Caprica Buccaneers: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:05, 14 March 2009

The Caprica Buccaneers are a pyramid team from Caprica, captained by Samuel T. Anders.

According to the Buccaneers, they are undertaking high-altitude training in the mountains at the time of the Cylon nuclear bombardment of the colony. Shielded from the shockwaves and a bulk of the nuclear fallout, they manage to round up hikers and other survivors camping in the mountains into a sizable resistance force. From there, they siege supply depots, hospitals (for anti-radiation meds) and destroy Cylon convoys (Resistance).

The Buccaneers' team roster consisted of Anders, "Jo-Man", "Rally", "Ten Point", Sue-Shaun, "Crip-key" and Morris Fink (Resistance).

With her comments, Kara Thrace—who mentions to Anders later on that a "bum knee" robbed her of a professional pyramid career—either was not a fan of the team, or was a sharp critic. While questioning Anders' legitimacy at gunpoint, she demands that he tell her how many "foul breaks" the Buccaneers had in the playoff against Aerelon. Anders tells Thrace that one foul break was called back, after instant replay, suggesting a parallel to the National Football League, cricket, and other major sporting leagues, in which officials may review replays after a play before making a final decision (Resistance). Despite Anders' popularity and skill, the Buccaneers never won a championship while under his lead (Daybreak, Part I).

Notes

The team's nickname may be a reference to the 2003 Super Bowl champion, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football League.
The team is often referred to as the "C-Bucs" for short.
