only to move more efficiently about Caprica ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> [[Image:ThraceAndersResistance.jpg|thumb|right|Thrace and Anders playing Pyramid on Caprica ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).]]<br /> *Thrace and Helo meet a [[Caprica Resistance|resistance movement]] on Caprica. Thrace and [[Samuel Anders]] strike up a rapport as fellow [[Pyramid (RDM)|Pyramid]] players and end up as lovers.<br /> *During planning to steal a [[Heavy Raider]], Thrace is shot in a military action, waking up in a hospital on Caprica. Thrace is told by her doctor, [[Simon]], that Anders died from wounds he suffered in getting Thrace to safety.<br /> *Thrace discovers that Simon is working with a [[Number Six|known humanoid Cylon]]. She overhears that the next day he plans to extract her ovaries for use in the Cylon's attempts to study and create a hybrid Cylon/human embryo. Simon also makes the mistake of calling Thrace by her callsign, Starbuck, which she had never revealed.<br /> *Staggering and in pain, Thrace kills Simon and escapes the hospital, but not before clocking a Six copy with a fire extinguisher and destroying the local farm power supply, mercy-killing [[Sue-Shaun]] and several other women in the facility.<br /> *Another Simon copy appears just as the Resistance attacks the facility. The second Simon, now revealed as a humanoid Cylon himself, is immediately killed by the Resistance, but a squad of [[Cylon Centurion]]s appear and pins the Resistance down. Luckily, [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]] swoops in with a stolen [[Heavy Raider]], destroys the Centurions and flies the Resistance and Thrace out of harm's way.<br /> *Thrace promises to Anders that she'll [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I|return with a rescue mission]] for the remaining survivors. Anders returns the Arrow of Apollo to Thrace, which he hid on the resistance grounds for safekeeping ([[The Farm]]).<br /> *Thrace, Helo and the pregnant Valerii land on the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' in the Heavy Raider. Finding the [[Laura Roslin faction]] in orbit of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], Thrace is reunited with Lee Adama. He kisses her impulsively, catching Thrace by pleasant surprise, but a tense standoff follows when Adama discovers that another Valerii copy has returned with them. Roslin helps defuse the situation, and Thrace delivers the Arrow of Apollo to the President.<br /> *Temporarily removed from miltary protocol, Lee Adama playfully teases Thrace by stealing a pyramid ball she took from Caprica. Adama senses her depression about Caprica and tells her that he'd be happy to hear about any problems she had. He also let slip that he loved her, which brightened Thrace's mood to the point where she teased him back about his slip.<br /> *With a team led by Laura Roslin, Lee Adama, and, later, joined by the recovered Commander Adama, Thrace enters the [[Tomb of Athena]] and successfully uses the Arrow of Apollo to activate a hologram that shows constellations of the Twelve Colonies' ancient symbols.<br /> *Thrace realizes that they are on a recreation of Earth. Together with Lee Adama, they locate the Lagoon Nebula, a celestial body known to Commander Adama and Lee Adama, and gather sufficient information to begin an actual course to Earth ([[Home, Part II]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Starbuck.uniform.jpg|thumb|Thrace in dress uniform ([[Act of Contrition]]).]]<br /> <br /> *Thrace shows off the impressive stealth abilities of the new [[Blackbird]] fighter in her maiden flight ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]).<br /> *With the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', Admiral [[Helena Cain]] summarily assigns Thrace (and Lee Adama) to ''Pegasus'' after digesting the reports of ''Galactica'''s officers. <br /> *[[Cole Taylor|The ''Pegasus'' CAG]] removes Thrace from the Cylon recon mission. Lee Adama secretly tells her to use the [[Blackbird]] to take recon photos of the Cylon Unknown ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br /> *Returning from her very successful mission, the [[Blackbird]]'s lack of a Colonial transponder is mistaken for a Cylon [[Raider]] on [[DRADIS]], and Starbuck is nearly confronted and shot at by Vipers from ''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica''. After narrowly avoiding certain death by declaring herself a friendly, Thrace transmits her recon photos to ''Pegasus''.<br /> *Admiral Cain is very impressed with Starbuck's performance and promotes her to Captain and ''Pegasus'' CAG.<br /> *Thrace is assigned the task of planning the joint attack on the Resurrection Ship, but successfully asks to have Lee Adama on her team, restoring him to flight status.<br /> *After she briefs Cain and Commander Adama on her battle plan, Adama asks Thrace privately to assassinate Cain after the battle is complete. Adama fears that if Cain continues to command, the Fleet would be in mortal jeopardy from Cain's draconian command ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).<br /> *Thrace's battle planning, as before on the [[tylium]] [[The Hand of God (RDM)|mine]], works to near-perfection, with the Resurrection Ship destroyed and its supporting basestars.<br /> *As a result of the battle events, Thrace is left without backup as she walks to the ''Pegasus'' CIC to shoot Cain, obviously afraid and apprehensive. When Commander Adama calls, Thrace slowly moves her hand to her sidearm but, to her relief, Adama does not give the kill order and cryptically instructs her to stand down ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br /> *Starbuck and [[Kat]] are involved in the protection of a mining operation from periodic Raider attacks. One Raider, nicknamed [[Scar (Raider)|Scar]], fuels an intensive rivalry for the pilot's "top gun" honor. Thrace, still depressed over her inability to convince Fleet command to initiate a rescue for Samuel Anders and his resistance, drinks heavily and obsesses over removing Scar from the sky, even at the cost of her life. Fortunately, Starbuck realizes the futility of her actions, and works together with Kat to destroy the remarkably dangerous Raider ([[Scar]]).