The Pegasus class is the third in a long and well respected line of Earthfleet Shipkiller combat vessels. However, like the Skipjack, only a handful were ever made as the ship, while big and powerful, was ultimately deemed a tactical failure because, due to its size, it lost all of the advantages that made the Sergenious and Samurai class such great ships, including speed and maneuverability. The Pegasus carried a standard crew compliment of 15, whereas the previous two shipkillers only required a total crew of 9. It also suffered greatly from much speeds, decreased maneuverability, and was less survivable compared to its earlier cousins. It's only real tactical advantage it held was that it possessed significantly more firepower than either the Sergenious or Samurai classes combined. However, even this advantage was superseded with the release of the newer Raven and Wolfpack classes, the next generation of Earthfleet shipkillers. Only fifteen of the Pegasus class were built before the class was eventually abandoned.
