Wraith reproduction

[bandras]

It's something I'm pretty sure that has been discussed, but I couldn't have find any thread about it.

So opinions? Are they 'do it' like mammals, or like bugs? (EDIT: I mean the repdoduction, not the 'fun' part)

[ACharmedAsgard]

They are part human as well so I think they do it like we do.

[Eye Of Ra]

Yeah i agree.

I'm guessing that only the queens can reproduce, but who fertilises them. Maybe the "Steve" types?

Yeah but the fact each hive has only one female....the queen...that seems to indicate a more insect like reproduction system.....maybe the queen lays eggs in the stasis chambers or some thing similer and the males fertilise them and the ones that the queen wants to turn into the footsoldiers are altered somehow before birth or something like that seems fairly logical but maybe its done on the ground instead of a ship

But remember the one queen has only one mate (King etc) so I think it is still the human way.

In insect colonies, the queen is fertilised only once (the "drone" dies shortly after), it provides enough sperm to produce offspring for the life of the queen (and therefore, the colony)

The fact that the Wraith are humanoid and their body structure, I can't see how the Queen can lay eggs. I think the Wraith are far more human then insect and that they follow the human reproduction system

I agree

That makes me wonder: there're hundreds if not thousands of Wraiths on a single Hive, does one single Queen give birth to them all or what?

Just because we don't see females that often don't mean there's only one female per Hive. For one thing, the Keeper was female.

I cant imagine a pregnant Wraith Queen to be honest.

Can you imagine a pregnant Jaffa? I mean, the pouch... >_>'

They are materialized out of Romulan Food Replicators.

The Romulans eat babies? No wonder "nobody can stand their cuisine"
