In creating his mock trailer for his continuation project, Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming, Original Series actor Richard Hatch created an upgraded Viper for the project, known as the Scarlet Viper or the Scarlet-class Viper.
A CGI artist, Steve Parady, met with Hatch, who was pleased by the conceptual drawing that Parady created. The design for the fighter was inspired by the X-29 test fighter's swept forward wings.
The design was seen in the completed mock trailer.
Book appearance
The Scarlet-class Viper, or simply Scarlet Viper, is introduced in Hatch's first novel, "Armageddon". It is said to be a successor to the Azure-class Viper, itself a successor of the original Viper seen in the Original Series.[1]
The difference between this and the original Viper include a scanner that creates a "laser-constructed three-dimensional image" of destinations[2], in addition to improved systems and weapons.
