Replicators? Look here for info on the Devouring Horde!

Ok! Finally I am onto the great and powerful replicators, nigh on alll conquering machines, these beasties basically met very little technology that could ever truly defeat them, however that small amount that did was decisive!

Here is the 101 on the horde of ravaging machines! Good luck reading, its no short ordeal!

----~----


Basic Aetiology/Physical Attributes
The Replicators come in many forms, but are created from two standardised sources. The replicator blocks, or small nanite sized machine cells.

The main replicator horde, and standard drone is made from replicator blocks, which are about an inch in length and 2/3 inch in width (maybe 1/4 inch in thickness).

Some replicator blocks.

These blocks can link together using magnetism and other forces to form larger constructs, from small cat sized drones to house sized metallic behemoths.

The most commonly seen shape of replicator documented by the Tauri and System Lords.

Even in this basic form, the replicators can form many shapes and work most if not any machinery, altering the block patters to suit its need.

The human form replicators, made from the small nanite sized machine parts are literally as they sound, in human form, modelled after their ultimate creators, the Ancients. These forms could take any shape or any person, but could also use their nanite sized cells to pass through small gaps and alter machines and other things in the guise of a telekinetic (technokinetic :wink:) ability.

First, the first (lol) human form created by the second generation of replicators. (the first generation having remained in the Pegasus Galaxy, and also having nothing to do with the second, save their makers..)

The replicators, surprisingly replicate, buy one drone becoming a queen and using metal to create new blocks, which jump together to form new drones. It is unknown of how the drones create the cell sized machines to make human forms, but it is speculated that a queen can make them in much the same way, only, obvious cutting the size down. The replicators can use any metal to replicate, however they prefer to use trinium, and the smaller cells can only be made from trinium.

They take the colour of the metal used to make their blocks. The replicators are cold and logical only seeking out advanced technology and resources to replicate. They have no care for organic or any other form of life. The first generation did however like to emulate the ancients, and some even sought out the path to ascension, alas never truly succeeding.

----~----


Replicator History
The First Generation of replicators were created by the Ancients during their war with the wraith in the Pegasus galaxy about 8,000BC.

However, their desired purpose (to wipe out the wraith) was not fully met, and fearing their ultimate potential and viewing them as a failed experiment, the ancients wiped the first generation of replicators out to a few cells. They later named themselves the Asurans.

Over the eaons they rebuilt, and without the Lanteans left in Pegasus, the Asurans flourished, but spent most of their time developing ways to ascend and prove to their creators they were more than a failed experiment.

The first generation was not the only attempt though. In Avalon, an ancient scientist created a working model of an android. A humanoid that had all the general features of an ancient, but was ultimately a machine. 'Reese' as she was called, was a childish being though, created to emulate and replace the ancients lost child and she became the downfall of her ancient colony. To protect the machine he had come to love, the ancient scientist shut her down and locked her away, leaving the replicator horde to devestate their world.

Replying to the call for aid, an Asgard vessel came, but upon seeing the destruction attempted to escape. The replicators took control of the ship, and began replicating and producing more vessels until they left Avalon and headed towards the Asgard home galaxy, knowing the ancients would surely find a way to obliterate them long before they could claim victory should they stay.

After a fierce battle on the void, the first wave of the second generation of replicators was all but destroyed. However, some survived.

Thousands of years passed, and about 5000 BC, the replicators returned and began to wage their war upon the Asgard once more. This time however though, the discovered a Gli colony, fearing the power of the Gli, the replicators used caution and fled.

With the battle in the ida galaxy raging, and their cousins in Pegasus resting, the second generation were all that remained.

Not for long though... SG-1 discovered and awakened Reese, some 8000 years after she was locked away., but nothing had changed. She was quickly revealed as the danger she truly was, and SG-1 killed her, shooting her down.

The replicators cared not though. There parent was dead, but victory against the Asgard was assured. Within a matter of weeks, the Asgard home world was taken, but the clever xenos' had set a trap. The replicators were trapped in a time dilation field.