<br /> *A few weeks later, Thrace takes leave on ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' when she was dragooned into rescuing Lee Adama and several other ''Galactica'' crew and residents after terrorists take them hostage in exchange for the incarcerated [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]]. Thrace gathers intel on the situation, but her cover is blown. In the retreating firefight, Lee Adama is caught in the crossfire. After the situation is resolved, Thrace intended to sit at Adama's bedside, only to discover that Dualla beat her there ([[Sacrifice]]).<br /> *Later, Thrace is assigned to ''Pegasus'' as a flight trainer. Though the pilots like her, Commander [[Barry Garner]] does not, eventually confining her to quarters for "insubordination." Following the [[Battle of the Binary Star System|ill-fated rescue and retreat]] from a Cylon ambush (where Thrace leads the fighters), Thrace informs new ''Pegasus'' Commander Lee Adama that she was taking over his old CAG post aboard ''Galactica'' ([[The Captain's Hand]]).<br /> *Thrace gets her wish: The Caprica rescue is approved, and she leads a large Raptor squadron to the planet. The group soon met up with Anders, who reports that their HQ had been destroyed and Thrace's timing was just perfect. A squad of Centurions ambush and pin down the group moments later ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br /> *Still pinned down from attack fire, Starbuck and Anders agree to kill each other to avoid capture and internment at a [[Farms|farm]]. But the attack stops, and a [[Cavil|man]] appears, praising the [[Lords of Kobol|Gods]] as he announces that the Cylons not only have ceased fire, but are abandoning the Twelve Colonies. Starbuck isn't really surprised to discover that the man, known as Brother [[Cavil]], was a Cylon upon their return to the Fleet.<br /> *Starbuck and Anders proceed to get drunk, and host a disastrous visitation with Lee Adama. This apparently led to a rift between the two comrades. <br /> [[Image:Leobenkara.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Leoben with Kara Thrace ([[Exodus, Part I]]).]]<br /> *The evening of the founding of [[New Caprica]], Thrace slept with Lee Adama and proclaimed her love for him as she was uncertain regarding her feelings toward Anders. The following morning she quickly married Anders in a ceremonry near the river. This caused a rift between Kara and Lee that lasted for over a year.<br /> *Life on New Caprica tempered Thrace, and she often behaved in ways Starbuck never would have, including hugging Colonel Tigh and pampering Anders during his bout with an illness.<br /> *She watches in horror at the sudden arrival of hundreds of Cylon ships in the sky over New Caprica. A few of ''Galactica's'' former crew gather near Thrace, looking to her for guidance. Starbuck responds the only way she knows how: "Fight 'em until we can't" ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). <br /> *After Baltar's surrender of New Caprica, Conoy keeps Thrace prisoner in an apartment located within the Cylon-built [[New Caprica Detention Center]] in an attempt to convince Thrace that she loves him and also convert her to the [[Cylon Religion|Cylon monotheistic religion]]. She repeatedly kills Conoy a total of five times in an attempt to convince him to let her go ("[[Occupation]]", "[[Precipice]]").<br /> *Conoy introduces Thrace to a small child named [[Kacey]], who appears to be approximately two to three years in age, whom he claims is their biological daughter. He explains that the child was created using one of Thrace's extracted ovaries ([[The Farm]]) and his genetic material. Conflicted, Thrace leaves the child unattended, which later results in Kacey falling down the apartment's stairs ([[Precipice]]). After the fall, Thrace begins to change her attitude towards the child and begins to offer affection towards Conoy ("[[Precipice]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]").<br /> *Upon her return to ''Galactica'' after Admiral Adama's daring rescue attempt, Thrace heartbreakingly discovers that Kacey was simply another manipulation on Conoy's part &mdash; Kacey is merely a human child whom the Cylons had abducted months ago ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br /> *Bearing the psychological scars of her four month ordeal with Leoben and Kacey, Thrace is recruited by [[Seelix]] as a last minute replacement juror in the [[Circle]] after [[Samuel Anders]]' resignation. She is the fifth vote to find Gaeta of treason and collaboration. Thrace's involvement in the Circle precipitates the breakup of her marriage with Anders. Later, when Gaeta is about to be sentenced and executed in one of ''Galactica's'' [[launch tubes (RDM)|launch tubes]], she demands him to beg for his life. Thrace physically assaults him and goes down the litany of "lies" that Gaeta told her earlier about him helping the [[New Caprica Resistance|insurgency]]. As she does so, [[Galen Tyrol]], one of the Circle's jurors and the sixth vote to convict, overhears this and confirms the story. In a sense of confusion after learning that Gaeta was telling the truth, Thrace leaves the launch tube ([[Collaborators]]).