Tsawwassen, British Columbia
Tsawwassen ( ) is a suburban, mostly residential community on a peninsula in the southwestern corner of the City of Delta in British Columbia, Canada. It provides the only road access to the American territory on the southern tip of the peninsula, the community of Point Roberts, Washington, via 56th Street.

Played by Katee Sackhoff, she is a revised version of Lieutenant Starbuck from the 1978 ''Battlestar Galactica'' series. She is one of the main characters on the show.
