Stargates

Stargate (Emergency) (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/f631c48d.jpg)

Size: 3 meter inner diameter

Chevron Color: N./A.

Type: Non-Reusable

Cost: $15 billion U.S.D. per unit

Notes: This model of Stargate is designed to be a one use deal. Emergency Stargates are great replacement for escape pods on starships or planets. Due to the quick and dirty design of this model, it will immediately short-out and slag-down after only one use. The resulting mess leaves no destination co-ordinates or any chance of tracing the Stargate back to its original user.

Stargate (Informal) (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/566a2917.jpg)

Size: 6 meter inner diameter

Cost: $25 billion U.S.D. per unit

Chevron Color: Red

Type: Reusable

Style: Informal

Notes: Working like any of our Stargates, the Informal model is designed to be used in locations, like mines and industrial planets, where the clean, fresh look of the Formal version would be wasted.

Stargate (Formal) (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/stargatemk2.jpg)

Size: 6 meter inner diameter

Cost: $50 billion U.S.D. per unit

Chevron Color: Blue

Type: Reusable

Style: Formal

Notes: This version of Stargate is best used in locations where a clean, fresh look is needed. As it does not have the industrial look of the Informal version, our Formal Stargate is perfect for locations such as embassies and other places where the Informal model would be an eye sore.

Stargate (Super) (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b91/SeaQuest_Sim/Stargate%20Stuff/Supergatekawoosh.jpg)

Size: 1 kilometer inner diameter

Cost: $100 billion U.S.D. per unit

Chevron Color: N./A.

Type: Reusable

Style: Super

Notes: This version of Stargate is for use when you've got really big things that you just need to get places and don't have the power or tech needed to make it go to superluminal velocities. This Super Stargate, commonly called a Supergate, is your answer for this type of problem. Composed of segements, these Supergates can be don't have the traditional light-up Chevrons found on our Formal and Informal Stargates. Also, due to the size and design, a Supergate should be used in space only. A Supergate is a perfect design to use with the Wireless D.H.D. Console.

Dialing Devices

Dial-Home Device (D.H.D.)

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/dhd3.jpg

Informal: $5 billion U.S.D. per unit

Formal: $10 billion U.S.D. per unit

Type: Reusable

Size: 1 meter tall

Notes: The Informal D.H.D. (on the left of the above image) and the Formal D.H.D. (one the right in the above image) are designed to match their respective Stargates. However, if you are not image concious, you can mix and match Stargates and D.H.D.s to your hearts content. Also note, that all D.H.D.s in your posession and all those in everyone else's undergo periodic correlative updates every 200 years to account for stellar drift.

Dialing Computer

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/normal_stargate_engaged_wall.jpg

Size: Variable

Color: Variable

Type: Reusable

Cost: $1 billion U.S.D. per unit

Notes: Designed to work with either Stargate model in place of a D.H.D., a Dialing Computer is a quick and dirty way of operating a Stargate. While you get the benefit of only having to choose a destination from a list and have the Dialing Computer automatically dial it for you, it does so at a reduced speed than when using a D.H.D. and you must manually update when accounting for stellar drift.

Wireless D.H.D. Console

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/puddlejumper.jpg

Size: Variable

Color: Variable

Type: Reusable

Cost: $8 billion U.S.D. per unit

Notes: If you decide to put a Stargate in orbit of a planet, you'll need one of these to activate it.

Stargate Security Options

Iris

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/StargateIrisAnimation.gifhttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/StargateIris.jpg

Size: 6 meter diameter

Type: Reusable

Color: Variable

Cost: $250 million U.S.D. per unit

Notes: Designed to work as a physical block to anything coming through a incoming wormhole. The physical iris only covers the area of the Stargate where the wormhole forms. Can't be closed while a wormhole is forming, or it will be destroyed.

