ShipSpotlight-Pegasus

The USS Pegasus, CL-2500 is the First Starship to bear this name. She is named after the winged horse in Greek mythology. It is believed that Pegasus carried Zeus' lightning bolts in such a faithful manner that he was rewarded by being made into a constellation.

The USS Pegasus, CL-2500, is the latest addition to the Star Fleet. As a Light Cruiser the Pegasus is capable of multiple roles including deep-space exploration and large-scale fleet engagements.

After the end of the most recent Romulan War Star Fleet began replacing destroyed or heavily damaged vessels. Due to that the USS Pegasus was engineered. The USS Pegasus is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the Zeus class vessel surprised even her designers with her abilities, able to fight even a Heavy Cruiser to a standstill while under the command of a competent tactician. More important was her speed, with a brand new Class 7 Impulse Engine and Type 8 Warp Nacelles, the Zeus-Class could race from dock to an emergency situation in half the time it took for existing vessels
