Another concept I was thinking of was a special variant of a Goa'uld pyramid ship equipped with a solar-based superweapon.
To activate the superweapon, the apex of the pyramid splits open and slides into the ship to reveal a massive chamber taking up the majority of the interior of the pyramid ship, which cannot land on pyramids now due to a flattened bottom.
Once the large interior chamber is open to space, the superweapon forms a hyperspatial link between the core of the local star and the centre of the ship. The superweapon can then fire a promenance-like river of plasma at an enemy ship, effortlessly vaporising them. Intense energy fields confine the solar plasma and direct the flare, alowing it to form a chain effect, hitting one ship and then flowing into another. The ship cannot use it's weapon in deep space, or too far away from a star to form a hyperspatial link.
The 'superweapon' was not intended to be a weapon, but instead to study the solar plasma and the physics of stars by looking into the heart of the star and it's contents.
Otherwise the ship is unarmed, and is equipped with more specialised shields that allow it to survive harsh solar conditions, but are weaker when fired upon. The ship also does not possess a hyperdrive, and must be towed through hyperspace by another ship.
The ship was intended mainly as a research vessel.
The ship was constructed a long time ago by a Goa'uld scientist specialising in the study of solar phenomenon. However, due to a malfunction his ship was pulled into the star and he was presumably killed.
