Atlantis' hive ships

Atlantis' hive ship was a hive ship stolen from the Wraith by the Atlantis Expedition. They have commandeered several Hive ships in their time in the Pegasus galaxy.

Functions and Operating use
After the Orion destroyed a Wraith hive-ship, another opened fire on the Orion and quickly destroyed it. Then, after the Wraith retrovirus was deployed, the remaining hive-ship's Wraith were quickly converted to Human-form Wraith, though the queen was not. Atlantis then boarded the ship, and were met with no resistance. After finding the Wraith queen, and discovering that she had not been converted, they then killed her. As there were no Wraith aboard, the Tau'ri had a fully functioning Wraith hive-ship at their disposal, along with the Daedalus.

Some time later, however, John Sheppard took the hive-ship to destroy a group of humanized Wraith. Just as he was doing so, another Hive-ship came and destroyed the Atlantis hive-ship, thus leaving the Atlantis Expedition empty handed.

The Atlantis Expedition later managed to start salvaging a Wraith Hive-ship, but it was destroyed in a frontal collision with a Wraith Queen's Wraith cloning facility at a secret Wraith outpost. It had previously been attacked by the Queen's hive-ship and almost completely destroyed by the other hive-ship.
