<br />
The '''Quorum of Twelve''' is a unicameral deliberative body<ref>The Quorum combines features from the [[w: U.N. Security Council|U.N. Security Council]], [[Wikipedia: United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] and the [[Wikipedia: Quorum of the Twelve Apostles|Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]] (a leadership body in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and some other Mormon sects).</ref> that grants each of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] one elected representative, who votes on and brings issues to be discussed. The scope of these issues, in the aftermath of the [[Cylon attack]], is likely to be quite broad due to the lack of any other organized political bodies.<br />
<br />
It is believed that the Quorum was instituted by the [[Articles of Colonization]]; 52 years prior to the final [[Cylon Attack]]. <br />
<br />
==First Roslin Administration==<br />
After the loss of the Quorum under President Adar, [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] reestablishes a new Quorum on [[Colonial Day (holiday)|Colonial Day]]. Its representatives included:<br />
<br />
* [[Tom Zarek]] of [[Sagittaron]]<br />
* [[Marshall Bagot]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Virgon|Virgon]]<br />
* [[Sarah Porter]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Gemenon|Gemenon]]<br />
* [[Robin Wenutu]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Canceron|Canceron]]<br />
* [[Safiya Sanne]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Picon|Picon]]<br />
* [[Gaius Baltar]] of [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] (born on [[Aerelon]])<br />
* [[Eladio Puasha]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Scorpia|Scorpia]]<br />
* [[Pergia Envito]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Tauron|Tauron]]<br />
* [[Alexander Amiet]] of [[Aerelon]]<br />
<br />
One of the primary issues of the new Quorum is the election of a Vice President as the Quorum is responsible for the confirmation of the successor to that office. If there is a tie, as is the case during the campaign of Tom Zarek and Gaius Baltar, the President is the one who casts the tie-breaking vote ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />
<br />
The [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]'s Quorum of Twelve assembled on ''[[Cloud 9]]''.<br />
<br />
==Baltar Administration==<br />
With ''Cloud 9's'' destruction shortly after [[Gaius Baltar]]'s swearing-in as President of the Twelve Colonies, an undetermined number of Quorum members are killed<ref>Laura Roslin asks President Zarek: "So, Mr. President, how long before the new Quorum of Twelve can be sworn in?" in the episode "[[Collaborators]]". This suggests that the Quorum is dissolved after ''Cloud 9's'' destruction or sometime during the Baltar administration, before or after the Cylon occupation.</ref>. The Quorum's existence is not explained during Baltar's administration and its surrender to the Cylons a year later on [[New Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
==Zarek/Second Roslin Administration==<br />
President Tom Zarek oversees the appointment of a new Quorum, who later approves the transition of presidential powers from Zarek to [[Laura Roslin]] after the [[Second Exodus]] ([[Collaborators]]).<br />
<br />
The Caprican seat is held by [[Lee Adama]], who succeeds [[Cowen]] ([[The Ties That Bind]]). Meeting on ''[[Colonial One]]'' with the [[Fleet News Service|press]] in attendance, Vice President Zarek appears to act as chairman to an unruly Quorum.<br />
<br />
Representatives on this Quorum include:<br />
* [[Jacob Cantrell]] of [[Sagittaron]]<br />
* [[Lee Adama]] of [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]<br />

<br />
The '''standoff between ''Galactica'' and ''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]]").<br />
<br />
Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] informs Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] that Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]] has ordered the summary execution of Chief [[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl Agathon|Agathon]] over the death of ''Pegasus'' Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne|Thorne]]. On this news, feeling deceived that a genuine court martial would occur for his crewmen, Adama orders a [[Raptor]] with [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] escorts to board ''Pegasus'' to retrieve the men.<br />
<br />
When Adama informs Cain of his intentions, Cain launches ''Peagsus'''s full [[Viper Mark VII]] forces and orders [[Action Stations|Condition One]]. ''Galactica'' follows suit, launching her Vipers, led by [[Louanne Katraine|Kat]] and [[Brendan Costanza|Hotdog]] ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
The fracas is interrupted by [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] piloting the [[Blackbird]]. After Captain [[Lee Adama]] text messages Starbuck over [[wireless]] aboard a ''Pegasus'' Raptor, her ship only showing up on [[DRADIS]] due to her reply transmission being detected. 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. <br />
<br />
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 ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />

'''Jack Fisk''', [[:Image:Jack Fisk serial number.jpg|serial number]] 245A-34DC, is the [[Executive officer|Executive Officer]] of the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (serving as a Colonel) when he and Admiral [[Helena Cain]] discover ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''.<br />
<br />
Fisk is a typical orders-only XO who generally keeps to the status quo established by his commanding officer. Like his counterpart on ''Galactica'', [[Saul Tigh]], Fisk is fond of drinking, although he appears far less likely to drink on duty than Tigh has in the past.<br />
<br />
In a drunken conversation with Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]], Fisk says that he entered his position as XO following Admiral Cain's execution of her previous XO for insubordination. Fisk later claims that the tale of the shooting was just a joke, although Tigh's instincts tell him otherwise. He later relays the story to Commander [[William Adama|Adama]]. Fisk's previous post on ''Pegasus'' before promotion to XO is not given ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br />
<br />
After Commander Adama and Admiral Cain come to a near-shootout between their battlestars over Cain's quick conviction of [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], Admiral Cain orders Fisk to take a contingent of ''Pegasus'' Marines to guard ''Galactica's'' [[CIC]], but with orders to "terminate Adama's command" after the battle is over, once she calls him and says, "Execute [[Case Orange#note|case orange]]" ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
Colonel Fisk breaks up a violent beating of Helo and Tyrol in the brig, conducted by ''Pegasus'' Specialists [[Vireem]] and [[Gage]]. He dresses down the men, warning them that striking an officer on ''Pegasus'' has severe penalties, and sends them on his way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk nastily dismisses their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne|Thorne]] his life, as did others on ''Pegasus''; he broke up the beating more for the sake of the uniform than anything else. When Helo explains that Thorne was attempting to rape [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]], Fisk echoes the same sentiment held by most in the Colonial fleet: "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant."<br />
<br />
Fisk later details to Tigh (again, over drinks) the fate of a civilian fleet that accompanied ''Pegasus'' for a time before Admiral Cain ordered their ships stripped of supplies, parts, and people, killing the families of any conscripts who refused to leave.<br />
<br />
However, Cain does not give the kill order to Fisk for Commander Adama at the expected time, which leaves Fisk visibly relieved. Colonel Fisk later assumes command of ''Pegasus'' when Admiral Cain is killed by an escaped Cylon agent, [[Gina]] ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]). Appropriately, Fisk is promoted to the rank of Commander.<br />
<br />
Commander Fisk is involved in the Fleet's [[Black market (organization)|black market]], using his resources to allow shuttling of resources through ''Pegasus.'' Fisk supplies [[Gaius Baltar]] with fresh "[[Caprican Imperial]]s" cigars. Fisk apparently becomes greedy in the eyes of the black market's boss, [[Phelan]], who has Fisk murdered in his quarters ([[Black Market]]). Fisk is succeeded by former engineer [[Barry Garner]] as commander of ''Pegasus'' ([[The Captain's Hand]]).<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* According to the [[:md:Image:Jack Fisk serial number.jpg|recon photograph]] shown in "Pegasus", Fisk's serial number is 245A-34DC; a serial number that does not conform to serial numbers issued to [[Kara Thrace]], [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon Valerii]], or [[Karl Agathon]]. <br />

