	== ~~Non-Stationary Gates~~ ==		== Challenges of Gate Placement ==
	Gates are commonly installed on moving objects, such as planets orbiting their suns and solar systems revolving around the galactic core. This means that gates can be placed on various objects, including spacecraft. However, to establish a wormhole, a gate must be present on a vessel traveling in normal space at sub-light speeds. For a spacecraft to have a gate with an active wormhole, it should be as close to stationary as possible. The subspace-inertial forces that arise during wormhole establishment can cause significant damage to a vessel attempting to travel at even moderate speeds. Unlike planets, which are protected by their gravitational fields, spacecraft lack the ability to generate such a field. Therefore, it is preferable to place gates on planetary bodies, with a preference for Class C worlds or larger, having a radius of at least 500 km. Gas giants like Class J (Jovian), I (Uranian), or larger planets are not suitable for surface gate placement. However, orbital outposts can be constructed for these gates, provided they are in a low orbit and can leverage the gravitational warping of space-time to shield them from the subspace-inertial forces. Without a strong gravitational pull to anchor them, orbital gates could easily be pulled out of orbit by these forces. Ideally, Class S (Supergiant) and Class T (Transitional Giant) or Class U (Ultragiant) planets are the most suitable for orbital gate placement due to their significantly higher gravitational fields.

The Hermod Gate, developed by the [[Solas Tempus]] in conjunction with the United [[Federation]] of Planets and governed by the [[Hermod Consortium]] as part of Janus-Hermid treaty, is an advanced version of the [[Stargate]]. Unlike the original Stargates, which relied on the rare element Naquadah as a building material and powerful capacitor for wormhole generation, the Hermod Gate utilizes alternative technologies. The Hermod Consortium, named after the Norse messenger God of Frigg, is responsible for constructing and maintaining the gate network for the collective benefit of all. While member governments have control over gates within their territories, the [[Janus-Hermod Treaty]] ensures that no member can impede the operation of the gate network between political powers. This approach aligns with the [[Hyperspace-Warp Treaty\|established treaties governing warp drive and hyperspace travel]] as well as other universally accepted methods of space travel.

	The original [[Stargates]] utilized a subspace communications network, with each gate acting as a passive relay, allowing the gate network to expand without the need for servers. The Dial Home Device (DHD) controlled the gates and used this transmission network to broadcast positioning updates between gates. While the Hermod Gate Network still accepts these subspace signals, it employs a hybrid tachyon-subspace transmission system. This hybrid system is similar to the one used in Hyperspace for navigation between Jump Gates. The subspace-tachyon hybrid system enables the gate network to utilize not only the gates themselves as relays but also transmission through Jump Gates, subspace relays, and other communication networks. The system possesses dynamic mode switching capabilities, allowing it to integrate with subspace relay networks used by any known race.

This relative position from origin to destination is then used to compute the [[Janus Coordinates]] for any wormhole.

			==== Why is there a 7th Symbol? ====
			The 7th Symbol allows the destination gate to verify that it is calculating the relative position of the gate that has contacted it. The gate system will compare the 7th symbol with the gate which has contacted it, preventing a person from establishing a wormhole between 2 gates from a 3rd gate. The 7th symbol is also used for authentication on some private gate networks or secure gate locations for which travel is restricted. Again the system will compare the gate requesting a connection with the 7th symbol and ensure that the signal comes from the gate whose 7th symbol identifies the origin.

			The system compares not only the signal contents which establish an origin 9-symbol unique gate location but the signal itself. If a mismatch is detected, verification is requested from the origin gate specified by the 7th symbol.

	The new gate design allows for a wormhole to open up without a gate on both sides. While it is safest to operate direct gate-to-gate connections, the gate can project a wormhole. When this occurs the origin gate uses a method similar to a transporter to broadcast a matter stream through the wormhole to materialize on the other side.		The new gate design allows for a wormhole to open up without a gate on both sides. While it is safest to operate direct gate-to-gate connections, the gate can project a wormhole. When this occurs the origin gate uses a method similar to a transporter to broadcast a matter stream through the wormhole to materialize on the other side.

			=== Using a Transporter With an Active Wormhole ===
			The gate itself is designed to dematerialize any matter which crosses the event horizon into a matter stream. This matter stream is then rematerialized on the other side. The gates themselves do not use a pattern buffer the way a transporter does, but instead store the pattern within the gate capacitors themselves. The gate itself is only designed to hold a pattern for a few seconds and is thus not as robust as a transporter using a pattern buffer, especially if the transporter is able to beam to a receiving pad that has its own pattern buffer.

			Since the gate does not alter energy which enters the event horizon, a transporter can be used to dematerialize matter converting it into a matter stream in the pattern buffer, then transmit that pattern through the gate. Since the gate uses a wormhole to do this, the transporter beam's subspace signal must be synchronized with the subspace signature of the gate's wormhole. Once synchronous the transporter can transmit the matter stream through the gate. Since the wormhole connects two points in the multiverse with each other, this is the preferred method of transporting an unprotected individual through the gate to a location without a gate. The addition of using the transporter allows for additional safety precautions to protect an individual from potential pattern loss when not having a receiving gate to store the matter stream before it is transmitted. The transporter protocol itself is more robust in handling those situations.

			A government must register any private network with the Hermod Consortium and the government then can assign its own symbol to the gate network, provided that symbol is not already in use elsewhere. The Hermod Consortium must have a complete list of gate networks which are acceptable targets for travel. A gate network may be created to be completely separate from the Hermod Gate Network but this network still needs to be registered with the consortium if the network uses Hermod Gates.
