The crew of the Battlestar Galactica will discover that theirs isn't the last surviving battlestar of the Twelve Colonies in an upcoming episode of the series, GateWorld has learned. Inspired by the original series episode "Living Legend" starring Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain, "Pegasus" will air mid-way through the show's second season.
Beware of spoilers in the report below!
President Laura Roslin, Apollo, and Starbuck have returned to the fleet, and apparently patched things up with Commander Adama. Roslin is recognized as the President again, and must step up to the plate when the Galactica encounters another battlestar roaming the stars. It is the Battlestar Pegasus, a Mercury-class battlestar more advanced than the Galactica, commanded by female Admiral Nelena Cain.
Cain tells Adama and Roslin that the Battlestar Pegasus was docking at the Scorpion Fleet Shipyard, its crew preparing for an extended shore leave when the Cylon attack began. The Cylons nuked the shipyard without warning, destroying other battlestars and killing a quarter of the Pegasus's crew in a moment. To save the ship and the surviving crew, Cain ordered a blind jump -- no calculations, no direction. The ship could have ended up anywhere.
In the many weeks since, Cain and the Pegasus have had their share of run-ins with the Cylons. A humanoid Cylon came on board the ship at Scorpion disguised as a civilian dock worker and became friends with the crew, only to betray them later. Another 800 died when the Cylons were tipped off and boarded the Pegasus.
After catching up, Cain and Adama begin to discuss the fleet's future -- and Roslin realizes that Adama reports to the Admiral. Cain is in charge now. Laura is somewhat trepidatious, but very glad to have the lost ship back with them. Cain informs the commander that a Cylon fleet they have been tracking -- including two base ships, support ships, and one massive vessel they could not identify -- has been following the Galactica.
Cain intends to combine their forces for an all-out attack on the large ship, and Adama doesn't hesitate to agree. But there is one catch: After reviewing the Galactica's mission logs, the Admiral intends to integrate the crews and reassign some personnel to the Pegasus ... including Starbuck and Apollo.
The decisions send tensions into the statosphere, as Kara and Lee balk at the new orders. And when a lieutenant is assaulted and killed, both Helo and Chief Tyrol are arrested for courts martial. The Admiral's decision regarding their trial and their fate fractures the tenuous relationship between the two battlestars, forcing Adama to take drastic measures for his men.
Guest characters include Admiral Nelena Cain, Stinger (a pilot from the Pegasus, perhaps its CAG), Fisk, Lieutenant Thorne (the assault victim), Gina (a female Cylon captured by the Pegasus and studied by Baltar), and Petty Officer Hoshi (a Pegasus CIC officer).
"Pegasus" is the first of a multi-part episode, ending on a tense cliffhanger. It is not yet known whether this will serve as the mid-season finale in September, though the gravity of the story makes this likely.

Synopsis: The Battlestar Pegasus, thought to be destroyed in the original Cylon attack, stumbles upon the Galactica. The commander of the Pegasus, Admiral Cain, is Adama's superior and takes command, also deciding to make some major changes to the Galactica's crew. Tension mounts and violence ensues, with the two ships eventually becoming involved in a firefight and the Galactica at a serious disadvantage...

*Galactica enounters another Battleship, a far more technologically advanced one. It's led by former Commander Cain, now Admiral. Somewhere early in the ep, Kara apparently "waxes" the Pegasus CAG. Not sure what this means.
*Admiral Cain is a very strong and imposing woman. She immediately assumes command of the Fleet, much to Roslin's surprise and dismay. At first, Adama doesn't put up any resistance due to the fact that Cain says she will not interfere with inter-ship politics. This rather quickly becomes obviously untrue.
*She reassigns Lee to the Pegasus flight group, calling him insubordinate and mutinous(which are apparently quotes from Adama's logs). I THINK she also reassigns Kara but I couldn't be certain. Suffice it to say, Kara and Lee- who come to Adama to argue against the transfers- are none too pleased.
*Helo and Tyrol do SOMETHING that gets them arrested and thrown in front of Cain to stand trial. Apparently it involves the death of one of her men and she sentences them to death. Adama tells her that he will not allow her to execute his men.
*The episode ends with the Galactica and the Pegasus pointed at each other, ready to go too far. I believe this is the final ep of the first half of season 2.
