The Battlestar Pegasus is the only other Battlestar in the entire series to survive the initial cyberattack by the Cylons, which is mostly thanks to the crew's incredible luck.
The warship was in the middle of a three-month refurbishing, in an extremely similar fashion to the Galactica, and was able to discover the Cylon bugs in their system before the Cylons could use their advanced technology against them.
This means that the Pegasus is the only "modern" Battlestar to survive the second Human-Cylon war. The Pegasus thus is faster, stronger, can hold and launch more fighters, and jump much sooner than the practically outdated Galactica.
While these advancements came to be the Pegasus' biggest advantage, the ship was eventually destroyed during the Battle of New Caprica, used as a battering ram to wipe out a good portion of the Cylon fleet occupying the planet, and in the end saving humanity from complete extinction.
