User:Ron the True Fan/Battlestar Galactica

The Battlestar Galactica is a Colonial capital ship under the command of Admiral William Adama, and has been refit many times under his command. ======

First contact
When the Archangel and the Minerva were sent into the path of the Fleet, Galactica and Pegasus launched a squadron of Raptors to board the two ships and take control. When ZAFT pilot Shinn Asuka hijacked a Raptor, he went straight for Galactica.

Hostage situation
Shinn broke through security and took Admiral Adama hostage, forcing a Mexican standoff between Shinn and the Marines. Only when he could talk to his CO, Talia Gladys, did he let Adama go.

Mobile Suit refit
The only surviving CCE (Colonial corps of Engineers) officer at the time was Colonel Ronald Pinkerton, and thus was designing a new MS from the Murasame, the CDF-X01A Proto-Dart. Admiral Adama was against it, due to lack of resources. After a CCE fleet joined them, however, the refit was more likely. However, the Battlestar wouldn't be refit until New Caprica.

New Caprica stagnation
After discovering the cracks in Galactica's superstructure, the CCE repaired and secretly refit Galactica with beam weapons, MS catapults and Veriable Phase Shift Armor. After the Cylons discovered New Caprica, Galactica and her escorts jumped away, but not before Adama qouted (to a point) McArthur: 'We'll be back.'

Battle of New Caprica
Most of the Fleet were to protect the ships that escaped New Caprica, while Galactica and the Archangel led an attack to bring the survivors on the surface, including the ZAFT warship Minerva, back into orbit. the battle was a victory, but with the loss of the support vessel Eternal.

Fighting the Cylons
Galactica fought the Cylons with a renewed hardiness thanks to the refits. The hull could no longer be damaged with ease, and the MSs ripped the Cylon Raiders to shreds.

Betrayed
Colonel Ronald Pinkerton had created the Dart and Morgan MSs, and soon, he disappeared, only to be discovered leading ZAFT a few months later. When Adama attacked the Loyalist ZAFT fleet, his forces included ZAFT, Orb, Alliance amd
