Biography
Lieutenant Starbuck is on patrol with Boomer when they are ambushed by Cylon raiders. Starbuck's Viper is severely damaged, and he is forced to put it down on a small planet, stranding him and separating him from the fleet. Starbuck, in need of companionship, repairs a Centurion from one of the Cylon raiders he had downed. He nicknames it Cy, and the two become friends. When Cy senses that Starbuck longs for human companionship, he leaves, returning with a pregnant woman named Angela. Angela speaks in riddles, but convinces Starbuck to build a ship to transport her and "their baby" back to the fleet. Starbuck uses parts from his Viper and the downed Cylon raider to construct the ship, and when it is done there is only enough room for the mother and the child. A Cylon attack forces him to launch the ship. Cy is gunned down fighting off the Cylons, and Starbuck is left alive on the planet. Alone. The child he launches grows up to be Doctor Zee (The Return of Starbuck).
Notes
- Had the series been permitted to continue, an episode called "Wheel of Fire" would have seen Starbuck rescued by the Beings of Light to become one of their rank.
- A doomed attempt at reviving the Original Series in 2001 would have seen an older Starbuck in the planned series, which would have to explain the inconsistencies and poor storylines created in "Galactica 1980."
