*** THERE IS A STAMP IN THE CACHE, IT IS NOT A TRADE ITEM ***
*** SMALL CONTAINER, BRING YOUR OWN PEN OR STAMP***
IF PROBLEM FOUND WITH CACHE, SUCH AS:
*MISSING/FULL LOG
*DAMAGED CONTAINER
*MISSING STAMP
PLEASE SUBMIT A "NEEDS MAINTENANCE" LOG.
DO NOT REPLACE LOG SHEETS, CONTAINERS, OR ADD PLASTIC BAGGIES.
I use waterproof log sheets. They should be useable even if wet, just pat dry before signing & replacing.
This cache is a small peanut butter jar, camouflaged to blend in. Should fit smaller travel bugs or geocoins just fine. Please hide back as found, and cover up well to prevent muggling.
Destiny - Stargate Universe
Extragalactic Ancient exploratory vessel launched from Earth several hundred thousand years ago, prior to when many Ancients began to focus on ascension. The ship became home to a reluctant crew from Earth after they discovered how to access it using the Stargate's ninth chevron.
Destiny, translated from its Ancient name, was designed to be a follow-up craft to numerous seeder ships which preceded it in the universe. These other 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.
Destiny 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 address 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 (F.T.L.) propulsion to allow the wormhole to connect.
Destiny's course is currently unalterable. It possesses at least two shuttles 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. This too is unalterable.
Converted solar energy powers Destiny's systems. When low on fuel, the ship drops out of F.T.L. 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 wormhole back to Earth.
Away teams not back aboard the ship by the time she re-enters F.T.L. become stranded, as most planets do not possess the massive power requirements to re-dial the ship.
