The Battle of Kallana: Creating the Supergate Beachhead
Kallana was the Ori’s first attempt to create a permanent intergalactic beachhead in the Milky Way. A Prior arrived through the planet’s Stargate and activated a device that generated an expanding force field, absorbing attacks and converting surrounding matter into the structure needed for a much larger gate. This episode reconstructs Stargate Command’s effort to stop the process, the failure of conventional bombardment, and the discovery that the Ori intended to collapse the planet into a black hole capable of powering a Supergate. The defenders faced a weaponized engineering project rather than a conventional army. Every attack fed energy into the field, while the expanding barrier consumed the world it occupied. Vala used a cargo ship in a desperate attempt to disrupt the forming ring and disappeared when the plan succeeded only partially. Kallana delayed the invasion but did not eliminate the concept. The Ori had demonstrated how to turn an entire planet into the logistical foundation of a crusade. Visit ImaginedBattlefield.com for more military and science fiction.
