Just as tensions between the Commanders and warriors of the two Battlestars reach near breaking point with the removal of Cain's command by an angry Adama, an incredible wave of Cylon fighters, led from the front by a blood thirsty Baltar, attacks the Galactica and the fleet, bringing epic destruction and damage in their wake. Can the newly command re-instated Cain and the Pegasus, located beyond scanning range at the far side of the fleet, be able to help their comrades in time?

'MISSION' AT 45: MORALE SUPPORT!

Relieved of his command by Adama, his superior officer, due to his willful destruction of the Cylon Tankers, Cain seeks solace with some vintage ambrosia in the Officer's Lounge of the Galactica, where he is soon supported by his two finest warriors, his daughter Sheba and Bojay. Both share his frustrations and sadness, pledging support to aid him in any possible way, despite the potential air of treason that the duo's actions could cause...

Co-ordinating battle interception plans.

As the Colonial Viper squadrons of the Galactica and Pegasus begin integrating, so as to build a strong sense of teamwork, Adama and Cain make plans to capture a supply of Cylon fuel tankers to aid the depleted Colonial Rag-Tag fleet that is now stuck dead in space, ready prey for enemy attack.

'MISSION' AT 45: LOVERS REUNITED!

Luck has been on Commander Cain's side for several yahrens prior, and that happy streak continues further when he discovers that his old flame, the former Socialator Cassiopeia, has survived the destruction of the Twelve Colonies and resides aboard the Galactica. His passion for Cassie re-ignited, Cain has high hopes for their future, despite her ongoing relationship to Starbuck, whilst re-energizing his efforts and will to destroy the Cylons. The only concern now is how Sheba, once angry with her late mother's replacement, will react to Cassie's return into her father's life...

Offscreen, there were some early concerns in the story that Cassie was too young for Cain to have a romance with. Laurette Spang would hilariously recall that Lloyd Bridge's wife would also be on set to 'watch' the kissing scenes involving Spang and her husband, so as to keep an eye on things!

'MISSION' AT 45: INTRODUCING THE LEGENDARY 'PEGASUS'!

Bold warriors need bold Battlestars from which to fight, and none could be better in terms of ongoing warfare against the Cylon menace than the trusty Pegasus, a vessel that has been involved in some of Colonial history's greatest conflicts and resolutely survived them all alongside its feared and noted Commander Cain. The rumours of their demise at the Battle of Molocay, prior to the near destruction of humanity, would prove greatly exaggerated indeed...

Two Battlestars' reunited!

If ever an extra spark of morale building hope was needed for the Galactica and its constantly pursued Rag-Tag Fleet, then the return of Cain and the Pegasus is it!
