"Hard Eight" is a moniker for one of Number Eight copies first encountered by Felix Gaeta circa 3 ACH (2002BYR).

A pilot who is part of the separatist group from the rebel basestar, she is one of two copies, the other being a fellow sister dubbed "Sweet Eight," who board Raptor 718 to Zephyr following the discovering the Thirteenth Colony ^{(TRS: "The Face of the Enemy, Episode 1")}.

During a freak FTL drive corruption that lead to Jumping to the wrong standby coordinates, Hard Eight makes a quip about Deckhand Brooks' Poseidon medallion after discovering that their oxygen supply was limited ^{(TRS: "The Face of the Enemy, Episode 2")}. She later takes a pair of his pliers during his attempt to fix a loose connection believed to cause issues with the carbon dioxide scrubbers onboard. Unbeknownst to her, the insulating grips were removed by her sister, who intended to have Brooks killed via electrocution of the live panel, and she is subsequently killed ^{(TRS: "The Face of the Enemy, Episode 3" and "The Face of the Enemy, Episode 4")}.

In order to prolong the scrubber's ability to clean the air, her body is jettisoned into space ^{(TRS: "The Face of the Enemy, Episode 5")}.

Notes

The moniker is provided from both the script and Jane Espenson's own commentaries and interviews.
