[SPOILERS] Address of a 'Spacegate' in the void

[AdamRLeggett]

OK, so they're going to build a bridge using spacegates or retro-fitted stargates. They already showed dialing a stargate that was pulled from it's normal location (in PP) and I guess that means we are to assume that they now know enough about Stargates to figure out how to dial a gate that isn't next to a planet. - Previously something they could not do - hence the episode with Apohis and Skara and the gate on the ship that they couldn't dial while it was on the move.

So all that said, what exactly is the address of one of these gates in the void between galaxies - or are we to believe their original address remains constant - in which case the Wraith might know some of them.

They probably couldn't dial into/out from apophis's ship because it was in hyperspace. Don't forget, planets move relative to their stars (moons to planets to stars in some cases "Prodigy") Stars move relative to the Galaxy, and whole parts of the Galaxy move relative to each other. It isn't motion, it was hyperspace. Don't forget what Rodney said in s6, "an interdimensional gateway being shoved theough a hyperdimensional corridor" it's not an exact quote but close enough. That indicates that the unique properties of how a Stargate works are not neccessarily compatible with how hyperspace works.

The addresses are of course constant, otherwise they'd have to dial a different set every time they gate to earth.

The codes simply correspond to a relative position in space. If you dial at random there's a chance you could hit a gate, but of course SG1 knows better.

That's a good question!

But you calculate the location using land marks (or space marks) how do you dial a gate thats in a void...

It is a short post, so don't worry about too much lengthy reading. I just didn't feel like completely repeating myself again.

Without reading that (got a 404 error):

The first six symbols of the address are the gate's physical location in space (or at least close enough for the wormhole to find and "lock on" to the stargate).

The seventh symbol (as we all know) is the point of origin.

So all you have to do is calculate the spatial co-ordinates of the supergate, convert that into stargate symbols, and figure out what the point of origin is for where you are.

Then dial it.

I think http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost....6&postcount=10 would be the correct url.

Thanks for the fix..!
