"The Pegasus" is the 164th episode of the syndicated American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the 12th episode of the seventh season. It was written by Ronald D. Moore and directed by series cast member LeVar Burton (Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge).
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D. In this episode, the Enterprise attempts to recover the Pegasus, a Federation starship that contained experimental technology of vital strategic importance and was also the first starship posting of Enterprise first officer, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) when he left Starfleet Academy.
The Enterprise is ordered on a priority mission to collect a member of Starfleet Intelligence: Admiral Erik Pressman (Terry O'Quinn), former Captain of the USS Pegasus, where Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) first served after graduating from Starfleet Academy. Pressman informs Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Riker that intelligence has located the Pegasus in the Devolin system near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Though it is presumed destroyed, Pressman orders the Enterprise to either recover the ship's remains or destroy them to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Romulans. In private, Riker attempts to discuss the events aboard the Pegasus's last mission and questions Pressman's intentions, but Pressman instructs Riker to remain silent until the mission is completed.
