GEMINI trap

In 3630 BBY as part of their ongoing campaign against the Eternal Empire, the Alliance attempted to hijack one of the warships that made up the Eternal Fleet and replace its GEMINI captain with their newly-acquired GEMINI Prime in an attempt to take over the Eternal Fleet. Koth Vortena piloted the Gravestone to the location of a lone Eternal Fleet warship recharging its hyperdrive and jammed its communications, while a strike team consisting of Theron Shan, Lana Beniko, Senya Tirall, SCORPIO and the Alliance Commander landed inside the hangar. However, SCORPIO had different motives and betrayed the Alliance, granting the GEMINI captain free will in exchange for stalling her companions, and faked her own death, using the GEMINI frequency to seize the Eternal Throne from Emperor Arcann. Meanwhile, the Alliance forces believed her dead and proceeded to rescue the captive prisoners that were being transported to Zakuul and engaged the GEMINI captain, who triggered the ship's self-destruct after being defeated. Emperor Arcann arrived with reinforcements on his Eternal Flagship just as Alliance forces escaped on the Gravestone and soon learned that as a result of SCORPIO's machinations he lost control of the majority of the Eternal Fleet.
