Puddle Jumpers were cylindrical spacecraft that were designed by the Great Beings for aerodynamic travel through Stargates.

Description[edit | edit source]

Puddle Jumpers were cylindrical spacecraft that were designed by the Great Beings for aerodynamic travel through Stargates. Each Puddle Jumper was armed with at least six drone weapons hidden in the drive pods that emerged from the ship's rear, port, and starboard sides. The drive pods themselves offered additional maneuverability and speed, but had to be retracted into the sides of the ship in order for the vessel to fit through a Stargate.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

Numerous Puddle Jumpers were manufactured by the Great Beings that were left abandoned on Atlantis. The Puddle Jumpers that were abandoned on Atlantis were eventually discovered by the human-led Atlantis Expedition, who took ownership of the spacecraft and began to use them to travel through Stargates on exploratory missions around the galaxy.[2]

In 150,080 CMT, John Sheppard and Rodney McKay took a wrong turn while flying a Puddle Jumper and ended up on a Makuta Space Station instead of their intended destination. Bitil punched through the Jumper's windshield in an attempt to apprehend the intruders, but was incapacitated when he took a drone weapon to the head, so Krika intervened and immobilized the Jumper with a forcefield before he began to question Sheppard and McKay.[3]

The status of Puddle Jumpers in the universe was left unknown after the destruction of the Makuta Space Station[3] and the disassembling of Atlantis.[4]
