Stargate Atlantis - The Battle for Atlants

10,000 Years ago the Siege of Atlantis Lasted Decades with the Wraith superior in numbers and they kept coming at the Ancients until they decided to submerge the city and make it lost to the Wraith. Its present day and the Wraith have just awakened from hibernation and are now in search of their new feeding ground - Earth. But to get there they have to overpower the human controlled Atlantis.

[@AnonimatosTM]

Still doesn't make much sense, a Siege only works if your enemy as no way to run. They still had a fully functional stargate, the only one capable of intergalactic travel. The Wraith only had 3 ZPMs according to Tod, they would get depleted eventually, while lanteans had the capability to create more. Why not leave a defensive team on Atlantis, return to the gate, rebuild a fleet and return after the Wraith punch themselves against the city.

[@joshualiu7673]

@@AnonimatosTM while it was the only gate that was intergalactic, the location of earth was in the database. since the lantean database was regenerative and even one small piece could allow for full database retrieval and they could not escape back to earth since all 3 zpms were depleted, they originally planned to deploy a virus and destroy Atlantis until earth sent reinforcements with a zpm they found [sg1 moebius] and sent en route on the dedaleus.. so they had to defend a city with no shields and no lantean technology. Defeating the wraith was nigh impossible for the lanteans due to the size of the wraith numbers. The siege was against 1 hive ship and they barely held their own and dedaleus destroyed 3 and long range sensors picked up another 12 iirc. [Spoilers] It was bad enough that the vanir [s5] thought it easier to use a device that destroyed active Stargates to stop the wraith from using hyperspace and the asurans, self replicating humanoid wardens, made by the lanteans though it easier and more efficient to kill all the humans rather than fight the wraith. And they had hundreds of lantean ships

The Vanir had problems with the Wraith and were seriously outmatched (even one Traveler ship could beat four of theirs no problem), so presumably, the Vanir tried to use beaming tech against the Wraith, so the Wraith would have had to find a way to jam attempts to beam. When the Tau'ri first tried using it, they didn't expect it, so it was pretty effective, but the Wraith figured out what was going on after the third attempt, and put an end to that.

[@cgi2002]

Thats why you launch the missiles first, let them get upto speed, them beam them in as close as you can when they are already travelling fairly quickly. There is then a possibility that the wraiths point defence won't hit them before they hit the ship. Alternatively you can just play it really mean, strap a few to the outside of jumpers and cloak, have the jumper fly into the hive, drop the nuke, fly out, the detonate, rinse and repeat, ideally using as many jumpers as you can so that there is limited time for the hives to notice whats going on.

Nukes in space are like depth charges in the sea. Unless you get a direct hit, you'll barely scratch the paint.

[@cgi2002]

@@ThePathStrider that's actually not really true. Depth charges vs submarines are fatal at a considerable distance, as it's the pressure wave that inflicts the damage by causing a rapid pressure shift which damages water tight seals which are generally poor at dealing with rapid preasure shifts.

[@eraldorh]

If a zpm would be delpleted from all of that within days then how do the wrath weapons not run out of energy under a constant bombardment or even overheat.

[@sananaryon4061]

The Atlantis Shield requires an incredible amount of energy to maintain constant bombardment, but is also the most powerful shield known to tau'ri. The wraith are far from that advanced, and their weapons is barely able to scratch the surface of the shield. Therefore, they don't require nearly as much energy to use. To pose a threat to atlantis, all known wraith ships need to maintain constant bombardment, Besides, when one ship goes out of juice,they can just send in another

[@eraldorh]

August Giæver They would have to out put as much energy as a zpm can produce in order to drain it. Simple physics. This also doesnt explain how those weapons dont overheat, how they never run out of energy or why the ancients considered wrath weapons to be extremely powerful and formidible. Given this basic knowledge of physics it makes me wonder how the wrath ever defeated the ancients considering they were able to produce zpms like we do AA batterys and of course that thw wrath weapons are energy weapons and would have to put out an equal amount of energy to deplete the shields and thereby the zpms.

[@sananaryon4061]

eraldorh Strength in numbers. The wraith vastly outnumber the ancients, even their shield can't hold too long against constant bombardment from a thousand ships. They can hold long, sure, but not forever

[@CaptnBeardy]

Because pretty much all wraith tech is organic I'm sure they manage to get around overheating through some sort of biological process which you could also apply to how they produce power. Maybe through some weird wraith version of photosynthesis they convert one type of energy into another then fire it out of the ships as the energy weapons.....kinda how some animals fire venom or stingers. While they did have treated numbers by the time the ancients had fallen back to Atlantis they had no way to produce ships or extra weapons but they could produce zpm's so they had infinite shields....they only reason the war stopped was because they couldn't find a way out so they sank the city and wanked off to earth.

[@CaptnBeardy]

Also if you look at the little hologram Shepard shows the colonel in the teaching room thingy the amount of ships in orbit which were pretty much firing continuously would have put out roughly the amount of power a zpm uses or something close... it's just the ancients could make more faster than the wraith could deplete.

+David Smith At this point of the show (video above) the Stargate Program did not have beam technology at the time. Furthermore, in reference to what you are talking about with Asuran ships being decimated by beam weapons, this was part of (another)the replicator arc, which saw a planet of Asuran replicators attacking human settlements in an attempt to wipe out the Wraith. With that being said, the Wraith and Earth humans teamed up to double whammy the replicator ships using guerrilla tactics, eventually leading to a war with the replicators involving 3 different factions (Earth humans/wraith/traveler humans). This was also the point after the mass genocide of the Asgard race and after humanity had accumulated far more ZPM's to power their ships.
