Traveler generational ship

From SGCommand

"Nice ship. A little bit of a fixer-upper, but I can see the potential."

—John Sheppard

Traveler generational ships are ships used and constructed by the Travelers as their main battleships and as generational ships.

[edit] Overview

The Travelers have ships smaller than those of the Daedalus-class, which they live on board in order to escape being culled by the Wraith. They are capable of hyperspace travel and are equipped with energy shields capable of resisting immediate penetration by Asuran drone weapons as well as moderately powerful energy weapons, such as those used by the Vanir.

As the Travelers are primarily a space-faring race, they seldom land for repairs. Because of this, these ships are held together with a large amount of "jury rigging". This leads to the occurrence of several problems, making the ship "unsafe" in the eyes of Radek Zelenka.

These ships also have moderately powerful defensive and offensive capabilities. They are fast and maneuverable with moderately powerful shields and weapons capable of putting up a good fight against the Asurans and are more than a match for Vanir ships.

[edit] History

In 2007, John Sheppard's Puddle Jumper was disabled by a generational ship while he was on his way back to Atlantis after a resupply mission of a paradise world. The Jumper was hit by the ship's weapons and was taken into the ship's hanger. After being questioned and unsuccessfully hijacking their Aurora-class battleship, he was released, leaving the ship in his puddle jumper while a fleet of generational ships entered hyperspace in front of him. (ATL: "Travelers")

During the Battle of Asuras, six generational , one aroura class ship , seven Wraith Hive ships and 2 Daedalus-class ships  fought the Asurans. However, during the battle, one ship was destroyed. (ATL: "Be All My Sins Remember'd")

During the Battle of M6H-987, a single Traveler ship, commanded by Katana, successfully engaged and destroyed two Vanir starships. After the battle, the ship opened a hyperspace window large enough to encompass the Daedalus, preventing its collision with Janus' research outpost, as both ships emerged on the opposite side of the planet. After the Daedalus was safe, the ship fired at the outpost on the planet, destroying it and the Attero device. After sustaining moderate damage, the ship was taken to Atlantis where it was repaired with the help of Dr. Zelenka. (ATL: "The Lost Tribe")
