This unidentified hive ship participated in Wraith Queen Nightwind's attempt to reach Earth. It was destroyed by the Atlantis expedition in the Battle of the Void.
History[]
Nightwind's hive ship and her sister on their way to Earth.
This hive ship was supposedly an enemy to Queen Nightwind and her hive, which attempted to make an alliance with the Atlantis expedition in order to gain access to the Iratus bug retrovirus which would turn rival Wraith into human form to be fed upon. As part of the test, Daedalus would beam a canister into the “enemy” hive ship's CO2 scrubbing chamber, where it would release the retrovirus in aerosol form that would spread over the entire ship, converting all Wraith aboard.
However, when the Daedalus emerged from hyperspace were both hive ships were located, they both attacked the Tau'ri warship and left battle in order to reach Earth. Using a computer virus transmitted to Atlantis along with information on Wraith technology (which it erased), Nightwind's fleet gained access to Earth's coordinates as well as Aurora mission reports which contained information about advanced hyperdrive technology, which was used to improve performance of both Wraith ships.
Just outside the Pegasus Galaxy, the ships left hyperspace in order to regenerate themselves, allowing the Tau'ri to intercept them. While the Daedalus was unable to strike this hive ship with its nuclear missiles, the Orion, an Aurora-class battleship operated by the Atlantis expedition, destroyed her with drone weapons. However, the Orion herself was soon lost to the firepower of Nightwind's hive ship. (SGA: "Allies", "No Man's Land")
