    To be honest. The SGC is so expensive, because Earth needs an adhoc power source and a full gate operations team.

    If you have a DHD and the gate is just part of your culture but wouldn't cost much at all. Do the Goa'uld operate a 'Stargate programme'? No. They make use of one in their conventional operations, because it's so inbuilt.

        Well clearly what happened with the Goa'uld was they were going fine but then they chose to choose 2 people called the Leyman brothers as hosts. After that SG-1 and the Tok'ra were able to destroy them all with the trade market.

          Exactly. $ 7 billion in season 1. I doubt Jaffa are paid either but are given stuff for loyal service. Their weapons and supplies are probably produced by slaves, loyal humans and Jaffa.

              Purely based upon observed production methods, i'd conclude the following:

              -The only real thing of value to the Asgard is neutronium. anything else can be replicated. food, shelter, medicine, technology. Money would not exist, everything belongs to everyone.

              -The Goa'uld are evil oppressors who take what they want. slaves are forced to build their stuff, and the naquahdah they use is mined by slaves. their Jaffa are kept in line both by fear and necessity of Goauld symbionts, so everything is free to them.

              -The Ori are ascended, so any real material would be of no value to them. their worshippers more or less are slaves, so the Goauld situation kind of applies.

              -the Wraith grow everything, so production costs are zero. their also feed on humans, so food costs nothing, and they seem to have no civilians whatsoever.

              -the Ancients, Nox and Furlings likely have the same scenario as the Asgard.

              anyone i missed?

              Earth has money because sufficient effort is involved with production and material acquiring. Plus, it also stimulates a human's efforts, so it works. if production and mining gets so advanced that it costs practically nothing, or if the methods of mining and producing are non-voluntairy and unpaid, basically no money is required anymore

                Hello!

                I am sure that for say the Goa'uld would take whatever they needed to wage war.

                I have a question. If a Goa'uld System Lord were to order his or her Jaffa to torture another Goa'uld System Lord would they do it. I can not remember if there was a case of that clearly shown.

                  I am sure that the Jaffa would obey his "God" and torture the captured "false god."

                    That always made me scratch my head. If the gou'ald always claimed that as gods, they couldn't be killed, how do they get their followers to make the other 'gods' die?

                      What makes me scratch my head if they are Gods, how can they fear something? If they are Gods how can they be defeated like non-Gods like the Tollan?

                        The OP asks a fair question. We often see goa'uld mining operations but never an industrialized world with factories for ship parts, crystal computer components, etc. Remember the episode where SG-1 rescues Bratac and Ryac from Baal's naquada mines. On the adjacent hillside, there's a partially contsructed Hatach spaceship. No other insfrastructure is evident. I rolled my eyes at the ridiculousness of it. Yes, of course, the slaves hammer raw ore into finished spaceship parts. No refinement. No fabrication plants.

                        You've got to overlook this shortcoming. If it consistently bothers you, you won't enjoy the series.

                          Perhaps they had tech that took the raw ore and smelted it down into ready to use parts..

                            I've just always assumed that a lot of things exist in the Gateverse without our ever having been shown them. Infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, etc. definitely fall into that category for me.

                            I don't recall ever getting a look at the restroom facilities on Goa'uld or Tau'ri spaceships either, or in Tok'ra bases. But it makes sense to assume they were there...

                              At the angle we saw that unfinished Ha'tak, did we see the ground? I am asking because it is certainly possible that the factories are close by but we didn't see it. But the big question is: who is working in those factories? Slave labor is horrible for making high quality parts as the Nazis found out.

                                I think they added a part where it says gods can kill gods. But remember, before we killed Ra, the goauld were pretty much at peace, and had been for about 5000 years.