<br /> *During a combat exercise between Vipers, Thrace breaks formation and collides with another pilot, forcing an end to the war games and causing Apollo to revoke her flight status. Later, at her bunk she is met by Kacey and her mother, whom she dismisses, telling Kacey's mother not to visit her again. In the pilots' rec room, Thrace and Colonel Tigh begin to sow dissent between the survivors of New Caprica and the crew that stayed behind on ''Galactica'', insinuating that those who stayed behind did not suffer like those on New Caprica did, and that the crew of ''Galactica'' took too long to organize a rescue. Admiral Adama, upon learning of this from [[Karl Agathon]], confronts Thrace and Tigh on their behavior. He challenges them to shoot him, as their constant complaining is tantamount to pulling the trigger. When neither do, Adama throws Thrace off her chair and demands that both she and Tigh shape up and move on with their lives. Spurred by Adama's words, Thrace cuts her hair and returns to duty. Later, in uniform, she visits Kacey and her mother on the [[Camp Oil Slick|converted hangar deck]] ([[Torn]]).<br /> *Thrace enters an illicit affair with Lee Adama, rekindling their romance on New Caprica ([[Unfinished Business]]). Both Anders and Adama's wife, Lieutenant [[Dualla]], are more than vaguely aware of the pair's sexual tension. Major Adama soon ends the affair and reconciles, but Thrace refuses to give Anders any further attention than a periodic sexual fling.<br /> *Starbuck is involved with the defense of the [[Temple of Five]] but is severely injured, leaving her rescuer, Dualla, to return them to ''Galactica'' ([[Rapture]]). Helo recognizes the strange circular [[Eye of Jupiter|mandala]] (created 4,000 years before) in the Temple and its resemblance to a symbol that Thrace painted in her apartment. When shown the symbol, the recovering Thrace is darkly reminded of Leoben's prophesy.<br /> *During refueling operations above a gas giant, Starbuck is continually attracted to what she believes is a Cylon contact, which she chases to find a planetary storm that resembles the mandala. She dives into it, almost losing control before coming to her senses and returning.<br /> *Command staff and Thrace question her competency to continue flying, but Major Adama volunteers encouragement and offers to fly as her wingman on her next [[CAP]].<br /> *Starbuck finds herself attracted by another apparent Cylon contact. As she descended, her Viper is struck by debris and she, while unconscious, experiences a revelation about her mother, [[Socrata Thrace]], and guided through the vision by what looks to be a Leoben copy.<br /> *Starbuck regains consciousness but chooses to continue her descent despite Apollo's desperate pleas to ascend. "I'll see you on the other side (...) Just let me go" were her last words as her Viper explodes. A grief-stricken Apollo tells [[CIC]] that he did not see any ejection ([[Maelstrom]]).<br /> *While preparing for a Cylon engagement near the [[Ionian nebula]], Apollo detects a bogey on [[DRADIS]]. While he searches for the target, Apollo finds himself momentarily in a cat-and-mouse chase game with the mysterious target. As Apollo attempts to regain a visual on the bogey, it positions itself next to his Viper.<br /> *The Viper Mark II that comes alongside is flown by Starbuck herself. A shocked and confused Apollo listens to the apparently-resurrected Kara Thrace, who tells him that she has been to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] and she has returned to take the Fleet to it ([[Crossroads, Part II]]).<br /> *{{spoilli|Thrace will return in [[Season 4]] and will try to lead the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], claiming that she has traveled there. She is taken as being a [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]] and isn't believed by the other Colonials. In a T.V. spot aired, she is pictured lying on the floor screaming: "We're going the wrong way!"}}<br /> <br /> ==The Destiny==<br /> {{mainarticle|The Destiny}}<br /> <br /> From early in her life, Kara Thrace has been guided through her mother's actions for a special role in life, a plot point that begins with a [[Leoben Conoy]] copy in the Season 1 episode, "[[Flesh and Bone]]". In "[[Maelstrom]]", the character dies, but reappears as a possible herald at the end of Season 3.<br /> <br /> A Cylon [[First Hybrid|Hybrid]], speaking to Major [[Kendra Shaw]] moments before their deaths, instructs Shaw to warn the humans not to follow Kara Thrace. She would lead the human race to its end, and is the herald of the apocalypse and the harbinger of death ([[Razor]]).<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *On the Sci-Fi Channel's preview for season 2.5 (US), Katee Sackoff is quoted as saying that Starbuck is "the best Viper pilot...EVER."<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Thrace|Thrace]] was a region in south-eastern Europe that was heavily influenced by the ancient Greeks and was eventually conquered by [[Wikipedia:Philip II of Macedonia|Phillip II of Macedonia]]. Thracians were considered by most to be the most ferocious fighters and were often highly paid mercenaries for Greek kings.<br /> *Thrace may have been named after [[w:Thrax (mythology)|Thrax]], the son of [[w:Ares|Ares]], the god of war, who was said to reside on the Thracian plain in Greek mythology.<br /> *After auditioning for the role of [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]], [[Grace Park]] was asked by director [[Michael Rymer]] to audition for the role of Starbuck, and she was actually one of two finalists up for the role (the other being Katee Sackhoff, who got the part). Ultimately Park was cast as [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]].<br /> *In a TV Guide [http://online.tvguide.com/newsearch/detail.aspx?id=4371595&sourcetype=S&progseriesparentid=4371595&tvobjectid=191395&keyword=Battlestar+Galactica&referrer=search1 photo shoot] at the BSG studios, Katee Sackhoff explained that the [[tattoo]] that Starbuck bears on her left arm is a wing and a circle and has half of the constellation of Capricorn (a reference to [[Caprica]] obviously) and a small symbol of the planet as well. It matches a mirror image of the tattoo on Anders' right arm. When the two of them hold each other with their respective arms crossing, the 2 tattoos come together to form an image of a single ring with 2 wings that is supposed to represent their union. According to Sackhoff, Kara and Anders had the tattoos done around the time of their wedding.<br /> *The license plate on Thrace's truck on Caprica is "FB 42 E3" ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> *In a [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07085/770732-352.stm ''Post-Gazette Journal'' interview], [[Ronald D.

