are you alive?

A philosopher once said: “When faced with untenable alternatives you should consider your imperative.” Look around you. Our imperative is right here, in our bulkheads, in our planes, in our guns and in ourselves. War is our imperative. And if right now victory seems like an impossibility, then we have something else to reach for: revenge. Payback. So we will fight. Because in the end it’s the only alternative our enemies have left us. I say let’s make these murdering things understand that as long as this crew and this ship survive, that this war, that they started, will not be over. Thank you.

The Pegasus is a Mercury Class Battlestar, built some time after the First Cylon War. She is equipped with twin flight pods and four flight decks, and carries ten squadrons of Mark VII Vipers. Her defences include thirty-four primary batteries, numerous point-defense cannons, missile tubes and electronic countermeasures. She has been known to sustain multiple nuclear hits. Her systems are fully networked. Prior to the fall of the Colonies, the ship was to undergo a complete overhaul of her facilities. Her full crew compliment is approximately 2500. The Fleet nicknames her “The Beast.”
