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 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, 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 Pegasus, was destroyed. 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, battlestar Pegasus is the second of only two battlestars known to have survived the Cylon Attack.
Pegasus first encounters Galactica in The Living Legend.
At that time, two of Cain's key 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 Basestars to permit the Galactica and the Fleet to escape.
The question of the survival of Cain and his battlestar remains in doubt.
Commander Cain's daughter, Lieutenant Sheba, remains with Galactica after Pegasus disappears, as does Lieutenant Bojay.
Count Iblis mentions to Sheba in War of the Gods, Part II that she would see her father again.
Notes[edit]
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.