The '''''Astral Queen''''' is a [[FTL]]-capable former starliner now given over to transporting prisoners between worlds. At the time of the [[Cylon attack]], she was originally said to be carrying 500 male prisoners ([[Miniseries]]) to their pardon hearings on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] ([[Bastille Day]]). However, this was later retconned and increased to a count of 1,500 prisoners. It was captained by [[Wilkens]].<br />
<br />
Following sabotage aboard ''[[Galactica]]'', which destroys the majority of the Fleet's water reserves ([[Water]]), [[Lee Adama]] is sent to the ''Astral Queen'' to try and enlist the aid of the prisoners to help obtain fresh water supplies from an ice-bound moon ([[Bastille Day]]). However, once on board, he meets with the prisoners' spokesman, [[Tom Zarek]], who orchestrates a break-out and hijacking of the ship. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Bsg-1-03.jpg|thumb|left|[[Lee Adama]] and [[Tom Zarek]] inside the '''Astral Queen''']]<br />
The situation is resolved jointly by a [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marine]] assault from ''Galactica'' and by Lee Adama, agreeing to the core of Zarek's demands: that free and fair elections are held within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] to appoint a new president at the end of [[Laura Roslin]]'s term - some seven months from the date of the revolt on the ''Astral Queen''. In return for his surrender and the assistance of the prisoners in obtaining the much-needed water ice for the fleet, Lee Adama leaves Zarek and his men in control of the ''Astral Queen'', much to the chagrin of both President Roslin and Commander [[William Adama]] himself.<br />
<br />
The ''Astral Queen'' was landed on the outskirts of [[New Caprica City]] next to ''[[Colonial One]]'' ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />

==Notes==<br />
*The ship is equipped with at least one "flare", launched upward from some point amidships and on the dorsal section ([[The Farm]]).<br />

*In the DVD commentary for "[[Bastille Day]]", Ronald Moore and David Eick say that in hindsight they feel that "Astral Queen" was a very poor choice of name for a prison ship, and they now wish they had used a different name.<br />
*The ''Astral Queen'' is, according to the DVD commentary, named for [[MemoryAlpha:Astral Queen|a transport]] mentioned in the original ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[MemoryAlpha:The Conscience of the King|The Conscience of the King]]". <br />

*In the DVD commentary for "[[Bastille Day]]", Ronald Moore and David Eick say that in hindsight they feel that "Astral Queen" was a very poor choice of name for a prison ship, and they now wish they had used a different name.<br />
*The ''Astral Queen'' is, according to the DVD commentary, named for [[MemoryAlpha:Astral Queen|a transport]] mentioned in the original ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[MemoryAlpha:The Conscience of the King|The Conscience of the King]]". <br />

Presently, the first in command aboard ''Galactica ''is Admiral Adama, and the second in command is Colonel Tigh. Beyond that the hierarchy is unclear. <br />
<br />
Before his resignation from the Colonial Fleet, Major [[Lee Adama]] was the next highest ranking officer (Major Cottle is a staff officer and outside of the chain of command) nut never was assigned as second in command . In past episodes both Captain [[Aaron Kelly]] and Captain [[Karl Agathon]] have have served as seconds-in-command.

Presently, the first in command aboard ''Galactica ''is Admiral Adama, and the second in command is Colonel Tigh. Beyond that the hierarchy is unclear. <br />

Before his resignation from the Colonial Fleet, Major Lee Adama was the next highest ranking officer (Major [[Cottle]] is a staff officer and outside of the chain of command) nut never was assigned as second in command .

'''"Camp Oil Slick"''', later referred to as "'''Dogsville'''", is a nickname given to the temporary lodging set up on a part of the otherwise unused starboard [[hangar deck]] for displaced civilians rescued from [[New Caprica]]. These civilians originally hailed from ships in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] that were dismantled for resources during New Caprica's colonization, or are currently unable to shelter them, or are otherwise unusable. [[Julia Brynn]] and her daughter [[Kacey]] and her mother are among some of the civilians living aboard ''[[Galactica]]'' ([[Torn]]).<br />
<br />
The remnants of Camp Oil Slick are later converted to a living area for refugees, in order to address the population concerns of the Fleet. Dogsville's "mayor" is Captain [[Karl Agathon]], who accepts the post after Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] resumes his old post as ''Galactica'''s [[Executive Officer]].<br />
<br />
: ''Due to Helo's return to flight status in "[[A Day in the Life]]", it is uncertain if he is still "mayor" of Dogsville.''<br />
<br />
Initially, medical treatment in Dogsville was provided by Doctor [[Michael Robert]], before Robert is discovered to have killed numerous [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Sagittaron|Sagittarons]] under his treatment both in Dogsville and in the medical center on [[New Caprica]] ([[The Woman King]]).<br />
<br />
Several people living in Dogsville, among them [[Daniel Noon]], are conscripted to work on the refinery ship ''[[Daru Mozu]]'' after its crew goes on strike due to bad working conditions, and Galen Tyrol negotiates for worker rotations to relieve the people there ([[Dirty Hands]]).<br />
<br />
After having strange dreams about [[Leoben Conoy]], Kara Thrace visits the [[oracle]] [[Yolanda Brenn]] in Dogsville ([[Maelstrom]]).<br />

