Talk:Battle of Icarus Base

From SGCommand

I wonder why they didn't just use their Asgard plasma beam weapons to destroy those Ha'tak.—Tau'ri 21300 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 00:04, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Like I said in some post somewhere: Maybe they didn't have any. The Hammond is a relatively new ship, maybe it's not battle ready yet. Whatever was the case, the fact is, the three Ha'taks blew up the planet and everyone was forced to retreat or evacuate. My only question is why the Ha'taks knew enough about the Icarus project/planet to attack it, but didn't anticipate that by firing at it, the planet would explode, resulting in their own deaths.

Maybe the ships weren't destroyed. Somehow I can foresee another event like when the sun exploded and sent all those ha'taks to the replicator galaxy - or maybe they were on remote control so no-one died. As for the beams, maybe they don't work on Goa'uld ships, or maybe the LA took them out before they could raise shields, or maybe there was a spy on board who disabled them.
