Overview

Ori

Though originally Human in appearance, the Ori themselves have long ago changed ascended into a higher plane of existence and have become beings of energy. As such, they are not present within the corporeal plane unless they manifest themselves. When they choose to do this, they appear in the Flames of Enlightenment as a wall of flame or as strands of fire in the air. They are also capable of forming a demonic looking face made of fire. When the Ori themselves wish to communicate with their followers; a member of their kind possesses the Doci who's eyes glow bright red and speaks in a echoing voice.Unlike the Alteras, the Ori had a religious view on Ascension and believed that they were gods and thus should be worshipped.

The Ori are capable of influencing the world around while within their ascended forms, this can be seen in their impregnation of Vala Mal Doran with a child. The full capabilties of the Ori are however not known or demonstrated due to the interference of the Ancients though presumably they are capable of the same abilities as the ascended Ancients.

Another appearance by the Ori can be seen in their creation of the Orici Adria who is the closest to the Ori themselves in the form of flesh and blood. Such a living corporeal vessels contained the knowledge of the Ori that is limited due to the constraints on the Human brain.

They inherited the home galaxy after chasing away the Altera after which they ascended. Lording over their realm, the Ori recreated Human life in the galaxy and taught their subjects that the Ori were their gods and creators. Some of their followers are evolved into a higher stage of Human evolution known as Priors who are led by the Doci. These psionic individuals command great power from telepathy to create bio-genetic plagues. They are also fiercly loyal to the Ori and ensure the masses submit to their rule.

Tactics

After discovering Human life within the Milky Way galaxy was shielded by the ascended Ancients, the Ori began the steps to form a mighty crusade to convert the Humans of that galaxy. This started with the creation of starships and training of large armies that would spread the word of Origin across the stars. To pave the way for this coming army, the Priors were dispatched through the Stargate to multiple worlds to convert the populations to Origin while resistance was ruthlessly destroyed.

The second stage involved in the Ori's crusade was the construction of a Supergate which would allow the transportation of starships into the Milky Way. This is largely believed to be because the Ori Home Galaxy is too far for intergalactic travel to be feasible in an invasion.

Technology

To aid in rapid deployment between galaxies, their technology allowed for a much larger version of a Stargate known as a Supergate which created a wormhole large enough for starships.
