The Pegasus is a Matador class Dreadnaught, the first in its class and not the last to size up against the Jitharin warship. It is built to fight and win any battle it may come across as the last leg of the Anuran war is winding down and ships returning with battle scars on their hull. The experimental Zero Energy Reactor is the primary power plant for the huge dreadnaught. Although it's experimental, but Command officials are optimistic after centuries of perfecting the technology for civilian use.
The Anuran is a humanoid species discovered by a team from Stargate Command, they are highly advance and xenophobic. After thousands of years of enslavement by the Gao'uld Aries and the rumors of his death rally the Anuran to unite and overthrow the overlord. After a devastating first contact in July 12 2100, all members of Sg-5 Diplomatic team imprison and executed by their leaders on the same day they visited the planet. The Earth Alliance Diplomatic Council failed in their talks to return the bodies of Sg-5 but the leader refuse to listen to the demands and open fire on an Earth ship in orbit of the Anuran home world.
The Alliance Executive Council declared war with the full blessing of the Legislators and the Citizens of Earth and her territories. After six years of devastating loses, the Anuran surrendered on September 12, 2106 after capturing the capital by the 55th Snake Hound Division. An elite commando unit trained in urban warfare, much like the Delta Force in the 21st century.
General Thomas McMurdo the commandant of the 55th Snake Hound force the Anuran leadership to sign a Declaration of Surrender as the Alliance military pacify the Anuran military and militias stated on the treaty. The Pegasus came into play as a Command Center for the 5th Herat Sector, the region of space hostile to any commercial traffic without military escort.
In the General's ready room, McMurdo is debriefing President Langford and the Alliance Joint Chief of the situation in the Anuran occupation. McMurdo dislike the idea of occupying a planet for a long term but he has orders.
"The Legislator can kiss my ass if they put a foot in on the planet." McMurdo said.
"I know how you feel General, but they are getting restless and want the occupation to end." President Langford informs General McMurdo how the politicians on Earth are getting restless. "The only report they are getting is from your prospective not the prying eyes of the media."
"I have my reason to ban the Media from getting close to this system. If they want the occupation to end, we can pack up and leave." McMurdo said as he sips a cup of hot coffee. "My men are ready to go per your orders after they file the application for membership into the Alliance."
"It's not an occupation if they are a member in the Alliance." General Kinsey asks.
"They are willing to be a member of the Alliance including dissolving their feudal system into our charter." Admiral Farrow briefed the group.
"I will inform the Legislator of our accomplishment." President Langford informs the group. "But I don't think they will listen."
In the Bridge, Major Garret Thomas notice something odd on the long-range sensors. He is dumbfounded as the sensors indicated that it is an old SGC locator beacon transmitting 200 light years from their current position. "I'll be damn." He taps his com unit to alert General McMurdo of his findings.
"What is it Major Thomas."
"Sir, sensors are picking up four old SGC locator beacon." Major Thomas Riley said as he uploads the readout to the General's ready room.
In the General's ready room, he excuse himself from the high-level conference as he display the readout on his computer screen. He drop everything as he stare at the name of the four missing people and their photo and service record.
