"THE WAR IS OVER BUT THE BATTLE HAS JUST BEGUN"
Welcome to Battlestar Aries-BSR 26. Our humble beginning and journey began on September 16, 2006. After much debate and research, this mighty ship was finally christened Aries, named after the Greco Roman God of War Ares. We are a corresponding chapter in the Colonial Defense Forces proudly serving the South Texas region as part of the 6th Fleet.
We are fans of all ages from all over South Texas who share a love for Battlestar Galactica. Our main goal for the chapter is fun, friendship and fellowship. We attempt to accomplish this by sponsoring localized get togethers, attending conventions, online chatting and online playing role adventures.
We are currently recruiting active and like minded fans for a variety of crew positions as well as Viper Pilots, Raptor Pilots, and Colonial Marines.
It is our hope that you will enjoy your visit to the Battlestar Aries and perhaps join us in the adventure. In such a short period of time, Battlestar Aries has proven her greatness by leading with example with the help, love and respect of her crew. There is no other ship that can claim what she had accomplished in such a short period time of her existence, as much as her. She will undoubtedly go down in the history of CDF, as one of the greatest if not the best, ship of all. Like all those before her namely her direct predecessor, Battlestar Pegasus who was destroyed in battle in an effort to save the Galactica, she and her valiant and loyal crew will do everything they can to protect the safety and lives of humanity even if it means sacrificing themselves to do so. Battlestar Aries maybe still young, but she is proving her worth in the field of battle for like her brave and crew, she never backs down in a fight.