This leaves her with an attitude that has at times thwarted her career advancement. However, thanks to [[William Adama]], Thrace's skills in battle have extended beyond the cockpit to greatly aid the Fleet.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:YoungKaraThrace.jpg|thumb|left|A young Kara Thrace in an hallucination ([[Maelstrom]]).]]<br /> *In an unhappy childhood, Thrace was so frequently beaten by her mother [[Socrata Thrace]], that she came to accept pain as a way of life ("[[Flesh and Bone]]", "[[Maelstrom]]").<br /> *Her father was a pianist ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> *Thrace left home to join the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|military]]. During her training, she received complaints about her conduct towards [[Mike Gibbons|superior officers]].<br /> *One of her first postings prior to being a flight instructor was aboard the battlestar ''[[Triton (RDM)|Triton]]''. While serving aboard, she exhibits one of the first known instances of offending high-ranking commissioned officers, namely one Commander [[Myron Ruth]] who opens court-martial proceedings against her. They are later dropped ([[The Son Also Rises]]).<br /> * She was a very talented [[pyramid]] player ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]), and received a scholarship to the Fleet Academy to play pyramid. During this time, she injured her knee and was no longer able to play pyramid at a professional level. During that time, however, she discovered a passion and skill at being a fighter pilot ([[Podcast:The Hand of God]]). On graduating from Colonial Flight School, she undertook a period of active duty before returning to flight school as an instructor. <br /> *Thrace fell in love with a young recruit, [[Zak Adama]]. Despite his mediocre performance, she passed him on his final flight examination, despite failing three of the required maneuvers ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br /> *Thrace's engagement to Zak Adama ends when he was killed during a routine mission shortly after graduating. At the time, [[Lee Adama]], Zak's elder brother, blamed their father for Zak Adama's death. In her guilt, Thrace did little to alter this idea. She did, however, meet [[William Adama]] shortly after the accident, and the two struck up such a strong rapport that they stood together at the funeral ([[Act of Contrition]]). <br /> *Thrace resigned from flight school as a instructor and transferred as an operational pilot to the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'' under the command of William Adama, where she served for some two years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] on the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]]. Before the Cylon attack, she was second in command of the remaining pilots, subordinate to the [[CAG]], [[Jackson Spencer]]. <br /> *At the time of the Cylon attack she has an run-down apartment in [[Delphi]] that overlooks a parking lot and a Colonial version of a [[Wikipedia:Humvee|Humvee]] which she and Helo use to escape the city and get to the country where she meets her husband-to-be Anders. She rarely used the dilapidated apartment. She was also a very avid painter, and her apartment was cluttered with her paintings and a [[Starbuck's Poem|poem]] is written on a wall ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> *Despite her reckless approach to life, Thrace hides the fact that she is deeply spiritual. She frequently prays (or talks) to the [[Lords of Kobol]], particularly [[Aphrodite]] and [[Artemis]] in times of need ([[Miniseries]], "[[Flesh and Bone]]", "[[You Can't Go Home Again]]").<br /> <br /> ==Character History at a Glance==<br /> *Thrace's attitude quickly runs her afoul of Colonel [[Saul Tigh]], ''Galactica's'' [[Executive officer]]. Their open mutual dislike of one another leads to the point where blows are exchanged, with Thrace ending up in the brig. After the Cylon attack she is released from the brig and returns to duty as Viper pilot.<br /> *Thrace manages to keep two of three nuclear missiles from striking ''Galactica'' in their first Cylon sortie, and saves Captain Adama from doom in an innovative maneuver in the [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage]].<br /> *Her skills in saving Apollo brings her grudging respect from Colonel Tigh, but she is unable to accept his offer of the olive branch - an act that will have repercussions for her later ([[Miniseries]]).<br /> [[image:Bastille_Day-Starbuck_Boxey.jpg|thumb|left|[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] as acting [[CAG]] with [[Boxey (RDM)|Boxey]] as assistant ([[Bastille Day]]).]]