In the fictional universe of Mobile Suit Gundam, the Pegasus-class mobile suit carrier was the first ship of the Earth Federation to be designed around mobile suit carrying. Unlike most ship classes, the Pegasus class is not so much a single class as a concept; as rapidly advancing technology swiftly changed both the internal arrangement and external appearance of the Pegasus-class ships. Only the first three units (Pegasus SCV-69, White Base SCV-70 and White Base Jr. SCV-71) were completed to the original plans; after White Base Jr. technology was advancing so quickly that each subsequent Pegasus class ship looked significantly different, though each had the same general arrangement of a central hull with two large aft thruster blocks, two wings and two forward mobile suit launching "legs." The overall design looked like a sphinx or a winged horse, giving the class its name.

After the One Year War, every ship was redesignated MSC (Mobile Suit Carrier) whether it had survived the war or not.

1 Ships of the Pegasus class

To a practiced eye, no two ships of the Pegasus class are alike; the advancing technology of the war resulted in drastic changes that severely affected the external appearance of the ships. However, four distinct flights appeared: Flight I (the base Pegasus design, repeated on White Base and White Base Jr.), Flight II (a modified Flight I design, seen on Thoroughbred and Blanc Rival, mostly similar but flatter in shape), Flight III (new external design, included two additional catapults, a new laser propulsion system and generally improved armament, not completed until postwar) and Flight IV (actually completed before Flight III, an improved Flight II design).
