On behalf of the officers and crew of the Pegasus...it's a pleasure to see all of you. Welcome back to the Colonial Fleet.
- Admiral Helena Cain, "Pegasus"
For nearly half a year following the destruction of the Twelve Colonies, the crew of the Battlestar
Galactica
defended the last remaining human survivors in existence. Then, all at once, salvation appeared in the form of the Battlestar
Pegasus
. At nearly twice the size of Galactica, with upgraded weapons batteries and a newer, larger fleet of Vipers and Raptors, the fleet was now safer...
...or so they thought.
This fall brings the first expansion for
Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game
. The
Pegasus
expansion adds two new supplemental game boards featuring the Battlestar
Pegasus
and the planet New Caprica, seven new characters, two plastic Basestars, as well as new Destination, Crisis, Loyalty, Quorum, Super Crisis, and Skill cards.
The new
Pegasus
board can be used by itself or together with the New Caprica board to create the game you desire – the
Pegasus
alone for the additional firepower she provides, or add the New Caprica board to simulate the rebellion on the new human colony, bringing the game to an epic level.
New rules introduce the ability to play as a new character type – the
Cylon Leader
, with a new
Treachery
Skill card type.
I am a flag officer on detached service during a time of war. Regulations give me broad authority in this matter.

Launch the fighters.

How will the crews of
Galactica
and
Pegasus
mesh when they join each other on your game table? Will the Cylons be able to subjugate the human rebellion on New Caprica? Will an outed Cylon Leader be able to vent the humans into space, giving the toasters control over the galaxy?
Pegasus
will be FTL jumping into your friendly local game store this Fall. Be on the lookout for previews leading up to the expansion's release.
So say we all!
