Overview[edit]

Battlestar Pegasus is a Colonial battlestar that has not been canonized in the Re-Imagined Battlestar Galactica at this time.

However, given the frequency that this ship (and possible plotlines surrounding it) have been mentioned, this page has been erected.

From the Original[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.

From the Re-Imagining[edit]

As stated, it is unknown whether there was (or is) even a Battlestar Pegasus. However...

Notes[edit]

From RDM's blog:

We have discussed the Pegasus storyline for a couple of years now. It's still tooling around inside my brain, but I haven't settled on a take yet. Call it a strong possibility at this point. No plans to see any other battlestars at present.

History of "Pegasus"[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.
