''Pegasus'' is a [[Mercury-class]] [[battlestar]] that was stationed at the [[Scorpion Ship Yards]] during the [[Cylon attack]]. It survived when its commanding officer, Admiral [[Nelena Cain]], ordered a [[blind jump]] - but not before rescuing a number of the shipyard workers, including the [[Humano-Cylon]] agent [[Gina]]. Gina alerted the Cylons to the location of the ''Pegasus'', and the subsequent attack resulted in eight hundred of the crew's deaths. However, Gina was apprehended. Some time later, the ''Pegasus'' encountered the fleet led by ''[[Galactica]]''. ("[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]")

Chief [[Tyrol]] mentioned during his interrogation by [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Tigh]] that he served aboard a number of Battlestars in his military career, including the ''Pegasus''. ("[[Resistance]]") Despite her familiarity with him, Admiral Cain had no reservations sentencing him and [[Helo|Karl Agathon]] to death when they inadvertently killed [[Thorne|Lieutenant Thorne]], Cain's chief Cylon interrogator. ("[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]")

===Notes===

According to David Eick's video blog, it would have been impossible to afford creating new sets for the entire interior of the 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, until later using them for the Pegasus. The sets were then radically redesigned and painted to give them the aesthetic look of the ''Galactica'', but sleeker and more advanced.

==[[TOS Battlestar Galactica|Original Series]] ==

Pegasus was the second battlestar known to have survived the [[Cylon Attack]]. It was commanded by Commander [[Cain]], whom [[Viper|Viper]] pilots [[Bojay]] and [[Sheba]] served under. It was the only surviving ship from the [[Battle of Molecay]], meeting up with the [[Galactica|Galactica]] in [[The Living Legend, Part I (TOS)|The Living Legend]].

The military genius Cain lead the 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.

==Greek Parallels==

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]] pilots in [[The Living Legend, Part I|The Living Legend]].

Diazmich: changed "his assasination" to the "assassination attempt on him" as he is still alive; also correctd misspelling of "assassination."

At least one fuel tanker escaped the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] and joined with [[the Fleet]]. It remained loyal to Commander [[William Adama]] during the short-lived schism between the military and civillian governments following the assassination attempt on him, and was damaged while refuelling the [[Striker]] during this time due to the incompetent oversight of recently promoted Captain [[George Birch]].
