Ep 2. Trojan Crowbar

Starcom: The US Space Force is a science fiction animated series set in the future where the United States has a space exploration and defense force called Starcom. Season 1 episode 2 titled Trojan Crowbar follows the adventures of the Starcom team as they embark on a new mission to discover the whereabouts of a missing Starcom satellite.

The episode begins with the Starcom team, headed by Colonel Jameson, investigating the disappearance of a satellite that was meant to explore a nearby asteroid field. The team is immediately suspicious because the satellite was equipped with advanced stealth technology and the sudden disappearance seems inexplicable. After analyzing the satellite's last transmission, the team determines that it was subjected to a significant gravitational pull, causing its descent towards the asteroid field.

The team decides to investigate the asteroid field to find the missing satellite. They launch a new mission and use advanced technology to control a shuttle to navigate through the asteroid's debris. Lieutenant Kelsey Carlyle, one of the main characters, is tasked with driving the shuttle as it uses a Trojan crowbar to open up a secure passageway that had previously been blocked.

As they navigate through the asteroid's debris, they come across an abandoned lunar mine. Upon investigating further, it is revealed that the mine had been exploited for its rare minerals and was abandoned in a hurry after some crucial mining equipment failed. The team quickly realizes that the same people responsible for the mining operation have stolen the Starcom satellite and are using the stealth technology to hide it on the asteroid.

The team is forced to improvise when their initial plan of using a laser to cut through an asteroid to access the satellite fails. With time running out, they have to come up with a new plan and fast. Carlyle suggests using one of the abandoned mining equipment to drill into the asteroid.

The team successfully manages to drill through the asteroid's hard surface and penetrates the mining operation's facility. They finally find and secure the stolen satellite. Now that they have the satellite, the team uses a powerful transport beam to bring the satellite back to safety.

In the end, the Starcom team returns to Earth with their new found knowledge and technology, having saved the satellite and learned valuable lessons. Colonel Jameson decides that they must use the intelligence that they have gathered to help prevent such incidents from happening again.

The episode Trojan Crowbar is a thrilling and action-packed adventure that highlights the Starcom team's courage and determination in the face of significant challenges. As they navigate through the asteroid's debris and discover a hidden mining operation, they demonstrate their bravery and intelligence, making it a must-watch for all lovers of science fiction.
