Various Continuities

Berkley Novelizations

In the novelization of Saga of a Star World, in the casino when Cassiopeia storms away from Starbuck, Athena angrily hands him the room key and leaves as well. Later, Athena regrets not having stayed with Starbuck. She believes she could have made him forget about Cassiopeia. During the mass exodus from the surface of Caprica, Starbuck and Cassiopea pilot a shuttle filled with highly volatile Tylium. They barely evade the attacking Cylons and return to the Galactica.

In The Tombs of Kobol novelization, when Starbuck is captured and taken aboard the Cylon basestar, he teaches Lucifer how to play Pyramid and beats him at the card game. Lucifer takes a liking to Starbuck.

In The Long Patrol novelization, the Robber that Starbuck meets is a woman. She later joins the Galactica and changes her name to Roberta. In the book's final scene, Starbuck takes Roberta out to the Rising Star and meets the same waiter again. Athena and Cassiopea are in a booth next to where their reserved table is, so Starbuck has the waiter take them to another area.

In the 12th novel The Nightmare Machine, the Cylons sneak a device aboard the Galactica that causes everyone to feel enormous guilt. Starbuck is affected the worst and feels terrible about how he's treated women. Eventually, he is almost driven insane and nearly tries to kill Greenbean.

In the 13th novel Die, Chameleon!, after Chameleon is captured by alien smugglers, Cassiopeia tells Starbuck that Chameleon is his father. Starbuck is later captured by the same aliens and although he manages to break free, Chameleon is taken hostage by one of the aliens who takes off in a spacecraft. Chameleon eventually gets free and takes off in a spaceship, but he has no idea what heading will take him back to the Galactica.

In the fan fiction series of novels known as the Pegasus Chronicles, Starbuck and Athena are inadvertantly thrown together due to a strange alien that infiltrates the Galactica in Second Coming. In the next novel, Joint Maneuvers, their relationship moves to another level, but Athena has serious doubts that they are meant to be together.

In one short story, Athena tells Starbuck that she realizes they aren't meant for each other. Starbuck, having long ago come to this conclusion, is happy that she is finally willing to move on. The story ends with Athena introducing herself to Bojay.

In The Race For Earth, which occurs five yahrens after the events of the original series, Starbuck finally proposes to Cassiopeia.

In the V crossover novel Survive the Alliance, Starbuck journeys to Earth and meets both Knight Rider and Templeton Peck/Face of the A-Team.
