Galactica's Air Group

The Air Group of the Battlestar Galactica was the primary fighting force protecting the Fleet over the four-year period following the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. It was aided for over a year by the Battlestar Pegasus' Air Group, with common transfers between the two, finally merging into Galactica's Air Group following Pegasus' destruction at the battle over New Caprica.
