Kara "Starbuck" Thrace is a gifted Viper pilot, with an attitude that has hindered her career in the Colonial Fleet.
However, William Adama has confidence in Thrace's military skills, and she greatly aids the Fleet inside and out of the cockpit. Despite her tough, rebellious exterior, Thrace is deeply spiritual and possesses a great deal of faith in the Lords of Kobol.
She usually prays in moments of mourning or desperation, such as when she thinks Lee is dead Miniseries , when she is trapped on a desolate moon with a broken knee and low oxygen You Can't Go Home Again , and when she discovers she's in Cylon captivity The Farm.
This spirituality is put to the test as a series of events lead her towards a mysterious destiny. From early in her life, Kara Thrace has been guided through her mother's actions for a special role in life, a plot point that begins with a Leoben Conoy copy in the Season 1 episode, " Flesh and Bone ". Starbuck is the first to test pilot an experimental reconnaissance Viper.
Being the test pilot earns him a dining slot on Rising Star where he ends up trying to juggle simultaneous dates with both Athena and Cassieopeia. During his test flight he encounters a Sixth-millennium starfighter attacking a shuttle and intervenes. The pilot of the shuttle ends up stealing Starbuck's Viper, and Starbuck is captured when he flies off with the shuttle.
He is taken to a prison where the prisoners are named for the crimes of their ancestors, and are all descendents of criminals. He incites a prison revolt, just in time for Apollo and Boomer to show up along with Starbuck's missing Viper. Starbuck helps the two of them defeat their Raider pursuers.
In the process of destroying the Raiders Starbuck accidentally destroys the vast stores of ambrosa that the prisoners had made, dashing his dreams of making a fortune off of it TOS : " The Long Patrol ". The lieutenant is part of a patrol that encounters the Ravashol pulsar.
Starbuck is adamant about trying to save Cree , who is captured by the Cylons during their initial encounter with the pulsar. Starbuck joins the mission to Serenity , where he ends up accidentally winning the constable 's badge and thus the position in a game of Pyramid. Rather than following the example of previous constables, Starbuck instead bargains with the Borays. Damage to his Viper forces Starbuck to force down on the marsh planet of Attila.
Starbuck ends up helping some children defeat a Cylon garrison to free their father. Starbuck manages to find time to flirt with the eldest daughter , as well as teach them on how to time an attack by signing verses, as taught by his old flight instructor TOS : " The Young Lords ". Apollo and Starbuck discover Pegasus while out on patrol.
Starbuck joins the commando mission that parachutes down onto Gamoray. He manages to make a pass at Sheba while preparing for the drop. He and Boomer destroy the command center for the planetary defense systems. Unlike current sleeper Cylon's that black out when their program triggers them to take action she has visions and makes her own decisions.
She represents the evolved state of being able to have both free will and a destiny at the same time. I think that when her ship was destroyed near that black storm of some sort, which I'm assuming was a black hole she did die. As we all know that in any sci-fi show, black holes can bring you to any place and or time in space.
That black hole took her there and it duplicated her body AND ship, which would explain why it was brand spanking new when she came back with it. Sign up to join this community.

Just finished watching season 4, wrapped it up nicely. But I'm a little confused about Starbuck. She was not a Cylon, but she died and came back. Was she supposed to be an angel?

They are now aware that a Cylon patrol has intercepted the old merchant signal from the advanced Viper and are on their way to Proteus. The three warriors engage the Cylons, who then destroyed all the ambrosia when they attacked the docks - robbing Starbuck of his dreams of being rich. Once the fleet arrives at Proteus, Starbuck's safe return is celebrated with a dinner aboard the Rising Star.
There Boxey presents his father, Apollo, with a drawing of Earth's solar system as described to him by his grandfather Adama. When Starbuck sees the "map" he notices it is similar to a drawing he saw in his cell at the prison. The smuggler friend, who also attends the dinner, says the drawing in the cell was made by "the silent one" — a mysterious prisoner that had long since died.
