The Prometheus succumbs to an Ori-designed Satellite over Tegalus
Prometheus attempted to intervene after one of two nations, the Rand Protectorate, locked in a generations-old Cold War ("Ethon") began building Ori-designed satellite weapons technology. Shots by Prometheus to disable the satellite proved ineffective, and the advanced weapons on board the satellite were able to cut right through Prometheus's shields. Because the satellite took several minutes to reload before firing, Prometheus was able to send its compliment of F-302's into space as well as buy time for some of its crew to beam down using Asgard beaming technology. It took three shots from the satellite to fully destroy the ship.
Out of the 115 crew members aboard during the mission, only 76 survived; its commander, Col. Lionel Pendergast, was killed in the third and final energy blast that destroyed the Prometheus. Its wing of F-302's successfully made planetfall in Caledonian territory, along with the survivors of the Prometheus. Its final mission was unsuccessful as subsequent peace talks failed, and a major war was launched, leaving the Stargate on that planet inaccessible and presumed buried under rubble.
