Are there any other 9 chevrons codes?
that go to other places / do other things?

so far no since the only one discovered was in the atlantis database but who knows..sigpic -
The question is. How did Ameris (I think that is his name) know to create a ninth chevron. Or why did he bother creating one if the Destiny wasn't already planned. Could it be they just always thought ahead and planned ahead for events thousands if not millions of years in the future? Does seem like something they would do. Makes me wonder too. The Ancients had to have a way to get back. Doesn't seem like them to strand themselves. Im guessing the Destiny has a way to channel power from a black hole or something to gate home.Comment

What i think is that they would have send someone through with a ZPM or other device to dial back home..Comment

I was thinking the same but it does seem too easy when you think about it...Originally posted by garhkal View PostSignature removed by popular demand...Comment

I don't think so, I believe that the eight other chevrons in the address don't matter. After all, the point of origin was that of the Tau'ri, not the gate from which its being dialed. I'm guessing that this is some kind of security protocol, created by the Ancients so that "authorized personnel only" would be able to dial in. This would allow the Ancients, and presumably only the ancients (since they would know the trick), to dial in check up on destiny's progress and then leave.Comment

They did have a way to get home, there was a eight chevron address in ships database for earth, probably would have worked too but Rush begged them not to dial it since they would have tried too many times to get the point of origin. Funny thing is they would have gotten that symbol when the gate auto dialed the planet. I'm also pretty sure that ship would have had enough power for at least one dialing of earth, the drive it uses must consume a HUGE amount of power.Originally posted by RepliVeggie View PostComment

It's called a reserved field. The 6+1 system was most likely already in use, for example in navigation or communications. The 8th chevron was added to expand the field of operation, and the 9th was added just in case something else comes up. It'd be a lot easier to reprogram the gates than to seed modified versions from scratch.Originally posted by RepliVeggie View Post
The gate on Destiny obviously has high priority. The 9-chevron code might be less of a combination lock deal and more of a guarantee that Destiny passing through a seeded galaxy does not interfere with local operation of the network.Comment

The 8th Chevron adds a new distance calculation. It's not specific to Pegasus. O'Niell used it to travel to Othalla in the galaxy Ida.Originally posted by lkg1980 View Post

Hell you probably have a number of devices in your home with ports, slots or whatever marked "FOR FUTURE USE.Comment

Taking what Rush said in the Pilot and what Carter had previously said before.
7 Chevrons for gate address
8th Chevron for area code
9th Chevron for extra distance calculation (what Rush said)Comment

9 chevron codes must = 1 place to go too no matter what planet you are on or where in space you are.Comment

Actually Carter said this about the 8th chevron. Rush's statement was based on what was known about the 8th chevron.Originally posted by DaxFlowLyfe View PostComment

probably there are. if the other stargate seeding ships have stargates on them, then yes. i suppose the acients would want to check in with the ships to make sure they weren't seeding broken stargates that explode when dialed. and maybe to make repairs to the ships.Comment

While several ships were sent to seed the galaxies with Stargates, the Destiny was to follow a programmed mission to explore these galaxies.Originally posted by browncoatgandalf View PostComment
