Notes[]

  • Helena Cain was promoted to Rear Admiral, while still remaining in command of Battlestar Pegasus. Most likely options are:
    1. She was newly promoted, and still preparing to take command of one of the divisions.
    2. She was already in command of one of the divisions, and Battlestar Pegasus was her flagship.
    3. Rear Admiral is the highest permanent rank; all other ranks are tied to the appointment.