<br /> *Thrace participates in a hostage rescue mission aboard the ''[[Astral Queen]]''. Following the successful mission, Thrace tries to mend fences between herself and Colonel Tigh with a toast (consisting of water), apologizing in much the same way as Tigh himself had tried after their initial escape from [[Ragnar Anchorage]]. But Tigh rejects Thrace's apology, stating that her flaws are professional, while his flaws were personal ([[Bastille Day]]). <br /> *Thrace eventually admits her secret about Zak Adama to William Adama himself, an act that brings their close friendship almost to the breaking point ([[Act of Contrition]]). <br /> *During a surprise encounter with Cylons during [[nugget]] training, Starbuck destroys several Cylon Raiders, but her ship is damaged and tumbles towards a small red moon with an unbreathable atmosphere. With her Viper in a fatal flat-spin, Starbuck is forced to eject from her Viper ([[You Can't Go Home Again]]).<br /> *Thrace (nursing a damaged knee) repairs the downed Cylon Raider found on the inhabitable moon and returns to ''Galactica'', giving the Fleet a vital piece of Cylon fighter technology for study and use.<br /> *The recovering Thrace, off flight status, is asked by Commander Adama to plan a special attack on a Cylon [[tylium]] refinery. The tactical planning role is not something she relishes, and she frequently shows resentment towards others for her condition ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]). <br /> *During Thrace's undesired interrogation of a Cylon prisoner, a copy of a known [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon]] named [[Leoben Conoy]], she uses some drastic acts to try to extract the information from the humanoid Cylon ([[Flesh and Bone]]).<br /> [[image:Starbuck-Kobols_Last_Gleaming_pt2.jpg|thumb|right|'''Starbuck''' retrieves the [[Arrow of Apollo]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]).]]<br /> *Thrace is assigned to plant a nuclear device on board a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] in orbit around [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]]. She disobeys orders to retrieve the [[Arrow of Apollo]] at the request of President Roslin, since she discovered Commander Adama's speech concerning knowledge of the location of Earth was a lie. She [[FTL|jump]]s to Caprica ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]), landing in [[Delphi]] in the captured Cylon [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]], depriving the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] of the valuable military asset.<br /> *In the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] with the Arrow, she is violently attacked by a copy of [[Number Six]]. Despite being heavily outmatched in the fight, Thrace luckily defeats the Cylon.<br /> *At the museum, she reunites with [[Karl Agathon|Helo]], whom she thought dead, and discovers a second copy of [[Sharon Valerii]], realizing instantly that the woman is a Cylon.<br /> *Valerii, fearing for her child, steals Thrace's Raider. In exasperation, Starbuck only mutters: "Bitch took my ride" ([[Scattered]]). Like Helo, Starbuck is left with no way to return to the Fleet unless she could find her Raider or another Cylon spacecraft, as only Cylon navigational computers are powerful enough to plot jumps over such large distances..<br /> *Starbuck berates Helo's love for the Caprica copy of Valerii. Thrace finds the keys of her surplus military utility vehicle in her old jacket in her old apartment. Thrace has a ride again, if only to move more efficiently about Caprica ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> [[Image:ThraceAndersResistance.jpg|thumb|right|Thrace and Anders playing Pyramid on Caprica ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).]]<br /> *Thrace and Helo meet a [[Caprica Resistance|resistance movement]] on Caprica. Thrace and [[Samuel Anders]] strike up a rapport as fellow [[Pyramid (RDM)|Pyramid]] players and end up as lovers.<br /> *During planning to steal a [[Heavy Raider]], Thrace is shot in a military action, waking up in a hospital on Caprica. Thrace is told by her doctor, [[Simon]], that Anders died from wounds he suffered in getting Thrace to safety.<br /> *Thrace discovers that Simon is working with a [[Number Six|known humanoid Cylon]]. She overhears that the next day he plans to extract her ovaries for use in the Cylon's attempts to study and create a hybrid Cylon/human embryo. Simon also makes the mistake of calling Thrace by her callsign, Starbuck, which she had never revealed.<br /> *Staggering and in pain, Thrace kills Simon and escapes the hospital, but not before clocking a Six copy with a fire extinguisher and destroying the local farm power supply, mercy-killing [[Sue-Shaun]] and several other women in the facility.<br /> *Another Simon copy appears just as the Resistance attacks the facility. The second Simon, now revealed as a humanoid Cylon himself, is immediately killed by the Resistance, but a squad of [[Cylon Centurion]]s appear and pins the Resistance down. Luckily, [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Valerii]] swoops in with a stolen [[Heavy Raider]], destroys the Centurions and flies the Resistance and Thrace out of harm's way.<br /> *Thrace promises to Anders that she'll [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I|return with a rescue mission]] for the remaining survivors. Anders returns the Arrow of Apollo to Thrace, which he hid on the resistance grounds for safekeeping ([[The Farm]]).<br /> *Thrace, Helo and the pregnant Valerii land on the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' in the Heavy Raider. Finding the [[Laura Roslin faction]] in orbit of [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]], Thrace is reunited with Lee Adama. He kisses her impulsively, catching Thrace by pleasant surprise, but a tense standoff follows when Adama discovers that another Valerii copy has returned with them. Roslin helps defuse the situation, and Thrace delivers the Arrow of Apollo to the President.