Ori Stargates?

[Daniel Jackson]

We'd only seen glimpses of one world and Celestus in SG-1, so I thought all of that took place on one planet. This made the Milky Way invasion make sense to me, because instead of one world, they could have an entire galaxy of worshippers. In the movie, we see that the Alterans had to hide their ship inside a mountain, so the Ori were clearly anti-technology. Further, there's a guy in the movie who mentions other Ori worlds. How exactly do these villagers get from world to world, because it can't possibly be by ship? Do they use Stargates? If the Stargates weren't invented until after the Alterans left, does this mean that the Ori had to invent Stargates on their own? This is one huge question that I felt the movie should have answered. I'd have liked to see the SG-1 team use an Ori Stargate to get to Celestus while the Oddyssey flies on over.

[Gate-builder]

RCC said that the Ori developed supergate technology after their ascention, so I would imagine that they learnt how to build normal stargates as well. I agree that it would have been really cool to see one in the movie

[Almighty_Wookie]

It would have been very cool to see Ori Stargate's; I imagined white gates with Ori-like gate symbols instead of the two types we've seen in Milky Way and Pegasus, but I guessed they would have just used ships with the ring platforms built into them to get around/and or transporters.

[Prior_of_the_Ori]

Well AoT left quite a few questions on the Ancient front. We don't know whether Celestis was the homeworld of the Ancients as a whole or whether they had ruled the entire galaxy or what. We do know that Amelius created the Stargates and some Ancient technology was left behind so its possible that the Ori either reverse engineered the Stargates or had a parallel research program that created them or simply never had them until ascension.

It remains to be seen whether the Ori galaxy has Stargates. I mean presumably they do considering the Prior was sent to the Milky Way galaxy which can only be done through adding power to the Stargate allowing for extra-galactic travel. Plus, there would need to be a Stargate system to connect the various Human worlds so that the Prior can spread the faith and such a system would explain how the anti-Ori underground seems to be well connected. Mind you, its possible the Ori made use of transport ships to deliver the Priors to the various worlds considering we saw ring platforms delivering a Prior, Daniel and Vala to the Plains of Celestis.

Ultimately, unless one of TPTB or a movie or the series elaborate on it, we simply have speculation.

super rings. not gates, super powerful rings =p

Haha super rings! That cracked me up for some reason.

Yeah they could use rings but considering the matter stream has to travel light years to go from one planet to another which is essentially the same as how stargates work except no wormholes are formed, some form of subspace link may be needed for that to work. And if it does work I wonder why the Ancients didn't invent that instead?

They likely had gates but probably just one in Celestis.

[Grotto]

MY imagining has the symbols light up in the same way that the Ori ring systems do upon activation. No doubt that the Ori rings are far more esthetically pleasing than the rings we saw for ten years on SG1.

[Lord batchi ball]

My guess is that the Ori galaxy as a very limited amount of stargates(maybe only one or two) and those are only used by the priors. And instead the Ori people use the rings.

My assumptions are all based on the idea that the Ori wish to limit what thier people know. And the best way to limit that is to restrict their movements as much as possible.

My guess is

Spoiler:

is more than a gateway for Adria to Celestis but a much more advanced "Stargate".

I like that idea!! It would sure make sense

Sounds pretty good to me too.

I think that's an awesome description for an Ori Stargate Almighty_Wookie! Better than what I thought up of (a standard Stargate with something like yellow chevrons). I like your description better!

i wish we saw one in the ark of truth but who knows maybe we go to the ori galaxy in universe

We do know that the Ori and the Ancients were "family". Didn't they mention that they left their brothers and not kicked them out? I don't see how the Celestis could have been the home world. Or maybe the Ancients moved out and kept keeping in touch or something until the Ori severed their connections (over the whole wraith thing or whatnot). Because the Ori chose to be selfish and mean while the Ancients were considered good. Or I am on the completely wrong path here...
