Devastation Comes In Big Packages [Planetary Annihilation/Multicross SI]
Eh, I think this is likely from pretty much any other planet but Earth... Or Abydoss... So, may be Stargate, may be not. I think someone suggested that it might be 40K... and given that torroar's R.O.B. is a dick... it's probably 40K. Sorry, but, really should pay attention to little details like that. Makes making bad assumptions less embarrassing. I should know, I fail at paying attention often enough to have nearly mastered the art of foot in mouth as well.torroar said:
Oh. My apologies. I forgot that there weren't ubiquitous tiny gliders in Stargate - oh wait.
he wrote that it's stargate on the first page
It's Stargate.
Yeah, and? They didn't launch while over Earth until Anubis came, and that was a fleet, with fighters, and they didn't launch over Abydoss until the System Lords tried to face Anubis' giant laser ship... and that was a fleet. So, unless this universe, too, is fanfiction verse; it wasn't over Earth or Abydoss. So... yeah, guess you still have egg on your face, and just outed yourself as an arse.Edit:
Again, yeah... and? The argument was whether or not they were in Earth orbit. I also acknowledged in my opening argument that it could be Stargate, I was just pointing out it wasn't over Earth.

I'll admit I openly started giggling as soon as I read that.
Though if you're in stargate like I think you are then I get the feeling the word "giant pyramid" is misleading as your ship is the size of a continent while Goa'uld ships are about the size of... well a pyramid. Also I'm pretty certain it's less that you slammed your ship through said flying pyramid and more like that pyramid sort of splatted itself against your windshield and you made a slightly disgusted noise before activating the windshield wipers.
Still if you are in stargate you're life has gotten both alot easier and harder. Your enemies are on the lower spectrum (Well until the replicators and Ori show up). However it's also one of those galaxies where you might have to actually take care of people instead of just leaving them alone after saving them. The last time the Goa'uld were removed from power the only people who had enough pull to provide some form of stability for humans was the Lucian Alliance (the space mafia) while the free Jaffa were more disorganized and a source of instability.
You might have to go full Robotic Emperor in this galaxy just to make sure that some form of stable galactic government is present to administer all of the world's you'll be taking from the Goa'uld. Also expect to be worshiped as a God, because honestly with the Cry of Gimli under your command I'd worship you too.

The absolute first thing he should do is build a second Commander. That way they get a unit cap of 60! Yay teamwork!
Stargate is one of the universe where violence is not what's needed.
Well. Not too much, at least.
But instead uplifting the human kept around antiquity level. Because otherwise, tribal chief and spaceships will end up with lots of fire and stuff.
Also, you can't count on earth for solving problem because of the fucking hippy called Daniel. Aka "blah blah blah culture blah blah blah. Can't use violent weapons on slavers, blah blah blah."

Just thinking about how someone mentioned an epilogue interlude from the sky clan perspective. I'm just thinking of it taking place at the wedding of theta and his No. 1 stalker fan. Mostly so I can imagine a Death Star wearing a bow tie and top hat.

Yeah, that's me. It was kind of dickish to condescendingly apologize and tell you to keep an eye on the minor details. No, wait, that was you. I hate to prick that inflated balloon of your self-assurance, but SG1 bailed out of Apophis' mothership in gliders when in Earth Orbit circa 1998, 'The Serpent's Lair'.
Whoops.
PS: It's spelled 'Abydos'.
PPS: Anubis' 'giant laser ship' superweapon was destroyed over Vis Uban, then the ship itself over Langara. The one he brought to the assault on Earth/Antarctica was a mothership without that superweapon.
PPPS: SG1 wasn't in gliders during that event, they were in a Tel'tak and were out of atmosphere for at most a few seconds before rapidly descending to Antarctica - their close exit and high velocity was a plot point.

It's like some of you forgot that the Goa'uld are/were a galaxy spanning Empire.
As some people have forgotten, sonic weaponry is a thing in the Star Wars Universe.
Which is says the speakers are directly copied from, then modified to produce the weapony bits while also having noise.
Like...sonic blasters, and pistols, and rifles, and bombs.
Space sonic bombs.
As used by Boba Fett and likely plenty others.
Take that, throw in some Progenitor-izing, and you get Speakers In Space.

If they were loud enough they would work, or the just cause matter to vibrate in a field of effect who cares it's fiction.

I deny the fact that you used sonic weapons at all. It never happened. You used some space progenitor tech bullshit to do that.

Which is amazing considering there is no medium for sound to travel in space! How the heck would that even work, I call shenanigans!
Ah, you missed the perfect opportunity to troll Palpatine...
"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you…"

They were a galaxy spanning Empire whose members constantly stabbed each other in the back, whose land militaries use line infantry tactics, and whose greatest strength is their space fleet... which is built entirely from unskilled labor who have no idea how anything works out of the fear that their slaves might learn how to replicate their technology. So any lost ships aren't going to be replaced all that quickly.
Really I'd think the whole challenge with the Goa'uld is just how many of them their are and how to deal with all of their slave world's populations once you're through with them
Plus I'd think you'd be more worried about the replicators and ascended beings. Also possibly the Wraith if you try to deal with them.

The thing you're quoting was more a me talking about how just because I ran over a flying pyramid doesn't mean I'm over Earth or the planet that Jackson squatted on for a year.
Like...
I could be a lot of places, ya ken?
The power of combining all of the my techbase including gravity and sonic weaponry plus Progenitor stuff over the course of 17 years! Huzzah!
