History of the Ship:
The Langford was built as a self-sufficient exploration vessel. As such, it has manufacturing capabilities to sustain itself without a logistics chain. Her oroginal mission was to build alliances in her home universe.
Unfortunately, due to various screw-ups and background string pulling, she ended up with a crew that was made half from geniuses that could build terrifying instruments of destruction, and half from would-be war criminals wishing a motherfucker would.
As such, when the Langford stumbled upon a small Lucian operation while attempting to contact their first world, they ended up obliterating a sizeable space force and capturing as many enemy vessels as all previous prizes of the entire Stargate program combined, making heavy use of chemical and nuclear weapons.
Shotrly after, the Langford responded to a Lucian occupation of Langara, where they destroyed two Ha'Tak despite Lucian plants sabotaging the weapons systems and liberating the planet.
During the last altrecation, other plants assassinated dr. Falk, who was the original host to the Tok'Ra Vanja, and wounded both Idalia, the original host of Ariadne, as well as Colonel Black. Vanja managed to find new host in Dr. berg, whereas Ariadne left Idalia, whose wounds were beyond repair, for the Colonel who recovered thanks to the Tok'Ra's boost to healing.
Afterwards, the Langford was recalled to Earth - Officially for refits and to have the wounded crew recover, although the IOA actually intended to regain control of their own ship from the hamds of the ‘Space corsairs'.
While en-route though, the Colonel was approached by a familiar face. An ascended dr. Jackson from a reality alternate to their own requested their presence for a special transdimensional mission, for which he needed 'a ship full of nukes and people not afraid to use them'. Needless to say, the crew agreed to help.
