Seeing as how the Ori are the same race/age as the Ancients, it seems reasonable that once they got to their galaxy the set up a stargate network to allow their Priors and minions get around (also, the Priors have to come from somewhere). So, what I'm wondering is what their stargates might look like. Ancient stargates and ring transporters resemble each other, and any rings in Pegasus might look like the Pegasus gates as well. So, I'm thinking that maybe the Ori stargates look like Ori rings, that is all white and pearly (link). Any of our resident graphics designers feel up to the task of drawing up an Or stargate? Or maybe someone else has done so and someone here knows where it can be seen?

Probably should be in General or Art...

But the Ori stargates have never been shown or mentioned. Perhaps the rings ARE the gates in their galaxy? They went from whatever world they were on to Celestis, and presumably that's on another planet. Furthermore, when they GOT to Celestis they materialized some distance away from the city instead of directly inside it.

Typically in the Milky Way, gates are located away from population centers, and rings get you around inside them (or to ships, etc.). We're of course discounting the story need to establish Celestis as a cool place (and thus force our heroes to walk for a couple hours to get there), but where plot forces a technical issue, you know we're all over it. [Smile]

I didn't know where to put this, but I figured its tech, so the tech forum might work. Otherwise Timo can stick it elsewhere if he doesn't like it here...

Anyhoo, the rings we saw didn't have any kind of DHD or even a control panel so they might be Prior-only devices. But, the rings we saw were a set of six rings rather than the standard five, so it could be that they are the Ori stargates in and of themselves. It could be that Celestis was on the same planet Our Heroes were on; they could have lucked out and ended up on the Ori's home planet! [Wink]

Wouldn't need a DHD...the Priors could certainly activate it mentally or via their staffs.

Well, yes. But what about the average inhabitant of the galaxy? Or are they not allowed interplanetary travel?

Given the motives and the type of society the Ori are encouraging among people who are little better than surfs, who probably think the world is flat because they would fall off a round one, I should imagine that interplanetary travel, or even fast travel across large terrestrial distances, is not exactly encouraged.

Well, we could leave it up to Timo, But Tim N. is only one letter off, so I'll take care of it myself.

Yes, momentary confusion between a bad joke involving Smurfs and serfs occured, and I forgot to proof read ;-)

Well, in any case, back to the TOPIC...yeah, I might do an Ori stargate. I'll post it if I do. Little busy the next few days though.
