Hermod Supergate: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:22, 1 December 2021

The Hermod Supergate is a subtype of the Hermod Gate. Instead of using a fixed ring for generation of a wormhole, this gate uses a variable number of blocks which are linked by phased plasma which binds the gate blocks together and allows them to function as a unified ring. The original gate itself is modified from the Type 3 Stargate to act as a Hermod Supergate for the primary purpose of Trans-Dimensional travel to other realities.

Power Source

The Supergate is powered by a series of 14 matter/antimatter reactors placed at equal-distant points built into the gate-blocks at those points. When activated the reactors provide the power to open the gate and maintain the wormhole. However, the power is drained from the system faster than the reactors can produce it, since the blocks were designed to operate from a planet-sized (or larger) quantum singularity.

Choosing a Destination

The nature of different realities in the multiverse makes travel to a reality too similar to ones own very difficult and extremely costly in energy and control. Using Janus Coordinates the gate can be targeted to any reality for which the coordinates are confirmed. Coordinates should be confirmed by Janus Station prior to being used.

Conventional Travel

It is also possible to use the Supergate to open a wormhole to somewhere within our own universe, given the proper coordinates and power usage, it may even be possible to access other galaxies using the gate.

Communication

A specific kind of beacon is used, based on a design for a temporal transponder, to signal the gate to open on demand to a particular universe, the signal will cross realities to reach the system and allow the gate to be activated, it cannot be activated from the opposite end. This beacon is known as a Trans-Dimensional Beacon, Janus Station and Tharsis monitors for signals of this type so that it can activate the gate.

Restrictions

The wormhole stays open for a limited time before it exhausts the energy built up by the reactors. A wormhole can only stay open for a maximum of 38 minutes before it reaches a point that the reactors can no longer sustain. The reactors then require another 12.6 minutes to recharge the gates power reserves before they can open another stable wormhole.

+The Hermod Supergate is a subtype of the [[Hermod Gate]].  Instead of using a fixed ring for generation of a wormhole, this gate uses a variable number of blocks which are linked by phased plasma which binds the gate blocks together and allows them to function as a unified ring.  The original gate itself is modified from the Type 3 [[Stargate]] to act as a [[Hermod Supergate]] for the primary purpose of Trans-Dimensional travel to other realities.
-The Supergate is based on devices found with the original [[Stargates]].  It a modified Type IV [[Stargate]], the only known one to exist is in the [[Schatten Star System]] known as [[Janus Gate]].  The gate opens up a wormhole that crosses between the dimensional barriers between realities.  As such, it is capable of transporting a vessel from one reality to another.  Unlike a traditional Stargate, the connection goes both ways and does not require a receiving Stargate on the other end, but rather opens up a wormhole.
-Operation is triggered by using a [[Trans-Dimensional Beacon]], which allows operators to locate a reality's coordinates and target the Supergate.