*"[[Wikipedia:Commander, Air Group|CAG]]" is a US Navy term that has gained widespread recognition through films such as Top Gun and television series such as JAG. While the term CAG is technically obsolete as Air Groups are now known as Air Wings, and the position has thus been renamed to "Commander, Air Wing" (CAW) it is nevertheless still used, especially on an informal level. The term "Air Wing" is also used on ''Battlestar Galactica'' ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br />

[[Image:Monclair.jpg|300px|thumb|A painting in William Adama's quarters by [[Monclair]] celebrates a joint [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]]-[[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Aerelon|Aerelon]] victory over Cylon forces.]]<br />
The '''Cylon War''' (or "First Cylon War") was the conflict that ended over forty years prior to the events of the [[Miniseries]] and involved the early [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] revolting against their role of servants to the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Colonials]]. While the Cylons used [[Cylon Raider|Raiders]] and [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]], the Colonials developed the first [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]]. <br />
<br />
The Cylon War began as humanity's bastard children, the Cylons, turned on their "parents." Their rebellious acts caused the slaughter of countless thousands, if not millions.<br />
<br />
Across the [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]], the Cylons waged a war against their masters that lasted many years. This war was waged amongst the stars as well as on Colonial soil. There are no specific battles to indicate the turning of the tides of war, though it is known that the Cylons were expelled from the now-combined Colonies and left to the stars.<br />
<br />
After both sides fought to exhaustion the war ended in an armistice (possibly the [[Cimtar (RDM)|Cimtar Peace Accord]]) and an attempt to maintain diplomatic relations with the Cylons. The Colonials built [[Armistice Station]] to maintain diplomatic contact, although this overture was ignored by the Cylons. <br />
<br />
Given that the [[Articles of Colonization]] were signed fifty-two years before the [[Cylon Attack]], it is possible that the Cylon War was what precipitated the unification of the Twelve Colonies.<br />
<br />
Veterans of the war include [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]], and [[Socrata Thrace]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Emergency jump coordinates''' (also "'''emergency standby coordinates'''," "'''escape coordinates'''" or simply "'''emergency coordinates'''") are likely part of standard [[Colonial Fleet]] fleet maneuver doctrine. Coordinates appear to be labeled by letters of the [[Colonial wireless alphabet]], namely as "Alpha,"<ref name="EJC1">When Tigh orders the emergency jump in "Scattered", [[Anastasia Dualla|Dee]] mentions "emergency coordinates Alpha". Given that it is real-life practice of differentiating between multiple versions of the same thing by adding [[Colonial wireless alphabet|CWA]] or Latin letters or numbers, it seems logical to assume that doctrine provides for the existence of more than one set.</ref> "Bravo", "Constellation" and so on. Multiple sets of Emergency jump coordinates can exist simultaneously, to be used in different contingencies or as part of a larger battle plan. Emergency coordinates are distributed by the flagship among a group of ships.<br />
<br />
The authority to order an emergency FTL jump rests with the Fleet's [[Actual|principal officer in command]].<br />
<br />
Their calculation and distribution are a part of routine day-to-day operations and fall within the responsibility of the Senior Officer of the Watch, in the case of [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']], Lt. [[Felix Gaeta]]. They are updated on every watch with new starfixes to compensate for inertial drift and then distributed to [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]]. <ref name="EJC2">This is mentioned by Col. Tigh to his wife [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]] in "Scattered".</ref><br />
<br />
Emergency jump coordinates are not explicitly mentioned in "[[33]]". The reasons for this may be that the collective jump of the Fleet into safety had become "routine" rather than an emergency procedure.<br />
<br />
In "[[Scattered]]", [[Saul_Tigh|Col. Tigh]] orders an immediate jump to the emergency coordinates. When ''Galactica'' finds herself isolated from the rest of the fleet, Tigh states that while ''Galactica'' did update its jump coordinates with the change of watch, Lt. Gaeta failed to transmit the new sets of coordinates to the rest of the Fleet.<br />

--[[Saul Tigh]].<br />
<br />
<br />
The Executive Officer (more commonly known as the XO) is the second in command aboard a Colonial Fleet vessel and is responsible for administrative duties and the detailed management of affairs, giving the CO time to deal with broader issues. The rank normally held by the Executive Officer is Colonel. <br />
<br />

== Notes ==<br />
*Executive Officer is a military term in this context, used in several branches of the armed forces worldwide (naval, marine, air force). Certain forces, such as the British Army use the term "2i/c" (signifying second in command) or "First Officer" in preference to "XO."<br />

<div>==Air Wing or Air Group==<br />
Just wondering what episode or commentary by RDM led to the statment "The term Air Group is only used in the title of the CAG as in practise the Viper and Raptor force is called the Air Wing."?<br />
<br />
If we cannot find this reference, I believe this statement and the note should be removed as Air Group is acceptable considering it is part of the CAG's name. [[User:Nwobkwr|Nwobkwr]] 22:07, 23 February 2007 (CST)<br />
<br />
:It's evident from dialogue, that they call it Air Wing and not Air Group. For example from "Pegasus":<br />
:" Cain: Which leads me to the next subject, commander. I'm going to integrate the crews. And I'm starting by reassigning Captain Adama to the Pegasus '''air wing'''." --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:03, 24 February 2007 (CST)<br />

*"[[Wikipedia:Commander, Air Group|CAG]]" is a US Navy term that has gained widespread recognition through films such as Top Gun and television series such as JAG. While the term CAG is technically obsolete as Air Groups are now known as Air Wings, and the position has thus been renamed to "Commander, Air Wing" (CAW) it is nevertheless still used, especially on an informal level. The term "Air Wing" is also used on ''Battlestar Galactica'' ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br />

<br />
== Redundant information ==<br />
<br />
Ignoring the lacking episode title formatting (use of quotation marks), I think the whole history section is largely redundant. This is already mentioned on the [[CAG]] or [[XO]] pages for example. If something changes, people will have to edit at least two pages. I suggest moving the content to the relevant pages if it's not there already, like in the case of [[Communications Officer]]<br />
<br />
Or if people feel that it's better to have the information in one place, linking from those pages to this one --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:12, 24 February 2007 (CST)<br />
<br />
:I agree with the second suggestion as my original intention was to free up space on the Galactica page. Also, histories such as CO would be no where since there is no CO page.

