Database >> Ancient Ships >> Puddle Jumper
The Puddle Jumper is a small craft of Ancient design, capable of travelling through the Stargate. It has a roughly cylindrical shape, with two small pods on the side which retract when the vessel lands or enters the wormhole. Contained within the pods are up to six Ancient drone weapons which can be fired via the interface in the cockpit.
Additionally, the Puddle Jumper possesses a cloaking device that, when activated, renders the craft invisible to the naked eye. The cloak can only be engaged during flight or when the ship has landed on a planet.
The inside of the Puddle Jumper is split into two sections - the cockpit and rear compartment. The two are separated by a partition which can be raised or lowered, depending on the purpose.
As the Puddle Jumper is regularly used through the Atlantis Stargate, it possesses advanced braking systems, that allow it to come to a standstill the moment it exits the Stargate. The Atlantis team frequently use Puddle Jumpers on offworld missions.
