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.
