And you know this as a fact because?

Because that's pretty much what the Tollen characters who appeared in the series said.

No, they said they don't give technology to less advanced cultures (after the first time ended a civilization). They said nothing about offworld colonies, diplomacy with other advanced races or exploration. Like all the other species and races on the series, we don't know much at all (with the possible exception of the Tok'ra).

Ya, but they also didn't mention any off world colonies when they were being destroyed. Everything we saw and where told says that they had no colonies. Sure, the writers could bring them back but I don't see that happneing.

Yes, and they said they were pulling back, and withdrawing from any outposts and most other contact they had with the outside. That doesn't sound much like a race that is planting (or keeping) colonies.

Actually, they did. They said they were pulling back from exploring and abandoning their colonies. And didn't know of any advanced races worthy to deal with.

Um, the goa'uld are basically defeated and the Asgard are still rebuilding or whatever after that small replicator problem they had. Plus we don't know the true power of the Wraith, we have only seen them in little bits here and there.

you think they'd have an advantage over the milky way like they did in pegasus? ... numbers? ... the goa'uld are still around, they just don't have the same power projection they had anymore (but I get yer point).

Another thing to look at, can their Hive Ships make it to our Galaxy, or would they need to use the Stargate? If they have to invade through the Stargate, then they will pose no threat as they would blow the mountain first and with a buries Stargate they could not come through to Earth. Of course I guess there is a chance the Wraith could dial another Stargate in our Galaxy and move in that way. But then they'd have to have to get the resources to build their Hiveships and other large vehicles.

Also, aren't the Asgard technically off in their own galaxy?

Ya, but they seem to take a great interest in ours

I think in last week's episode, it's said that the Wraith would need Atlantis itself. Apparently the city is also a starship capable of intergalactic travel.

 

[Crothian]

I thought they needed Atlantis for the information on where the feeding ground (earth) would be.
