The History of the Bilskirnir, and O'Neill Class Vessels (Stargate SG1) x2

Bilskirnir-class motherships were the primary type of ship used by the Asgard. As with all Asgard warships, the Bilskinir class had a distinctive hammer shape with wings by the side and a grayish hull. They were among the largest ships constructed, far greater in size than Tauri or Goa'uld capital ships. The sensors of these ships were quite accurate and capable of detecting movements within the vessel should intruders board the craft. This included a type of thermal sensor which allowed for the detection of warm blooded organisms moving about the ship in case the primary internal sensors were disabled.

Named in honor of Jack O'Neill of the Tau'ri, O'Neill-class ships dwarfed both the Prometheus, 304s and Ha'tak class vessels in both size and firepower. These vessels carried the most advanced weapons created by the Asgard (excluding their plasma beam weapons which were developed later after their participation in combat against the Ori motherships). The O'Neill-class replaced the Bilskirnir-class ship as the Asgard vessel of choice when engaging hostile forces. These vessels were powered by an unknown number of Neutrino-ion generators, and possessed fifteen Asgard transporters. The Asgard were constructing an entire fleet of these ships to replace their Bilskirnir-class vessels, and already had several O'Neill-class ships constructed by the time of the Ori crusade.
