'''''Pegasus''<!-- (BS 62)''' is a [[Mercury class battlestar|''Mercury'' class battlestar]] which was docked at the [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] for a scheduled overhaul during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. After escaping the destruction of the shipyards, ''Pegasus'' began tracking a Cylon taskforce which ultimately reunites them with a [[The Fleet (RDM)|refugee fleet]] being guarded by [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']], leaving ''Pegasus'' the only other battlestar besides ''Galactica'' known to have survived the destruction of the Twelve Colonies. | |||
''Pegasus'' commander Admiral [[Helena Cain]] is succeeded after her murder ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]) by [[Jack Fisk]], who in turn is also murdered after running afowl with black marketeers in the Fleet ([[Black Market]]). ''Pegasus'' is briefly commanded by engineer-turned-commander [[Barry Garner]], who is killed saving the ship during the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]]. ''Pegasus'' is currently commanded by Commander [[Lee Adama]], son of the Fleet's supreme commander, Admiral [[William Adama]]. | |||
''Pegasus'' becomes unofficially known as "The Beast" amongst the Fleet, although it is not known if the nickname comes from her tenacity in combat or its sordid crew history ([[The Captain's Hand]]). | |||
== Fleet Details == | |||
'''Designation''': warship, [[battlestar]] type, [[Mercury class battlestar|''Mercury'' class battlestar]]<br> | |||
'''Deployment''': Formerly an element of [[62nd Battlestar Group]]<br> | |||
'''Current Status''': One of [[Galactica (RDM)|two]] remaining Colonial military units. Currently under the command of Commander [[Lee Adama]]. | |||
==History== | |||
Presumed lost with the rest of the Colonial military fleet, ''Pegasus'' actually managed to escape the destruction of the Colonies when Admiral [[Helena Cain]] ordered a [[blind jump]]. While saving the battlestar, about 700 of her crew died in the initial attack. | |||
Although ''Pegasus'' is advanced enough to have the [[Command Navigation Program]] installed, which the Cylons used as a backdoor, ''Pegasus'' had just checked in for a three-month refit at the time of the Cylon attack, and as such, almost all of its networked [[Computers|computer]] systems were offline. As a result, the Cylons were not able to immobilize the ship using computer infiltration. This, combined with the sheer luck of not being one of the first ships at the shipyards that the Cylons focused their attack on, and Admiral Cain's order to just randomly Jump anywhere safe immediately, allowed ''Pegasus'' to escape. | |||
At some point, a [[Cylon agent|Cylon]] infiltrator was discovered onboard - a woman named [[Gina]]. She killed seven men when apprehended, and was then incarcerated, brutally interrogated and gang-raped by many of the crew. | |||
After the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Pegasus'' occupied itself with hit-and-run attacks on various Cylon assets. It participated in a bold assault on a staging area filled with fifteen squadrons of [[Raider]]s. When Cain's long-time [[Executive officer]] expressed hesitancy to launch the ships' fighters against such odds, Cain publicly executed him on the bridge and promoted [[Jack Fisk]] to replace him. Fisk tells this story (and later recants it) while drunk to Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]], which Tigh believed to be true when he recounts it in turn to Commander Adama. | |||
Some time later, ''Pegasus'' discovered that a Cylon fleet it was tracking appeared to be jumping, not randomly, but to systems with natural resources. The battlestar accidentally encountered [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] led by battlestar ''[[Galactica]]'' when ''Pegasus'' jumped ahead to scout the Cylon target's projected next position (as it turned out, the Cylons were jumping to systems ''Galactica'' had passed through or explored). Cain assumes overall command of the Fleet and began transferring supplies and many personnel between the two battlestars, including Captain [[Lee Adama]] and Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]]. Cain appeared unconcerned with the needs of the civilians and their ships, a problem noted to Commander Adama by President [[Laura Roslin]]. | |||
Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] mentioned during his interrogation by Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] that he served aboard a number of battlestars in his military career, including ''Pegasus'' ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]). If Admiral Cain ever knew him during this time, she made no mention of it, and had no reservations sentencing him and [[Karl Agathon]] to death when they inadvertently kill Lieutenant [[Alistair Thorne]], Cain's chief "Cylon interrogator". [[William Adama]], commander of ''Galactica'', refused to permit the execution, precipitating an armed standoff between the two ships ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). | |||
==Pegasus Fleet== | |||
It was later revealed that ''Pegasus'' originally had its own small fleet of 15 civilian ships, found about a week after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The tiny caravan was equipped with FTL drives and weapons. Rather than defending them (as ''Galactica'' had at [[Ragnar Anchorage]]), Admiral Cain saw them as potential spare parts for ''Pegasus'', and decided that ''Pegasus' '' military needs were a priority over them. The civilian ships were stripped for parts, including their weapons and FTL drives, marooning them and leaving them completely at the mercy of the Cylons when Cain left. | |||
However not all of the civilians were left to die: after looking over the passenger lists, Cain selected those civilians who she thought would be of value (such as [[Peter Laird]], an aeronautical engineer), forcibly drafting them into her crew. However, 15 'selectees' aboard the civilian transport ''[[Scylla]]'' were traveling with their families and refused to leave without them. Admiral Cain ordered her marines to kill two families (men, women, and children) to shock the rest into submission. ''Pegasus'' then abandoned the civilian ships to pursue Admiral Cain's campaign of hit-and-run attacks against Cylon forces. ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]) | |||

Differences between the ''Mercury''-class battlestar design and that of the ''Galactica''-type battlestars will be further elaborated upon in a deleted scene in the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]," scheduled for inclusion in the upcoming DVD release of ''Season 2.5''. | |||

''Pegasus'' operates at least four [[Viper Mark VII]] squadrons, all verbally identified in the episode "[[The Captain's Hand]]": | |||
*[[Red Squadron (RDM)|Red Squadron]] | |||
*[[Yellow Squadron]] | |||
*[[Green Squadron]] | |||
*[[Blue Squadron (RDM)|Blue Squadron]] | |||
''Pegasus'' has [[Viper Mark VII]] production facilities ([[Scar]]). This is a capability that would allow the ''Pegasus'' to be self sufficient on extended deployments, so long as the battlestar has sufficient means to gather the raw materials necessary for construction. | |||
==Crew== | |||
====Senior Staff before the founding of New Caprica==== | |||
*Commander [[Lee Adama]] - Commanding officer | |||
====Former Members of the Senior Staff==== | |||
*Admiral [[Helena Cain]] - Commanding officer (Killed by [[Gina]]) | |||
*Commander [[Jack Fisk]] - Commanding officer (Killed by racketeers in the [[Black market (organization)|black market]]) | |||
*Commander [[Barry Garner]] - Commanding officer (Killed in action) | |||
*Lieutenant [[Alistair Thorne]] - Cylon interrogator (Killed by [[Galen Tyrol]]) | |||
==Notes== | |||
*According to [[David Eick]]'s video blog, it would have been impossible to afford creating new sets for the entire interior of ''Pegasus'' on the budget of an episodic television show. This expense was circumvented when a year beforehand Ron D. Moore and David Eick bought (for next to nothing) the abandoned sets of the failed pilot for the FOX network's "Lost In Space" remake, directed by John Woo. The production team then held onto the sets hoping to find some later use for them, eventually using them for [[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]. The sets were then radically redesigned and painted to give them the aesthetic look of ''Galactica'', but sleeker and more advanced. | |||
*This ship is named after the winged horse from Greek mythology (see the [[Wikipedia:Pegasus|Wikipedia article]]). | |||
