U.S.S. Columbia

"Attention all hands. I know you are all anxious to get started but I want to remind you what’s at stake here."

- Colonel Walter Anderson

The Columbia is the first BC-310 produced by the Tau'ri and the Third generation of interstellar capital ship developed by Earth. Assigned to the Earth Fleet, her standard mission is to Patrol the Sol System to defend it against aggressors. It is currently under the command of Colonel Walter Anderson.

The Columbia is armed with 42 Railguns, Mark VIII and IX Naquadah enhanced tactical warheads, and two bays of F-309 fighter-interceptors. It also possesses Asgard/Ancient Hybrid shields and Asgard beaming technology. Propulsion consists of standard thrusters as well as an Upgraded-Asgard intergalactic hyperdrive, capable of traveling between Earth and Atlantis in 12 days without the use of a Zero Point Module.
