Ba'al#Alternate timelines|Ba'al uses the Solar observation outpost on Praxyon to travel back in time to 1939 through the Stargate to change time using a solar flare. The Achilles is an ocean freighter captained by Mitchell#Alternate timelines|Mitchell (Colonel Cameron Mitchell's grandfather), that is carrying the Alpha Gate from Africa to the United States of America before the outbreak of World War II. At the time it was zig-zaging across the Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic to evade U-boats and was near the North Pole. Ba'al and three Jaffa arrive and the activation of the Stargate vaporizes the Bosun#Alternate timelines|Bosun. Ba'al has his Jaffa kill the entire crew of the ship despite their best attempts to escape and fight back and then plants a Naquadah bomb to destroy the Stargate in order to stop the Tau'ri from being able to stop him in the future. The entire crew is killed and Captain Mitchell is mortally wounded by the time that Ba'al and his Jaffa escape through the Stargate leaving behind the activated bomb. The Captain manages to toss the bomb overboard through the hole made by the activation of the Stargate where it detonates harmlessly in the ocean, but he dies at some point later and the Achilles becomes trapped in the ice of the North Pole leaving the US without a Stargate in the future.<ref name="Continuum" />
