Overview

Tensions run high when the Pegasus, a battlestar more advanced than the Galactica, is found -- only to have Admiral Nelena Cain usurp command of the fleet and foist her demands on those under her new command.

Summary

• The Pegasus, a Mercury-class battlestar, has joined the fleet. She survived the attack by blind-jumping as the Cylons attacked the Scorpion Ship Yards.
• A Cylon fleet, comprised of two basestars, support ships and a large mothership of unknown purpose have been trailing the fleet -- and detected by Cain and the Pegasus.
• Upon assuming command of the fleet, Cain begins moving crew members around, transferring Lee Adama and Kara Thrace to the Pegasus.
• Helo and Galen Tyrol discover that Gina, the Cylon prisoner aboard the Pegasus, was raped by the crew as a form of torture. They rush to Galactica's brig, where a Pegasus lieutenant, Thorne, is about to rape Sharon. Tyrol throws Thorne against a bulkhead, killing him. The pair are arrested for court martial.

Notes

• Population count is 49,605, a dramatic increase of 1,752 since the 47,853 count in Flight of the Phoenix, undoubtedly to account for the addition of Battlestar Pegasus and her crew to the Colonial fleet.
  • Even accounting for Pegasus's losses, this is curiously smaller than Galactica's original crew of 2,800.
• Nelena Cain is the female version of Cain, who was portrayed by the late Lloyd Bridges in the original Battlestar Galactica.
• This episode is inspired by the two part episode, "The Living Legend".
• "Pegasus" apparently starts a multi-episode arc and is slated to air mid-way in the second season.
• "Gina" is a variant of Number Six who has lost her faith. She posed as a civilian dock worker who was rescued by the Pegasus and was responsible for tipping off the Cylons -- killing 800 of the Pegasus crew in the process.
• Ronald D. Moore also wrote another episode called The Pegasus, in the seventh season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