<br /> *Temporarily removed from miltary protocol, Lee Adama playfully teases Thrace by stealing a pyramid ball she took from Caprica. Adama senses her depression about Caprica and tells her that he'd be happy to hear about any problems she had. He also let slip that he loved her, which brightened Thrace's mood to the point where she teased him back about his slip.<br /> *With a team led by Laura Roslin, Lee Adama, and, later, joined by the recovered Commander Adama, Thrace enters the [[Tomb of Athena]] and successfully uses the Arrow of Apollo to activate a hologram that shows constellations of the Twelve Colonies' ancient symbols.<br /> *Thrace realizes that they are on a recreation of Earth. Together with Lee Adama, they locate the Lagoon Nebula, a celestial body known to Commander Adama and Lee Adama, and gather sufficient information to begin an actual course to Earth ([[Home, Part II]]).<br /> <br /> [[Image:Starbuck.uniform.jpg|thumb|Thrace in dress uniform ([[Act of Contrition]]).]]<br /> <br /> *Thrace shows off the impressive stealth abilities of the new [[Blackbird]] fighter in her maiden flight ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]).<br /> *With the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', Admiral [[Helena Cain]] summarily assigns Thrace (and Lee Adama) to ''Pegasus'' after digesting the reports of ''Galactica'''s officers. <br /> *[[Cole Taylor|The ''Pegasus'' CAG]] removes Thrace from the Cylon recon mission. Lee Adama secretly tells her to use the [[Blackbird]] to take recon photos of the Cylon Unknown ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br /> *Returning from her very successful mission, the [[Blackbird]]'s lack of a Colonial transponder is mistaken for a Cylon [[Raider]] on [[DRADIS]], and Starbuck is nearly confronted and shot at by Vipers from ''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica''. After narrowly avoiding certain death by declaring herself a friendly, Thrace transmits her recon photos to ''Pegasus''.<br /> *Admiral Cain is very impressed with Starbuck's performance and promotes her to Captain and ''Pegasus'' CAG.<br /> *Thrace is assigned the task of planning the joint attack on the Resurrection Ship, but successfully asks to have Lee Adama on her team, restoring him to flight status.<br /> *After she briefs Cain and Commander Adama on her battle plan, Adama asks Thrace privately to assassinate Cain after the battle is complete. Adama fears that if Cain continues to command, the Fleet would be in mortal jeopardy from Cain's draconian command ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).<br /> *Thrace's battle planning, as before on the [[tylium]] [[The Hand of God (RDM)|mine]], works to near-perfection, with the Resurrection Ship destroyed and its supporting basestars.<br /> *As a result of the battle events, Thrace is left without backup as she walks to the ''Pegasus'' CIC to shoot Cain, obviously afraid and apprehensive. When Commander Adama calls, Thrace slowly moves her hand to her sidearm but, to her relief, Adama does not give the kill order and cryptically instructs her to stand down ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br /> *Starbuck and [[Kat]] are involved in the protection of a mining operation from periodic Raider attacks. One Raider, nicknamed [[Scar (Raider)|Scar]], fuels an intensive rivalry for the pilot's "top gun" honor. Thrace, still depressed over her inability to convince Fleet command to initiate a rescue for Samuel Anders and his resistance, drinks heavily and obsesses over removing Scar from the sky, even at the cost of her life. Fortunately, Starbuck realizes the futility of her actions, and works together with Kat to destroy the remarkably dangerous Raider ([[Scar]]).<br /> *A few weeks later, Thrace takes leave on ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' when she was dragooned into rescuing Lee Adama and several other ''Galactica'' crew and residents after terrorists take them hostage in exchange for the incarcerated [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]]. Thrace gathers intel on the situation, but her cover is blown. In the retreating firefight, Lee Adama is caught in the crossfire. After the situation is resolved, Thrace intended to sit at Adama's bedside, only to discover that Dualla beat her there ([[Sacrifice]]).<br /> *Later, Thrace is assigned to ''Pegasus'' as a flight trainer. Though the pilots like her, Commander [[Barry Garner]] does not, eventually confining her to quarters for "insubordination." Following the [[Battle of the Binary Star System|ill-fated rescue and retreat]] from a Cylon ambush (where Thrace leads the fighters), Thrace informs new ''Pegasus'' Commander Lee Adama that she was taking over his old CAG post aboard ''Galactica'' ([[The Captain's Hand]]).<br /> *Thrace gets her wish: The Caprica rescue is approved, and she leads a large Raptor squadron to the planet. The group soon met up with Anders, who reports that their HQ had been destroyed and Thrace's timing was just perfect. A squad of Centurions ambush and pin down the group moments later ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br /> *Still pinned down from attack fire, Starbuck and Anders agree to kill each other to avoid capture and internment at a [[Farms|farm]]. But the attack stops, and a [[Cavil|man]] appears, praising the [[Lords of Kobol|Gods]] as he announces that the Cylons not only have ceased fire, but are abandoning the Twelve Colonies. Starbuck isn't really surprised to discover that the man, known as Brother [[Cavil]], was a Cylon upon their return to the Fleet.<br /> *Starbuck and Anders proceed to get drunk, and host a disastrous visitation with Lee Adama. This apparently led to a rift between the two comrades. <br /> [[Image:Leobenkara.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Leoben with Kara Thrace ([[Exodus, Part I]]).]]