In addition to the above outerwear, all military personnel are issued gray t-shirts (sleeved or sleeveless) and dark brown tank tops. These are often worn together, with the tank top over-top of the t-shirt. Kara's BACKSTORY Thrace was born on Picon some years after the 1st Cylon War's conclusion. Her father, Dreillide, was a piano composer who eventually left her and her mother, Socrata, behind to pursue his music career. Socrata, meanwhile, was a decorated Marine Corporal who had fought in the Cylon War. Obsessed with an Oracle's prophesy of her daughter holding a special purpose for mankind, the young Kara Thrace's childhood was a psychically abusive, with her breaking every finger on one hand. As a young adult, Thrace enlisted in the Colonial Military though didn't expect to have a long career. Having played Pyramid with other children while her mother was transferred from base to base, she hoped to become a professional player, particularly when her grades precluded her from going to university.[1] Joining the Colonial military's officer candidate school at her mother's expectation, Thrace was drawn not at the expectation of a career, but because of its college-level Pyramid team. By playing professionally, then leaving the military as soon as possible, Thrace hoped she would be picked by a big team. While she was in fact scouted, an injury to her right knee ended her hopes as several months of physical therapy passed. Focusing back on her military career, she applied for the flight training entrance exam and was immediately accepted due to high results. Early flight career Thrace's flight training career was a mixture of highs and lows. While she was an excellent pilot who flew based on instinct rather than instruction and able to think outside-the-box, she showed a resistance towards taking orders from instructors, and made further demerits due to her excessive drinking and gambling, leading to curfew breaking and finally starting barfights with civilians.[1] Because of this string of offences, she would graduate 16th in her class of over 100 despite doing better than anyone else. This failed to impress Socrata, who had long hoped she would graduate, and their relationship finally collapsed that same day when she snapped at her daughter for reading a cancer diagnosis letter.[3] Lieutenant Thrace's first tour was onboard Triton, where she earned the callsign "Starbuck". Due to her bad reputation, however, Triton's CO wanted her reassigned, and she found herself becoming a flight instructor for trainee pilots instead. Sometime in the mid-1990s, Lieutenant Thrace developed a romantic relationship with one of her trainees, Zak Adama, who had made it into the academy due to influence from his father, Commander William Adama, who was then the Valkyrie CO. They quickly became engaged, and in 1998 she met his older brother, Cpt. Lee Adama, an Atlantia pilot being reassigned for flight testing. Though she was immediately drawn to the flight tester, she stuck with Zak and they remained friends. Soon after, Zak failed the final exam in his flight training, using a technique she would later describe as "sloppy". As his instructor and fiancée, Lieutenant Thrace altered his grade to give him a bare pass, something he could believe. Soon after beginning his tour, Zak died in a plane crash which an inquiry determined to be "pilot error". Not wanting to be in a similar situation again, she accepted Commander Adama's offer of assigning her to his new battlestar, Galactica.
