Daedalus Class

The BC-304 Daedalus class cruiser is the second generation of Earth ships developed by the United States and its allies. The Daedalus class ships are equipped with Earth technology including, but not limited to rail guns, Mark VIII Tactical Nukes and a small wing of F-302 fighters. Incorporated into the design are Asgard shields, beaming technology, and hyperdrive engines.

When a ZPM compliments its power systems, the Daedalus class is able to travel from Earth, in the Milky Way galaxy, to Atlantis, in the Pegasus Galaxy, in only 4 days, instead of 18 days under normal power consummation. The first ship of the class was commanded by Colonel Steven Caldwell, it's mission to render aid to the Atlantis expedition trapped in the Pegasus galaxy and defeat a convoy of Wraith hive ships bent on destroying the Ancient city.

To date, four Daedalus class interstellar ships have been built, three of which are still in active service. The Korolev, a Russian operated cruiser, was destroyed in an attempt to repel an Ori Attack on the Milky Way galaxy. Currently, the United States military can only build two Daedalus cruisers at one time and are normally crewed by United States Air Force personnel.

Ships of the class:

- USS Daedalus

- USS Odyssey

- Korolev (Destroyed)

- USS Apollo
