We are the 3rd Fleet, the 1st Fleet in the Colonial Defense Forces. My name is Commander A. Mitchelson, Commander of the Battlestar Hephaestus - Flagship of the 3rd Fleet. We have survived more attacks and engagements then I care to remember, only to become stronger & more aggressive towards our existence, to stamp out, exterminate, and to stomp those frak’in Cylons back into the metal piles of junk from which they were born. We cannot allow their human domination/destruction to continue. We will always strive to meet and greet the Cylons head on. I don’t believe in “just surviving”. We will continue to fight against all odds, to overcome the threat, to take back the lives we have been forced to leave behind. The Nemesis is a proud lady, always bringing us back from the brink, only to strike back with renewed vengeance. Our Fleet contains some of the finest Warriors in the Fleet. Our Marines are specialist in Close Quarter Battle, never have any of them failed to do their duty. Our Battlestars are few, but we are proud of having the honor of protecting the Presidents Vessel. We will not fail! I hope you are up to the task which you have been given. You will be called upon to act. Do so with honor and dedication to your proud heritage. “SO SAY WE ALL”
