Needle Threader

From SGCommand

A Needle Threader is a specialized death glider constructed by the Goa'uld that can travel through the Stargate in a similar maner to Ancient puddle jumpers but unlike them provides no automatic navigation through stargates, and was discontinued after it proved too difficult to master.

[edit] Overview

It carries two crew, a pilot and a gunner, although just like the ordinary death glider, it can operate with just a pilot. While the normal death glider has two anhedral or down-pointing wings, this craft has one curved into a cylinder around the central hull and the tied by horizontal airfoils tying the first to the fuselage. The craft has two energy weapons, similar to staff cannons, which has a range of 70 meters. (SG1: "Into the Fire")^[1] The ship is powered by a Naquadah reactor, is fueled by Naquadah and has a hull made out of Trinium. The ships length is 4 meters and its width and height is 6.5 meters. ^[1]

[edit] History

This ship was used when SG-1 was being held by Hathor's forces. It was hidden away by Bra'tac around one hundred years previously. It was used to attack the gate on P3X-254, and ultimately led to the SGC gaining control of the gate. Since this time, it is unknown what has happened to the death glider. (SG1: "Into the Fire")
