The rest of the Daniel Jackson was separated along the center into two hull sections side by side, joined by two curving sections on the dorsal and ventral sides.Īs for offensive and defensive capabilities, the details are not known beyond conjecture. This may have been due more to Asgard drive technology than Asgard aesthetics. The Jackson shared design features with the Beliskner and O'Neill, for example the dual vertical rudders on the rear. As Thor's demonstration on Hala illustrated, its agility nearly rivaled the Al'Kesh, a much smaller Goa'uld vessel.

However, its maneuverability was extremely advanced for its size. Its engines showed no visible thrust when activated, similar to the O'Neill. It was most likely more massive than the Beliskner- and O'Neill-class ships, although no exact scaling was given. The ship appeared to be large, similar in size to a Ha'tak. Loki's ship of the same type did not demonstrate this ability, but it was never called upon to do so, so it could quite possibly have existed in all Asgard ships. This virtual design technology may have been just an extension of Asgard technology, and nothing specific to the Daniel Jackson. O'Neill's brain was interfaced with the ship and used to design an anti-Replicator weapon. In the case of Thor's ship, Daniel Jackson, it possessed the ability to virtually design and manufacture new technologies. The Jackson-class was used primarily as a laboratory, both for cloning and genetics technology and military technology for use against the Replicators. It was known to communicate via subspace transmissions, utilizing them to communicate with other vessels and with the Replicator blocks. The Jackson could also have been a class never planned for use in the war, and more of a mobile research facility. However, that was perhaps because the war was never about advanced technology, only advanced tactics. The unwarlike nature of this vessel was curious, considering it was seen before the end of the war with the Replicators. It was equipped with all standard Asgard technology: Asgard holographic communicators, beaming technology, sensor cloaks, hyperdrives, shields, weaponry, etc. It was shown to be more of an exploratory vessel than the previous O'Neill-class, which was fitting considering Daniel Jackson's scientific past and Jack O'Neill's military past. The Jackson-class was perhaps the most advanced Asgard design ever.
