The gate is dialed. Welcome to The Gate Room.
This is our home base: a community that organizes in the open, keeps an honest record, and is building the gate network we are fighting to bring back. If you have just arrived from GateWorld, Discord, or the #SaveStargate campaign, this thread is your starting point.
The Star Map is live
We built a full 3D holographic star map of the gate network. Open it here: https://thegateroom.com/starmap-solar.html
- 251 canon worlds plotted across three separate galaxies: Milky Way, Pegasus, and the Destiny path in the distant Universe region.
- Real glyph addresses for every world, computed from its position, with stellar drift over time.
- Cinematic gate travel: dial a world and ride the wormhole through a real event horizon and kawoosh.
- Destiny FTL travel by manual plotting, a star-drive hyperspace mode, and a third-person ship jump.
- A working bridge view with two modes: Destiny (amber) and the new Lantean Aurora bridge (blue).
- Destiny drifts forward continuously along its pre-programmed course, the way the show always implied.
Try dialing a few classics: [world:Abydos], [world:Chulak], [world:Atlantis], and far out on the seed-ship course, [world:Destiny].
Changelog (what just shipped)
- 3D star map with the full canon world set, gate travel, FTL, hyperspace, and the Aurora bridge.
- Forum faction system: choose your allegiance and your gate-script name ring activates.
- Codex citations: type a world in square brackets like [world:Sangraal] and it expands into an address chip.
- Personal gate address on every profile, computed from your designation.
- Live #SaveStargate campaign banner on the forum home, reading from the signature feed.
- Per-topic gate icons driven by series tags (sg1, sga, sgu), and locked topics raise an Atlantis shield.
- The Decisions board on the main site, seeded with the real open questions facing the revival.
On the work list
- Onboarding track: a short Traveller's Intake quest for new arrivals.
- World unlocks: be the first to post about a world and light it up on the star map.
- Codex citation cards with richer detail and inline star-map previews.
- The Aurora bridge gets full Lantean interfaces; more ships join the bridge roster.
- Decision widgets embedded in forum threads, so "we agreed on X" always links to the record.
- Discord bridge: cross-post key topics and reflect forum ranks back into the server.
