The Orii were once believed to be apart of the same race as the Ancients - the Alterans - whom were left behind when the Ancients left their home galaxy after a difference of opinion split the once united race in two.
After their split from the Ancients eons ago, the Orii eventually learnt to ascend on their own, creating the Origin religion & Human life in their galaxy (similar to how the Ancients re-seeded the Milkyway with life after the Plague swept through it); taking on the guise of gods & demanding worship from those on the lower planes of existence.
Since the S.G.C.'s intial enothingyer with the Orii in mid 2005 A.D. & their subsiquent invasion of our galaxy, the Orii have demonstrated a remarkably high level of technological advancement; providing their followers with Ascended knowledge to build weapons & other various technologies with which to conquer the known universe & convert all other 'non-believers' to the Origin faith.
Their weapons & shield technology is particularly impressive; their weapons capable of even penetrating the impressive & highly effective Asgard shields of ships like the Promethues & the Odysessy, cutting through their Asgard-enhanced shields like a knife through hot butter.
Goa'uuld-based shield technology fars considerably worse against advanced Orii weaponry - particularly the main omni-directional beam weapons used by Orii motherships - a single shot from such a weapon totally obliterating a Hat'tak-class mothership & reducing it to a floating wreck of space debris in a matter of seconds.
Orii shield technology is also considerably advanced, capable of sustaining direct fire from multiple angles & from a great many sources : during the Battle of P3Y-229 the four Orii mothership which had emerged from the Supergate from the orii's home galaxy were assailed by a combined fleet of Earth & her allies -including Earth Daedalus-class battlecruisers, Ha'tak-class Goa'uuld motherships & Al'kesh bombers from the Free Jaffa nation/Tok'Ra/Lucian Alliance & an Asgard science vessel - holding their ground & retaliating with lethal force; decimating the Milkyway armadea in a matter of mintues.
Their fightercraft - angular in design & sporting weapons similar to those found on their motherships, & are also equiped with the formiable Orii shield technology - are highly manuverable & come equiped with dorsal flaps for controlled controlled deceleration (which may also be used for greater control of the ship in tight combat). Their defenses are more than comparable to Al'kesh, & a typical death glider is no match for the craft.
Suffice to say that Orii technology far exceeds & outstrips anything thusfar encountered by Earth & it's allies, although Orii miitary technology has yet to be tested against that of the Ancients : when this does occur, it will likely be a true test of the Orii's technological prowess, as the two extremely technologically-advanced races go to head-to-head in a battle of technological superiority. . .

Orii Transporter Technology[/u]
Based on the same ring design as Ancient & Goa’uuld transporter technology, Orii transporter rings are silver in colour, & etched with beautiful designs depicting words, symbols & phrases of the Origin faith.
Orii Staff Weapon[/u]
Similar in design & functionality to the Jaffa Staff Weapon, the Orii Staff weapon resembles an elegant pitchfork in design; crafted to resembled the symbol of Origin, the faith of the true Gods, the Orii.
Orii Staff Weapons are powered by a small blue crystal, roughly an inch long & one centermetre in diameter, located near top of the staff, just under the base of the energy arc inbetween the firing end of the staff & the trigger; similar to the small liquid naqaud power cell of the staff weapon used by the Jaffa, Tok'Ra & Goa'uuld. It is unknown how long the power source for either Orri Staff Weapons or their stunners last; although it is assumed they would eventually need to be replaced on a semi-regular basis, given general use & wear-&-tear.
Smaller, compact versions of the Orii Staff Weapon are believed to exit, built into the right gantlet of Orii armor - similar in design & look to Orii stunners, but more deadly - although this has yet to be proven in combat.
Orii Stunner[/u]
Built into the gantlet of the left hand of the armour worn by Orii foot soldiers; this gantlet, when activated, resembles the symbol of the Origin faith with light blue, translucent crystals emerging over the top in a peaked, or steeped formation.
The device is activated by clenching the left hand into a fist, & is de-activated by opening the hand into a flat palm; whereby the crystals retract & the top two arcs of the Origin sybmol slide back into their protective housing. The stunner is fired by pointing in the direction of the intended target & squeezing the fist in order to pressure on an activation plate hidden in the under layers of the gantlet; triggering a burst of sparkling blue energy which is emitted from the device at lightning speed.
Like the Goa’uuld zat’nik’tel, one shot from the device stuns an intended victim on contact. It is unsure how many shots from an Orii stunner it would take to kill an individual; although it has been theorized that it is possible, if not probable.
Ring Platfrom, Orii[/u]
Octagonal in shape & similar in design & purpose to ring platforms used by the Goa'uuld, Jaffa, Tok'Ra & the Ancients, Orii ring platforms allow the deployment & movement of Orii foot soliders, weapons & material. Mobile ring platforms can be manuvered into place using an Orii fightercraft; the ring platform clamped to the underside of the craft, the pilot depositing the ring platform in strategic locations on worlds in the process of being conquered & converted to Origin. The rings on an Orii ring platform are inscribed with runes & words of the Orii faith, & number five (5) in total; & are also installed on all Orii motherships for movement between ships & ship-to-surface transport.
ENERGY WEAPON, Orii[/u]
Similar in look & effect to the stuttered bursts of energy used by Hat’tak-class vessels, Orii energy weapons are capable of firing small, rapid bursts of energy to attack in-comming enemy vessels from multiple angles - such as smaller fighter craft - whilst their omni-directional main weapons array is sued to destroy larger enemy vessels & captial ships that may stand against them. Not as powerful as their main wepaons array, these smaller bursts of directed weapons fire are none the less leathal; capable of ripping through most forms of shielding within minutes.
