Earth-based technologies

[Akren Garkos]

The people of the Tau'ri are only recent new-commers to the technological race for advanced sciencitfic achievements. Having said this, the people of Earth are known for their resourcefulness, commitment & dedication to knowledge & advancement; & are quick thinkers & great innovators. It is this innvoation which has lead to a variety of technologies, the most important of which we will discuss here.

The Daedalus is the next generation warship of the USAF, assigned to the Atlantis mission in the Pegasus Galaxy to protect the Ancients city from the Wraith threat. Somewhat larger then the venerable Prometheus class Battle Cruiser prototype, Daedalus was initially described as her sister ship, heavily implying they were the same class.

However that said, Daedalus is not a 303. Daedalus looks like a 303 hull, with the command tower pounded and flattened into an almost 'hat' shape for the ships body. Then the two nacelles stretched into full sized hangers. Assuming the 'nose' of both ships are the same general size as their common design suggests, Daedalus is clearly a more massive ship (if not that much larger in dimensions).

Ships in this class include:

• The George Hammond (U.S.)
  
• The Daedalus (U.S.)
  
• The Apollo (U.S.)
  
• The Odyssey (U.S.)
  
• The Korolev (Russian - destroyed circa 2008)
  
• The Sun Tzu (Chinese)

Code name for the X-303 project, Earth's first large-scale vessel capable of interstellar travel. The vessel is equipped with Hyperspace engines, and can also operate in a planet's atmosphere and land on the surface. Research and development for the hyperdrive -- powered by Naquadria -- cost the U.S. over $2 billion.

Prometheus's main purpose is to serve as a platform for the defense of Earth. The ship can achieve orbit in less than 30 seconds, and utilizing the sub-light engines, can travel at 110,000 miles per second. The corridors of the vessel are constructed of Trinium alloys.

The Prometheus was destroyed by an Orii satellite weapon in an engagement with the Rand Protectorate.
