Though the shields held, they were weakened to nearly forty percent power. Lynch detected an energy buildup from the ship, which then let loose a barrage of homing projectiles at the Prometheus. Roberts suggested a diplomatic approach and attempted to converse with the enemy ship's crew, but to no avail. At that moment, Dawson put the ship into tactical alert as a large ship appeared out of nowhere. Another officer informed them that the Prometheus's long-range comms were also down. Admiral Jack Roberts, the head of the expedition, and Captain Steven Dawson, the commanding officer of the Prometheus, and their second officers, Sam Reed and Michael Lynch, were informed by a bridge officer that something was deflecting their scans somehow, and that the lock on the signal had been lost. Though it was detected again, the ship could not maintain a lock on it. The flagship of the JETF, the RWI Prometheus, was attacked and heavily damaged by a vessel of an unknown faction that appeared out of nowhere and bombarded the landing forces.Īs the Prometheus entered the Chrome system, it began using its high-powered scanners to search the second planet for the previously-detected mysterious signal. The Battle over Chrome II was the battle that kicked off the efforts of the Joint Expedition Task Force (JETF), an exploration effort into deep space headed by RWI ( Redwood Industries), CNL ( Crazy North Logistics), and RCSP ( Royal Coalition of Spatial Protection). JETF landing ships scattered and damaged.
