In [[2555]] the group created a task force to assist ONI's [[Zeta Halo project]] following the discovery of [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Reuse|hitd21}} During a routine search conducted by twenty-three explorers from Fathom Station in [[2556]], ''Splendid Intention'' suddenly shifted from its resting place in the [[Aleutian Rim]] and violently slid down a nearby trench, sending debris and water in Fathom Station's northern terminal. The complex was torn apart and forty-one researchers were killed in the incident. ''Splendid Intention'' and the twenty-three explorers trapped inside the carrier were lost, and operations at Fathom Station did not continue.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} At some point, the Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group filed report [[ONI XENO-MATERIALS EXPLOITATION REPORT 15Y1198|15Y1198]], which detailed the discovery of an | In [[2555]] the group created a task force to assist ONI's [[Zeta Halo project]] following the discovery of [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Reuse|hitd21}} During a routine search conducted by twenty-three explorers from Fathom Station in [[2556]], ''Splendid Intention'' suddenly shifted from its resting place in the [[Aleutian Rim]] and violently slid down a nearby trench, sending debris and water in Fathom Station's northern terminal.

The report recommended that further analysis of the ship should be immediately assigned to [[Project ARC DREAM]] and noted that investigation of its weaponry was already underway by a team on [[AZURE MOON]].{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=14}} | ||