'''''Pegasus'' (BS 62)''' was a [[Mercury class battlestar|''Mercury'' class battlestar]], whose earliest-known commander was Rear Admiral [[Helena Cain]].<br />
<br />
Much more advanced technologically, and of far greater size and firepower than the decommissioned ''[[Galactica]]'', ''Pegasus'' had been presumed destroyed in the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] . In actuality it survived, reunited with ''Galactica'' and the civilian fleet, and served a significant role in the Colonial struggle for survival until the [[Battle of New Caprica|exodus]] from [[New Caprica]]. <br />
<br />
:''In the [[Pegasus (Extended Version)|Extended Cut]] of the episode "Pegasus" Admiral Cain states that the ship is nearly twice the size of ''Galactica'', but needs only half the crew. This probably refers to either the dual [[landing bay|landing bays]] or the ship's volume, but not its length. The decreased manpower requirement stems from increased computerization and automation. This is also evident in the comparatively small size of the ''Pegasus'' [[CIC]].''<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
[[Image:TheEnemysGateIsDown3.jpg|thumb|right|Pegasus taking heavy fire]]<br />
[[Image:PegasusForeBatteries.jpg|thumb|right|Pegasus firing her forward batteries]]<br />
While ''Pegasus'' had the [[Command Navigation Program]] installed, which the Cylons used as a backdoor, ''Pegasus'' had just checked in to the [[Scorpian Fleet Shipyards]] for a three-month refit at the time of the Cylon attack. 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. Combined with the sheer luck of the multiple targets that the Cylons enjoyed, the nuclear detonations temporarily blinded the Cylon [[DRADIS]]. Her options limited, Admiral Cain ordered her ship to [[Blind jump|randomly jump without a coordinates check]].<br />
<br />
While saving the battlestar, the risky blind jump was not the end of their troubles. An indeterminate amount of time later, a [[Cylon agent]] known as [[Gina]] allowed a party of [[Cylon Centurion]]s to board the ship, resulting in approximately 700 deaths. When Gina was discovered, she killed 7 men before she was subdued. Once imprisoned, ''Pegasus''' commander instituted a new policy of Cylon interrogation for Gina: by brutal gang-rape.<br />
<br />
After their escape, ''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.<br />
<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
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 makes no mention of it, and has no reservations sentencing him and [[Karl Agathon]] to death when they inadvertently kill Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne]], Cain's chief "Cylon interrogator". [[William Adama]], commander of ''Galactica'', refuses to permit the execution, precipitating an armed standoff between the two ships ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).<br />
<br />
The battlestar commanders later set aside their animosity and join forces to successfully destroy the Resurrection Ship. However in the midst of celebration, Cain is killed by Gina, who escapes from the battlestar ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Admiral Cain is succeeded by [[Jack Fisk]], who in turn is murdered after running afoul of the Fleet's illicit black market ([[Black Market]]). ''Pegasus'' is briefly commanded by engineer-turned-commander [[Barry Garner]], who dies saving the ship during the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]]. ''Pegasus''' final commander was [[Lee Adama]], with his wife [[Anastasia Dualla]] later serving as his XO.<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' becomes unofficially known as "The Beast" within the Fleet, although it is not known if the nickname came from her tenacity in combat or the battlestar's sordid crew history ([[The Captain's Hand]]).<br />
<br />
===A Lost Civilian Fleet===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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, fifteen '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]]).<br />
<br />
===New Caprica===<br />
<br />
Following the founding of [[New Caprica]], ''Pegasus'' is assigned to the Orbital Defense Force that protects the planet. During this time, Commander [[Lee Adama]] keeps an emergency supply of medication aboard for the pilots, despite the fact that their crew are severely depleted due to colonization of the planet. One year after the founding the colony, the Cylons return in force. Unable to defend the planet, ''Pegasus'' and the remaining ships orbiting the planet jump away ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
Four months later, ''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica'' plan a rescue mission to recover the people left on the planet ([[Occupation]]). While the plans initially called for the involvement of ''Pegasus'' in the recovery, Admiral Adama decides that the remnants of the Fleet, the last free people of humanity, should not be left unprotected if things went awry. Adama takes ''Galactica'' in the rescue effort without ''Pegasus'', ordering his son to stay with the Fleet at a rendezvous point to await their return ([[Precipice]], [[Exodus, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
Despite Adama's orders, ''Pegasus'' leaves her fighters to protect the remains of the Fleet and returns to New Caprica to participate in the rescue. ''Pegasus'' jumps into the fight and finds ''Galactica'' under fire from four Cylon basestars. ''Pegasus'' destroys one of the baseships with her forward batteries and attracts the attention of the others while ''Galactica'' repairs its FTL drive and prepares to jump away.<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' reels from the onslought of missiles from the remaining Cylon basestars. It becomes clear to Admiral Adama that ''Pegasus's'' trip was one-way. Following ''Galactica's'' jump, Commander Adama sets his battlestar's batteries on auto-fire and orders the crew to abandon ship, pausing just long enough to give his dying command a quiet thanks. As the evacuation Raptors jump away, ''Pegasus'', now completely unmanned, collides with a basestar, destroying it. As ''Pegasus'' explodes, the remains of her starboard [[flight pod]] collides with another basestar, destroying it as well ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' had built in electronic countermeasure (ECM) generators as it deviates missiles away from the ship ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' also had [[Viper Mark VII]] production facilities ([[Scar]]). This is a capability that would allow the ship to be self sufficient on extended deployments, so long as the battlestar has sufficient means to gather the raw materials necessary for construction.<br />
<br />
==Air Wing==<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' operates at least four [[Viper Mark VII]] squadrons:<br />
*[[Red Squadron (RDM)|Red Squadron]]<br />
*[[Yellow Squadron]]<br />
*[[Green Squadron]]<br />
*[[Blue Squadron (RDM)|Blue Squadron]]<br />
<br />
:''These squadrons were verbally identified in the episode [[The Captain's Hand]]. It is possible that these designations are just [[wireless]] code names and not formal, standing squadrons, since on ''Galactica'' they have more elaborate names and are numbered; such as the [[Vigilantes]]. The colors and group leaders could be assigned on an ad-hoc basis, while a more formal structure exists in the background.''<br />

*[[Peter Laird]] - Chief of the Deck (Civillian that was conscripted by Admiral Cain)<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*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.<br />
*This ship is named after [[w:Pegasus|the winged horse from Greek mythology]].<br />

