Stargate Atlantis Quiz – Ancient Technology and the Wraith

Stargate Atlantis aired from 2004 to 2009 as a spin-off of Stargate SG-1. An expedition led by Dr. Elizabeth Weir travels through the Stargate to the lost city of Atlantis in the Pegasus galaxy.

The city was built by the Ancients and runs on Zero Point Modules. People with the ATA gene, like John Sheppard, can operate Ancient technology, while scientist Rodney McKay keeps it working.

The team, including Teyla and Ronon, faces the Wraith, who feed on human life force, and the robotic Asurans. Puddle jumpers carry them through the gate, and Atlantis can even fly as a city-ship. In the finale it lands in the ocean near San Francisco.