Shield

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/Stargate-shield.jpg

Size: 6 meter diameter

Color: Variable

Type: Reusable

Cost: $500 million U.S.D. per unit

Notes: Operating under the same principle as the physical version, the energy version uses a shield like force-field to surround the entire Stargate to block anything from exiting an incoming wormhole. Can't be active while an a wormhole is forming, otherwise would prevent said wormhole from forming in the first place.

Extras

Planetary Database

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/index.jpg

Size: N./A.

Color: N./A.

Type: Reusable

Current Size: 12,002 Gate Addresses

Price: $900 million U.S.D. per unit

Notes: A extra that will only stack with the Dialing Computer, the Planetary Database is for those nations that don't want to do the work of random dialing to find Gate Addresses. We will provide the Address for each Stargate you purchase in this. Also included will be the Gate Address for all planets not-currently claimed that have Stargates and the Address of any planet a nation is willing to submit to be added to the Database.

Chevron Color

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/stargate_schematic_closeup.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/stargate_chevron_diagram_vert.jpghttp://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/DragoonKVess/Stargates/stargate_chevron_diagram_horiz.jpg

Cost: $2 million U.S.D. per color per Chevron

Notes: If you want a different color than the standard one the Informal (red) and Formal (blue) Stargates come with, please specify how many you want in a specific color. Note, only one color per Chevron. However, if you want, we can set it so that all 9 of the Stargate's Chevrons are different colors. We will also make the D.H.D. (if you purchase one) that goes with it match the colors of the Stargate.

Special Notes

If the Dialing Device detects a problem, the wormhole will not form and the lighted chevrons will de-energize. The following detected problems will cause the wormhole to fail to appear:

* The destination Stargate is already active with an incoming or outgoing wormhole
* The destination Stargate is buried or otherwise blocked so completely that there is no space for the wormhole to form
* Other conditions affecting safety are detected, such as the wormhole being predicted to pass through a sun

Also note, only one Stargate can be activate per planet at a single time. This means, that if you have multiple Stargates on a single planet, only one will work.

We are now open for business.

Could you tell us if ALL the known gate addresses are included in the Database?

Then don't get it. Would only work with the Dialing Computer anyway. Of course, you can alway manually add Addresses. The Goa'uld were quite messy and often left rooms covered with carved Gate Addresses.

In order to better facilitate contact with the rest of the many races in the galaxy, Tar'en AVD has issued a request for several examples of the popular Stargate. While the Sovereignty possess its own version of such a network, it has proven incompatible with the Stargate system.

This is an order for 2 "Formal" Stargate systems, and 2 "Formal" DH devices. It is requested that the DHD be modified with a new interface that allows the storage and implementation of the "Planetary Database" found on the Dialing Computer, while retaining its superior dial speeds.

Tar'en is prepared to pay whatever the cost necessary to have these modifications made on the units ordered, and any future purchases.

You may have a problem in that, stargates are supposedly, spread all about the galaxy on thousands (if not more) of planets, so it isn't exactly like there is any sort of shortage, or like it is impossible for someone to claim their planet has one.

EDIT: OOC: Also, check TGs again, I have plans for these gates. I need to know how the Warp would interact with a Stargate.

OOC: Frankly, I don't know how the Warhammer Warp will interact with them. The Naquada is a very effecient super-conductor of energy and will explode in a detonation suffecient to plunge an Earth-like planet into a new Ice Age if too much energy is input.

Ah, now I understand. Your assessment is correct, few, if any, use stargate tech (And who can blame them?), though I do know one. But really that just strengthens my point made earlier: That being few will find need for this kind of storefront, and that is probably why 99% of the posts here will be bumps. Now I am not saying that it's a bad idea to have a storefront (obviously, we all need some cash) but maybe this storefront wasn't such a good idea.

You want to do this via daily telegrams to me or daily posts in this thread to pay of your $43 trillion U.S.D. debt?

@Niiatar: Uh, weren't you just paying attention. M.M. a Starcraft tech nation just bought $51 trillion U.S.D. worth of stuff from a Stargate tech store.


