Some City-ships, such as Atlantis, contain their own Stargates, located near the top of the central tower so that it may be easily accessed by Puddle Jumpers. ( SGA: " Rising", " The Storm", " Adrift") As evidenced by Atlantis, City-ships are inherently buoyant, capable of floating on the surface of a large body of water without any apparent technological aid they can also rest on the bottom of an ocean, though again the shield is needed to prevent flooding. As they are typically powered by three Zero Point Modules, the shields are exceptionally powerful, withstanding days of constant enemy fire with just one ZPM though probably as a result of this, the hull itself is quite fragile. Their hulls are not airtight, requiring the use of a shield to maintain atmosphere. " Look, the city, as you know, is just a giant spaceship." ― Rodney McKay Ī City-ship's design much more closely resembles that of a modern city than a spacecraft with systems and living quarters distributed throughout several towers that extend away from the drive system while in flight, the top of a City-ship would be considered the "front".Ī city-ship floating on the surface of an ocean.Īll known City-ships are capable of planetary landing and indeed, they do not seem to have been designed primarily to function in space.
