Prometheus: Prometheus 1
built 641 days ago
The Prometheus BI system stores and maintains its processed data using highly efficient compression techniques. The compressed data is typically 10% to 20% the size of the same data stored in standard database formats. This means that a standard server with stock hardware components can run a Prometheus BI system handling a volume of data that would otherwise require terabytes of storage and specialist hardware. This can provide substantial savings to an organisation in terms of hardware and maintenance costs.
Prometheus identifies companies supported by strong management teams in smaller U.S.-based middle market route-based and nationally-franchised restaurant businesses. These businesses are broadly defined as having purchase prices of approximately $10 to $30 million. Prometheus concentrates on investments in industries that are fragmented and represent an opportunity for consolidation. Prometheus targets companies that entail recurring revenue streams and that can be the platform or cornerstone for growth.
For this audacious deed, Prometheus 1 paid a high price, being severely punished by the Zeus, the new king of heaven. But among men he came to be called 'benefactor', a curious title considering that humans rapidly made a habit of employing Prometheus 1's gifts to cook and burn one another in many ways.
Following the theft of Earth's Stargate by the Trust, the Prometheus was deployed to locate Osiris' former Al'kesh, which the Trust was using as a base of operations. They were able to recover the Stargate and SG-1, which had infiltrated the ship, though the Trust members themselves escaped with the Al'kesh. (SG1: "Endgame") In a rematch in 2005, after the Trust had been infiltrated by the Goa'uld and was working to precipitate a nuclear exchange between the United States and Russia, the Prometheus finally managed to destroy the Al'kesh.
The Prometheus class was one of the most advanced starship types fielded by Starfleet in the late 24th century. With a crew of 175, it was designed with an unprecedented level of automation, and, combined with its tactical systems, was one of the most powerful combat platforms in the Alpha Quadrant.
Prometheus is a strategical turn based game for 10 to 20 players to be played via email or even via postal mail. Its engine is a C++ program that processes players' orders and produces HTML and PostScript printouts.
