The Ancients' gateship: fly it, cloak it, send its drones, dial a gate from its own DHD and fly through. One lies asleep on a world beyond the gate, waiting for someone with the gene.
Build Milky Way and Pegasus Stargates and dial them from a DHD.
Under the ice waits an Ancient outpost with a control chair that wakes only for the Ancient gene: be born with it, or take the ATA gene therapy.
In game
Clips from the modThe control chair
GameplayFrom the chair you can dial the gate within 64 blocks. The chair's own module pays for the wormhole.
ZPM Hub
PowerThree sockets for Zero Point Modules; each one sinks in and an iris seals over it. Gates within 64 blocks draw on the hub, and the load is shared between the modules by how much each holds.
Stargates
TravelMilky Way and Pegasus gates, each with its own glyphs. Every kawoosh comes out a little different, and it destroys whatever stands in front of it.
Power
What a gate runs onA gate runs on a Zero Point Module sitting in a DHD or a ZPM Hub nearby, or on a naquadah generator wired to it with power cable and a coupler kit. Dialing costs the most, and an open wormhole keeps drawing until it closes.
Zero Point Module
Energy drawn from a pocket of subspace. It never refills, and its entropy only climbs.
Naquadah Generator
Burns liquid naquadah from vials and charges a gate through a cable. A Mark II holds sixteen vials and gives far more power.
Liquid Naquadah Vial
Fuel for the generator. A Naquadah Liquefier dissolves naquadah nuggets in hot water and fills the vials.
The Ancient gene
Only a carrier wakes the chairAbout 4 players in 100 are born with the gene. Everyone else can try the therapy.
Ancient Scanner
Tells whether you, or the player you look at, carry the gene.
ATA Reagent
Brewed into empty syringes in a brewing stand.
ATA Gene Therapy
Works a little less than half the time. A gene from therapy slowly fades.
Finding the chair
Three pieces of one plateThe pieces lie in chests across the world. Joined, they make the Ancient Location Plate, and the plate tells you where the outpost is.
The Bearing
A ring of marks with one long ray pointing the way.
The Distance
Four Ancient digits over a rule: how far out it lies.
The Ground
The shape of the land, with a cross on one spot.
The chair's archive
Projected above the chairThe chair holds the repository of the Ancients. What they kept in it is yours to find.
Star map
The Milky Way from above, then the Sun's neighbourhood with real nearby stars.
Atoms
Hydrogen to iron, each atom built up from its nucleus and shells.
ZPM hologram
How a Zero Point Module draws its energy.
