Its combination of heavy hull damage and wide compatibility made it the weapon of choice of GTA pilots during the latter parts of the Great War.

	The Prometheus's power-generation module required, among other essential components, argon, which was obtained in large quantities from Earth and, by extension, [[Sol]]. Thus, when the [[Delta Serpentis]]-Sol jump node collapsed from the [[destruction of the SD Lucifer]], the newly-formed [[GTVA]] was unable to obtain sufficient quantities of argon to continue the manufacture of the Prometheus and was forced to remove it from service. As an initial workaround, the original Prometheus design was modified to incorporate certain elements of the [[GTW Banshee]], although the end result, the [[GTW Prometheus R]], lacked several properties of the original weapon. A more permanent solution was found after the Alliance began deploying [[GVG Anuket\|gas]] [[GTG Zephyrus\|miners]], which enabled the development and subsequent widespread distribution of the [[GTW Prometheus S]], which is described as a minor variant of the original Prometheus and has similar performance statistics.

	~~Because of the~~ [[~~Destruction of the SD Lucifer\|assault on the SD ''Lucifer''~~]] in the [[~~subspace~~]] ~~tunnel leading~~ from [[~~Delta Serpentis~~]] to [[~~Sol~~]]~~, all communication from~~ the ~~Terran homeworld~~ was ~~cut off~~. ~~The substances needed to produce~~ the Prometheus ~~cannon ceased~~ to ~~be available and new~~, ~~retrofitted variants were made. These two cannons were~~ the [[Prometheus R]] ~~(Prometheus Retrofit)~~ and the [[Prometheus S]] (Prometheus ~~Standard)~~.		The Prometheus's power-generation module required, among other essential components, argon, which was obtained in large quantities from Earth and, by extension, [[Sol]]. Thus, when the [[Delta Serpentis]]-Sol jump node collapsed from the [[destruction of the SD Lucifer]], the newly-formed [[GTVA]] was unable to obtain sufficient quantities of argon to continue the manufacture of the Prometheus and was forced to remove it from service.

	Named after the Titan who gave fire to humanity, the Prometheus is a laser-based weapon - an advanced radar and X-ray tracking system lock on the target and determine the target's material structure - argon laser focused via transparent ceramic optics - the laser is generated at the destructive frequency (full out-of-phase) for the target's material structure - emitted no more than .02 ms after targeting and activation by the pilot, the Prometheus stands as one of the GTA's most effective deterrents to enemy attack, an effective form of defense for GTA pilots, and as a durable, portable, and highly destructive offensive tool.

			The Prometheus works best against target hulls. Against shields, it only achieves mediocre performance. Its slow speed and high energy consumption work against it as well. However, the primary advantage of the Prometheus is that it can be equipped on almost any fighter in the GTA.

	The [[GTW Avenger]] is likely better in most respects, but the Prometheus does have a superior hull volley damage. Against evading targets, you may find yourself able to score a single guaranteed hit, during a very brief instant, with a several second gap between each. In this case, the superior volley damage may help finish off targets stripped of their shields more quickly. The slower rate of fire doesn't matter in such a situation, and the rate of shield damage is basically identical there as well.}}		The [[GTW Avenger]] is likely better in most respects, but the Prometheus does have a superior hull volley damage.