<br /> *The evening of the founding of [[New Caprica]], Thrace slept with Lee Adama and proclaimed her love for him as she was uncertain regarding her feelings toward Anders. The following morning she quickly married Anders in a ceremonry near the river. This caused a rift between Kara and Lee that lasted for over a year.<br /> *Life on New Caprica tempered Thrace, and she often behaved in ways Starbuck never would have, including hugging Colonel Tigh and pampering Anders during his bout with an illness.<br /> *She watches in horror at the sudden arrival of hundreds of Cylon ships in the sky over New Caprica. A few of ''Galactica's'' former crew gather near Thrace, looking to her for guidance. Starbuck responds the only way she knows how: "Fight 'em until we can't" ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). <br /> *After Baltar's surrender of New Caprica, Conoy keeps Thrace prisoner in an apartment located within the Cylon-built [[New Caprica Detention Center]] in an attempt to convince Thrace that she loves him and also convert her to the [[Cylon Religion|Cylon monotheistic religion]]. She repeatedly kills Conoy a total of five times in an attempt to convince him to let her go ("[[Occupation]]", "[[Precipice]]").<br /> *Conoy introduces Thrace to a small child named [[Kacey]], who appears to be approximately two to three years in age, whom he claims is their biological daughter. He explains that the child was created using one of Thrace's extracted ovaries ([[The Farm]]) and his genetic material. Conflicted, Thrace leaves the child unattended, which later results in Kacey falling down the apartment's stairs ([[Precipice]]). After the fall, Thrace begins to change her attitude towards the child and begins to offer affection towards Conoy ("[[Precipice]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]").<br /> *Upon her return to ''Galactica'' after Admiral Adama's daring rescue attempt, Thrace heartbreakingly discovers that Kacey was simply another manipulation on Conoy's part &mdash; Kacey is merely a human child whom the Cylons had abducted months ago ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br /> *Bearing the psychological scars of her four month ordeal with Leoben and Kacey, Thrace is recruited by [[Seelix]] as a last minute replacement juror in the [[Circle]] after [[Samuel Anders]]' resignation. She is the fifth vote to find Gaeta of treason and collaboration. Thrace's involvement in the Circle precipitates the breakup of her marriage with Anders. Later, when Gaeta is about to be sentenced and executed in one of ''Galactica's'' [[launch tubes (RDM)|launch tubes]], she demands him to beg for his life. Thrace physically assaults him and goes down the litany of "lies" that Gaeta told her earlier about him helping the [[New Caprica Resistance|insurgency]]. As she does so, [[Galen Tyrol]], one of the Circle's jurors and the sixth vote to convict, overhears this and confirms the story. In a sense of confusion after learning that Gaeta was telling the truth, Thrace leaves the launch tube ([[Collaborators]]).<br /> *During a combat exercise between Vipers, Thrace breaks formation and collides with another pilot, forcing an end to the war games and causing Apollo to revoke her flight status. Later, at her bunk she is met by Kacey and her mother, whom she dismisses, telling Kacey's mother not to visit her again. In the pilots' rec room, Thrace and Colonel Tigh begin to sow dissent between the survivors of New Caprica and the crew that stayed behind on ''Galactica'', insinuating that those who stayed behind did not suffer like those on New Caprica did, and that the crew of ''Galactica'' took too long to organize a rescue. Admiral Adama, upon learning of this from [[Karl Agathon]], confronts Thrace and Tigh on their behavior. He challenges them to shoot him, as their constant complaining is tantamount to pulling the trigger. When neither do, Adama throws Thrace off her chair and demands that both she and Tigh shape up and move on with their lives. Spurred by Adama's words, Thrace cuts her hair and returns to duty. Later, in uniform, she visits Kacey and her mother on the [[Camp Oil Slick|converted hangar deck]] ([[Torn]]).<br /> *Thrace enters an illicit affair with Lee Adama, rekindling their romance on New Caprica ([[Unfinished Business]]). Both Anders and Adama's wife, Lieutenant [[Dualla]], are more than vaguely aware of the pair's sexual tension. Major Adama soon ends the affair and reconciles, but Thrace refuses to give Anders any further attention than a periodic sexual fling.<br /> *Starbuck is involved with the defense of the [[Temple of Five]] but is severely injured, leaving her rescuer, Dualla, to return them to ''Galactica'' ([[Rapture]]). Helo recognizes the strange circular [[Eye of Jupiter|mandala]] (created 4,000 years before) in the Temple and its resemblance to a symbol that Thrace painted in her apartment. When shown the symbol, the recovering Thrace is darkly reminded of Leoben's prophesy.<br /> *During refueling operations above a gas giant, Starbuck is continually attracted to what she believes is a Cylon contact, which she chases to find a planetary storm that resembles the mandala. She dives into it, almost losing control before coming to her senses and returning.<br /> *Command staff and Thrace question her competency to continue flying, but Major Adama volunteers encouragement and offers to fly as her wingman on her next [[CAP]].<br /> *Starbuck finds herself attracted by another apparent Cylon contact. As she descended, her Viper is struck by debris and she, while unconscious, experiences a revelation about her mother, [[Socrata Thrace]], and guided through the vision by what looks to be a Leoben copy.<br /> *Starbuck regains consciousness but chooses to continue her descent despite Apollo's desperate pleas to ascend. "I'll see you on the other side (...) Just let me go" were her last words as her Viper explodes. A grief-stricken Apollo tells [[CIC]] that he did not see any ejection ([[Maelstrom]]).<br /> *While preparing for a Cylon engagement near the [[Ionian nebula]], Apollo detects a bogey on [[DRADIS]]. While he searches for the target, Apollo finds himself momentarily in a cat-and-mouse chase game with the mysterious target. As Apollo attempts to regain a visual on the bogey, it positions itself next to his Viper.<br /> *The Viper Mark II that comes alongside is flown by Starbuck herself.

