Gate Interface And Other Odds And Ends

The gate interface mentioned in the gate chapter. Is it a physical thing gatecrashers have to attach or software they use to interpret the symbols on the "growth"? Mention of no sentient life found, what about non sentient? Lot's of precautions taken when new gate is opened. Has anything dangerous come through in the past? Threats on exoplanets? Have to wait for gatecrashing book?

Yes, the gate interface is a computer device that translates code into the necessary data format to cause reactions from the Pandora gates. The technology is far advanced, and it took assistance from the Prometheans to even figure out a means so quickly. As for exoplanet life, yes non-sentient life has been discovered. Echo IV is home to a complex system of biospheres that people have compared to an Earthly paradise. Mishipizheu I is a life-rich water planet. The planet Bluewood is so named for its eponymous trees, which threaten to overgrow its colony. While Nótt has no known life, over a dozen explorers have disappeared into its icy wastes, and the rest speak of feeling like they are being stalked by something. Read all about it on pages 109-111.

I picture Echo like a Na'vi-less, Hallelujah Montains deprived Pandora (from the movie not the gate!), personnally question: how does the immediate zone around the P-Gates look like, in SOL? has it been set up like Cheyenne Montaine or Site Alpha of Stargate SG1 fame? Or is it still in guarded wilderness?

Re: Gate Interface And Other Odds And Ends

I think the drawing in the book depict the discovery of the gate I believe it's eiter Fissure Gate or Discord Gate shown there, because of the ice. I think that since then, a base has been building around the Gate, with pressurized and secured facility for boarding and customs, logistics, administration There's enough work to do around the gates to requieres a decent level of personnel and a small settlement around it A good exemple would be Icarus base, shown in the pilot of Stargate Universe
