Stargates
From ATS Wiki
Stargates are a way to quickly get from one area of space to another. First developed by the Zhrakhad Orders many thousands of years ago as a way to travel within the empire, which was spread out over many thousands of parsecs in unstable space, the technology came to the Alpha and Beta Quadrants in the late 24th century upon the discovery of the Orders by the United Federation of Planets. The ZO placed new stargates in the AQ, BQ, and GQ but those were destroyed during the Second Dominion War. Meanwhile, stargate technology was developed by the Unity, and after the disappearance of the ZO in 2401, stargates owned by The Unity became the only ones left for use by the AQ/BQ powers. It used to be that each stargate could only take you one other stargate and that stargate could only take you to the first stargate, much like traveling through a tunnel.
However, this recently changed, as the Unity networked all its stargates such that each stargate can take you to any other stargate. There are currently four active gates and two inactive/proposed locations if one looks at the list of gates available. These six locations are:
- Angela V - GQ - USB Scream Factory
- Lily Yo II - DQ - USB Celestine Gate
- Kildare V - LMC - USB Stormwatch
- Sherman's Planet - BQ - USB Galadriel
- New Risa - Inactive/unbuilt
- Old Risa - Inactive/unbuilt
To use a stargate, one lands on the appropriate base and, without opening any hatches or airlocks, types stargate <base>.
For example:
To get from the LMC to Sherman's Planet, I would land my ship on USB Stormwatch and type stargate galadriel. Note that partial matches also work, so stargate gala and stargate galadr would be work just as well.
