    Isn't Earth invulnerable to attack?

    I was working on my fanfic when I realized

    Why didn't we use Arthur's mantle to defend us against the Superhive? Using the Phase shift technology the superhive wouldn't have hit us in Atlantis season ender. We have extra ZPMs lying around.

    To the best of my knowledge the arthur's mantle thing had only ever been done in alternate realities, not in the one 'our' SG-1 and atlantis occupy. Its possible that it has yet to be thought of.

      And the only reason it was possible in the alternate reality was because the Stargate program had gone public after Goa'uld attacks and they had been able to get all power grids hooked into the SGC so that they could draw power from all of America instead of just the normal power requirements.

      Jack: You may have come to the right place.

          If that didn't work, there's a very easy way of dealing with it: have the plot provide intelligence to the enemy so they steal/destroy it.

            But then the enemy could be invulnerable haha.

              But the power generating capability of the United States is pretty pathetic when compared to the power generated by a ZPM. The entire planet only uses about 15 terawatts of power.

                Well then, you can add the totally plausible event that the Mantle is hit with a bullet (or more) by some MP trying to stop the escaping con artists.

                Instances like these serve both reality and plot.

                  or the device fails and blows up, at random, at which carter adds a rather obvious "well, it was old"

                    It would seem Earth has lost alot of fire power, Ancient Control Chair was Earths Primary weapon, however with the Apollo, SunTzu and Hammond they have 3 ships that are atleast equiped to engage any enemys

                    Obviously the Odyssey and Daedalus have other objectives that the protection of earth but aslong as one of the others is in orbit then Earth is not as vulnerable as made out to be.

                    Remember the Lucian Alliance are really the only threat we know about who could muster a fleet to attack, others are unknown to make any assumptions.

                      It was done in anothre reality. Even though it was our Sam who did it, it wasn't set up, the US power grid wasnt hooked to Area 51

                        The power requirement would easily be solved by the ZPM. By my count, we have 6 ZPMs.

                        When the Replicators took atlantis captured 3 ZPMs distributed: SGC(exactly for the defense of Earth), Atlantis and Odyssey
                        We lost the Atlantis one in when Atlantis escape the planet but was recovered when Shepard stole one from them when Wier died.
                        We retook at least 2 more from Todd.
                        Anyone of them could power the mantle for the planet.

                        Hopefully, it did get blown up by the Dart saves me the trouble of planning an excuse for the invasion. (in my fic)

                          i surely hope it was blown up by the darts.

                          and yes, a ZPM, even a 1% ZPM should be able to hide earth.

                          which makes me think. the mantle requires almost no power. the entire US powergrid, can hide the entire PLANET? any idea how massive a planet is compared to a ship?

                            I just remember the time Carter and Mitchelle first used that thing they hid an entir planet with 2 Naquada generators. So why did we need the US power grid.

                              they hid the villiage not the planet they had a short time before the ori flattened there town they used a ori crystal as a temp power source

                              i just think it was stupid how sheppard would rather use a 302 than wait for a while in the ancient chair, even if the darts came he would of picked them off more easily and take down the superhive
