Maurice Vidrine

General Vidrine oversaw the development and operations of Earth's fleet of spacecraft built using alien technology, including the X-301 and BC-303.

Vidrine was present during flight tests of the X-301 in 2000, at which time he met SG-1; he was unimpressed by Col. Jack O'Neill's sense of humor. After the X-301 malfunctioned, sending O'Neill and Teal'c into deep space, Vidrine returned to the Pentagon to manage efforts from there.

By 2003, Vidrine had been promoted to four-star General, and his responsibilities included overseeing the mining of naquadah to construct BC-303s. After hostile Unas were encountered near a potentially major naquadah deposit on P3X-403, Vidrine traveled to the SGC to manage the situation directly. He allowd Daniel to attempt to negotiate a settlement with the Unas, but authorized deadly force in the defense of the mining operation and was prepared to attempt to forcibly relocate the Unas if talks were to fail.
