From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Viper 8737NC is one of the Viper Mark IIs taken from Galactica's museum. It was originally piloted by Steady (Miniseries).
Captain Kara Thrace pilots 8737 on a Combat Air Patrol during fleet refueling operations. She pursues what she believes to be a Cylon Heavy Raider in this Viper and both are nearly lost when she dives deep into the gas giant's atmosphere. The Viper is lost during a later CAP along with Thrace when it is crushed by the intense atmospheric pressure of the planet after Thrace descends below the so-called "hard deck" (Maelstrom).
