:''This article provides a list of most fictional technology made use of in the television shows '' Stargate SG-1 '' and '' Stargate Atlantis ''. Each race also has a main list with greater detail and completeness. Throughout the Stargate Science-fiction Cosmos , a number of technologically advanced races and societies have produced a variety of highly advanced weapons, tools, and spacecraft. Whilst it would seem implausible that they are all generally designed to for the ease of use of a human, the explanation is simple. Many of these societies are the descendants of humans who were carted across the galaxy as slaves thousands of years ago by the evil race called the Goa'uld . Other than these human civilizations, the Ancients (or Alterans), the most technologically advanced race known throughout many galaxies, are in fact the predecessors of humans (which they've termed their "second evolution"), accounting again for their designs being based around the human form (e.g. the snug size of a Puddle Jumper ). By liaising with these races and learning from them, Earth too has begun to create its own futuristic technology. All such technology is SCI-classified top secret, and is used solely by the SGC and its SG Teams , or in Atlantis . TAU'RI TECHNOLOGY See Also: Tau'ri technology The Tau'ri , commonly known as '''humans''' of Earth, have developed many technologies based on what SG Teams have brought back from trips to other planets via the use of the Stargate on Earth. Whilst Earth's level of technology prior even to Stargate travel far supersedes the level found on most planets throughout the galaxy (and indeed others), Earth's technology still remains crude compared to the larger races that they do not surpass. However with the exploration of the Ancient city, Atlantis, and with the Asgard giving all their technology and knowledge to them before their destruction, Earth's technology will leap forward in the future possibly rivalling that of the Ancients and the Asgard . Spacecraft After five or more years of researching alien technologies discovered on offworld missions, along with billions of dollars of work, several prototype models, and several failures, Earth was eventually able to construct its first glider vessel based on alien technology. That was the X-301, an Earth/Alien hybrid (chiefly because of its Goa'uld Deathglider components), that ultimately failed, because of its alien components. After the failed flight tests, the Air Force decided to attempt to build an all human built craft, with components based upon what they learned from alien tech, rather than actually integrating alien technology into it. This was the F-302, a small 2-man space-faring ship much like a highly advanced MiG or F-22 Raptor . F-302s are now the standard Dogfighting attacker used by the military in the Stargate Program. It was not long before Earth too was able to create its first (and for a long time, only) interstellar battlecruiser, the ''Prometheus''. Whilst the F-302 is generally sufficient to successfully challenge its alien equivalent, the ''Prometheus'' was still far inferior to the highest class of battlecruiser owned by most other prominent races in the galaxy. Later, with the assistance of the Asgard , Earth was able to create a more advanced class of ship, the Daedalus-class Deep Space Carrier.
