The ''Battlestar Pegasus'', in the years prior to the destruction of the Colonies, was assigned to patrol the edges of Colonial space under the leadership of [[Cain (TOS)|Commander Cain]]. Cain was a noteworthy military leader, and was in fact known as "the living legend." | |||
Two yahren before the destruction of the Colonies, the Pegasus was involved in the battle of Molecay with the Cylons. The battle was a complete disaster for the Colonials and the entire fifth fleet, except the Pegasus, was destroyed. The Pegasus managed to slip away from the battle and, aware that the route back home would be crawling with Cylons, Cain ordered the battlestar out into deep space. | |||
As a result, the Battlestar Pegasus is the second of only two battlestars known to have survived the [[Battle of Cimtar|Cylon Attack]]. | |||
The two battlestars | The Pegagus first encounters the ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' in [[The Living Legend, Part I (TOS)|The Living Legend]]. | ||
At that time, two of Cain's key [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilots are Lieutenant [[Bojay]] and his daughter, Lieutenant [[Sheba]]. | |||
The two battlestars met and took part in a fierce battle against the Cylons. Toward the end of the battle, Cain leads his ship against two [[Cylon Basestar|Cylon Basestars]] to permit the ''[[Galactica]]'' and the Fleet to escape. | |||
The question of the survival of Cain and his battlestar was always in doubt, though it is generally assumed by the fandom that the ship survived. | |||
Commander Cain's daughter, Lieutenant Sheba, remained with the Galactica after the Pegasus disappeared, as did Lieutenant Bojay. | |||
[[Count Iblis]] mentioned to Sheba in [[War of the Gods, Part II]] that she would she her father again. | |||

Pegasus is derived from the Greek mythos. Pegasus was a winged horse-god who was the foal of Poseidon; this image of a winged horse is emblematic on the Helmet of ''Pegasus's'' [[Viper (TOS)|Viper]] pilots in [[The Living Legend, Part I|The Living Legend]]. | |||
