The USIS Utah is a US Imperial Navy battlecruiser that was shot down by Arm of Orion anti-orbital cannons during the initial invasion of planet New Madrid. All hands were lost as the ship plummeted from high orbit, crashing down on New Madrid's surface. The ship's vital data core, however, was still intact. The 8th Armored Division's 1st Recon Platoon managed to recover sensitive data from the ship's wreckage before the ARM of Orion's troops could, preventing sensitive USIF military intelligence from falling into the hands of the ARM.
