    Multiple City Ships

    Most of SG-1 Season 7 was spent looking for Atlantis, right. When the Ancients went to Pegasus they said that Atlantis was the greatest city they built. Doesn't anyone else find it a bit strange that there have been three city ships built by the Ancients: Atlantis, The Tower and the city in This Mortal Coil? None of the other cities have been mentioned or hailed, yet they are the same size and just as powerful.

    That is true. There are others, but remember, they are a little busy fighting off everyone everywhere. And they havn't found all the others yet.....

      The Ancients didn't build the ship in this Moral Coil, rogue replicators did. Maybe they built the Tower ship to replace Atlantis. Atlantis was pinned down so build another ship and go and live on that.

        at some time I theorized that Atlantis-like ship was an experimental ship used to travel to other galaxies and settle there to expand Ancient empire.

        So the Atlantis we know would be the one set to go from MW to Pegasus and the Tower one from Pegasus to wherever else. but the Wraith came and screw the whole plan...
        maybe there is still one somewhere in Ida (but I think that the Asgard would have rather nuke it than left to the Replicators) or another close galaxy?

          dont forget Teonas, the outpost was the same as in antarktika!
          Perhaps Atlantis was yust a capital city...

            I always regarded taonas as being like a separate landing platform for Atlantis. kind of like the pyramids are landing platforms for the Goa'uld. If it were otherwise where are alll the other city ships? The Wraith could never of beaten such as an armada. Each city could take on dozens of hives.

              Or maybe Atlantis was the flagship of that class of ships for the Ancients.

                But where are they and why is there no mention of them?

                  It does say over the course of the Ancient-Wraith war, they are overwhelmed through sheer numbers. SO its safe to assume these cities-ships did take dozens of hives....there were just too many hives in the end. Even atlantis, with a ZPM, couldn't handle ten wraith ships firing on it for too long

                    But each of the city ships would of had three ZPMs. The Ancients after all new how to create them.

                      True. But there would be many more hive hsips than my example. Remember the wraith totally outnumbered the ancients.

                        actually, the shield would have held for days and considering they had 3 zpm not just 1, they could handle quite a bit of fire from wraith hives.

                          Yeh, for days. That was against ten. SO you have 3 ZPMS. There is every chance there is going to be four/fives times the number of hiveships. THe fluff does say they completely overwhelmed the ancients......

                            it would make sence that the ancients would build more then 1 atlantis class ship. i meen wats the point of being the most advanced race ever and not build more then 1 atlantis.
