'''Anubis' mothership''' was a new class of [[Goa'uld]] vessel, in service around [[2003]], designed to serve as the flagship of the [[Goa'uld]] [[Anubis]]. Two such vessels are known to have existed, with the second one having served as a replacement after the [[Battle to destroy Anubis' mothership|destruction]] of the first. {{cite|SG1|Full Circle|Fallen|Homecoming}}

Superior in both size and power to any other [[Goa'uld]] vessel previously constructed, and constructed using a combination of Goa'uld and [[Ancient technology]], this ship far surpassed the [[Ha'tak]]-class vessels utilized by the other Goa'uld [[System Lord]]s, in part aiding in [[Anubis]]' efforts to conquer the galaxy.
−
Anubis had two motherships built. The base design of the motherships was a massive disc-shaped vessel with numerous spikes protruding from the edges of the vessel. Unlike the [[Ha'tak]] class vessel, this mothership did not contain a pyramid on its top but instead had a dome-shaped structure present. The dome contained a powerful plasma superweapon which was built into the vessel. When activated, the dome rose and extended into a flower pattern which serves as the emitters for the superweapon. {{Cite|SG1|Full Circle}}

The base design of the mothership was a massive disc-shape surrounded by numerous spikes protruding from the vessel's edges. Unlike the Ha'tak, this mothership did not posses a central pyramid-structure but rather a large dome. When opened, the several large panels that composed the dome retracted to reveal Anubis' unique and powerful [[Anubis' superweapon|Plasma superweapon]]. When activated and powered sufficiently, this weapon was capable of decimating an entire fleet of Ha'tak-class ships with relative ease. The dome also contained an [[Anubis' escape pod|escape vessel]] allowing the commanding Goa'uld to escape.
−
In case of an emergency or ship destruction, the top part of the dome also contained an [[Anubis' escape ship|escape vessel]] allowing the commanding Goa'uld escape. {{Cite|SG1|Homecoming}}

The ship contained numerous emplacements where standard Goa'uld [[weapons]] were situated on turrets. These weapons contained two large cannons that fire [[Staff cannon]]-like bolts which were used as its standard weapons and also served as a point defense weapon against enemy fighters.
 
  +
The ship contained numerous heavy plasma turrets, capable of making this vessel a truly formidable craft even without the [[Anubis' superweapon|central superweapon]]. Each turret was composed of two large cannons, which fired [[Staff cannon]]-like bolts. While posing great threat to enemy capital ships, smaller fighters (such as the [[Tau'ri]] [[F-302 fighter-interceptor]]) were, in some cases, able to evade these weapons through out-maneuvering. However, the mothership also carried over fifty [[Death Glider]]s capable of dealing with such crafts. {{Cite|SG1|Fallen}}
   
−
The primary weapon of the vessel, however, was its [[Anubis' superweapon|superweapon]]. This was a massive device that was built into the dome of the mothership and required the [[Eyes of the Goa'uld]] to activate. Once attached, the weapon extended and fired yellow bolts of energy that was capable of extending across space and striking any enemy vessels nearby. These bolts were easily capable of destroying multiple [[Ha'tak]] vessels. {{Cite|SG1|Full Circle|Fallen}}
 +
The vessel also possessed a powerful [[Anubis' superweapon|superweapon]]. Built into the dome of the mothership, this weapon could only be successfully powered by the [[Eyes of the Goa'uld]]. Once all of the eyes were interfaced with the ship, the weapon extended from the super-structure of the ship and fired bolts of energy similar to lightning in appearance. These bolts were capable of extending across space, striking numerous ships all at once and destroying them with relative ease. The bolts are shown able to destroy up to 3 [[Ha'tak]] vessels in one salvo. {{Cite|SG1|Full Circle|Fallen}}

Anubis' mothership boasted a powerful energy-[[shield]] capable of protecting the vessel from even the intense bombardment of an entire [[Goa'uld]] fleet. Weapons fire that struck the shield resulted in an orange energy field extending across the craft protecting the hull from damage. However, when in the atmosphere of a planet, the shield strength was reduced to only 40% effectiveness. It was this weakness that eventually lead to the destruction of the first ship at the hands of a fleet of Goa'uld ships in orbit of [[Langara]]. {{Cite|SG1|Homecoming}}

