Vidrine
THE STARGATE OMNIPEDIA
VIDRINE
A competent, if less-than-friendly, military officer, Lieutenant General Vidrine oversaw the failed first flight of the X-301 Interceptor. Not pleased with Jack O'Neill's sense of humor, he paid little attention to the colonel's handling of the situation, though he was impressed with potential that the X-301 initially demonstrated.

General Vidrine is probably stationed at the Pentagon, and has occasional dealings with the Stargate program, on a special projects basis. He was placed over the BC-303 construction program, the first stage of which was to locate a rich naquadah mine to supply raw material for building a fleet of interstallar battle cruisers for the defense of Earth. This became Vidrine's top priority, and he was not unwilling to relocate a tribe of Unas who stood between the S.G.C. and the mine.
