The Red Dome Incident was a intended botched mercenary operation conducted by the Sparrowhawk PSC while the Atlas Initiative didn't inform the PSC of civilian elements as a means to fuel hate for Anti-Sol rebel groups.

## Backstory

According to Atlas Initiative voice logs and entries that were taken in that day, The Sparrowhawk contractors were oblivious to what the actual plan was. The briefing was conducted by contractors of Atlas. the entry point was in the back of the ship and the contractors will make their way up to the cockpit. The ship was powered down by Initiative contractors minutes before the operation started. trapping the boarded citizens.

Atlas Initiative contractors are the only ones fitted with infrared technology, many of the Sparrowhawk contractors were outraged by this choice, however. The Initiative's reason was "The transport ship isn't that dark." which is in fact, a lie.
