I've posted these idea's before, but I want to reiterate an analysis of the Ori's military strength. Basically, many people are complaining that the Ori are too powerful, and that there is no viable weakness. Well, from the way I look at it, that is wrong. Essentially, we have a 'Halo syndrome' with the Ori, in which their power only lies in superior ships. Basically, I have broken the Ori military strength down in to 5 components: Foot soldiers, Priors, Adria, Small Craft, and Motherships.
1) Ground troops: Lets be honest: They suck. Their weapons may be better than a staff weapon, but they are no better than a jaffa. They are jsut regular humans, very little training, no encahnced strength. They could most liekly be defeated by inferior numbers.
2) Priors: Definately a big threat on the ground. However, people seem to forget the anti-prior field that they came up with in "The Fourth Horseman". The field actually worked whhen set to the right frequency. This technology could be combined with a rotating frequency that hones in on the one that will knock out the prior. Have one man carry this generator in his backback and the priors are a severely dimished threat.
3) Adria: Adria is the only real ground problem. WE don't know if the anti-prior field would work on her, but I have a feeling that it would. Still, their is the problem of the Piece of Celestis. Perhaps if her powers are disabled, someone ould remove it off her. We know that there is a way to counteract her powers,
. Eitehr way, she is just one person. A big threat, but a singular one.
4) Small Craft: We have not seen these in action too much, so its hard to make a determination of its capacity. However, it is doubtful that they maintain the shield strength of the Motherships. IMO, they are definately stronger than Death Gliders, but could be defeated by superior numbers of F302s. Daedelus class ships could definatley take them on.
5) Motherships: Here lies the main threat to us. Despite all we have tried, the only way we have destroyed an Ori Motheship is with the vortex of the Supergate. We know that there is a weakness in their shields, but have yet to exploit it. As of right now, I cannot see any way of defeating the Ori Motherships.
So, in reality, the only real "unstoppable threat" to someone facing the Ori is their motherships. The ground troops suck, the Priors can be defeated, Adria is only one person, and we can assume that the fighters are capable of going down as well. In essence, we have the problem of the Halo universe, in which the only thing keeping the bad guy over us is the superior ship technology. After all, it doesn't matter how well you do on a planet if the big ships just blow the crap out of you from space.
