Description: "An Asgard mothership. I've heard them described in Jaffa legend."
—Teal'c
The Bilskirnir-class, also known as an Asgard mothership, was a series of spaceships used by the Asgard at the height of their power.
Bilskirnir-class motherships were the primary type of ship used by Asgard race. They had a distinctive shape with a hammer style front with wings by the side and a grayish hull. 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.
They possessed an automated medical system that allowed for the healing of injured crewmen. However, it was possible to tamper with the system which was capable of killing an Asgard in the process. It included at least one medical stasis pod that can be used by the ship's Asgard commander in the event of a dire emergency.
The ship also contained a phase generator which emitted a subspace field which was deflected by certain systems in the ship. This in turn meant that the ship was incapable of tolerating an uncontrolled re-entry into a planet's atmosphere. Bilskirnir-class vessels were powered by a series of four neutrino-ion generators which produced an engine output of a maximum of one billion Earth kilojoules.
Such ships were more than a match for several standard Goa'uld Ha'tak motherships, although warships modified with Ancient technology by Anubis have been known to pose a greater threat. (SG1: "Nemesis")
