Involvement and evolution through the series
The Goa'uld cargo ship is introduced in "Deadman Switch". While imprisoned aboard it, Teal'c relates his knowledge of its maximum speed (twice the speed of light), self-destruct, door locks and its older design. Note: It is possible he is misinformed on its maximum speed as he was concerning the Goa'uld mothership's maximum speed of 10c in "Within the Serpent's Grasp".

Several episodes later, in "Jolinar's Memories", Martouf reveals its Goa'uld name of Tel'tak and the escape pods. Martouf is unfamiliar with Tel'taks possessing a cloaking device, as Teal'c was earlier, though the Tok'ra have the upgrade a year later, by "Tangent".
