Daedalus
|
The Daedalus is the first Terran Warship of the BC-304 (Battle Cruiser 304) design built by the Tau'ri in 2004/2005. It is part of the Fast Attack Wing branch of the USAF, a branch which is top secret and tied to the SGC. (This branch includes all SGC spacecraft and F-302 interceptors.)
It integrates Asgard and other technologies, and has more upgrades and is easier to handle than its predecessor, the Prometheus. Its purpose is to defend the Earth and offworld SGC assets, and assist in various missions. It has become the Tau'ri link between the Milky Way and the Pegasus Galaxy, running milk runs with supplies. A one-way journey between Earth and New Lantea takes an average of 27 days in hyperspace. Due to its several Asgard-based systems, though adapted for the Daedalus, one Asgard is a permanent part of the crew to advise them, Hermiod. nou ani atlantus[information missing]

The Daedalus is instrumental in charting and exploring the Pegasus Galaxy, helping the Expedition with updating Ancient starmaps in the database. The ship assist with collecting selected Stargates for the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Bridge, which begins construction in 2006. Caldwell and his crew are present when the Bridge is first tested by Major Lorne, who uses the newly-constructed Midway Station to cross from the Pegasus Galaxy to Earth and back again. During this mission, the Deadalus' sensors detect an anomaly which Dr McKay interprets as a possible UFO flying at near-lightspeed. They manage to make contact with the ship, revealing an Ancient vessel and her surviving crew. KNOWN CREWStargate Command | Tau'ri (2004-)
