Caprica Buccaneers

The insignia for the Buccaneers as found on Kara Thrace's clothing (Home, Part II)

The Caprica Buccaneers are a pyramid team from Caprica, captained by Samuel T. Anders.

According to the Buccaneers, they were training in the mountains at the time of the Cylon nuclear bombardment of the colony. Shielded from the shockwaves and a bulk of the nuclear fallout, they managed to round up hikers and other survivors camping in the mountains into a sizable resistance force. From there, they sieged supply depots, hospitals (for anti-radiation meds) and destroyed Cylon convoys (Resistance).

The Buccaneers' team roster consisted of Anders, "Jo-man", "Rally", "Ten Point", Sue-Shaun, "Gripkey" and Morris Fink (Resistance), as well as Jean Barolay and Hillard (Downloaded).

With her comments, Kara Thrace -- who mentions to Anders later on that a "bum knee" robbed her of a professional pyramid career -- either wasn't a fan of the team, or was a sharp critic. While questioning Anders' legitimacy, at gunpoint, she demands that he tell her how many "foul breaks" the Buccaneers had in the playoff against Aerelon. Anders tells Thrace that one foul break was called back, after instant replay, suggesting a parallel to the National Football League, international cricket, and other major sporting leagues, in which officials may review replays after a play before making a final decision.

Notes

• The team's nickname may be a reference to the 2003 Super Bowl champion, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football League.
• The team is often referred to as the "C-Bucs" for short.
