The Prometheus (also known as the X-303 and later BC-303) was a US military spacecraft and the first Tau'ri capital ship.
History
The sole ship in her class, the Prometheus was a prototype, serving as a testbed for reverse engineered technology which was later used in the more advanced Daedalus-class Battlecruiser. The ship was launched in late 2002, whereupon it was hijacked by rogue NID agents. In 2003, the Prometheus lost its hyperdrive capability for a few months when its naquadriah reactor overloaded. It participated in the Battle of Antarctica in 2004. In 2005, the Prometheus participated in preventing the Ori from establishing their supergate at Kallana. It was destroyed in early 2006 in the Battle of Tegalus by an Ori weapons platform.
