Technology in Stargate - Other Technology

Other Technology

Various other technologies have been depicted in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis that are significant to the plot, including:

• Atanik armband Legendary devices believed to be created by the extinct Ataniks. Worn on the forearm, they inject a virus into the user that vastly enhances speed and strength. They are discovered by the Tok'ra Anise, who brings them to the SGC for testing as their effects are neutralized by Goa'uld symbiotes. SG-1 undertakes a mission to destroy Apophis' advanced mothership under the armbands' influence, but discover that the effects wear off as the host acquires antibodies to the virus.
• Memory-grafting device Technology invented by the Galarans (at least particularity based and enhanced from other technologies left on their world), allowing one person's memories to be read, stored, and implanted seamlessly with human physiology. Earth expresses interest in the device due to its great military and professional potential, though it is shown that there is also the potential for abuse. The device is later used by Cameron Mitchell to help a dying friend, and to give Vala false memories so as to capture Adria.
• Link Sophisticated computer system that provides for the inhabitants of P3X-289, who live in a protective force-field due to an ecological disaster. The Link is found to be altering memories to keep its charges from learning that the force-field is shrinking and that it has been sending people outside to die so as to avoid overpopulation. The Link is disabled by SG-1, and the people of P3X-289 resettled.
• Mimic device Small devices used by aliens to impersonate SGC personnel in an invasion of Earth. After the aliens are defeated, the devices are sent to Area 51 for study. They are stolen by the NID and used to frame Jack O'Neill for an assassination attempt on Senator Kinsey.
• Quantum mirror A portal made from naqahdah, found on P3R-233, that allows access to parallel universes. Daniel Jackson's experience with the mirror gives Earth advance warning of Apophis' attack. Afterwards, the mirror is stored at Area 51. It is used by alternate versions of Samantha Carter and Charles Kawalsky to flee from Goa'uld domination in their universe. The mirror is later destroyed.
• Stasis Pod The stasis podused to make a whole virtual world that was used on the crew of the Aurora made by the ancients
• Tollan ion cannon The primary defense technology of the Tollan. They are ground-based weapons that can destroy a Ha'tak in a single shot, until Anubis devises shield modifications that render them useless. Under Goa'uld pressure, the Tollan offer ion cannon technology to Earth in exchange for trinium. However, Samantha Carter determines that it would be impractical for Earth to deploy an ion cannon network due to the number of cannons required.
• Tollan phase device A small device developed by the Tollan which allows them to pass through solid matter such as walls or the iris protecting Earth's Stargate. The Tollan later incorporate this technology into a powerful bomb developed for the Goa'uld Tanith and were planned to be used to destroy Stargate Command before the Tollan rebelled against Tanith.
• Traveler pistol (Ronon's gun) Weapon carried by Ronon Dex, first seen in "Runner". It has three settings that are indicated by color on the weapon: orange for stun, white for kill and red for incinerate. The origin of the weapon is still unknown, though the episode "Travelers" shows the Travelers carrying the same type of weapons. It is unknown whether the Travelers developed these weapons or simply scavenged them.
• Sentinel Advanced defensive device created by the Latonans, who have since rejected technology and forgotten its specifications. The device is inadvertently disabled by two NID agents seeking to study its technology for the defense of Earth, leaving Latona vulnerable. SG-1 determines that the Sentinel must be bonded to a human operator to activate; one of the NID agents originally responsible volunteers in order to save Latona from Svarog.
• Touchstone A device on the planet Madrona that controls the weather, without which the weather becomes violent. In the episode "Touchstone", it is stolen by rogue NID agents masquerading as SGC personnel, and later recovered by SG-1.
