The ''Sun Tzu'''s first mission occurred in early [[2009]], when the Sun Tzu and [[Apollo]] jointly engaged the [[ZPM powered hive ship]] on the edge of the [[Milky Way]] [[galaxy]] when the [[Hive Ship]] needed to take a brief [[hyperspace]] pause. They were, however, unsuccessful in stopping the invaders due to its nearly impenetrable hull. Both ships suffered major damage, with the ''Sun Tzu'' faring less favorably than the Apollo. After the ''Sun Tzu'' began venting atmosphere, the crew abandoned the ship and boarded the Apollo, which had severe engine damage and was left a month away from the nearest planet with a [[Stargate]]. [[Colonel]] [[Abraham Ellis]] of the Apollo reported the aftermath of the battle to [[Stargate Command]] on [[Earth]] via a subspace message. {{Cite|atl|Enemy at the Gate}}

History

Main article: Battle of the Super-hive

In 2009, after discovering the super-hive was heading to Earth, the SGC dispatched the Apollo and the Sun Tzu, Earth's only two available ships to stop it. The two 304s engaged the hive ship in battle, but did very little damage before the hive ship departed for Earth. The Apollo lost her engines and would take a month to reach the nearest Stargate. In contrast, the Sun Tzu was crippled and began venting atmosphere, forcing the Apollo to take her crew aboard. Colonel Abraham Ellis broadcast a message detailing the fate of the two ships and their failure to stop the super-hive. (SGA: "Enemy at the Gate")

Following the battle, the Sun Tzu is abandoned in space, too badly damaged to repair right away. Around a month later, Colonel Samantha Carter tells Teyla Emmagan and Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard that the Sun Tzu has yet to be salvaged and they still have to if they can, indicating that the ship may have been damaged beyond repair. (SGA: "Legacy: Homecoming")

Major campaigns
