An Ori energy beam weapon is the central weapon on an Ori warship.

OverviewEdit

The central beam weapon of an Ori warship was an extremely powerful weapon that discharged fiery blasts from a central dish located at the front of the vessel. The beam fired by this weapon was capable of destroying a Ha'tak with a single strike, piercing its shield and ripping through the vessel without losing a significant portion of its power. The Ha'taks were completely useless against Ori warships; fleets of them could not even slow down a single Ori Ship. The Asgard shields on Daedalus-class vessels were far more resistant to the weapon's blasts (due to their far superior technology), but multiple strikes would deplete the shield and eventually destroy the vessel (the Tau'ri was later gifted with even more powerful shields of Asgard design). The beam weapon usually took a few seconds between firings to recharge.(SG1: "Camelot", "Counterstrike")

During the early stages of the Ori crusade, this beam weapon was arguably the most powerful ship-mounted energy weapon ever encountered until the development of the Asgard plasma beam weapon, which proved to be equal to the Ori beam weapon in effectiveness, if not greater, although not as destructive. (SG1: "Unending")

The only known downside of the Ori beam weapon was that it caused the shields of an Ori warship to fluctuate whenever it was fired, allowing external Transportation rings to connect to a Transportation rings aboard an Ori warship and vice versa. (SG1: "Flesh and Blood")

ControlEdit

The central beam weapon was controlled by a Prior, who does not have to be seated in the control chair to operate the weapon. As a result, it is believed that the beam weapon is controlled via the Prior's staff. (SG1: "Line in the Sand")
