An ancient Goa'uld mothership design, pyramidal in shape, which the parasitic race has used for thousands of years. Ra himself used this type of craft to capture aboriginal humans from Earth many thousands of years ago. The vessels routinely use pyramids as their landing platforms on various planets -- which Daniel Jackson speculated was the reason for the construction of the pyramids.
Once landed, the pyramid ship's primary hull retracts into several distinct plates, as well as creating an optional "watch tower" at the top of the ship, presumably where the Goa'uld's throne room resides.
Pyramid ships are equipped with at least one set of transport rings, as well as at least one death glider bay. It is unknown if the vessel itself is armed with Goa'uld weapons, although this is highly likely.
Though this term describes a specific vessel class, it is also used as a general term for any Goa'uld ship that incorporates a pyramid into its design -- such as a Ha'tak.
