    why do outpost have weapons

    it makes me wonder why do the ancients who disapprove of voilence have weapons on outpost. espescially earth there was no need for so many drones, cause if there was an enemy in the SG universe that made the anicents have to set up defenses on some planets i think that they would have been metioned. thoughts on this and sr if a thread like this has been made.
    time doesn't go in a linear path like everyone thinks, time is a ball of timey wimey wibbly wobblely uh....

    "Gently, Sandy," First Lieutenant Cargill interjected.
    "Dr. Horvath, I take it you've never been involved in military intelligence? No, of course not. But you see, in intelligence work we have to go by capabilities, not by intentions. If a potential enemy can do something to you, you have to prepare for it, without regard to what you think he wants to do."

      The ancients fled to MW, then went to Pegasus before fleeing back to MW. they mad eenemies, enemies who could one day follow them to their sanctuary. Makes sense to prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Isn't that what nuclear weapons are?

        There's a reason they lasted as long as they did. Some people label them as arrogant, but obviously they weren't overconfident.

          allways be prepered for any and all eventualities the ancients are not the NOX and the non interfearance policy only came into effect after their ascension before that they were just as much warriors and scientist we were.

              they have weapons to defend them self from any thread you don´t know who is out there.

              I think all races would do the same except the NOX

                      Knox is a logical misspelling due to Fort Knox


                      yest the need for weapons on an outpost would be clear to even the most blind persons. Afterall, an outpost is a place where your people live and if there is a possible threat (always around) you need to defend. Like he police in first cases, then comes the defence force.

                      if an outpost has not got that it be doomed to be taken and destroyed

                        indeed any logical race would be prepared for any and all eventualities so defencive capabilities are a must imo wheter it be Nox camoflage or ancient offensive tech.
                        the ancients even took it a step further building cities that could be moved from planet to planet if needed.

                          The Ancients have an enemy. Their civilization was almost wiped out by the Ori plague.

                          There are other threats out there. There's the "Foothold" aliens and the aliens in "Daedalus Variation."

                              The Nox have exceptional defensive capabilities, as well as regenerative capabilities. They really don't need weapons, and they wouldn't use them anyways due to their philosophies.

                              The Ancients, however, do not share those philosophies, and so it would be logical and intelligent to have weapons placed at outposts.
