The ship was [[Earth|Earth's]] first large-scale vessel capable of interstellar travel, equipped with [[hyperspace]] engines but also capable of operating in a planet's atmosphere and landing on the surface. |

| [[File:Prometheus.jpg|thumb]]Code name for the [[X-303]] project, [[Earth's]] first large-scale vessel capable of interstellar travel. The vessel is equipped with [[hyperspace]] engines, and can also operate in a planet's atmosphere and land on the surface. Research and development for the [[hyperdrive]] -- powered by [[naquadria]] -- cost the U.S. over $2 billion. | | [[Category:Ships]][[Category:SG-1]][[Category:Humans]] |
| Prometheus' main purpose is to serve as a platform for the defense of Earth. The ship can achieve orbit in less than 30 seconds, and utilizing the sub-light engines, can travel at 110,000 miles per second. The corridors of the vessel are constructed of [[trinium]] alloys.

| Prometheus dwarfs its two predecessors, the [[X-301]] Interceptor and the [[X-302]], which accommodate only two people on each. The ship accommodates eight [[F-302]] fighter craft, which can be deployed and recieved through a launch bay even when the ship is in flight. It was intended to serve as the prototype for a new fleet of space-faring vessels, and is succeeded by the next-generation battlecruiser [[Daedalus]].

| Prometheus's first official commanding officer was [[Colonel William Ronson]]. Ronson was followed by [[Colonel Lionel Pendergast]] following the temporary assignment of [[General George Hammond]] to the command chair.

| [[File:Prometheus01.jpg|thumb]]Prometheus thrived for three years, carrying out missions during the early stages of [[humanity's]] war with the [[Ori]]. Enhanced with [[Asgard]] shields and weapons, she traveled to [[Tegalus]] to retrieve [[Dr. Daniel Jackson]] and disable an [[Ori satellite weapon]]. But the satellite was prepared for a fight, and after Prometheus launched two intial rockets, the satellite returned the assault with a volley of Ori firepower, plowing a hole through the nose of the ship.
| |
| Pendergast dispatched [[Blue Squadron]] to attack the satellite in waves, but its advanced shielding could not be penetrated. Three additional shots at the Prometheus's long neck finally crippled the craft. Pengergast evacuated the crew with [[Asgard beams]], going down with his ship to ensure his crew was safe.

| Her back broken, Prometheus split at the neck and exploded. More than 39 of over 115 officers and crew died with her.