[[Galactica type battlestar|The veteran battlestar]] '''''Galactica'' (BS 75)''' is the most famous warship in the [[Colonial Fleet]]. Built in time to participate in the [[Cylon War]], she remained the only military vessel without integrated [[Computers|computer networks]]. Without networked computers, ''Galactica'' never upgraded to the new [[Command Navigation Program|integrated defense system software]] developed by Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] and his [[Number Six|team]]. Because of this and other fortunes, she became one of only [[Pegasus (RDM)|two]] known battlestars to survive the renewed [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]] on the [[Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]], some 40 years after the end of the first war. At the time of the attack, she was part of the [[75th Battlestar Group]] (BSG-75).<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' was one of the twelve first battlestars to be laid down by the Colonials. Initially they built a battlestar to represent each colony, where ''Galactica'' represented [[Caprica]]. As such, she is some 50 years old. Following the outbreak of Cylon hostilities several more battlestars were built. ''Galactica's'' first commander was named [[Nash]] ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
[[Image:Mini gal top.jpg|left|thumb|A dorsal view of ''Galactica''. The starboard [[flight pod]] is covered by a window to form the [[Galactica Museum|museum area]].]]<br />
The original battlestars were all designed with non-integrated computer systems to avoid the Cylons' demonstrated ability to override or subvert networked command and control systems early in the war ([[Miniseries]]). Rather than technological sophistication, the battlestar depended on its sheer bulk and defensive / offensive capabilities to ward off any threats to itself or the Colonies. <br />
<br />
Following the [[Armistice Station|armistice]] with the Cylons, and their withdrawal from Colonial space, ''Galactica'' and her sister ships served the Twelve Colonies in a variety of roles. While her surviving sister ships were scrapped or upgraded to match the systems capabilities of newer Colonial vessels, ''Galactica'' continued in service without her systems being fully networked or integrated, making her unique among Colonial military vessels ([[Miniseries]]). Galactica was relegated to intra-system duties for at least 20 years prior to her decommissioning.<br />
<br />
With her active career drawing to a close, a decision was taken to retire ''Galactica'' and decommission her from service. [[Colonial Fleet]] chose not to scrap her, but to turn her into a combination of living museum to the original Cylon War and an educational center, with her conversion being overseen by her final commander, [[William Adama]] ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
<br />
At the time of her formal decommissioning ceremony, ''Galactica'' is stripped of all but one of her operational [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] Mark VII squadrons, her munitions are destroyed, and her starboard landing pod is a pressurized [[Galactica Museum|museum]] which houses (among other things) a full squadron of [[Viper Mark II|Mk. II Vipers]] as well as a Viper model that appears [[Viper (TOS)|older than the Mark II]] (Miniseries, also in Deleted Scenes).<br />
<br />
With the renewed and unexpected Cylon hostilities, ''Galactica'' quickly proves her worthiness as a warship is far from over as she sorties several Mark IIs retrieved from her museum to challenge her first Cylon attack in over 40 years (her last Mark VII squadron was sent to Caprica for reassignment). The old battlestar withstands a direct hit from a tactical nuclear missile while unsuccessfully performing evasive maneuvers, but later [[FTL|Jumps]] successfully to [[Ragnar Anchorage]] to retrieve much-needed ammunition stores at this hidden depot.<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' finally bares her teeth in this new Cylon war as she single-handedly engages two [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] with her gun batteries, providing covering fire for [[The Fleet (RDM)|an assortment of 75 civilian ships]] containing the last survivors of the Twelve Colonies. All ships, with ''Galactica'' last to leave the engagement zone, escape to a destination past the [[Red Line]], never to return to Colonial space. <br />
<br />
Since the exodus of the Colonials from their overrun homeworlds, ''Galactica'' becomes both protector and provider for the Fleet. She provides covering fire for the Fleet during Cylon attacks no fewer than 240 times ([[33]], [[Act of Contrition]]). The battlestar provides much of the Fleet with recycled water ([[Water]]) and she is the primary source of medical care, where groups of civilians are periodically brought aboard for check-ups and treatment ([[Litmus]]). ''Galactica'' also undertakes internal policing duties within the Fleet ([[Water]], [[Bastille Day]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' successfully goes on the offensive against the Cylons, capturing a [[tylium]] fuel mining and processing plant in the process ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).<br />
<br />
The [[Mercury class battlestar|advanced battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', commanded by Admiral [[Helena Cain]], joins ''Galactica'' approximately 6 months into their exile (See the series [[Timeline (RDM)|timeline]] for special information about this milestone).<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica'' destroy two [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] as well as a critical Cylon support ship known as the [[Resurrection Ship]]. After Admiral Cain's death, President [[Laura Roslin]] promotes William Adama to Admiral, restoring him to overall Fleet command, but now with two battlestars at his disposal ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===New Caprica===<br />
Following the founding of [[New Caprica]], ''Galactica'' is assigned to the Orbital Defense Force that protects the planet. During this time the majority of its crew are sent to the surface in an effort to populate the planet and restore the human race – including most of its senior officers &mdash; seemingly convinced that the Cylons would never find New Caprica. The diminished staff inevitably results in basic maintenance becoming overlooked or ignored. Basic military responses, such as the launching of alert fighers and routine training exercises become difficult to execute. One year following the founding of New Caprica, a fleet of Cylon ships jump into orbit of the planet. Severely limited in its abilities, Admiral Adama and the Defense Fleet jumps away from New Caprica &mdash; vowing that they'd return to liberate the planet ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===[[Battle of New Caprica]]===<br />
Four months after the escape, ''Galactica'''s staff is still in the process of developing a rescue strategy with 16 training exercises having been completed and a 17th underway when an accident causes its early ending ([[Occupation]]). This forces both a change in strategy and the reformulation of a rescue plan to deal with personnel who have not seen conflict in 16 months. While ''Galactica'' fights to liberate the Colonials on-planet, ''Pegasus'' is assigned to protect the remaining civilian fleet and continue its search for [[Earth]] ("[[Precipice]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]").<br />
