TM 185 - Moment of Triumph
Jul. 4th, 2007 12:41 pm185 - It's your moment of triumph! Where are you and what are you doing?
We called her "The Beast". We really had no idea how true that could be.
It was obvious on first look, of course. A Mercury-class battlestar was a massive, intimidating-looking machine. Where other ships of the line had hulls more streamlined or sleeker, she was a ship that looked like it was constantly spoiling for a fight. She was all muscle, stem to stern, and mean muscle, at that.
Four large primary defense turrets and two giant cannon, and that was just the armament mounted on her bow. She bristled with more batteries and point-defense emplacements, capable of a sustained screen of fire in 360 degrees in nearly any direction. At her capacity, she could fly 180 Viper Mark VII's, and was crewed by 2500.
She was called the battlestar Pegasus, and though she came to us with a tainted past, she delivered the human race to freedom.
( Ready. Aim. Fire. )
