The Daniel Jackson is a fictional class of starship in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, the class is of Asgard origin. It is commanded by Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet, and is named in honour of SG-1 member Dr. Daniel Jackson, with whom Thor has developed a friendship since they first met in second season episode "Thor's Chariot".

[edit] Technical information

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) though the shields do not 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.

[edit] History

The ship was introduced in the Season Seven episode "Fragile Balance", where it (or a ship of similar class) was used by Loki, a renegade Asgard scientist, for his genetic cloning research on Earth - and on Jack O'Neill in particular.

The name of the ship was revealed in the Season Eight premiere episode "New Order", in which Thor used the ship to observe the Replicators being pulled into a black hole, created when the Asgard artificially increased a sun's mass, collapsing it. However, some Replicators survived to form a ship which attacked the Daniel Jackson. Unable to use hyperspace engines due to the immense gravitational forces present, the ship was unable to escape. Several Replicators were able to enter the ship through the firing of multiple Replicator blocks onto the hull, effectively bypassing the ship's shields. Despite this, Teal'c and Samantha Carter were able to repel and eliminate the invaders.

The ship later flew to Earth, from which it transported Jack O'Neill; in stasis due to the Ancient knowledge in his mind, Jack was successfully revived and was able to assist the Asgard in the creation of a weapon for use against the Replicators. This "Disruptor" weapon was later incorporated into the Daniel Jackson, enabling the Asgard to cleanse their world, Orilla, of the Replicator threat.

Following the Replicator attack on the Milky Way galaxy, the Daniel Jackson was infested by replicators attempting to trial methods of allowing for the disruptor technology to affect the replicators. Samantha Carter was successfully evacuated from the ship to Earth by Thor before he directed the ship into Deep Space. Thor himself abandoned ship by transferring his consciousness into a new body. The fate of the Daniel Jackson remains unknown after the ship was abandoned, presumably it was consumed for materials to produce new replicator blocks. (The Reckoning Part 1).
