- This page is about the battlestar. For the episode, see Pegasus (episode).
Re-Imagined Series[edit]
Chief Tyrol mentioned during his interrogation by Colonel Tigh that he served aboard a number of Battlestars in his military career, including the Pegasus. There is a good possibility that he was familiar with her crew ("Resistance").
Original Series[edit]
Pegasus was the second battlestar known to have survived the Cylon Attack. It was commanded by Commander Cain, whom Viper pilots Bojay and Sheba served under. It was the only surviving ship from the Battle of Molecay, meeting up with the Galactica in The Living Legend.
The military genius Cain lead the ship against two Cylon Basestars to permit the Galactica and the Fleet to escape. The question of the survival of Cain and his battlestar was always in doubt, though it is generally assumed by the fandom that the ship survived.
Greek Parallels[edit]
Pegasus is derived from the Greek mythos. Pegasus was a winged horse-god who was the foal of Posideon; this image of a winged horse is emblematic on the Viper Helmet of Pegasus's pilots in The Living Legend.
