Camulus' ZPM

[Anonmatel]

Because the ZPM had probably been tampered with to enhance the explosion. Possibly through the use of Nahquadah.



If a nuke beamed on board can be disabled, don't you think a measly booby-trapped ZPM will be as well?

If it's powerful enough to take out a solar system then you could beam it anywhere you want. I already said to beam it beside the ship ??

[Ravroz]

Right, but they would have to ring it onboard the Ori ship. Hell if they did it right they might even be able to take out the entire fleet that's remaining. I do bet that if Rodney got ahold of it he could figure out how to make it useful. There might even be something in the Atlantis database about that.

Why would they have to ring it inside the ship if it is enough to destroy the solar system?

[FallenAngelII]

The question would be: Why the Hell would an Ori ship be wandering about an uninhabited Solar System? If we blow up an Ori ship by killing off an entire solar system, we'll be mass-murderers on a huge scale.

Ori ships only hyperspace to planets with inhabitants or when they find something interesting (like, oh, say, nukes being tested around their Supergate).

So we'd have to lure them out first. And, I don't know, hey, super shields. Maybe they'll actually hold? >_>'

Or maybe

Spoiler:

Its going to eventually get repaired and will power the Intergalactic Bridge.

[SaberBlade]

The Intergalactic bridge will be powered the DHD inside a Puddle Jumper as it's the only thing that will be able to dial the gates once they start their journey.

pointless - its a ZPM, it can power either atlantis or antartica. they don't need it for the bridge.

wasnt the tampered zpm blue?

It was blue when it was exposed to UV light that was being used to slow down the plant's growth or kill it.

[GreyFox]

wouldn't be the first time there blew up a solar system

no a zpm won't blow a solar system. 3 didn't do it. it took arcturus to do it

The Arcturus project blew up 3/4 of a solar system.

I'm sure a Nahquadah-enhanced ZPM can blow up a solar system (especially since ours is tiny). If a nuke together with a shipment of Nahquadah would be enhanced 100-fold... >_>'

5/6 It's not an exact science.

[jander1023]

Maybe SG Command could finally figure out how to re-charge a ZPM. They have and/or find plenty of ZPMs that are already spent. If they could re-charge them, they would be in business!

True. There are Stargate power nodes that are attached in three places for space gates. That's what was powering the stargate on in orbit above the wraith homeplanet in Rising 2.

[Ravroz]

The power nodes on the space gates are what provide power to them right? If so how much power would they provide? I bet it would only be similar to the DHD in MW. Plus I always wondered why we never have seen any space gates in MW.