I didn't actually, since it happened while I was posting. Really, despite the fac tI think this is destined to fail (and I have serious doubts MM can afford this given his current pop count and the fact purchasing that amount of cash far exceeds the budgets of most nations 3 times his size) I wish you luck; store fronts aren't easy, and few ever succeed.

OOC:
1.) Thanks.

3.) You'll find some strange things on N.S.. The fact that this Storefront has IC support from my nation, its more likely to succeed. Stargates are useful tools. Nations would have to be very small or very powerful to not need a way to transport supplies and personnel from planet to planet with a nearly instantaneous travel time.

a few questions:
what is the gate exclusion radius of an active gate?
what are the material requirements for gate chevrons? DHD central shpheres?

a few questions:

We will try to answer them to the best of our ability.

what is the gate exclusion radius of an active gate?

Basically, its one per planet active at a time. Never tried multiple active Gates in one star system. Most likely won't work as the Address symbols use stellar co-ordinates and not planetary co-ordinates.

what are the material requirements for gate chevrons? DHD central shpheres?

Due to the closessness those questions vear towards us revealing production info, which is not up for sale at this moment, we must politly decline to answer. All we can say is if they material is not of the right purity, for example, the explosive potential for a faulty Gate is quite high.

I went back to Page 5 and counted how many times you sent each payment of $7 trillion, including the original payment at the ordering and added it all up.

2.) It wasn't my place to list them even if I was.

2 Formal gates x 50 billion = 100 billion
13 wireless DHD Consoles x 8 billion = 104 billion
13 planatary data systems x 900 million = 11.7 billion
12 Iris covers (11 infomal, 1 formal) x 250 million = 3 billion
2 Shields (both formal) x 500 million = 1 billion

Total order: 494.7 billion

The majority of the money is coming from our commerce budget (300 billion), the rest is split between law and order and the defense budgets (194.7 billion). The entire amount can be deposited as a special purchase this year.

We ask that only the locations of the two formal gates be published in the public data systems (Xuma and Ur).

Two requests:
1) As we explore, the final step in any colony creation would be to locate a gate there. We wish to keep on deposit with you an amount sufficient to deliver an informal gate, wireless console, iris and planet data system at our notice to you. That would be 34.15 billion.

2) Can another gate system, besides the emergency platform, be put on a planet killer aquired from Geneticon?

In regards to your questions:

1.) A seperate custom package will be made in the package section for you.

2.) Ship based Stargates are quite feasable, as are space based Stargates. In regards to both ship based and space based Stargates, you need to know the Point-Of-Origin symbol for the star system you are currently in before you can dial someplace else.

In regards to your budget:

According to those numbers, you could pay using either the Defense Budget or the Commerce Budget alone.

Now that was uncalled for.

OOC: A better term for a lot of these people would be imaginative people who remember facts about things that interest them. Or another is people who funnel an unsatisfied author inside of them.

Actually, the calculators do not realise, that I don't actually spend mony in all those areas, for instance, i have spent nothing on military, ever. Religion and spirituality are a matter of the people, as is Education. The decisions on the NS portion are answered only to keep the nation alive, and cannot acuritly reflect what is truely going on. My national Bank account is fairly large, or at least it was. After all, previously, why did i need a military, I was all alone in the lonely Andromeda Galaxy. Why did i need education> Families handed down knowledge parent to child. formal centralised educational systems were not really thought of. Religion and spirituality was not needed, you know the IC reasons why, and for that matter, you can pray anywhere you like, why build a temple. The best ones are found in nature anyways. That's the way my government was, that was why I could afford it in one go.

With the Advent of the Aquamarinians, after the Fluidic space thread is done, everythings going to change. Aquamarinians are marvelous beurocrats, and Gareens always need something to smash, its in their nature. The Aqua Marinians are going to re-invent the government, and nearly re-invent my nation. Just you watch my economy page, things will change, you'll see.

THE COMPUTER will order one (1) Informal Stargate.

