Info

LT Raine „Flame‟ Arispe was promoted to Captain and continued to serve on the Prometheus until the end of the Cylon War. She was then promoted to Major and became X.O. of the Battlestar Hyperion. After retiring as a Colonel, Arispe went on to found the top holo-communications franchise in the Colonies, Flamevision Entertainment. She died in a transport accident five years before the Cylon attack that destroyed the Colonies. ENS Argenis “Sparrow” Petit learned his lesson at Caprica and went on to become one of the top fighter pilots in the CDF. Twenty years after the battle, he was promoted to General and given command of the Fighter Tactics School on Picon. He remained there for another ten years until his death at age fifty three of heart failure. CPT Nathan “Stormwind” Guill Was promoted to Major after the battle but remained the CAG of the Prometheus until the end of the war when he was promoted to Colonel. He served as the X.O. of the Battlestar Orion until his promotion to Commander, when he assumed command of the Battlestar Proteus. He remained in Command of the Proteus for ten years and is remembered as a great explorer, charting over thirty five new systems and expanding the „red line‟ out by over three hundred S.U. He retired as a Vice Admiral and commander of Colonial Exploration Corps thirty years after the end of the Cylon War. He lived on Arelon with his family right up until the time of the Cylon Attack that destroyed the Colonies. CDR Colin Magus Was promoted to Admiral and given command of the Fleet Academy on Caprica. He stayed there for ten years before finally retiring to Caprica‟s southern continent. He died in his sleep twenty three years after the end of the Cylon War and was interred in the Hall of Heroes in Caprica City. COL Allen Hohensee Was promoted to Commander after Commander Tajalle‟s promotion to Admiral. He assumed Command of the Prometheus and remained there for ten more years. He turned down promotion to Admiral twice, each time stating that he preferred to remain on the Prometheus. He finally moved on to the Fleet Academy at Picon where he served as Vice Commandant for twelve more years. He retired as a Vice Admiral (They actually mailed his rank emblems and promotion certificate to him two days after he retired because they knew he would still turn it down.) Vice Admiral Hohensee was there in the control tower the day the Nova Class Battlestar Prometheus was launched from Scorpion ship yards. Upon seeing Commander Turner take the new ship out he was heard to whisper “It‟s ok Admiral, the Prometheus lives.” He died en route back to Caprica of heart failure and was interred in the Hall of Heroes in Caprica City Fleet Admiral Nathan Gastineau Received the Presidential Medal of Distinction for his actions at the Battle of Caprica. He saw combat twice more aboard his flagship at Troy and again at Tauron. He was there at the Armistice signing, affixing his signature next to President Allen‟s. He remained as Colonial Defense Forces Commander for eight more years when he decided to retire. He spent two years in private life before the Colonial Republic party tapped him as their candidate for President. He won in a landslide victory and served as President for three terms before finally stepping down, so as not to serve 60
longer than the founding President. He died twenty four years to the day after the Battle of Caprica and was interred in the Hall of Heroes in Caprica City. Admiral Gastineau, Admiral Tajalle and Admiral Hohensee were interred side by side in the Hall under the emblem of the Battlestar Prometheus. Under that emblem and over their tombs was etched the motto of that fabled ship: “The Beacon of Light in the Darkness...” THE BATTLESTAR PROMETHEUS (BSG01) The Battlestar Prometheus continued to serve as the fleet flagship until the advent of the Mercury Class Battlestar, when she was retired from active service. However, instead of turning her into a fleet museum as the Quorum wanted, President Gastineau signed an executive order that she be used as the fleet training vessel. That order also stated that the Galactica, once retired, would take up the Prometheus‟ place as the fleet museum. Out of respect for him, no President that followed him ever changed the order. Thirty Eight years after the end of the Cylon War, a new class of Battlestar was commissioned to be Fleet Command and Control vessels. The first of this new Nova class was to be the fleet command ship. By a unanimous vote, the Quorum of Twelve decided to name the new vessel... Prometheus. This story is dedicated with respect and admiration to the men and women of the Colonial Defense Force Fan Club. These people keep the fire of Battlestar Galactica alive for all of us. The author would also like to personally thank Mr. Richard Hatch for his support and encouragement of the Battlestar Prometheus story. Keep the faith- ~Ryan A. Keeton 61
