'''Starbuck''' (callsign; full name Kara Thrace) is a hotshot Viper pilot and Galactica's "top gun" on [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica (2004)]].

== Backlash ==
In the 1978 version of ''Battlestar Galactica'', Starbuck was played by a male actor, who was very upset that "his" character was being reenvisioned; he couldn't imagine how the character could be female.
