Converting Stargate to SWSE

[Blackrat]

I have decided that I'd like to run a game of Stargate to my group. But I dislike the SG rpg rules and would like to run it using the SWSE rules. Now what I would like from my fellow ENWorlders is just some suggestions and opinions on how this might work, and any ideas you might have. Obviously I need to drop everything force-related and convert equipment.

Anyways, anyone notice how the Jaffa are already suffering from bad Stormtrooper syndrome? I mean they are supposed to be elite soldiers but rarely even hit anything. And are generally taken down by one burst. So I was thinking that it would fit well to just use the stormtrooper from SWSE to repsresent the normal Jaffa. Now first primes are another thing altogether...

I would use the stormtroopers for Jaffa. Keep in mind, the main characters are very high level at this point. The Jaffa -- especially back in the old days -- were VERY efficient at mowing down civilians and other SG-teams. It was only SG-1 that was immune to incoming fire.

I wouldn't throw out the Force completely -- just modify it for the super-tech. All the super-advanced technology seems to require certain requirements. Some Gou'ld stuff (sp?) required advanced knowledge from a symbiote, most of the Azgard tech can only be used by advanced humans, and let's not even get into the magic powers of the Ori's servants or the special "Ancient Gene". And some of the Wraith-tech requires partial Wraith-blood if you like Atlantis.

The skills change a little, but the biggest stumbling block will be the races.

And an "Ascendant" PrC, perhaps?
