The Asuran city-ship was a city-ship built by the Asurans. Based on Asuras, the city-ship was only a small part of a vast metropolis built by the Asurans in an effort to surpass the granduer the Ancients had made of Atlantis. Upon probing the minds of Atlantis 1 and learning that Atlantis had not been destroyed by the Wraith, as the rest of the galaxy believed, the Asuran city-ship was sent to destroy the city.
Rodney McKay, after freezing the Asurans, was able to rig the city's three ZPMs, causing it to explode in orbit over Lantea. However, the Atlantis Expedition was well aware that there were numerous more Asuran city-ships, possibly numbering into the hundreds. (ATL: "Progeny")