Unfortinately for the Asgard, the replicators had reached a peak in their tehcnological evolution and the first human form had been born, allowing them to alter the time Dilation device creating exponential growth. Once again though, SG-1 thwarted the metal beast's and they were trapped, soon on the edge of a black hole created by the Asgard.

The replicators escaped, and finally the falled human form, 5th used his brothers and sisters to begin a new campaign. It was short lived though and the replicators retreated, until 5th was killed in a small skirmish, and his copy of Major Carter took over.

A few months passed, and then the replicators returned with the full fury of thousands of years of evolution, growth and fighting others. They launched a full scale assault on the the System Lords and Avalon. It was only at the last moment, when ultimate victory was in rech, that the weapon on Dakara, the one weapon capable of stopping the replicator onslaught, was activated and used to wipe them from the Galaxy. The second wave of replicators were destroyed.

However, the first wave remained in the Pegasus, until the Atlantis expedition disturbed them. Fearing the technology on Atlantis, though to have been destroyed by the Asurans, they launched several attacks, and even began to threaten earth itself. Dr Rodney McKay reactivated the replicators attack command, resulting in a new galaxy wide war with the wraith, but the replicators began eradicating the wraiths food source, in an attempt to starve them out of the war - humans.

The humans, notably those on Atlantis from earth, struck back and eventually won after a few serious casualties. This resulted in the complete destruction of the Asuran home world by Rodney McKay, Samantha Carter (pivotal in the second generations defeat too.. ahh sam your the best!) and F.R.A.N. (Friendly replicator android).

A hand full of replicators remained seeking ascension, and partly succeeded, managing to move their consciousness into sub space. They worked under the once human from earth and leader of the Atlantis expedition, now machine, Elizabeth Weir.

She tricked them though, knowing their threat was too much, and finally they were lost in the vastness of space. So this ends the existence of the replicators!

Replicator Society
The replicators had a society by which the oldest was the more powerful, and ergo the one you would be taking orders off!

The human forms could embrace culture and even show some of the most advanced human emotions and character attributes, but the replicators were ultimately cold, calculating and machinery!

The drones were literally that. Drone.. they desired nothing but replication and technology with no capacity for culture. They were generally ruled by a queen, or a human form.

Replicator Technology
The replicators had a varied range and shape of tehcnology. In a general sense, each drone could produce acid, was immune to conventional energy attacks and could survive under water or in space, depending on what material it was replicated from.. (ooo...)

Human form replicators could form many forms of stabbing or mundane weaponry from their cell sized blocks.

A group of replicator blocks, could general be fired at any structure and negate shields to infect the enemy ship with drones that would then replicate and take the ship over.

The replicators of generation two, made ships out of blocks in two forms.

The first generation of replicators however used ancient class vessels such as the Aurora class, and an updated and larger version of the puddle jumper.

Oberoth
Oberoth was the first ever replicator. He was malevolent, and all controlling of the replicators. He embodied the entire position the replicators had within the ancients arsenal. A role of hatred and ultimate destruction of the wraith.

Oberoth mercilessly hunted down the Atlantis expedition whenever he could to destroy the favoured children of his creators, but eventually he died along with the rest of his kin during the attack of the Asuran home world by an allied wraith-human fleet.

5th and Repli Carter
Replicator 5th, was the 5th replicator of human form created by the second generation. He had a lot more human emotions and feelings than the rest of his kind, an experiment created by first. However, he was viewed as a failure, and ultimate SG-1 used this against him to activate the TDD.

When he escaped, he was so in love, so infatuated by Samantha carter, he kidnapped her and made a replicator, human form, copy of her, who eventually went on to destroy him and led the all out attack on the Milky Way galaxy. She was destroyed by her human self, Major Sam Carter when she activated the Weapon on Dakara with her father Jacob Carter (Selmac).

So there you have it! Now for the tauri and a general compendium and stuff on the other races! woo.. lol. the 101 on the replicators!

I note here, that a nanito master is a replicator who has successfully impregnated their consciouness into a organic being and then ascended. It can be done.. freaky..
