    Do the Ori have intergalactic Hyperdrives?

    Probably been asked before and a moot point now, but always wondered

    How far is the ori galaxy from the MW? I was wondering do the ori really need supergates? Can't they just use hyperdrives to invade our galaxy?

    The ancients didn't use a supergate to come to the MW.

      They never mentioned that the hyperdrives were intergalactic ones. I always thought they were normal ones

        It's never been shown if they have intergalactic drives or not as they've never left the galaxy, except via the Supergate.

        Based on their level of technology I would assume they do. I always assumed the Ori galaxy was just really far away. Until we are shown one way or the other though, we will never know for sure.
        Thus it will come to pass... the dying leader will know the truth of the opera house... the missing 3 will give you the 5 who have come from the home of the 13th... you are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace - you will lead them all to their end. End of line.

          i would assume they don't. perhaps the size of their ships means they can't.

            If they had intergalactic hyperdrive, they would have used that instead of the Supergate.

              Isn't Ori technology and Ancient technology roughly the same? If the Ancients had intergalactic drives the Ori should as well.

                The ancients traveled for a long time to get to the milky way galaxy, I'd say that the distance is just too great for even intergalactic drives where as dialing a gate address and walking through is instantaneous as long as you have the power to do so... hence the supergate.

                  If we could build a supergate to travel to pegusus, would we bother going the long way?

                  I submit that superate technology is simply more advanced and more efficient than intergalactic hyperdrives.

                    Not necessarily. Intergalactic hyperdrives won't get them to the MW very fast, but that doesn't mean they don't have the technology.

                      Why would speed be an issue? The Ori were not facing an invasion.

                        Actually no they didnt. In Flesh and blood and Shroud they were just using intersteller drives as they were already in MW. The supergate is their intergalactic travelling means, but that dosent meen they don't have them or the knowhow to build one if needed.

                          The alliance of four great races exchanged information. Asgard probably had the hyperdrives (since they don't seem to need to switch between intergalactic and interstellar... it's one package, neat and efficient), ancients with shields or something.. etc.

                          The Ori weren't awefully tech-savvy, and most of their tech they have now is likely things that the ancients had when they left the Ori galaxy.

                            Agreed but they do have the knowhow to build awsome tech so I think it's possible.

                              It supposedly took a thousand years for the ancients to get from their home galaxy to the Milky Way.

                              Assuming the ancient ship(s) had hyperdrives similar to the Goa'uld Ha'taks when they left their home galaxy, a Ha'tak traveled at about 32000c as of Season 4/5 (Exodus). Crossing the Milky Way would take a Ha'tak about 3 years. If you wanted to visit Atlantis, it would take you about 93 years. How far can a Ha'tak travel in 1000 years? 32,000,000 light years.

                              If the Ori home galaxy is 32,000,000 light years away, even if Ori ships had intergalactic hyperdrives (with speeds comparable to Daedalus powered by a ZPM), it would take them ~42 years to get here.

                              That's why they're using the supergate.