Supergate, The[/u]
A massive Stargate developed by the Orii, spanning three to four hundred meters across. Comprised of 80 individual segments, the device draws its power from a black hole, the only force in the universe strong enough to sustain it indefinitely.
The Supergate was developed for the specific purpose of establishing permanent footholds in distant locations in the universe, permitting one-way passage of enormous Ori ships.
The only known defense against a Supergate is to break the chain of connecting segments, causing a power surge that prevents the completion of the device.
LASER WEAPON, Orii[/u]
An Orii mothership’s primary weapon, Orii energy weapons & shield have proven to be amongst the most powerful – if not the most powerful - & advanced military technology used of any star-fairing race.
Capable of ripping through a Ha'tak-class vessel's shield like a knife through hot butter - destroying the vessel in one hit - Orii laser weapons can penetrate all but Ancient shielding (this has yet to be tested in acutal combat conditions), with only Ancient drone weapons capable of compairing to their fire-power.
Asgard shields fare slight better than those of other races, with the latest enhancements in Asgard shields technology enabling ships equiped with them ot stand up to six (6) shots from an Orii mothership's main weapons array before succumbing to heavy damage & risking total destruction of the ship in question.
SHIELDS; Orii[/u]
White in colour when visible to the naked eye, Orii shield technology is the most advanced in the known universe - bare possibly Ancient shield technology - & can withstand anything that is thrown at it : including direct impact by a Hat'tak-class mothership. The only acceptions to this are Ancient drone weapons, the unstable vortex of a forming wormhole (such as the establishment of an incomming by the Supergate, as an example) & the latest in Asgard-developed laser beams; which are specifically designed to pierce enemy shields by causing random fluctations in the frequency of an enemy's shields.
Asgard laser beams are possibly the only form of conventional offensive weaponry readily & easily available to Earth & her allies which can take on & destroy an Orii mothership - usually within six (6) to eight (8) shots if powered by a ZPM - provided, of course, the vessel in question facing off against an Orii mothership can last that long. . .
Power Device, Orii[/u]
Similar in design to the
Mothership, Orii[/u]
Massive Ori star craft capable of ferrying throngs of Ori warriors & their families into territories occupied by nonbelievers. Its power source is not known. Activation is required by a Prior.
The warship's primary weapon, a parabolic indentation at the forward section of the craft, launches bursts of energy very similar to that of Ori satellite technology. These are fully capable of destroying Goa'uld Ha'tak-class motherships with a single shot. Smaller, "pulse" weapons can fire from the ship at any side. Enough of these can also destroy a Goa'uld mothership.
Propulsion appears to be achieved via a ringed device which occupies the aft section of the craft. Powerful Ori shields protect the ship from virtually all known forms of weaponry.
Living quarters appear to be located at the fore section, above the weapons array. The existence of a mess hall & brig (holding cells) is yet to be determined, but is a probability, if not a possibility.
BRIDGE
The command center of the vessel, the bridge is maintained and flown by a Prior. At the center of the room sits a chair, not unlike the command interface which operates Ancient defenses in Antarctica & Atlantis. The port side of the room includes numerous panels, as well as hardware which is compatible enough with Ancient hardware to be interfaced with Earth computers. The Orici herself is able to fly the ship remotely in the event the Prior becomes incapacitated.
ENGINE CORE
Little is known regarding the propulsion behind Ori technology. However, a core was discovered which appears to be responsible for the crafts ability to motivate itself. It is likely the technology possesses similar traits to Ancient ships such as their city ships, or ancient warships.
As proven during their brief incursion into the Ida Galaxy at the Battle of Orilla, Orii motherships are capable of inter-galactic travel; just as Earth & Asgard ships are. The massive distance between the Alterran & Milkyway Galaxies still requires that the Orii travel between their home galaxy & the Milkyway; as this journey would otherwise take untold years, perhaps even centuries, if conducted in the 'traditional' manner by conventional means of hyperspace travel.
ORICI CHAMBERS
At the very front of the ship is a room reserved exclusively for the Orici. Here she slumbers, is served her meals, & is tended to by servants. An observation portal lies at the forward section of her chambers, where she may look out onto the planet on which the craft has landed, and to issue commands to her subordinates. It is possible all Ori warships possess the same chamber for the Orici. Since Adria's defeat at the hands of the Ascended Ancient Morgan Le Faye, these chambers are now reserved for Priors, officers of high rank &/or import & VIP guests.
CHAPEL
Each Ori warship contains at least one chapel for ceremonial purposes such as Prostration. A large, bound copy of the Book of Origin sits upon a great altar at the center of this room. The chapel is likely secondary to the mission objectives of the Orici and her soldiers, who likely forgo Prostration in the event a battle or ground assault is ordered.
PERSONNEL CHAMBERS
Living space is provided for all personnel aboard Ori warships. Married couples are allowed to reside together. Single soldiers may possess only bunks & live in crew barracks, though this is not known.
PERSONNEL CHAMBERS
Fighter, Orii[/u]
Small assault ship deployed from a ventral bay on Ori warships. They are equipped with Ori shielding, & weapons similar to the "pulse" firepower their mother ships possess.
Ori fighters are small, dart-shaped, and highly manoeuvrable. They possess dorsal flaps for controlled deceleration (which may also be used for greater control of the ship in tight combat). Their defenses are more than comparable to Al'kesh. A typical death glider is no match for the craft.
