The Goon Sunrise was one of four warships selected by Elliott Parks to go the Mitikas Empire and assist in the search for Jason Zackaria. In contrast to Agent 57 and Colonel K, the Goon Sunrise's purpose was to deploy ground troops and hardware to planet surfaces, should the need arise.

Like Griffin, the Goon Sunrise saw a number of scuffles and fights break out between the crew, as food shortages and rationing began to take their toll.
