Orion

The Orion is Major Ram's personal transport, being used in most of his early reconnaissance missions to explore the Arlun galaxy.

Overview
The Orion was designed to be a fast, safe, and reliable transport for Major Ram. He has used it on several occasions, even successfully defended against several alien warships before fleeing into hyperspace back to Aktor to make repairs. It incorporates several technologies used by the Tau'ri, Asgard, and the Ancients.

History
Major Ram started designs for the YT-2000 back in 2006 in order to be used by the Tau'ri as a cargo ship to transport large quantaties of materials quickly between planets without having to rely on the Stargate or the X-304. Although Homeworld Command wanted to use the prototype, Major Ram insisted that the design be perfected to ensure 100% reliability and safety.

In 2011, when Major Ram was sent to Aktor, he had finally perfected the design and created the first ship, named the Orion, and since has been used as his personal ship.

Major Ram plans to give the blueprints to Homeworld Command when he and the others return to Earth.

Technology
The Orion boasts several technologies, including new technologies developed on Aktor.

Artificial ZPM's
The Orion has several artificial ZPM's powering its systems during a battle and travel through space, effectively making it the quickest way for Major Ram to travel in the galaxy. When artificial ZPM's are connected to the hyperdrive, it's travel time is reduced significantly. The more power that is added, the faster the ship travels.

Artificial Naquadah
In addition to being powered by several ZPM's, the Orion stores several units of Artificial Naquadah to be used for the Naquadah Generators in the event that there is a power surge in the ship systems.

Automatic Replicating Device
The ARD operates on its own power source in the Orion, and can create more Artificial ZPM's in the event that one burns out.

Repair Drones
The Repair Drones are of Major Ram and Jerrod Ollie's creation. They are able to repair damage to the hull and shields as well as ship systems.

Enhanced Asgard Shields
The Asgard shields commonly used by Tau'ri vessels, have been upgraded by Jerrod Ollie, Major Ram, and Dr. Corina. With the abundance of Artificial ZPM's due to the ARD, these shields are able to take more power and as a result, are much more powerful than on the Earth ships, being able to withstand several direct hits from enemy ships with minimal damage to the hull.