Query: Is a payment plan of 250 million Universal Standard Dollars every three months sufficient?

OOC: According to my calculations, it will take you 100 payments of $250 million U.S.D.. However, if you use your full $2 billion defense budget (its technically $3 billion if you convert it from your currency to U.S.D.), it will then take you only 12.5 payments to pay the $25 billion U.S.D.

Very well. Will the stargate be delivered after the first payment?

Which payment plan? The 100 payment one or the 12.5 one?

The Confederacy whishes to know why Stargate Command thinks it can get away with selling a poorly constructed single-use stargate at a 15 million percent mark up over manufacturing costs*?

As such the Confederate Ministry of Finance advises all parties to not purchase the Emergency Stargate as its price is blatant highway robbery.

-- Minister of Finance



*Estimated at 100,000 dollars giving the extremely generous assumption that Carter had a 100 grand credit limit on her card and whatshisface maxed it out.

The Emergency Stargates, just like everything else, takes time and skill to craft. Also, due to the fact that each is mostly constructed by had, labor costs are also added to the equation. As are shipping and handling. People usually also want a guarantee that their replacement for their escape pods will work, so that also costs extra.

OOC: Basically, I calculated the cost to go wiith what its used for (ie, what's written in the notes) and the other items being sold.

((OC- Trying to find an excuse to buy a Formal set package, though also need to figure out how to integrate it into my existing Gate networks. Might use it as a diplomatic bit between our capital worlds or such.

Just wanted an opinion before I went for anything here. =^^= ))

OOC: Frankly, due to MM's little stunt with Botany, the Warp, and a Stargate, I don't use Stargates anymore, but my own custom modification.

Of course, you're welcome to install one in an embassy on Belle Terre if you want.

((OC- That would be fine. I'll look through and setup a 'formal' package later for setup there. The only thing we need is specific security codes to link our gates to.

I use my own version all across my Supercluster, a hybrid of Hikari Power energy, white diamond, crystalline composites, and solid light, with a coordinate system based on sonic variation, rather than logical gate addresses. Makes it like a symphonic orchestra was making phone numbers for our gate addresses, since sounds have a 'wide' variation of frequencies to use.

Our version of DHDs far more symplistic actually, with coordinates fed into a dynamic control panel, one that changes screen formation based on the database, seperated into galaxy listings, like an oversized spreadsheet tree format, to locate the appropriate world. All that's needed is the world desired, the coordinates displayed in a few holo-buttons, and the sonic variations handle the rest. Just add in sonic scramblers to code/decode the frequencies, and a standard gate shield, basic security measures, and there you have it.

Mention I should our gates can adjust size up to allowing a whole battlemech to pass through, and that gates set on individual base frequencies, set next to each other in the same chamber, don't interfere with either's operation. All that's needed is the same number of destination gates of any kind or type to complete the transport.

Terrestrial based, ship based, space based. The only thing we lack are the super gates, which is where the dimensional gates the angelics provide, handle such needed, such as transdimensional vessel jumps, where fold jumping is not wanted, or cross dimensional events take place.

This all just is to show how my variation works, and what would need to be either merged into, or if prefered, have a seperate gate set installed to lessen worry of your own gate security. (Again if you still will be using one.)

If nothing else, it'll just show a different kind of diplomatic contact if nothing else, on Belle Terre. =^^= ))

OOC: Cool.

As for my variation, only thing similar to Stargates are that they are made of superconductive materials (usually Naquadah) and two are required to complete a connection. Other than that, the Archway, as I've named them, are my own design.

OOC: Bump for customers.

Two question. Firstly, waht does a D.H.D actually do? I don't get it. Secondly, is it possible to mount two stargates on mobile objects (case in point: starships) and have them remain functional?

You can mount a single Stargate in a ship or station, but only one at a time. Try to open a second while the first is active and it won't work.

As for the D.H.D., think of it as the keypad on a telephone. When placed in the correct order, the D.H.D. can tell the Stargate where you want to go.
