The Spacebattles.com thread for this idea.
Around mid-Season Two (between Bane and The Tok'ra, Part 1), SG-1 is sent out in a tel'tak (stolen from some System Lord, when they were cut off from the 'Gate) to survey Saturn's moon, Mimas, which is the only large moon in the Sol system not found on the Goa'uld astrogational chart discovered by J. Random Archaeologist. When they get there, their scans determine that its no moon, its a space station!
A space station covered in a few thousand years of rocks and dust. It contains a few hundred million droids (shut down to conserve power), a few million mummified corpses, about a million TIE fighters (mostly TIE/lns), and assorted other Imperial spacecraft, up to a single Executor-class SSD. There's also a Jedi Holocron in the station commander's office that responds to O'Neill, but insists he's to old to begin training.
This Death Star has internal manufacturing systems, drydocks, et cetra, and they'll be able to get a few of the shuttles working fairly quickly. It arrived in the SG-verse due to a hyperdrive malfunction that killed the crew.
Given the rather large crew requirements in comparison to Stargate-verse spacecraft, the SGC will almost certainly need some form of disclosure to the public, to get any real use out of these ships.
The Spacebattles.com versus debate thread this is taken from can be found here, and the B5 version is here, if you'd rather write that one.
So, any takers?
