{{cleanup|reason=This article needs images}}
The '''Ha'tak-Class mothership''' was the primary capital ship used by the [[Goa'uld]]. A Ha'tak carries a sigificant arsenal of  Heavy [[Staff cannon]]s for ship-to-ship warfare and [[Orbital bombardment]] as well as serving as a carrier for dozens of [[Death Glider]]s while being able to service other spacecraft and carrying up to a thousand [[Jaffa]] warriors. Ha'tak class ships can enter planetary atmospheres.

== Design ==
A Ha'tak has an unusual design with a pyramidal core surrounded by an external framework. A Ha'tak-class ship is over six hundred meters across.

Normally a Goa'uld Ha'tak class ship has a large crew of Jaffa and Goa'uld technitions, although it can be operated to some degree with only a Helmsman.

== Variants ==
Over the course of the Stargate franchise, several distinct varients on the Ha'tak design have displayed themselves. This does not include various [[Goa'uld Flagship|superheavy Flagships]] that the Goa'uld have built

The first of which was Ra's Mothership, which lacked the external framework standard to that of most Goa'uld Hat'aks. The general beleif is that this is because Ra's pyramid ship was not in fact a military vessel, but a sort of Personnal Yaught used by the most powerful of system lords to go about his domain.

After [[Apophis]] usurpted control of Sokar's empire a second varient was seen, an advanced prototype for a new and improved class of Ha'tak. The proformance of said ship is unknown, as [[SG1]] destroyed it before its completion and no other craft of it's class that might have been under production could not be completed before Apophis's final Death.

Latter still, [[Anubis]] fielded a fleet of Improved Ha'tak class ships. These featured improved [[sheild]] and weapons technology allowing it to take on a [[Asgard]] [[Beliskner-class]] spacecraft, although they could still be defeated by normal Ha'taks. These ships, unlike Apophis's prototype, were not specially built with improved systems, but rather were merely upgraded conventional Ha'tak class ships.
