The Stargates in SG:U
- Thread starter Checkmate
- Start date
These are early models of the Stargate, the first ones the Ancients ever made. They would obviously have limitations later models don't.
Maybe the SGU gates are/were a 'basic' model that can be easily mass produced by the seeder ships, and a follow up effort would replace the SGU gates with the MW or Pegasus Gates, that aren't as easy to mass produce but are better line models that are more versatile in dialing?
In that manner, a gate system of sorts ready for the colonists to use while setting up shop, and bringing in the top of the line model gates when things have settled.

do not know this as fact, never has been stated or explored, all we know is that they can't dial across the galaxy like MW or Pegasus gates
the point was that the ancients were going to use destiny to dial to the gates and explore them, at some point destiny would be manned for periods of time to explore the worlds, so they wouldn't have to have the gates dial across the galaxy, the ancients would then later come in and update the galaxy with gates, like they did with pegasus

The first part doesn't need to be stated; we can see it every time we see one of the gates. There's nine chevrons, and we know what the 8th and 9th ones are for. We also know that they only have enough juice to dial gates within a limited range, and we know the one on Destiny came very close to dialing back to Earth when it was getting all the juice it could handle (and very possibly would have succeeded if Rush hadn't have sabotaged it).