−
However, the shields on the Anubis' motherships were so powerful that they once withstood an entire Goa'uld fleet attacking them. The only way Goa'uld fleet was able to defeat the shields was when the mothership entered the atmosphere of [[Langara]]. One weakness of the shield system was that its performance was severely degraded when the mothership was within the atmosphere of a planet. The shield strength was reduced to only 40% effectiveness when exposed to atmosphere, severely compromising the defense capabilities of the mothership. {{Cite|SG1|Homecoming}} Another time that the shields were penetrated was during a dangerous manuver where a [[F-302]] jumped past the shield though hyperspace. The only weapon that was capable of easily bypassing the shields were the [[Drone weapon]]s; however, drone weapons are so powerful that they tend to go though any shield. {{Cite|SG1|Lost City, Part 2}}

"Holy crap! Look at that thing. It's huge!"
―Jack O'Neill[src]

Anubis' mothership was a new class of Goa'uld vessel, in service around 2003, designed to serve as the flagship of the Goa'uld Anubis. Two such vessels are known to have existed, with the second one having served as a replacement after the destruction of the first. (SG1: "Full Circle", "Fallen", "Homecoming")

Overview

Anubis' superweapon

Anubis' superweapon

Superior in both size and power to any other Goa'uld vessel previously constructed, and constructed using a combination of Goa'uld and Ancient technology, this ship far surpassed the Ha'tak-class vessels utilized by the other Goa'uld System Lords, in part aiding in Anubis' efforts to conquer the galaxy.

The base design of the mothership was a massive disc-shape surrounded by numerous spikes protruding from the vessel's edges. Unlike the Ha'tak, this mothership did not posses a central pyramid-structure but rather a large dome. When opened, the several large panels that composed the dome retracted to reveal Anubis' unique and powerful Plasma superweapon. When activated and powered sufficiently, this weapon was capable of decimating an entire fleet of Ha'tak-class ships with relative ease. The dome also contained an escape vessel allowing the commanding Goa'uld to escape.

Technological features

Weapon systems

File:AnubisShipTurret.jpg

A turret aiming at a F-302 fighter-interceptor.

"I am unsure of the destructive power of this weapon. The blast radius from a single shot could conceivably encompass the entire city."
―Anubis' Goa'uld Lieutenant[src]

The ship contained numerous heavy plasma turrets, capable of making this vessel a truly formidable craft even without the central superweapon. Each turret was composed of two large cannons, which fired Staff cannon-like bolts. While posing great threat to enemy capital ships, smaller fighters (such as the Tau'ri F-302 fighter-interceptor) were, in some cases, able to evade these weapons through out-maneuvering. However, the mothership also carried over fifty Death Gliders capable of dealing with such crafts. (SG1: "Fallen")

The vessel also possessed a powerful superweapon. Built into the dome of the mothership, this weapon could only be successfully powered by the Eyes of the Goa'uld. Once all of the eyes were interfaced with the ship, the weapon extended from the super-structure of the ship and fired bolts of energy similar to lightning in appearance. These bolts were capable of extending across space, striking numerous ships all at once and destroying them with relative ease. The bolts are shown able to destroy up to 3 Ha'tak vessels in one salvo. (SG1: "Full Circle", "Fallen")

Defensive systems

File:A-mothership (3).png

Weapons fire impacts the shields.

Anubis' mothership boasted a powerful energy-shield capable of protecting the vessel from even the intense bombardment of an entire Goa'uld fleet. Weapons fire that struck the shield resulted in an orange energy field extending across the craft protecting the hull from damage. However, when in the atmosphere of a planet, the shield strength was reduced to only 40% effectiveness. It was this weakness that eventually lead to the destruction of the first ship at the hands of a fleet of Goa'uld ships in orbit of Langara. (SG1: "Homecoming")

The only weapons powerful enough at the time to pierce these shields under normal circumstances are Ancient Drone weapons. (SG1: "Lost City, Part 2")

Power systems

The power core.

"We've been hit. The core is overloading. We must power down the weapon."
―Her'ak[src]

A powerful reactor system was housed in the center of the ship and provided power to such systems as standard weapons, shields and hyperdrive. However, using the Eyes of the Goa'uld, the total power of the ship could be increased 10-fold, enabling the use of the Superweapon. (SG1: "Full Circle")

After the destruction of the Eyes, attempts were made at using Naquadria as a power source to substitute that of the Eyes. Despite initial successful experimentation, an overload occurred which damaged the craft. (SG1: "Homecoming")

Other systems

Like most Goa'uld starships, Anubis's mothership contained a hyperdrive allowing for faster-than-light travel within the Milky Way galaxy. In addition to this, the vessel contained the Transportation rings system allowing for the deployment of troops onto a planet which contained another receiving set of rings. (SG1: "Full Circle", "Fallen")

Locations

Bridge

The Pel'tak of Anubis' mothership was large: it had 2 computer outlets, one sitting by the window, the other computer built like a table which the first prime would stand at. The main entrance had statues of Anubis; there was a platform adjacent to the larger window, which contained Anubis's Throne.