She is taken as being a [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]] and isn't believed by the other Colonials. In a T.V. spot aired, she is pictured lying on the floor screaming: "We're going the wrong way!"}}<br /> <br /> ==The Destiny==<br /> {{mainarticle|The Destiny}}<br /> <br /> From early in her life, Kara Thrace has been guided through her mother's actions for a special role in life, a plot point that begins with a [[Leoben Conoy]] copy in the Season 1 episode, "[[Flesh and Bone]]". In "[[Maelstrom]]", the character dies, but reappears as a possible herald at the end of Season 3.<br /> <br /> A Cylon [[First Hybrid|Hybrid]], speaking to Major [[Kendra Shaw]] moments before their deaths, instructs Shaw to warn the humans not to follow Kara Thrace. She would lead the human race to its end, and is the herald of the apocalypse and the harbinger of death ([[Razor]]).<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *On the Sci-Fi Channel's preview for season 2.5 (US), Katee Sackoff is quoted as saying that Starbuck is "the best Viper pilot...EVER."<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Thrace|Thrace]] was a region in south-eastern Europe that was heavily influenced by the ancient Greeks and was eventually conquered by [[Wikipedia:Philip II of Macedonia|Phillip II of Macedonia]]. Thracians were considered by most to be the most ferocious fighters and were often highly paid mercenaries for Greek kings.<br /> *Thrace may have been named after [[w:Thrax (mythology)|Thrax]], the son of [[w:Ares|Ares]], the god of war, who was said to reside on the Thracian plain in Greek mythology.<br /> *After auditioning for the role of [[Anastasia Dualla|Dualla]], [[Grace Park]] was asked by director [[Michael Rymer]] to audition for the role of Starbuck, and she was actually one of two finalists up for the role (the other being Katee Sackhoff, who got the part). Ultimately Park was cast as [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]].<br /> *In a TV Guide [http://online.tvguide.com/newsearch/detail.aspx?id=4371595&sourcetype=S&progseriesparentid=4371595&tvobjectid=191395&keyword=Battlestar+Galactica&referrer=search1 photo shoot] at the BSG studios, Katee Sackhoff explained that the [[tattoo]] that Starbuck bears on her left arm is a wing and a circle and has half of the constellation of Capricorn (a reference to [[Caprica]] obviously) and a small symbol of the planet as well. It matches a mirror image of the tattoo on Anders' right arm. When the two of them hold each other with their respective arms crossing, the 2 tattoos come together to form an image of a single ring with 2 wings that is supposed to represent their union. According to Sackhoff, Kara and Anders had the tattoos done around the time of their wedding.<br /> *The license plate on Thrace's truck on Caprica is "FB 42 E3" ([[Valley of Darkness]]).<br /> *In a [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07085/770732-352.stm ''Post-Gazette Journal'' interview], [[Ronald D.

<p>Pegasus62: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Cast Data<br /> | image= Katee Sackhoff.jpg<br /> | character= [[Kara Thrace]]<br /> | born_month= 04<br /> | born_day= 08<br /> | born_year= 1980<br /> | death_month= <br /> | death_day= <br /> | death_year= <br /> | nationality= US<br /> | imdb= 0755267<br /> }}<br /> <br /> '''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]].<br /> <br /> == Biographical Notes ==<br /> <br /> Sackhoff 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.<br /> <br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> 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]]''. <br /> <br /> 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 NBC series ''[[w:Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)|Bionic Woman]]'' in which she plays the villain Sarah Corvus.<br /> <br /> According to Ron Moore and David Eick, in the podcast for "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", Sackhoff is ''no longer'' dating a tackle from the Kansas City Chiefs.<br /> <br /> Interesting facts about Katee Sackhoff:<br/><br /> 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]]. Sackhoff decided to quit smoking when she recived fan mail from young girls saying they want to be like "Starbuck" when they grew up. <br /> == Tattoos ==<br /> <br /> Sackhoff has three known tattoos. She has a crucifix tattoo on her left shoulder blade. As Christianity is not practiced in the ''Battlestar Galactica'' universe, it is covered up in the show by bandages in scenes when her skin is 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.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Bonafiscalia.JPG|thumb|right|Katee's tattoo on her right arm|thumb]]<br /> She also has a tattoo of the Japanese character for "choice" on the back of her neck. In Season 1, 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 is nonetheless visible.<br /> <br /> Her 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 her tuck her arm slightly behind her back in wide-shots, but it is still visible on many occasions, and over time, they gave up trying to hide it.<br /> <br /> [[Category:A to Z|Sackhoff, Katee]]<br /> [[Category:Cast|Sackhoff, Katee]]<br /> [[Category:Cast (RDM)|Sackhoff, Katee]]<br /> [[Category:RDM|Sackhoff, Katee]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Katee Sackhoff]]</div>
