Orbital Stargate Mark I

Introduction
The Orbital Stargate Mark I is massive, circular ring, connected to two starbases, capable of sending starships hundreds of thousands of lightyears via an interstellar conduit called a "wormhole."

How It Works
The Orbital Stargate still uses the glyph system used by the older smaller stargates. Instead of requiring a manual dial-up, everything is all digitially encoded in more than 1 trillion lines of code. This makes the whole dialing procedure much easier. There are no more gate addresses to remember. For an example, if you wanted to dial the orbital stargate for Earth, you now do not need to dial in a lengthy address, which can be a pain to remember. All you now need to do is go to the computer console, select which orbital stargate you would like to go to and hit "Enter", and the computer automatically begins the power-up process.

One side of the gate holds nine equally-spaced, V-shaped locking mechanisms, or "chevrons,". These chevrons indicate the power level the stargate is currently at. For an example, when the stargate has 3 chevrons locked, that means that the power level is at 33%. When the ninth chevron locks (indicating it's at full power level), an unstable energy vortex emerges from the gate, incinerating everything in its wake. Once the vortex is gone and the event horizon is established, outbound travel may commence. Once objects have exited the other side, the orbital stargate has the capability of shutting itself off.

Information
Starbase Height(main): 4,648 meters (2.9 miles)
Starbase Height(overall): 5,795 meters (3.6 miles)
Inner Stargate Diameter: 7,239 meters (4.5 miles)
Total Diameter (Stargate + Two Starbases): 13,335 meters (8.3 miles)
Decks: 2 sets of 1,200 decks
Mass: 1,740,000,000 metric tons
Crew: 30,000 military, typically 40,000 to 70,000 civilian

Armament:
740 x Type XII phaser arrays, total output 4,480,000 TeraWatts
48 x Type 2 burst fire photon torpedo tube

Defence Systems:
High Capacity shield system, total capacity 4,480,000 TeraJoules
Light Duranium/Tritanium Single hull.
Low level Structural Integrity Field

Docking Facilities:
Two Internal docking bays - capable of holding up to fifteen starships each, depending on type
Thirty hangar bays - capable of holding up to six hundred shuttlecraft

Speeds:
Not capable of independent movement; attitude control and/or orbital adjustment only.

Iris:
The iris is a type of teleportation shield that will teleport anything that comes into contact with it to a predefined location. The teleportation shield's range is only a light year for a successful transport. Transporting farther will destroy the object.

Iris Power Plant:
The iris is powered by a Hyper Plane Energy collector which collects energy from space. It provides ten times more energy then the teleportation shield normally requires. Thus ensuring a stronger iris for the protection of your people.

Dialing Time: 3 minutes 42 seconds
Annual Operating Cost: $750,000,000 a year
Projected Revenue: Unknown at current time

got to ask (tho im goin to guess i know the answer) doe it have to dial to another Gate or can you open a Wormhole in any old place? if not whats the Milltary Value of such a Device you could jump your ships to your own systems but if the person your fighting dont have Gates then well its useless

We, the nation of Rithnorah, would like to know if the people of Northrop-Grumman have normal working Stargates, as we cannot afford the Mark I at the moment.

Yes. They do. Check Here (http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showtopic=662) for information. If you're looking for other weapons, check out the rest of the international mall. Especially CFAC. *shameles ad*

(OOC: It would be a godmod if it did. You could have a whole armada of ships at an enemy's homeworld in less than 4 minutes.) Suppose you had a colony that was say a weeks travel using hyperdrive or whatever, and it was being attacked. You could have your whole fleet there in less than 4 minutes.

If you buy more than one, I'll keep the first as the original price and give you all the others for half price.

How about a bit forcefield? I know Anubis used a forcefield on a planet bound gate in place of an Iris.

Or would the power requirements be too big?

Or would the power requirements be too big?I have yet to think of anything to put on the orbital stargate as an iris. I can't see anything being able to withstand all the particles of a whole starship crashing into it. A forcefield might work but the power requirements would be astronomical. You would probably need a fusion reactor just for the forcefield.

The Galactic Empire of Feazanthia requests two of these stargates. One will be constructed around Adonis VII in the Adonis system, which is near the galactic core (quite far from civilized space, I think). The other one will be in a system that has yet to be named, as the Feazanthian Expeditionary Forces have not reached an agreement with the Extra-Solar Union of Systems.

