Paul Emerson

Captain of the Deep Space Carrier Odyssey. Emerson welcomed aboard several officers who had survived the destruction of the Prometheus, as General Hank Landry ushered his ship into its first tour of duty.

Emerson's ship has rescued SG-1 on several occasions, keeping the Odyssey mainly in the Milky Way Galaxy as the Daedalus continues to handle the affairs of Atlantis. His ship was sent to prevent an Ori Supergate from opening, but the Odyssey arrived too late. Emerson was forced to send his ship into battle with several Ori warships.

After his ship was temporarily seized by a squad from the Lucian Alliance, Colonel Emerson was shot dead by Anateo in an act meant to assert his dominance.
