What is Anubis's Mothership?
History of Anubis's Mothership
Anubis's mothership was a new class of Goa'uld vessel, in service around 2003, designed to serve as the flagship of the Goa'uld Anubis. It was the most advanced warship ever devised by the Goa'uld and had the power to destroy planets. Two such vessels are known to have existed, with the second one having served as a replacement after the destruction of the first. 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. 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 were shown able to destroy at least 3 Ha'tak vessels in one salvo. Anubis's 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.