Thank you again. On a related topic, Mucusburgia is proud to announce the successful launch of a roket payload into LEO (low earth orbit) carrying the first material for our space station "Equality", which will serve as a permanent orbit research facility and service site for the stargate once completed. construction is expected to take 2 years.

I will give you 10 NS years to comply with my requests and then fufill the orders as you say production time takes. I will also ask for upgrades to the Blueprints in private and offer a 1 Trillion dollar bonus to you once the job is complete.

I personally like the idea of, very big stick TM

I know this is an insane request, but perhaps you should post a list of reserved gate addresses...

In order to prevent the gate from opening, you would need a permanent iris completely covering the area where the event horizon forms. A stick wouldn't work. The event horizon would just disintigrate it.

I know this is an insane request, but perhaps you should post a list of reserved gate addresses...
These orbital stargates do not use the gate addresses in their original form. If they did, I would not want to find out what happens when an orbital gate connects to a standard gate on a planet.

These orbital gates use a modified form of geometry with the x-axis, y-axis, and so forth. You do not need to remember address. All of it can be accessed through an easy to use interface. Just select which gate, (For an example if you wanted to go to Earth, you would not type in http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/TheQ2005/28.gifhttp://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/TheQ2005/26.gifhttp://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/TheQ2005/5.gifhttp://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/TheQ2005/36.gifhttp://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/TheQ2005/11.gifhttp://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/TheQ2005/29.gif, all you would need to do is select "Earth" and hit Enter.) and hit Enter.

Now, onto IC business:

The Nazi Utopia of Central Facehuggeria would like to purchase an Orbital Stargate to be placed in orbit of the world known as Optera. We'd also like our gate customized a bit. Firstly, we'd like you to strip out all the Phaser weapons. We'll place our own weapons upon completion. We'd also like you to strip all the shield generators not related to the Iris. Those too will be added in later. Lastly, we need it in high orbit of the planet. Out of range of most ground based weaponry.

We would also like it to have approximately 30 hangar bays to store fighters and small corvettes in.

If approved, the coordinates and money will autowire upon confirmation.

Though we have the capability to open up wormholes by ourself, but the problem is that all nation/worlds don't have that capability so we can only come to them.

Well, it depends if, by your national choices, if you really do. Also, more people use the GDP calculator I just showed you. Anyways, If you have a single ship at your age that can "Outstrip my entire fleet" then it would cost more than 5 trillion USD.

Look, Liquidus is an over-zealous, over-confident y . He probably would have said that to impress you, or annoy you, or intimidate you. And anyway, Outer Heaven has always had the ROBIN. (also, I like my character to be a y )

OOC: Ok, ok, calm down people.

Outer Heaven MK II: Just make payments of $200 billion a year for 20 years. That will settle the argument about money.

Jangle Jangle Ridge: If you want to argue about the orbital gate then I don't mind that here, but any technology that I don't sell, argue about it elsewhere, please.

Well, we'd hapilly contruct one in Mindsettian space, if our largest ships could fit through it. Which they can't.

How wide/tall is your largest ship?

How wide/tall is your largest ship?

My largest, most expensive, and least produced (because they cost a shitload of cash) is 18km wide.

Whoa!! Ok, it looks like the Orbital Stargate Mark II will be much larger than the Mark I.

We would like to 5 more of these gates, seeing their effectiveness. Once again, make them where it suits you best, we'll move them.

Seket-Hetep is interested in this project, however, given out budget, we have a proposition to make. Our nation, being two star-systems, is very able to produce the materials needed to create the gate, as well as the laborers needed in its construction, and plants to shape and create the refined goods as needed. We would also be able to provide transport for your men and any goods you need to bring.

All we would require is the expertise of your engineers and foremen. Hopefully, this could greatly reduce the cost. If not, we would like to arrange a sort of extended-pay schedule.

If neither of these options are plausable, we will consider the other stargates you have to offer. Please telegram with a response as soon as possible. Many thanks and Re-Horakhty bless you and yours.

Prime Minister Amon Menefer

Alright, I have talked this over with my superiors, and they have agreed to your request. The total cost for the project will be $120 billion which can be worked out according to a payment plan. Is this agreeable?

OOC: Geez! Can't believe someone found this old thread. Anyways, Outer Heaven MK II, the storefronts have been closed for sometime because a civil war (if thats what you want to call it) has been going on in my nation. Link (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=374633)
