'''''Galactica''''' '''vs''' '''''Pegasus''''' is a confrontation between the commanders of the two battlestars as a result of draconian command decisions by Admiral Helena Cain ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]"). | |||
Colonel [[Saul | Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] informs Commander [[William Adama]] that Admiral [[Helena Cain]] has ordered the summary execution of Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl Agathon]] over the death of Lieutenant [[Alistair Thorne]]. On this news, feeling deceived that a genuine court martial would occur for his crewmen, Adama orders a [[Raptor]] (with [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] escort) to board ''Pegasus'' to retrieve the men. | ||
When Adama | When Adama communicates to Cain of his intentions, Cain launches ''Peagsus''<nowiki>'</nowiki> full [[Viper Mark VII]] forces and orders [[Action Stations|Condition One]]. ''Galactica'' follows suit, launching her Vipers, led by [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]] and [[Brendan Constanza|Hotdog]] ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). | ||
Each side attempts to goad the other | Each side attempts to goad the other. Kat repeatedly requests permission for "[[weapons free]]" on the incoming Vipers. During this, each side plays a deadly game of "chicken," attempting to force the other to open fire. Under Colonial rules-of-engagement, the opposing side fired upon could return fire. | ||
The | The fraças is interrupted by [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] piloting the [[Blackbird]]. After then-Lieutenant [[Lee Adama]] text messages Starbuck over [[wireless]] aboard a ''Pegasus'' Raptor, her ship slowly enters [[DRADIS]] range of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Both [[battlestar]]s and their respective Viper squadrons read the Blackbird as a Cylon (the Blackbird is either not equipped with a Colonial transponder or had disabled it for the unauthorized recon mission). The two opposing groups join forces to engage the "real" enemy, but Starbuck succeeds in confirming her identity before the Vipers fire upon the Blackbird. | ||
A truce ensues after Cain receives recon photos of the Cylon [[Resurrection Ship]]. Both commanders agree to bring their ships to [[Action Stations|Condition Two]] and meet on ''[[Colonial One]]'' to determine a course of action | A truce ensues after Cain receives recon photos of the Cylon "[[Resurrection Ship]]".
