I know originally the Promethius was designed to run on Naquadria. Is the Daedelus this way too? Are both ships running on ion drives or just naqueda? I just wanted to know because I'm writing a script, and it involves this sort of thing.

It hasn't really been addressed, but i would think that it would be powered by the asgard hyperdrive. They must have a lot of naquadah generators for providing secondary power to shields weapons and other secondary systems, or they're being powered by some kind of asgard power source.

The human-built hyperdrive was the only thing that ran on naquadria. It had aerospike engines (which are real but haven't been implemented yet, see wikipedia) combined with a reverse engineered inertial dampening system...plus they may have somewhat reverse engineered the anti-inertial drive that the death gliders used by the time Prometheus was built. I'm pretty sure the ship was powered by naquadah generators, naquadria was only used for the hyperdrive. Since they have Asgard hyperdrives now, there's no more any need for naquadria (except for bombs), and I assume that the Asgard equipment would be powered by some sort of Asgard power source, with the sublight and human built stuff being powered by naquadah generators.

I wonder how much power one of those Asgard power sources would put out, Thor's ship had 4 of them, wonder how many the Daedalus has.Last edited by WhiteHelljumper; 04 February 2006, 08:31 PM.

That is very possibly. But I certainly do not believe that the Asgard would have given us one of their best hyperdrives. There are most likely to have given us one of their oldest model secondhand hyperdrive engines that was probably sitting in a Asgard junkyard before being reconditioned and given to us petty Humans.

The only really logical answer would be some sort of Naquahdah powered reactors. Possibly fusion reactors or some other nuclear variant like Fission. Although Fission isn't a particularly efficient power source for large vessels, even in boats there's a lot of wasted energy that wouldnt go down well with a vessel that's running with limited resources, like a spacecraft.

The Hyperdrive has no powersource of its own. Not even the Asgard Intergalactic Hyperdrive. Even that must have a seperate power source. The Hyperdrive is just an Engine... not a power generator. Many people are constantly under the mistaken impression that the Asgard Hyperdrives have their own power source, but that is an unwarranted assumption. Even the Asgard ships, have seperate power sources that provide energy to their Hyperdrives.
The Earth Battlecruisers also have multiple Naquada Generators located through out the ship. They provide power for virtually all the other systems aboard ship. It is actually useful to have a non-centralized power grid. Even if one generator fails, the others can continue to provide power.The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is so vast, and we are so small, there is only truly one thing we can control; whether we are good or evil... -Oma Desala