<br />
Coordinating with the New Caprica Resistance, ''Galactica'' deploys several waves of Vipers and Raptors to launch an offensive against the Cylons. As the resistance bombs Cylon facilities on the ground, Raptors deploy decoy drones to make it appear as if both ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'' jumped into orbit. The Cylons reposition their forces to engage the decoys, while ''Galactica'' jumps into the atmosphere of the planet. ''Galactica'' deploys several squadrons as she falls to the surface, but takes severe damage from the atmospheric entry. Once back in orbit of the planet, the damage is ascertained as the Cylons close in. Close to death, ''Galactica'' survives thanks to the intervention of ''Pegasus''. Her [[FTL|FTL drives]] once again functioning, ''Galactica'' is able to escape from the system and reunites with the fleet, now the sole military vessel again after the destruction of ''Pegasus'' during the battle ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' from this point forward bears the scars of this battle, significant scorching to the hull and the armour is visible. It has not been directly acknowledged whether this has affected ''Galactica'''s combat abilities or her [[FTL]]. However ''Galactica'' is still able to make combat jumps and hold off a superior Cylon force for a short duration in the [[Battle_of_NCD2539|Battle of NCD2539]] ([[A Measure of Salvation]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
[[Image:BSG-KEW-Turret.jpg|thumb|One of ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> large cannon [[battery|turrets]]]]<br />
''Galactica'' shares the same overall technical specifications as other original Colonial battlestars of [[Galactica type battlestar|her class]], with the following key differences and qualifications:<br />
<br />
===Available Flight Pods===<br />
As part of its decommissioning, ''Galactica's'' port [[flight pod]] was the only one in service. The starboard flight pod was enclosed and pressurized as the [[Galactica Museum|main museum display]] for her pending decommission. It is violently depressurized after a [[Heavy Raider]] crashes into it ([[Scattered]]).<br />
<br />
By the time of the exodus from [[New Caprica]], the starboard hangar deck is being used as a temporary [[Camp Oil Slick|housing facility]] for refugees ([[Exodus, Part II]]). The starboard flight pod is apparently brought back to working flight recovery, as Major Lee Adama directs his Raptor boarding team to approach and land in the starboard pod ([[A Measure of Salvation]]).<br />
<br />
===Nuclear Warheads===<br />
''Galactica'' had five nuclear warheads as of "[[Bastille Day]]." Commander [[William Adama]] uses one warhead to destroy a Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]). Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] cannibalizes one to use in his [[Cylon Detector]], which he later gives to [[Gina]], who detonates it aboard ''[[Cloud Nine]]''. This leaves ''Galactica'' with three warheads (It is unknown how many nuclear warheads ''Pegasus'' still had when it encountered ''Galactica'', and they may have pooled their nuclear ordnance stockpiles since then). As of "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", Galactica has at least seven warheads ([[Missile tubes|launch tubes]] 4 through 10) attached to missiles that can be used for ground assault.<br />
<br />
:''The yield of these weapons is unknown. It is likely they are of a "dial a yield" design which is common in real-life nuclear weapons. Because the "physics" of nuclear weapon design is a measureable science, and based on the size of the weapon seen in ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]), it is likely the yield of Galactica's weapons are between 5 and 150kt. This is extrapolated from the size of the weapon, compared to a modern day ([[w:W80|W80]])-class nuclear warhead used by the United States.''<br />
<br />
<br />
===Available spacecraft===<br />
<br />
:''For information on the fighter squadrons stationed on ''Galactica'' see: [[Squadrons of Galactica]]''<br />
<br />
====Vipers====<br />
[[Image:Mini gal side viper.jpg|right|thumb|A stricken and slowly spinning ''Galactica'' after a nuclear missile strike. [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck's]] [[Viper Mark II|Viper]] closes in to survey.]]<br />
<br />
Prior to the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', ''Galactica'' has at maximum thirty-four Vipers, of which at least six are Mark VIIs (c.f. [[Viper tally]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' receives additional supplies from ''Pegasus'' since her arrival that helps in repair and refurbishment of her original fighter complement; more recently, she receives new Mark VII Vipers built aboard ''Pegasus'' using raw materials mined from an asteroid and the advanced battlestar's Viper construction facilities ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus,]] [[Scar]]).<br />
<br />
====Raptors====<br />
The number of [[Raptor|Raptors]] available to ''Galactica'' is portrayed inconsistently. The current assumption is that the battlestar has at least five Raptors, having left [[Ragnar Anchorage]] with at least eight (c.f. [[Raptor tally]]).<br />
<br />
====Other Craft====<br />
*''Galactica'' currently posesses two [[Heavy Raider|Heavy Raiders]]. One is hit by ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> defensive fire and crashes into the starboard flight pod with unknown damage ([[Scattered]]). The other returns in operational status from Caprica ([[Home, Part I]]). One of ''Galactica'''s [[Heavy Raider]]s is relieved of its FTL navigation system for use on the rescue mission to [[Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br />
*A second [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]] is in ''Galactica's'' possession after [[Daniel Novacek]]'s "escape" from a basestar ([[Hero]]), replacing the one retrieved by [[Kara Thrace]] and lost during the quest for the [[Arrow of Apollo]] ([[Scattered]]).<br />
*An experimental stealth fighter, the [[Blackbird]], is constructed using spare parts ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]) and used in a critically successful reconnaissance mission to explore the nature of what comes to be known as the [[Resurrection Ship]]. The Blackbird is later destroyed after completing her last mission during the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]] ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
*''Galactica'' possesses fuel tankers used to supply fuel to Vipers and Raptors in flight without the need to dock with the ship. These may be dedicated craft or specially fitted shuttles or Raptors ([[Occupation]]).<br />
<br />
== Crew ==<br />
''For information on the Senior Staff on Galactica see: [[Senior Staff of Galactica]]'' <br />
<br />
Before the attack, ''Galactica'' has approximately 2,800 crewmen, while awaiting its decommissioning. By the time of the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', attrition has reduced this number to about 2,660. (c.f. [[Crew tally]])<br />
*Between "[[Act of Contrition]]" and "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]" ''Galactica's'' offensive capability is also greatly hampered by the number of [[List of Pilots|qualified pilots]] available, and their lack of flight simulators with which to train more. Since ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> reunion with ''Pegasus'', this has ceased to be an issue ([[Scar]]).<br />

