Project Goliath, often abbreviated to PROGO, was a Unified Earth Space Council(UESC) initiative to investigate the loss of communications between the Tau Ceti colony and the UESC Marathon, and Sol.[1] The UESC Equanimity was eventually sent to Tau Ceti under Goliath.[1]
History[edit]
Conception[edit]
Coinciding with the Pfhor attack on the New Cascadia colony on Tau Ceti IV in 2794, communications were lost between with Earth. Fearing anti-UESC groups had taken action or one of the AIs going rampant, the UESC began drafting plans to re-establish contact with the colony and cement order. As well as a show of strength to the other factions within Sol. [1]
Development[edit]
Planning for the project began in 2795, with the earliest known draft of the project dated October 20.[2] Many concerns were raised at this stage, the main one being over the nature of the communication blackout. The document's commentary noted that the Marathon carried a Chevalerie-Class AI aboard. This AI becoming rampant was one speculated cause of the blackout.[2] Another theory proposed was insurrection, as the colony had the capacity to quickly repair their communication array but hadn't.
In the second known draft, dated October 22, 2795, raised even more concerns over the personnel roster. Specifically the inclusion of 48 purpose-built 3rd generation Mjölnir Mk VII-IX and Sharur Mk 2-6 cyborgs.[3] The commentary noted that cyborgs at the time of the Marathon's launch were dedicated weapons of war, and that sending any cyborg would be seen as an act of aggression.
These same concerns were also raised in an email chain between two unknown parties, regarding the project's rapid militarization by Mx Moreau.[4] In some drafts, the number of craft included in the mission reached as high as 14. Some of these ships as well, were specifically designed for orbital bombardment. Later drafts would see the cyborgs replaced by military clones and other military personnel reduced significantly.
