Pegasus Command (PC) was started in June, 2011. It was the first wing on BSG that is based on the idea of democracy and principles of rule of law. Aer, the founder of PC was a former member of the StarStalkers wing and while a member of that wing became the first Colonial to kill the Basestar on the Scorpia server with the Battlestar Pegasus. The screen shots from this Peg run are on this site in the photos section.
On the night of July 22, 2011 PC went live. At this point the website was completed and the TS server was up. The first recruiting event was held in Delta Canopis which was successful in bring about 15 new members into the wing. For the first 4 weeks of the wing Aer acted as Military Governor, until such time as enough members had been recruited to establish the wings governing body the Quorum of the 12. At this first Quorum, Aer was elected to serve as both a member and as Supreme Commander of the wing. At this point the wing had approximately 40 members.
As time progressed more members joined until we reached 85 members, at this point our first purge was conducted. In our first purge we lost abut 25 members, and then began to grow again. It has been the philosophy of the wing that the best way to show members we care about involvement is to purge inactive members. We have not been concerned with being high up on the leader board with dead weight. At this point in January 2012 we have had 6 purges and have lost about 45 members do to inactivity. This happens with games such as BSG and shows the draw and staying power of our wing that we replace our numbers quickly and have been in the top 50 wings on the server the vast majority of the wings existence.
Since we are now for the first time changing Supreme Commander this wing can legitimately have a history. Without transition there can be nothing but stories. As a wing we have run over 10 Peg runs, built one of the first deep ops in cylon territory in 169 in our early days, which took the Basestar to kill. Destroyed countless mines and pvp cylons. We have leveled up well over 30 members past the rank of Captain. We have had two Quorum of the 12 elections, and I have had the privilege to serve on both and be elected Supreme Commander of the wing twice. We started mining ops, stealth op busts, and have one of the best forums or any wing in the game. As always we are nothing without our members. This chapter ends and a new one soon begins. I look forward to the accomplishment of it as well.
