Few days ago I was reading about O’Neill cylinder and yesterday I watch one of SGA episodes (Travelers to be exact). Watching it I asked myself why Travelers didn’t create few for themselves. After all they can install shields and hyperdrive on those basically creating gigantic spaceship that would be able to defend himself against Wraiths or better just escape them.
As we see in SGA Travelers are in daring need for new spaceships or colony and standard sized O’Neill cylinder could house around 250mln people in very good condition (like house for every family on internal walls like in original Project) but as they have access to artificial gravity already they could build it like gigantic spaceship (or use materials to build fleet of smaller).
Before you say that they don’t have resources to build it keep in mind that you just need one medium sized asteroid to build one and I don’t believe Wraith can keep eyes on every system in Pegasus and even if they can Travelers could tow one asteroid via hyperspace to void between systems (like in SG-1 episode Fail Safe) and work on their colony there.
What do you think about my idea?
