"Pegasus" is the tenth episode of the second season of the reimagined ''Battlestar Galactica'' television series. It aired originally on the Sci Fi Channel on September 23, 2005. Following "Pegasus", the series went on hiatus until January 2006. In the episode, the human fleet encounters the Battlestar ''Pegasus'', commanded by Admiral Helena Cain. She assumes command of the fleet. Gaius Baltar discovers that ''Pegasus'' crew members have been raping and torturing a Cylon prisoner. Cain sentences Helo and Chief Galen Tyrol to death after they accidentally kill a ''Pegasus'' officer who was preparing to rape Sharon. In response, Commander William Adama orders Vipers to escort Marines to ''Pegasus''. Cain orders her own Vipers to intercept as the episode ends. "Pegasus" was nominated for the 2006 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. It received critical acclaim. ==Plot== A large unknown ship appears on ''Galactica''s DRADIS. After a tense moment, the ship is identified as the Battlestar ''Pegasus'', a Colonial vessel previously believed destroyed in the Cylon attack on the Colonies. Cain boards ''Galactica'' with an armed escort and welcomes the crew "back to the Colonial Fleet." Cain relates to Adama and President Laura Roslin how she ordered a risky maneuver to escape the initial Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies. Adama recognizes Cain as his superior, but Cain promises not to interfere with ''Galactica''s internal affairs. Cain declines to resupply the fleet's civilian ships and integrates the battlestars' crews, transferring Apollo and Starbuck to ''Pegasus'' over Commander Adama's objections. Cain's executive officer, Colonel Jack Fisk, tells Colonel Saul Tigh how Cain shot his predecessor for refusing an order. Fisk claims his story is a joke, but Tigh believes it is true and relates the story to Adama. Adama reiterates his willingness to follow Cain, to both Roslin and Tigh, and insists that Apollo and Starbuck obey their transfer orders. Baltar visits Gina,〔She is not named in the episode; executive producer Ronald D. Moore gave the name in his podcast commentary on "Pegasus". 〕 a Number Six copy held prisoner aboard ''Pegasus''. He and Head Six are horrified to discover that the ''Pegasus'' crew has systematically tortured and raped Gina. Baltar attempts to establish a rapport with Gina by providing food and confessing to his involvement with another Six copy on Caprica. Helo and Tyrol rescue Sharon from imminent rape by a ''Pegasus'' interrogator but accidentally kill the interrogator in the process. Cain denies Adama's request that Helo and Tyrol be given a jury court-martial and sentences them both to death for murder and treason. Adama demands that Cain return them to ''Galactica'' and orders Vipers to escort a Marine assault team to ''Pegasus''. Cain refuses and sends the ''Pegasus'' Vipers to intercept ''Galactica''s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pegasus (Battlestar Galactica)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
