Socrata Thrace

The mother of Kara Thrace has been described as a member of the Colonial Fleet. The character is noted to have physically abused her daughter while a child, long ago.

A Leoben Conoy copy says this about the woman to her daughter:

You were born to a woman who believes that suffering was good for the soul, so you suffered. Life is a testament to pain, injuries, accidents. Some inflicted upon others, some inflicted upon yourself. Surrounds you like a bubble but it's not... real it's just-- that's just something she put into your head. It's something that you wanna believe 'cause it means that you're the problem, not the world that you live in. You wanna believe it because... it means that you're bad luck. Like a cancer that needs to be removed. Because you hear her voice every day and you want her to be right (Flesh and Bone).

A Simon copy notes that Kara Thrace's hands showed indications of broken bones, implying that the future Viper pilot endured abuse as a child (The Farm).
