Ori starships The Ori order their followers to begin constructing a fleet of ships after learning of the existence of the Milky Way galaxy in "Origin". Due to their advanced technology, their ships pose a considerable threat.
Fighter
An Ori fighter is a small dart-shaped attack vessel first seen in "Flesh and Blood", where they defeat a number of Death Gliders and Al'kesh over Chulak. Carried by Ori motherships, they are deployed from a ventral bay and are armed with powerful energy weapons. In "Line in the Sand", one is shown carrying a ring transporter platform that it drops to the ground, allowing troops to be deployed from the mothership. Mothership
Ori motherships in "Camelot". Ori motherships first appear under construction in the episode " Crusade". Four ships invade the Miky way galaxy in the following episode "Camelot", where they decimate a combined Asgard, human, Jaffa, AlLianceucian , and Tok'ra fleet at P3Y-229 without taking any appreciable damage. In "Flesh and Blood", the ships proceed to conquer Chulak before splitting up. In the episode "The Pegasus Project", Teal'c lures an Ori mothership into the unstable vortex (the "kawoosh") of the activating Supergate, destroying it. In "The Shroud", Daniel Jackson/Merlin commandeers a mothership in order to send the Sandeaal to the Ori galaxy. However, his plan requires that the Supergate be reopened, and shortly after six more Ori motherships enter the galaxy. In the Stargate SG-1 finale "Unending", the Asgard equip the Earth battlecruiser Odyssey with plasma beam weapons that are effective against the shields of Ori motherships. Nevertheless, the Odyssey is outnumbered and only escapes the Ori through the creative use of a time dilation field. In Stargate: The Ark of Truth, all the Ori motherships stand down after the activation of the titular object. One of the most formidable warships seen in Stargate, an Ori mothership's main weapon can destroy a Goa'uld Ha'tak in a single shot. It also has smaller energy weapons scattered around the hull. The ship is protected by shields that are impervious to all but the most powerful attacks. Explosives placed inside a mothership have failed to detonate for undetermined reasons. The ship carries numerous fighters and can also land directly on a planetary surface. The mothership is equipped with an intergalactic hyperdrive, but it must use a Supergate to reach the Milky Way from the Ori home galaxy. The technology of the Ori mothership must be "activated" by a Prior, and only they (or the Orici) can control a mothership, which involves some degree of mental command. Inside, the ship contains prayer rooms, armories, and quarters for the ordinary human warriors of the Ori. The power source is located inside a large enclosed chamber and is of unknown design. |
