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, until later using them for Pegasus. The sets were then radically redesigned and painted to give them the aesthetic look of ''Galactica'', but sleeker and more advanced. | 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.

Revision as of 17:14, 30 September 2005
This page is about the Battlestar Pegasus of the New Series. For the episode, see Pegasus (episode). For information on the Original Series Battlestar of the same name, see Battlestar (TOS).
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 a woman named Gina, who turned out to be a Cylon agent. Gina alerted the Cylons to the location of Pegasus, and the subsequent attack resulted in hundreds of crew's deaths. Gina was later apprehended. Some time later, as Pegasus tracked a Cylon fleet, it accidentally encountered the fleet led by Galactica. ("Pegasus")
Chief Tyrol mentioned during his interrogation by Colonel Tigh that he served aboard a number of Battlestars in his military career, including Pegasus. ("Resistance") Despite her familiarity with him, Admiral Cain had no reservations sentencing him and Karl Agathon to death when they inadvertently killed Lieutenant Thorne, Cain's chief "Cylon interrogator". ("Pegasus")
Notes
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, until later using them for Pegasus. The sets were then radically redesigned and painted to give them the aesthetic look of Galactica, but sleeker and more advanced.
