List of miscellaneous technology in the Stargate universe

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of miscellaneous technology in the Stargate universe


This article lists prominent technologies in the Stargate universe that are cannot be categorised by race due to the race's lack of prominence.
A less specific overview of Stargate technology may be found at the main technology article.
These are technological advancements made by miscellaneous other civilizations in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. These are generally made by the more advanced human civilizations that have appeared. As numerous advanced technologies exist, only important ones are listed here.

Atoniek armbands

The Atonieks were the subject of legends across the galaxy because of a technology which gave them unprecedented speed and strength. These devices turned out to be real; they were armbands discovered by the Tok'ra Anise in an archaeological survey of the Atoniek planet.

The armbands used a virus to cause the change in the subjects. Eventually the Atoniek warriors developed an immunity to the virus, causing the armbands to become ineffective. The armbands are ineffective on the Goa'uld, Tok'ra, and Jaffa likely because of the healing powers of the symbiote.

Anise brought the armbands to Earth where Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson put on the armbands, significantly increasing their abilities. Carter is able to see well in the dark and is able to write a thousand-page book on wormhole physics in under two hours, while Daniel and Jack are able to read books in a matter of seconds. Feeling SG-1's judgement has been impaired by the armbands, Hammond removes them from active duty. When SG-1 learns of a prototype mothership being built by Apophis SG-1 leaves the base and infiltrates the facility to destroy the ship. While in the facility, the members of SG-1 develop an immunity to the virus produced by the armbands and are no longer able to pass through the Goa'uld force-shields leaving them stranded until Teal'c arrives to rescue them.

Memory-grafting device (Galarans)

Invented by the Galarans, a civilization that developed to roughly on the same technological level as Earth under the protective umbrella of the Protected Planets Treaty. Before becoming a Protected Planet, it had been under Goa'uld rule, and it appears that a Goa'uld memory device had been left by the previous rulers of the planet; the Galaran government conducted extensive research into creating a successful device with the same function. The memory-grafting device allows individuals to share memories almost seamlessly, with great military and professional applications (for example, learning to become a fighter pilot or learning a new language in a matter of weeks rather than years).

Ronon's Gun

This pistol, carried by Ronon Dex, is an energy weapon with multiple settings. Its lowest setting is a stun blast capable of rendering a target unconscious for a number of hours, but leaving them otherwise unharmed. The most powerful setting (seen thus far) of the weapon has the same effect as a shotgun, capable of blowing open a hole approximately ten inches (25 centimeters) wide. It has the appearance of a long-barreled revolver, with the rear part of the cylinder glowing red like the blasts it fires.

The Sentinel (Latonans)

See "The Sentinel (Stargate SG-1)".

Wraith vaccination (Hoffans)

See "Poisoning the Well (Stargate Atlantis)".

Genii Technology

The Genii are a race of people in the Pegasus Galaxy that appear to be simple, Amish-like farmers but are a more advanced, militaristic culture that is technologically equivalent to Earth in the 1940s.

Genii Computer

Given that the rest of Genii technology indicates an equivalence to 1940s, these computers feature monochrome screens and a degree of compactness in computers not seen until the late 1960s to early 1970s; while computers existed in the 1940s, they were the size of several rooms. Their contact with Wraith computing doubtless allowed them to make such great advances in this area of technology.

Genii Firearms

The Genii, being extremely militaristic, have several types of firearms, and make them in large quantities.

Genii Rifles

Genii rifles tend to have three barrels, arranged in an obtuse isosceles triangle, with the central barrel on top and the vertex of the obtuse angle. The Genii Rifles, like the Tau'Ri, are projectile based.

Genii Pistols

The barrel of a Genii pistol is very distinctive, having the form of a cylinder approximately the size of an American can of soda. There is a hole in the middle, apparently the muzzle of the weapon. It is cocked by sliding a movable section to the side, rather than the backwards-cocking familiar on Earth.

Genii Nuclear Weapons

The Genii are highly endeavored with developing nuclear weapons, and most of their efforts for the first year of Earth's involvement in the Pegasus Galaxy were directed at extracting the necessary high explosives (namely C-4) to compress the sub-critical mass of plutonium.
