Asgard technology

The Asgard have a level of technology superior to that of Goa'uld. Their ships can cross thousands of light-years in minutes. They have also mastered teleportation and holographic imagery. Only one Asgard is required to operate their ships, which suggests they have many automated systems.

They can not reproduce; the continuance of the species remains through a process of cloning and transferring the mind, although this has caused a decay of the Asgard genome that will eventually make the species extinct unless the problem is solved. While the Asgard maintains a great fleet of ships with defensive capabilities, they altogether are not a militaristic race, and strongly disapprove of the use of technology for aggressive reasons.

The Asgard has at least 3 types of ships: the cruisers (Beliskner-class), the scientific ships (Daniel Jackson-class) and the battleships (O'Neill-class).
