Im just doing some idle speculation on the nature of stargate network(s) and how they function, and if there might be a single master control station.
We know that at least 2 galaxies have networks of thousands of stargates. And we can infer from the premise of SGU that there are many galaxies in the universe with their own gate networks. Travel within networks is continuous and updates its self to keep the locations of active gates usable (correlative updates). Each gate with a DHD has a power source that lasts for millions of years with normal operation. One network can access any point in another network using additional software and a greater power source.
We don't know if the different networks in separate galaxies keep track of other networks in other galaxies. But since it takes an additional control crystal and a separate power source I'm gonna guess no.
Could there be a central planet or station connected to all of networks in the universe? One could argue that Destiny is such a place, but it dosen't sound like it has the power to dial across the universe, just to whatever gates are local.
Now we do know that Pegasus gates take priority over older gates, and that gates with a DHD take priority over one without. I suspect that somewhere out there at a point in the middle of all of the galaxies with stargate networks there is a master control station with the power to access any of the gates in any of the networks.
Or maybe to total network its like what like we've seen so far. Separate networks that are like the roads in towns connected by freeways that take special access. But in the nature of thinking "Wouldn't it be cool IF...." id like to think theres a master world.
Maybe even a unnatural body like a Dyson sphere or a solar system sized machine powered by several singularities. Perhaps it exists in subspace so that it can be instantly connected to anywhere and get around physical laws.
How could would it be for Earth to find the center of everything and send out 2 way explorations of the Universe? You could even get around the power requirements for dialing back to the nexus. Since its the master control it would be simple for the base to dial incoming stargates at preselected times, based on the discovery in "Home" that a gate can dial cosmic distances drawing power from the gate its connecting to.
Speculation on the shape: well something weird and counter intuitive that wouldn't work in normal space. Maybe a pyramidal structure with weird crap coming out of it? It would be an awesome visual of it floating there in the void with the colorful spirally lights of subspace all around it. Maybe like hyper space in babylon 5.
Anywho just my bored musings at work...
