The Replicators are a fictional alien breed from the television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
BackgroundThe replicators are a "race" of robots that only have a goal to propagate themselves. For this purpose, they pack and use all the materials and knowledge they can find on their path. Everything they know and experience is shared by all other replicators. Species
There are several types of replicator types. The most important are: Milky Way Replicators
These originate in an android that had only the personality of a toddler. It made the first replicators as toys, but lost control over it. It is unknown how these replicators came into the asgard galaxy. They consist of small cubes of approximately 3x4x1cm, which coincide with the different subspecies and what they need, including ships, tables, etc.
The Milky Way Replicators recognize the following subspecies: Atlantis-replicators
At Atlantis, a second type of replicator exists, which is completely independent of the already mentioned Milky Way Replicators, made by the Ancients (olds) to solve the deficit in numbers versus the wraith. They were left for destruction by them but rebuilt their planet. They consist of nanoparticles, and only in "human form". Ships, buildings, and all other things are just genuine materials from these replicators. Their technique and ships are identical to those of the Ancients (olds). Initially, their programming knew certain blockades, but after Rodney McKay was messing up, these replicators are able to customize their own programming at some points.
