This unidentified hive ship was involved in the Battle of the Black Hole against the Tau'ri battlecruiser Odyssey in 2006.
History[]
This hive ship was relatively close to the former star system that hosted a black hole when the Tau'ri warship Odyssey’s crew unsuccessfully detonated a nuclear warhead in their attempts to jump a wormhole between two Stargates in the Pegasus and the Milky Way galaxies in order to activate the Supergate and prevent the Ori Army from sending more Ori warships as reinforcements for their crusade in the Milky Way. The hive’s approach was detected by Atlantis, which was unable to directly warn the Odyssey about the threat due to interference from the black hole, forcing the Atlantis expedition to contact the Stargate Command, which forwarded the warning to Teal'c who in turn was in an Al'kesh near the Supergate, on the receiving end of the intergalactic wormhole through which he informed the Odyssey.
The Odyssey’s sensors were unable to sense this hive ship’s emergence from hyperspace, and as soon as the Tau’ri warship moved away from the black hole, this hive ship opened fire. Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter suggested luring the hive closer to the wormhole in hopes that the interference would disable the jamming field, allowing to beam over a nuke. The Odyssey performed a slingshot maneuver that brought her closer to the black hole and increased her speed, passing near the Stargate in the process. As soon as the hive ship did the same and approached the Stargate, the nuke was beamed onboard, destroying the ship and causing the wormhole to jump to the Supergate. The hive ship’s demise also indirectly caused destruction of an Ori warship that was lured by Teal’c into the activated Supergate’s unstable vortex. (SG1: "The Pegasus Project")
