The first expansion for Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game; Pegasus 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.
From the Box:
On behalf of the officers and crew of the Pegasus; it's a pleasure to see you all. Welcome back to the Colonial Fleet. - Admiral Helena Cain
The arrival of the Battlestar Pegasus heralds a new era in the lives of the Galactica crew and the Colonial government; bringing badly needed manpower and firepower to humanity's ongoing fight against the Cylons. However; under the command of Admiral Cain there is no place for compassion or mercy. Now brutal necessity and hard choices erode humanity's moral compass. The Cylons; in turn; are changing as well. The more they are exposed to humans; the more their individual agendas begin to guide their actions. In a time of suspicion and desperate need; the line between right and wrong grows less and less distinct.
The Pegasus Expansion for Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game brings players the next chapter in the popular Syfy series. In addition to more Destination; Crisis; Super Crisis; Loyalty; and Skill Cards; this expansion introduces many new card types such as Treachery Skill Cards; representing the underhanded methods used to sabotage humanity's struggles. New characters in the expansion allow players to play as Cylon Leaders; who can win or lose based on their own mysterious motivations. New gameboards allow characters to explore both the Pegasus and New Caprica. Finally; with the New Caprica Objective Card and board; humanity will be subjected to Cylon rule; and must defend themselves from their oppressive overlords until Galactica can return to attempt a daring rescue.
We fight 'em until we can't. - Kara Thrace