History

Battle with the System Lords

"Yu has pledged to bring the full force of the remaining system lords' fleet down on Anubis."
―Samantha Carter[src]

The first mothership was constructed at an unknown time, but was first seen in-action by 2003. Utilized by the fallen System Lord Anubis, it served as the flagship of his fleet in his attempts at dominating the High Council of System Lords in order to become the overall leader of the Goa'uld Empire. To that end, he began a galaxy-wide search for the Eyes of the Goa'uld, which would give him an incredible advantage over the other Goa'uld and enable him to successfully power his new superweapon. This eventually led him to the planet Abydos in search of the final eye, the Eye of Ra.

Lord Yu's fleet attacks the ship

During a standoff against SG-1, the mothership was surrounded by Ha'tak motherships under the command of Lord Yu, who demanded his immediate surrender. However, Anubis was able to trick the Ascended Dr. Daniel Jackson into giving him the Eye of Ra under the promise of leaving the people of Abydos alone. Anubis was then able unleashed the full power of his superweapon against Yu's fleet, which was decimated. Anubis then used the weapon to destroy the planet Abydos, having gone against his promise to Daniel Jackson. (SG1: "Full Circle")

File:Mothership destroys Abydos.jpg

The Mothership destroys Abydos.

Anubis' ongoing search for the Lost City of the Ancients (as to gain technological superiority over the Goa'uld System Lords) later lead him to the planet of Vis Uban; the location of which he discovered from faked Ancient records detailing a city there. That Jonas Quinn and Jackson created and was planted with the help of the Tok'ra. Once in orbit around the planet, he deployed soldiers to find details on the Lost City but found out it was a trick orchestrated by the Tau'ri who infiltrated his mothership and used one of their F-302 fighter-interceptors to attack a weak point in the flagship's power core which destroyed the power source. (SG1: "Fallen")

This resulted in the loss of Anubis's chief advantage over the other Goa'uld but he managed to learn from a captured Jonas of a powerful variation of Naquadah that was located on his homeworld. To that end, Anubis traveled to Langara in order to conquer it and use the planet's ore to refuel his motherships superweapon. However, the ore ultimately proved too unstable to be used as a viable power source. Furthermore, Anubis was thwarted in his attempts at securing Thanos's research by SG-1 who managed to convince Lord Ba'al to attack Anubis's mothership whilst it was in the atmosphere of Kelowna. His mothership was destroyed but not before Anubis managed to retreat in his escape craft. (SG1: "Homecoming")

Attack on Earth

"Our shields are of no use!"
―Her'ak[src]

Despite the loss of his original flagship, Anubis returned in yet another ship of similar design to lead a massive Goa'uld fleet to Earth in the hopes of claiming the Lost City of the Ancients. After arriving in the system, he probed the planet's defenses and attempted to lay claim to the Ancient outpost discovered to be in Antarctica. However, his efforts were thwarted by Colonel Jack O'Neill, who utilized the outpost's defenses, thus releasing a massive swarm of Ancient Drone weapons that completely obliterated Anubis' fleet, thus destroying his flagship. (SG1: "Lost City, Part 2")

Alternate timelines

In an alternate timeline where the Stargate program never existed, this massive mothership was in the service of the Sovereign Ba'al who used it as his flagship. Taking his armada of vessels he traveled to Earth in order to bring it within his empire. After Ba'al's death at the hands of Qetesh the ship fell to her command and was later used to transport her to the planet Praxyon while her fleet bombarded Earth. (SG1: "Continuum")

    Some issues of The DVD Collection magazine are known to contain errors with respect to the dimensions they provide for spaceships. Dimensions for the same class of ship may vary between issues. The dimensions given in an issue may contradict how the ship visually appears on screen. The dimensions of two ships which appear similarly sized on screen may be given different measurements in The DVD Collection magazines. However, as the DVD Collection Magazines are officially licensed by MGM (and thus considered canon) Stargate Wiki includes them, while noting the apparent discrepancies in instances where they occur. See policy and List of spaceships by size for more information.
