The Troopship was a Goa'uld ship used to transport Jaffa to the surface of a planet a Goa'uld intended to conquer.
Overview
Similar in appearance to a Tel'tak but taller, it carried large numbers of Jaffa, and may have been able to dock inside Ha'taks. However, it is unknown if the craft contains weapons, shields or a cloaking device.
History
The Troopship was first seen landing at the staging ground around the Stargate on Revanna during the Battle of Revanna.
One was seen by Rya'c on the planet Anubis' World. It was parked on the surface with several Death Gliders at the base near the Stargate destroyer. (SG1: "Redemption, Part 2")
When Anubis traveled to Abydos to locate the Eye of Ra, he sent a squadron of Death Gliders to the surface along with a Troopship full of Jaffa. When the ship landed, Teal'c fired a FIM-92 Stinger missile at it but it had little effect. (SG1: "Full Circle")
Following the fall of the Goa'uld Empire, several Troopships fell into the hands of the Lucian Alliance. One of the ships was used in their attack on Icarus Base. (SGU: "Air, Part 1")
