==Pegasus's Size== | |||
Is Pegasus really bigger than Galactica? Galactica looks way bigger, in terms of length and width. There are shots of them flying in a staggered formation, with Galactica on the top and behind Pegasus, and it definitely looks bigger. Pegasus may have more landing bays and 8 engines as opposed to 6, but i dont know if its bigger. [[User:GalacticaActual|GalacticaActual]] 1:00, 10 October 2009 (EDT) | |||

I don't think Pegasus is bigger. It doesn't look much bigger, and the "twice the size of Galactica" line said by Cain was only in the extended DVD edition of "Pegasus". The way I see it, Galactica-type battlestars are considered "heavy" defensive battlestars, Mercury-class are "medium" or "heavy" offense battlestars, and Valkyrie-types are "light" multirole battlestars.

==Skeleton Crew at the Battle of New Caprica== | |||
I added in that the Pegasus had a skeleton crew at the Battle of New Caprica, as only 2-3 Raptors are seen exiting the Pegasus port flight pod before it crashes into a basestar, and it doesn't seem to make sense that Lee Adama would send the ship in with the entire crew, if it was going to be destroyed. They wouldn't be able to evacuate the ship in time. He would have only needed personnel for propulsion, navigation and weapons, and left all non-essential personnel with the Fleet.

Pegasus's Size[edit]
Is Pegasus really bigger than Galactica? Galactica looks way bigger, in terms of length and width. There are shots of them flying in a staggered formation, with Galactica on the top and behind Pegasus, and it definitely looks bigger. Pegasus may have more landing bays and 8 engines as opposed to 6, but i dont know if its bigger. GalacticaActual 1:00, 10 October 2009 (EDT)
- I wouldn't put stock in that footage, particularly due to lens distortion, perspective issues, and other factors generated in CGI. Further, since we don't know the exact distance between the two ships when these shots were taken, going by that evidence would be folly. Go by what was told in dialogue and what Mojo has to say on the subject. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 20:09, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Skeleton Crew at the Battle of New Caprica[edit]
I added in that the Pegasus had a skeleton crew at the Battle of New Caprica, as only 2-3 Raptors are seen exiting the Pegasus port flight pod before it crashes into a basestar, and it doesn't seem to make sense that Lee Adama would send the ship in with the entire crew, if it was going to be destroyed.

- I think we should reference that it bears a similar shape of the original Galactica. QX100 16:32, 29 September 2005 (EDT)
- Don't all Battlestars? Or do you mean more similar than the new Galactica herself? --April Arcus 22:40, 29 September 2005 (EDT)

Fleet unit[edit]
I couldn't make it out - I believe the Pegasus was assigned to the 62nd Battlestar Group, but I can't be sure. Kuralyov 13:34, 24 September 2005 (EDT)
Pegasus Battle Group[edit]
It belonged to BSG 62
- That's what I pointed out on the 87th BSG page before it got deleted. --Talos 07:56, 28 September 2005 (EDT)
- That's what it looks like to me as well. I think that we should move the BSG 75 page to just "BSG" and note it there, though, not on its own page. --April Arcus 10:56, 28 September 2005 (EDT)
Its BSG 62...not BSG63.--Strato 11:56, 28 September 2005 (EDT)
the CNP[edit]
Did pegasus have it and when do you think they got rid of it? --Alex mcpherson 13:02, 28 September 2005 (EDT)
Ron Moore's podcast mentions that in a cut scene, Cain explains that their computer systems were offline for the refit. --April Arcus 16:50, 28 September 2005 (EDT)

It would have been impossible for Pegasus to fight Cylons otherwise. Spencerian 17:22, 28 September 2005 (EDT)
- The CNP was quite new at the time of the mini-series. Maybe it was scheduled to be installed during the refit. --April Arcus 18:44, 28 September 2005 (EDT)
- Thats all i needed to know. so Mercury-class dont have it for those that hadnt been refitted yet. that means there could be other battlestars out there..

Gina's Origin[edit]
Gina's origin was never stated in the episode. I know that this was widely speculated on spoiler sites prior to the episode, but that doesn't count for much. Maybe we'll learn more about her later. --April Arcus 19:59, 1 October 2005 (EDT)
