Defending the Three Gates

[Mr.Xcelent]

In SG-1, The gate at the SGC had an iris to protect them from unwanted visitors, Atlantis had the gate shield. Destiny has ?

That leaves me with three questions

1. Whats the Destiny's gate shielding tech like? if any.

2. Why did the Ancients only protect the earth's gate and not Dakara as well? I can understand the Atlantis gate, Destiny's if we ever get an answer & they always say how the Ancient thought of Earth as one of there favorite world. But Dakara was possibly one of the first world they made there own when they arrived here in the Milky Way.

3. Why don't other gate in the Milky Way/Pegasus not have there own defensive capability?

i would be less likely to want to freely travel to other planets if i knew there was a chance i would go splat on the iris

How did the Ancients protect Earth's gate, the SGC installed the iris themselves.

See that's the thing, I always wondered where they got the Iris from. I myself was unaware as to who put it on the Earth gate.

Exactly, like with Earth no one come over unless the call in after dialing. If I send some one are a malp through and don't get a response I would think twice about going through to that address. Heck those guys on Destiny are lucky that the Ancients had the Kino's on board. Other wise Young was ready to walk right on through to the planet in the Air episode. Hell we still use malp here in the milky way. How many other races on other planet just walk through to a planet with toxic atmosphere before the realize we cant go there.

1. We do not know.

2. Since when did the Ancients protect any gate system? The only Ancient guarded gate was of Atlantis. There would be no need for the Gate system to be guarded in Milky Way until after the Ancient/Wraith war, in which all Ancients retreated mainly to Earth. Before they left for Pegasus, the only enemy was the Ori, which was a couple thousand years before that, and a virus. No need for irises then, is there.

3. Because no one put defencive capabilities onto those gates.

Since it is so old, AND it required a special code to get there, i don't think they ever thought it would need a shield. That and no one else knew of it.

2. Why did the Ancients only protect the earth's gate and not Dakara as well? I can understand the Atlantis gate, Destiny's if we ever get an answer & they always say how the Ancient thought of Earth as one of there favorite world.

Remember, the dakara weapon was hidden so damn well, it took both us AND a Tok'ra looking for it to find the damn thing. AND that was only after daniel got the info on it.. So again, no shield needed

3. Why don't other gate in the Milky Way/Pegasus not have there own defensive capability?

Well, we do know that one with the gate buster had its own shield system.. Who's to say others did not have anything, but the locals did not know how to activate it.

BUT i do wonder why they did not place ones on those in the PG after they encountered the wraith.

I'm just wondering... How many episodes of SG-1 have you watched?

[escyos]

the ancients had no enemies so why have any gate blocked...except for atlantis when they finally got an enemy

[Puddle-Jumper]

Good question, the iris was earth tech, the atlantis shield was lantian tech, and the destiny didn't need anything as since it predates all other gate technologies the ancients wouldn't have put any defensive tech into the gate, especially since the seeder ships don't drop off DHD's and at the time they built the destiny, those were the only other gates in existance

[The Swarm]

Becouse the SGU gates lack DHD's there is no need for an iris on the gate....becouse the only one dialing will probably be the ship most of the time, not someone from a nearby planet.*who needs the ships adress first*

Wow AVFan, I'm sorry if i don't recall every last detail from a show that been running for the past 10+ years. I was not aware that in order to post here i had to be a walking stargate wiki. I was under the impression that this forum was for all stargate fans to pass along information, inspire fans old and new & provide all with different view or perception of a show we all love. But sense your TPTB of the Stargate realm I'll just ask you before I foolishly ask an innocent question.

I'm pretty sure I didn't ask a question to warrant such an answer. I just wanted to know if you're a relative Stargate newbie or if you're a seasoned veteran.

Holy cow.

[dacooker]

There is no protection for off world activations on board Destiny.

Spoiler:

It looks like dialing other gates directly may be possible if the trailer for next week is any indication.
