Daniel Jackson class starship
Encyclopedia : D : DA : DAN : Daniel Jackson class starship
The Daniel Jackson is an Asgard starship in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. It is commanded by Thor, the Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet, and was named in honor of SG-1 member Dr. Daniel Jackson, with whom Thor has developed a friendship since they first met in 1998.
Technical Info
This ship is described as a science vessel and thus lacks the firepower of the O'Neill class battleship. However it is equipped with shields that protect it from most weapon fire (even from a Replicator-controlled Ha'tak) but the shields don't protect it from fired Replicator blocks. The Daniel Jackson is also able to materialise a computer-generated object, an ability which Thor uses when he materialises the Replicator disruptor after O'Neill designed it while linked with the computer. However it is possible that every Asgard ship has this ability. Later Thor installs a larger variant of this disruptor in his ship which has the ability to destroy every Replicator on a ship or a planet. In terms of size the ship isn't as big as the other two known Asgard ships and has roughly the size of a Ha'tak.History
The ship was introduced in the Season Seven episode "Fragile Balance", where it (or a ship of similar class) was used by Asgard renegade cloning scientist Loki, who used it to do genetic researches on Earth and especially with Col. O'Neill.It later appeared in the Season Eight premiere episode "New Order", where Thor revealed the name of the ship. Thor used the ship to watch as the Replicators were pulled into a black hole, which was created when the Asgard destroyed the Halla sun. However some Replicators survived, formed a ship and attacked the Daniel Jackson (which couldn't escape since the gravitational forces of the black hole prevented the use of the hyperspace engines). Several Replicators then entered the ship when they fired a Replicator block on the ship, which easily bypassed the ship's shields. However Teal'c and Major Carter were able to destroy all of them. Later the ship flew to Earth where it beamed up O'Neill (who was in stasis due to the Ancient knowledge in his mind) so that he would help the Asgard create a weapon against the Replicators. The Col. was able to create a Disruptor weapon which was then incorporated into the Daniel Jackson so that it would destroy all Replicators on the Asgard world Orilla.
Several months later, Thor worked together with Major Carter on a new version for the Replicator Disruptor. They were able to find a new modulation and so they attacked a Replicator-controlled Goa'uld mothership. While they were able to destroy all Replicators on one mothership, a second arrived on which the Disruptor wasn't working, so they had to flee. However several Replicators entered the ship and Thor was forced to bring it as far away from Earth as possible. Thor was severely injured in the process and was forced to download his consciousness into the vessel's database. Fortunately, the vessel was not destroyed and its commander's mind was subsequently transferred to a new clone body.
Notes
- Dr. Daniel Jackson is portrayed by Michael Shanks.
- The Daniel Jackson class ship is about the same size as a Ha'tak, much smaller then the O'Neill or Beliskner class ships.
