Seed ship From The Stargate Omnipedia One of an undetermined number of advanced, presumably unmanned ships launched by the Ancients ahead of the exploratory vessel Destiny. The Flight Path of Destiny and the Seed Ships. The information provided from the show says that the Ancients sent out the Seed Ships and Destiny followed 2,000 or so years later. Now as the universe is massive and expanding continually, I wonder how Destiny's flight plan is determined.
This could mean that the seed ships placed the first model of stargate in every galaxy between the Ancients/Ori galaxy and the Galaxy the Destiny is in. Then followed after the seed ships at a later date replacing the seed ship gates when they got to a new galaxy.

The ships automatically manufacture and deposit them on suitable planets they encounter as they move from galaxy to galaxy. They also record sensor data on the planets and solar systems.once deceived the Destiny crew by claiming that he had accessed a subspace communication link between Destiny and the seed ships, accessing huge amounts of sensor data transmitted back to it.
While the he claimed to have found about a year ahead in Destiny's path was discovered to be a ruse, it is not known if the subspace link and sensor data itself is real.Destiny eventually did encounter and dock with one of the vessels, allowing a team to go aboard. They found a massive store of power reserves and tried to use it to dial the Stargate back to Earth, but were stopped by a group of who have taken up residence on board. Destiny also received a download of data from the ship.The ships are substantially smaller in size than Destiny. Like Destiny, they are millions of years old. It is not known how far ahead of Destiny they are traveling - whether only weeks or months, or decades or even centuries.DETAILSUSED BY:FIRST APPEARED:KEY EPISODES- Rush claims to have accessed a subspace communication link between Destiny and the seed ships, but Eli sooner discovers it is a total fabrication.- Destiny comes upon a seed ship and boards it, only to find a group of aliens on board.- Having repaired the derelict seed ship previously encountered by Destiny, Telford and the Ursini come to Destiny's rescue when the ship is attacked by automated drones.
Extra-galactic exploratory vessel launched from several hundreds of thousands of years ago, prior to when many Ancients began to focus on. The ship became home to a reluctant crew from after they discovered how to access it using the ninth.Destiny (translated from its Ancient name) was designed to be a follow-up craft to numerous which preceded it in the universe. These automated ships were sent out to gather data, resources, manufacture Stargates and deposit them on habitable worlds.
Thus there may be hundreds to thousands of isolated Stargate networks in the universe.Destiny possesses knowledge on the composition and resources of these worlds to aid the crew in retrieving the necessary supplies. All that is necessary are the proper queries to the database.The ship appears to be the reason the Ancients built Stargates with nine chevrons. According to what is presently known, only one nine-glyph combination is capable of connecting to the ship (like a telephone number). This makes sense, as the Destiny is always traveling through the universe and cannot be pinpointed by an designed to seek out a specific point in three-dimensional space.When the ship recognizes it is being contacted, Destiny drops out of its faster-than-light propulsion to allow the to connect. Destiny prepares to refuel.The ship possesses at least two for short-range missions, but one is severely damaged.

When stopping in range of a Stargate network the ship allots a specific number of hours to investigate the worlds in range.Converted solar energy powers Destiny's systems. When low on fuel, the ship drops out of and pilots itself into a star, where energy collectors absorb the radiation.
Despite this efficiency in design, Destiny is long past her expected operating lifespan, and her energy retention capacity is down to approximately 40 percent. This is believed to be insufficient for dialing a back to Earth.risked the lives of more than 80 officers and visitors of to connect to the Destiny rather than return to Earth. Eventually he discovered the nature of the ship's original mission: the Ancients planned to use the ship to uncover the mystery of a pattern hidden in the universe's cosmic background radiation, possibly indicating a higher intelligence that predates the universe as we know it.DETAILSUSED BY:FIRST APPEARED:BEHIND THE SCENESArtist James C.D.