All ships, with ''Galactica'' last to leave the engagement zone, escape to a destination past the [[Red Line]], never to return to Colonial space. <br />
<br />
Since the exodus of the Colonials from their overrun homeworlds, ''Galactica'' becomes both protector and provider for the Fleet. She provides covering fire for the Fleet during Cylon attacks no fewer than 240 times ([[33]], [[Act of Contrition]]). The battlestar provides much of the Fleet with recycled water ([[Water]]) and she is the primary source of medical care, where groups of civilians are periodically brought aboard for check-ups and treatment ([[Litmus]]). ''Galactica'' also undertakes internal policing duties within the Fleet ([[Water]], [[Bastille Day]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' successfully goes on the offensive against the Cylons, capturing a [[tylium]] fuel mining and processing plant in the process ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).<br />
<br />
The [[Mercury class battlestar|advanced battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', commanded by Admiral [[Helena Cain]], joins ''Galactica'' approximately 6 months into their exile (See the series [[Timeline (RDM)|timeline]] for special information about this milestone).<br />
<br />
''Pegasus'' and ''Galactica'' destroy two [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]] as well as a critical Cylon support ship known as the [[Resurrection Ship]]. After Admiral Cain's death, President [[Laura Roslin]] promotes William Adama to Admiral, restoring him to overall Fleet command, but now with two battlestars at his disposal ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===New Caprica===<br />
Following the founding of [[New Caprica]], ''Galactica'' is assigned to the Orbital Defense Force that protects the planet. During this time the majority of its crew are sent to the surface in an effort to populate the planet and restore the human race – including most of its senior officers &mdash; seemingly convinced that the Cylons would never find New Caprica. The diminished staff inevitably results in basic maintenance becoming overlooked or ignored. Basic military responses, such as the launching of alert fighers and routine training exercises become difficult to execute. One year following the founding of New Caprica, a fleet of Cylon ships jump into orbit of the planet. Severely limited in its abilities, Admiral Adama and the Defense Fleet jumps away from New Caprica &mdash; vowing that they'd return to liberate the planet ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
===[[Battle of New Caprica]]===<br />
Four months after the escape, ''Galactica'''s staff is still in the process of developing a rescue strategy with 16 training exercises having been completed and a 17th underway when an accident causes its early ending ([[Occupation]]). This forces both a change in strategy and the reformulation of a rescue plan to deal with personnel who have not seen conflict in 16 months. While ''Galactica'' fights to liberate the Colonials on-planet, ''Pegasus'' is assigned to protect the remaining civilian fleet and continue its search for [[Earth]] ("[[Precipice]]", "[[Exodus, Part I]]").<br />
<br />
Coordinating with the New Caprica Resistance, ''Galactica'' deploys several waves of Vipers and Raptors to launch an offensive against the Cylons. As the resistance bombs Cylon facilities on the ground, Raptors deploy decoy drones to make it appear as if both ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'' jumped into orbit. The Cylons reposition their forces to engage the decoys, while ''Galactica'' jumps into the atmosphere of the planet. ''Galactica'' deploys several squadrons as she falls to the surface, but takes severe damage from the atmospheric entry. Once back in orbit of the planet, the damage is ascertained as the Cylons close in. Close to death, ''Galactica'' survives thanks to the intervention of ''Pegasus''. Her [[FTL|FTL drives]] once again functioning, ''Galactica'' is able to escape from the system and reunites with the fleet, now the sole military vessel again after the destruction of ''Pegasus'' during the battle ([[Exodus, Part II]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' from this point forward bears the scars of this battle, significant scorching to the hull and the armour is visible. It has not been directly acknowledged whether this has affected ''Galactica'''s combat abilities or her [[FTL]]. However ''Galactica'' is still able to make combat jumps and hold off a superior Cylon force for a short duration in the [[Battle_of_NCD2539|Battle of NCD2539]] ([[A Measure of Salvation]]).<br />
<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
[[Image:BSG-KEW-Turret.jpg|thumb|One of ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> large cannon [[battery|turrets]]]]<br />
''Galactica'' shares the same overall technical specifications as other original Colonial battlestars of [[Galactica type battlestar|her class]], with the following key differences and qualifications:<br />
<br />
===Available Flight Pods===<br />
As part of its decommissioning, ''Galactica's'' port [[flight pod]] was the only one in service. The starboard flight pod was enclosed and pressurized as the [[Galactica Museum|main museum display]] for her pending decommission. It is violently depressurized after a [[Heavy Raider]] crashes into it ([[Scattered]]).<br />
<br />
By the time of the exodus from [[New Caprica]], the starboard hangar deck is being used as a temporary [[Camp Oil Slick|housing facility]] for refugees ([[Exodus, Part II]]). The starboard flight pod is apparently brought back to working flight recovery, as Major Lee Adama directs his Raptor boarding team to approach and land in the starboard pod ([[A Measure of Salvation]]).<br />
<br />
===Nuclear Warheads===<br />
''Galactica'' had five nuclear warheads as of "[[Bastille Day]]." Commander [[William Adama]] uses one warhead to destroy a Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]). Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] cannibalizes one to use in his [[Cylon Detector]], which he later gives to [[Gina]], who detonates it aboard ''[[Cloud Nine]]''. This leaves ''Galactica'' with three warheads (It is unknown how many nuclear warheads ''Pegasus'' still had when it encountered ''Galactica'', and they may have pooled their nuclear ordnance stockpiles since then). As of "[[The Eye of Jupiter]]", Galactica has at least seven warheads ([[Missile tubes|launch tubes]] 4 through 10) attached to missiles that can be used for ground assault.<br />
<br />
:''The yield of these weapons is unknown. It is likely they are of a "dial a yield" design which is common in real-life nuclear weapons. Because the "physics" of nuclear weapon design is a measureable science, and based on the size of the weapon seen in ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]), it is likely the yield of Galactica's weapons are between 5 and 150kt. This is extrapolated from the size of the weapon, compared to a modern day ([[w:W80|W80]])-class nuclear warhead used by the United States.''<br />
<br />
<br />
===Available spacecraft===<br />
<br />
:''For information on the fighter squadrons stationed on ''Galactica'' see: [[Squadrons of Galactica]]''<br />
<br />
====Vipers====<br />
Prior to the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', ''Galactica'' has at maximum thirty-four Vipers, of which at least six are Mark VIIs (c.f. [[Viper tally]]).<br />
<br />
