Description
Commander Cain is the commander of the Battlestar Pegasus, the father of Lieutenant Sheba, and former lover of Cassiopeia. He is one of the greatest heroes in the Colonial Service; his battle strategies are legendary throughout the fleet. However, he is also known to be rather impulsive and a maverick. He inspires near-fanatical loyalty amongst his crew on the Pegasus. Under his command, the Pegasus sortied to defend a human ally world, out of contact with the Twelve Colonies, with an expeditionary force (referred to as The Fifth Fleet) that was destroyed by the Cylons; the Pegasus, however, escaped, and was spared destruction at Baltar's betrayal to the Cylons.

At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
