With the continued rebuilding of both the Battlestar Pegasus and the conversion of the fleet to new shelters for the Korean colonies, a number of the wartime engineers have begun work on rebuilding some of Pegasus' more modern one man fighters.
Due to dwindling resources and the destruction of the vast majority of the Vipers and their production facilities during the exodus from Outer Heaven Inc. the fleet was forced to rely upon the heavily outdated Cobra class fighters rescued from museums and scrap yards.
With the exodus at long last at an end and the rebuilding of the 'New Heaven' colonies under way, most of the maintenance crews for the fighters have been working night and day to rebuild the Viper facilities and fighters.

Earlier this morning the first of the newly rebuilt Viper mk VII was put under a number of trails and while the testing flights were cut short due to an electrical failure in the Viper's secondary engines we at long last have the first sign our nation once more being defended by an effective and modern air force.
