Vanir starships are spaceships built by a rogue group of Asgard in the Pegasus galaxy known as the Vanir.
Overview
Similar in size to the Prometheus, these ships are equipped with an electromagnetic field which allowed them to pass through Atlantis' shield without resistance by mimicking the field generated by Ancient ships, although the shield has since been reconfigured to prevent this. These vessels are capable of dropping soldiers vertically from a drop bay and subsequently retrieving them via use of the Lost Tribe elevator, the only known room inside the ship consists of a brig equipped with "laser force shields" that emit a painful jolt when touched. The ship is also capable of interstellar hyperspace travel, and can enter and exit hyperspace within a planet's atmosphere, which may or may not prove the fact that they are more advanced than other starships. Their weapons and shields are far inferior to the ships of their Ida galaxy brethren, as it only takes a few shots from a Traveler generational ship to destroy them.

History
A Lost tribe ship engages a Traveler ship.
In the Battle of M6H-987, two of the three Vanir starships engaged a Traveler ship while the third escaped to hyperspace. They were revealed to be only slightly larger than a Traveler ship, which proved to be a match for them. One was destroyed when it and the Traveler ship fought at point-blank range, and the other was destroyed later in a brief exchange of fire on the far side of M6H-987.
As the Vanir arrived in the Pegasus galaxy 10,000 years ago, their offensive and defensive technology is less advanced than their mainstream Asgard counterparts, as those Asgard fought the Replicators and had to develop more advanced weapons, shield technology, and ships to effectively fight them, and also because the planet the Lost Tribe settled on didn't even have the necessary resources to build a single intergalactic hyperdrive, much less ships capable of combating the Wraith.
