I created this map to appeal to my fellow Stargate fans... so far, nothing is terribly accurate about it (hey, it's Forge on Sandbox, not 3DS Max)

At the end of season 8 of SG-1, Teal'c decided the Jaffa Rebellion had to do something desperate if they were to stand any chance. They had to capture the sacred temple on the planet Dakara! Now, you too can join in the adventure. As the Al'kesh arrives over the compound, ring down with your guns blazing. Your zats and staffs are augmented with some Earth weapons.

Not all attackers spawn in the Al'kesh, some spawn in the SGC. The defenders have the security of the temple compund, spawning on the battle ground, while the attackers must gate or ring into the arena. For balance, the attackers have access to Earth weapons and have the fire support of the Al'kesh above the compound.

Of course, there is presently no way to get to the Dakara Weapon, as that was introduced slightly later in the story.

The attackers must take the flag from the base of the stargate to the back of the temple courtyard in order to win. 3 rounds, one capture per round. All players have plasma pistol and no shields, flag carriers are more resistant to damage.
