To date only two ships of this class have been found and identified, The Aurora and The Orion. As of now, no enemy has been able to send any material through, unlike the SG-1 Iris.Īn interstellar battleship used by the Ancients in their struggle with the Wraith. It is controlled through the Stargate console and allows electromagnetic transmissions to pass through like the SG-1 based Iris. A unique identifier describing person and team, changed on a daily basis to maintain security.Ī holdover from the SG-1 universe, the Ancients built an energy based aperture to prevent unwanted guests from appearing through the Atlantis base Stargate. Another holdover from the SG-1 universe, a device to transmit a coded IDC identifying a team and giving Atlantis the choice to grant or deny access. Major Sheppard believes this was a security measure put in place by the Ancients.Ī.K.A. That eighth chevron acts as the equivalent of the international prefix on a telephone call. Uniquely, it has an additional control-crystal built into its DHD (dial home device) that allows an eighth chevron to lock during the dialing sequence. The Atlantis Stargate is the only one in the Pegasus galaxy that can dial Earth. Built into the console of the Puddle Jumper. Portable remote-control device that sends a radio signal with the sender's personal identification code (IDC) that activates a Stargate. However, the Daedalus' ZPM is being used to maintain protective shielding around Atlantis, so intergalactic trips take nearly a month.ĭHD - Dial Home Device (note that some of the ones in Atlantis are different, more like a computer console) While the Asgard hyperdrive is capable of moving Daedalus between the Pegasus Galaxy without the aid of a ZPM, that time can be cut down to a mere four days with a ZPM plugged into the drive. Furthermore it is equipped with a standard Asgard shield, which is able to withstand many other races' weapons systems. The ship is equipped with Asgard sensors, Asgard teleporters, an Asgard intergalactic hyperdrive and a vast array of offensive capabilities including but not limited to railguns, missiles (nuclear and conventional), energy based weaponry, and a hangar of F-302s. The Daedalus is equipped with substantial improvements over the original X-303, the Prometheus, and only resembles the prototype BC-303 superficially in design.

An Earth based mothership, the first production-model BC-303 battlecruiser to be produced.
