Portal:Stargate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Stargates are large, ring-shaped devices in the Stargate science fiction universe that utilize advanced technology for nearly instantaneous personal travel across the vast distances of space. |
 | | The Stargate is the central plot generator of these productions, allowing for stories focused on a small team of protagonists exploring other planets and meeting other races on foot, rather than the more prevalent, grandiose "space opera" of interstellar starships seen elsewhere in science fiction. |
 | | Stargates are present on many planets but, to primitive peoples, they are no more than relics carrying associations of the divine and sacred, or of fear, as evidenced by such names as "Ring of the Gods" and "Circle of Darkness". |
