(Colonia Expedition) |
Colonia, also called the Creator's City, the City of Wonders, and known as Colonian in Ancient, is a city-ship built by the Ancients several million years ago, and has approximately the same internal space as found in Manhattan. A branch of the Ancients left our galaxy several million years ago for the Vennix Galaxy, were they settled on a planet they named Enharea and built Colonia there.
Millions of years later the Enhareans — the name the Ancients came to be known by — abandoned the city after fighting a devastating war against an unknown enemy and left the galaxy for parts unknown.
History[]
Ancient's use[]
- "We know the Ancients on Earth were suffering from a plague. Uh, maybe some of them were trying to start over, seeding life in a new galaxy."
- — Daniel Jackson
Under the Expedition[]
Technology[]
Colonia has a great deal of advanced technology in it, ranging from the Stargate and Puddle Jumpers, to drone weapons, the stardrive and the all-important shield.
Energy[]
The ZPM room
Colonia's main energy supply are ZPMs, which are stored in a special room. To gain access to all of the technology and features of Colonia, three are needed, however in cases of emergency, one can perform the most important tasks. The city also possesses several solar-powered generators, however they don't provide much energy in proportion to the massive amounts required to operate any useful technology in the city.
Shield[]
Stardrive[]
The stardrive on Colonia enables the city to travel to distant planets, or even galaxies, in only a few days and is incredibly powerful. It is designed to operate with 3 ZPMs, but can be powered by 1 if the situation calls for it, and if other power sources are used as well. The most power is used in getting Colonia off the surface, after this a single ZPM is able to power the city and open a hyperspace window.
Stargate[]
Colonia's Stargate transports people and objects to other worlds. It also features a force field that prevents even subatomic particles from rematerializing, similar in function to the iris protecting Earth's Stargate only much more effective. Also, unlike every other Stargate in the Vennix Galaxy the Colonia Gate is able to dial another galaxy due to a special crystal in its DHD, however the Ancient's removed this crystal when they abandoned the city leaving the gate unable to dial other galaxies although the gate is still capable of receiving incoming extragalactic wormholes.
