[edit] History

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Emerson first appeared in the episode "Off the Grid", in which he is introduced as the commander of the Odyssey, a human built deep space carrier of the Daedalus class. General Landry contacted Emerson to rescue SG-1 which was stranded on a planet on which the Stargate was beamed away. Although during this time only 90% of the ship's systems were operating Emerson accepted the mission and ordered his ship to fly to the planet. Thanks to new locator chips implants Emerson is able to beam SG-1 on board with the Asgard beaming device. Afterwards he briefs the team about the situation that Ba'al is stealing Stargates. The Odyssey then plays a critical role in taking back all the stolen Stargates which they beam back from Ba'al's ship.

Emerson again appears in the next episode "The Scourge", in which he again rescue SG-1 and a team of the IOA from the planet with the Gamma Site, when the team is attacked by carnivorous bugs. Thanks to the locator chips all members of the team and the IOA can be beamed aboard safe.

In the last episode of the Ninth Season "Camelot", Emerson still commands the Odyssey and again rescue SG-1, this time from a planet on which they suppose an anti-Ori weapon. Afterwards the Odyssey departs for the Ori Supergate, through which the evil ascended beings want to send their fleet to the Milky Way galaxy. The ship then teams up with many other ships of the Jaffa, the Asgard and even the Lucian Alliance to battle the Ori battlecruisers which come through the gate. Although the Odyssey's Asgard shield withstand the weapon fire of the Ori ships, the mighty weapons nevertheless damage the ship.

Emerson continued to serve as the commander of the Odyssey in the Tenth Season. However, he was killed by Solek under orders from Anateo, a rogue member of the Lucian Alliance who captured the Odyssey in the hopes of overthrowing the Alliance's leader Netan in the episode "Company of Thieves".
