At 1603 hours, one minute into the drop, the ''Penance'' suddenly initiated an in-atmosphere [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] jump, creating a massive [[electromagnetic pulse]] that fried the safety and navigational systems of the troopers' drop pods, sending them all free-falling to near-certain death and effectively terminating the operation.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}} | |||
