Overview
Although referred to as "sister ships" to the (BC-303) Prometheus, the 304s differ significantly in their design and technology. While the Prometheus was originally built with less powerful phasers, the 304s incorporated type 10 phasers and type 11 phasers.

History
Originally, the Prometheus proved itself to be a capable warship,with several more ships of the BC-303-class planned for construction. It immediately became one of Stargate Command's most important project. Currently, seventy percent of the SGC's operating resources has been transferred to the construction of Daedalus-class vessels.T he first vessel of the class was the Daedalus, which was introduced in 2379. Upon its completion, the ship was immediately assigned to Starbase 306 to assist the starbase in fighting the Xindi-Suliban Alliance.
