History:
The Pegasus class first went onto the drawing boards in 2017, with the Wraith building up their fleets and armed with new defences and weapons it was decided that a new ship able to combat them had to be developed. This ship was the Pegasus, the Wraith shields meant rail guns and coil guns would have limited affect against the new breed of Wraith warships to counter this the Pegasus was armed with the largerest double barrel coil gun ever concieved.
The coil gun was to fire rounds 40% larger than any other at speeds 200% greater than any other coil gun. The rounds have a huge kinetic impact enough to penetrate 30m of Wraith armor and fast enough to faze through primative shielding aka goa'uld.
Unfortunately the ship suffered several drawbacks, the main one was the huge coil gun which had a massive recoil which caused severe damage to the ship when fired, this forced the ship to be selved untill the technology needed to fix the problem could be developed and so R&D could focus on war related tasks.
After the war with the Wraith Earths space program found itself with a small and limited fleet following the devastating surprise attack on Earth. While studying wreckage from the Wraith fleet one off the scientists discovered that the Wraith used a special organic metalic alloy to almost completely eliminate recoil damage from their own weapons. After years of study the egg heads at area 51 found a way to replicate small quantities of the material. The material is specially designed by the Wraith to absorb huge amounts of kinetic energy making it the perfect component for the Heavy coil guns, though it isn't hard enough to be used as armor.
Finally in 2037 the prototype was launched, the new alloy meant that the Heavy coil guns could be fired with out risk to the ship although the substance is prone to wear and tear, to limit wear the guns are only fired in short bursts. The ships is also powered by the experimental mark VI naquadriah generator, this generator modified for ship use is the most powerful ship board generator ever created by the Tau'ri, able to power every system to it's full potential. The ship also carries a small number of fighters as it's weapons are designed for anti capital ship roles, this means that it normally works with carriers where both ships can benifit each other.
Although produced too late to fight the Wraith the ship was a front line fighter in the Aschen wars and mass production began in 2039.
In 2041 the ships were refitted for the war against the Aschen, before 2041 and the start of the Aschen wars the Pegasus had been used as a heavily armed patrol ship but without a major enemy it's armanent was reduced. When the Aschen confederacy revealed itself the Pegasus found itself on the front lines of the war but it often expended it's ordance far to quickly to stop this it recieved an extensive refit.
The first thing to be added was an extra Vertical.Launch.Tube this allowed the Pegasus to deploy it's nukes far more quickly in combat suituations, it's nuke payload was also increased by 50% to allow it to stay in the fight that much longer.
An extra power generator was added to provide back up power to ship incase it was critically damaged allowing the ship to survive in combat even if it's main generator is destroyed - especially useful when fighting Reapers or other races which typically disable power systems.
The ablative armor was enhanced and upgraded to disapate energy more effectively.
Major Weapons enhancements
Perhaps the most major upgrade for the Pegasus was the introduction of the 3rd generation Tau'ri energy canons, 1st being Felgers, 2nd being those on the Leviathon and Cerberus. These new Tau'ri Ion Canons were designed after studying both Ha'tak and Tollan energy weapons. After studying these weapon systems and using knowledge of Asgard weapon systems the Tau'ri were able to significantly improve the Weapons. The 2 canons each have a large rapidly recharging capacitor able to contain enough power for 3 blasts, the strength and rate of fire of the blasts are controlled from the fire controls on the bridge. This allows the canons to be incredibly versitial either firing 1 shot per second or releasing 3 simultaneusly. This means even when it's missiles have been expended it can remain in the fight. The guns can destroy Ha'taks in 6 hits.
The Second major weapons enhancement was of the Heavy coil gun. The test runs of the coil gun were extremely good, the recoil almost eliminated the gun was very capable and allowed the Pegasus to deply huge amounts of fire on a target in the space of a few seconds so the next step was to increase the calibre. The calibre was already larger than any other coil gun but recent projections indicated that the calibre could be increased by a further 107% to 1500mm! The gun was modified to accomate the larger projectiles and relaunched, able to accomate any calibre between 700 and 1500.
Computer, sensory and standard equipement were also uprated
With the new Weapon and Defensive upgrades the Pegasus was now ready to fight the front line war against the Aschen and their allies. Long after the war has ended the Pegasus can still be seen defending the Tau'ri borders against any foe, serving in the fleet for nearly 60 years it is second longest serving ship created by the Tau'ri after the Deadalus...

model coming soon, what do people think?
...i still think that it's a)too big to be a cruiser and b) to grand to be a cruiser...i'll vote abit later still trying to decide between all the great designs not being able to vote for my own makes this sooo much more difficult