''Galactica'' receives additional supplies from ''Pegasus'' since her arrival that helps in repair and refurbishment of her original fighter complement; more recently, she receives new Mark VII Vipers built aboard ''Pegasus'' using raw materials mined from an asteroid and the advanced battlestar's Viper construction facilities ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus,]] [[Scar]]).<br />
<br />
====Raptors====<br />
The number of [[Raptor|Raptors]] available to ''Galactica'' is portrayed inconsistently. The current assumption is that the battlestar has at least five Raptors, having left [[Ragnar Anchorage]] with at least eight (c.f. [[Raptor tally]]).<br />
<br />
====Other Craft====<br />
*''Galactica'' currently posesses two [[Heavy Raider|Heavy Raiders]]. One is hit by ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> defensive fire and crashes into the starboard flight pod with unknown damage ([[Scattered]]). The other returns in operational status from Caprica ([[Home, Part I]]). One of ''Galactica'''s [[Heavy Raider]]s is relieved of its FTL navigation system for use on the rescue mission to [[Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br />
*A second [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]] is in ''Galactica's'' possession after [[Daniel Novacek]]'s "escape" from a basestar ([[Hero]]), replacing the one retrieved by [[Kara Thrace]] and lost during the quest for the [[Arrow of Apollo]] ([[Scattered]]).<br />
*An experimental stealth fighter, the [[Blackbird]], is constructed using spare parts ([[Flight of the Phoenix]]) and used in a critically successful reconnaissance mission to explore the nature of what comes to be known as the [[Resurrection Ship]]. The Blackbird is later destroyed after completing her last mission during the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]] ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).<br />
*''Galactica'' possesses fuel tankers used to supply fuel to Vipers and Raptors in flight without the need to dock with the ship. These may be dedicated craft or specially fitted shuttles or Raptors ([[Occupation]]).<br />
<br />
== Crew ==<br />
''For information on the Senior Staff on Galactica see: [[Senior Staff of Galactica]]'' <br />
<br />
Before the attack, ''Galactica'' has approximately 2,800 crewmen, while awaiting its decommissioning. By the time of the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', attrition has reduced this number to about 2,660. (c.f. [[Crew tally]])<br />
*Between "[[Act of Contrition]]" and "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]" ''Galactica's'' offensive capability is also greatly hampered by the number of [[List of Pilots|qualified pilots]] available, and their lack of flight simulators with which to train more. Since ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> reunion with ''Pegasus'', this has ceased to be an issue ([[Scar]]).<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:ViperWepsSchool_AoC.JPG|thumb|right|2nd Fighter Squadron and Viper Weapons School crests ([[Act of Contrition]]).]]<br />
Numerous squadron insignia are visible on the walls of the pilots' [[Pilot ready rooms|ready room]] on [[Galactica (RDM)|''Galactica'']]. The squadrons can contain both [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] and [[Raptor]] pilots.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that these are purely organizational in nature. In combat, Viper squadrons are color-coded; for example [[Blue Squadron (RDM)|Blue Squadron]]. These designations could be [[wireless]] code names that are assigned on an ad-hoc basis as needed for each mission.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, it is likely that not all visible squadrons are active. Given the relatively low number of Vipers on ''Galactica'' compared to her standard operational status with two active flightpods, it is possible that some of these squadrons served on ''Galactica'' during the battlestar's long history, but have since been assigned elsewhere or disbanded. This could be the case with Primus squadron which served in the first [[Cylon War]] and whose patches might have been kept for historical or nostalgic reasons.<br />
<br />
The squadron patches are numbered in sequence beginning with 1 (Primus). The exception is the Viper Weapons School patch, a golden version of the standard Viper patch. <br />
<br />
Known Squadrons include:<br />
*Fighter Squadron 1 Primus<br />
*Fighter Squadron 3 Vigilantes<br />
*Fighter Squadron 4 Demons<br />
*Fighter Squadron 6 Vampires<br />
*Fighter Squadron 7 Battleaxe<br />
<br />
Of note, the standard Raptor patch is labeled "Fighter Squadron 10 Raptors".<br />
<br />
<div style="clear: both;"></div><br />
== Primus ==<br />
[[Image:Primusphoto.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Primus patch is visible in this old photo of William Adama.]]<br />
'''Primus''' is the name of the 1st Viper Squadron of the [[Colonial Fleet]], although it is unknown if it is still in active service.<br />
<br />
[[William Adama]] was a member of this fighter group, in addition to other pilots from the [[Cylon War]] era such as [[Raymond Lai]]. The logo of this group is adorned prominently on the nose of many restored [[Viper Mark II]] fighters that were to occupy the [[Galactica Museum]].<br />
<br />
A photo of a younger William Adama and his two boys, [[Zak Adama|Zak]] and [[Lee Adama|Lee]], shows the Primus logo on his jumpsuit and his old fighter, [[Viper 7242]].<br />
<br />
== Vigilantes ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Vigil Mini.JPG|thumb|Vigilantes squadron crest in Colonel Tigh's quarters ([[Miniseries]]).]]<br />
<br />
The Vigilantes, 3rd Viper Squadron, is a long-established unit in the [[Colonial Fleet]] before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. Given that the squadron's logo adorns a wall in the quarters of Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] (a commanding officer long removed from pilot service), it is likely that Tigh served as a member of the Vigilantes as a Viper pilot in the first Cylon War.<br />
<br />
Captain [[Kara Thrace]] is a member of the Vigilantes ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br />
<br />
[[Jackson Spencer]], the former [[CAG]] of ''Galactica'', is also a member of the Vigilantes. He and his squadron were completely destroyed by [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raiders]] during the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies. The only known survivors at this time are Thrace, who was in the brig for striking a [[Saul Tigh|superior officer]], and the crew of the [[Raptor]] supporting the squadron, [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica Copy)|Sharon Valerii]] and [[Karl Agathon|Karl Agathon]]. It is unknown if the Raptor crew was part of the squadron or just assigned to support it ([[Miniseries]]).<br />
<br />
The first class of [[Nugget|nuggets]] fly as members of this squadron ([[Act of Contrition]]).<br />
<br />
[[Margaret Edmondson]] and [[Hamish McCall]], [[Raptor]] pilots, are both members of the Vigilantes ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br />
<br />
===Known Members===<br />
*[[Jackson Spencer|Jackson "Ripper" Spencer]]<br />
*[[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]]<br />
*[[Louanne Katraine|Louanne "Kat" Katraine]]<br />
*[[Brendan Constanza|Brendan "Hot Dog" Constanza]]<br />
*[[Margaret Edmondson|Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson]]<br />
*[[Hamish McCall|Hamish "Skulls" McCall]]<br />
