This lead to the accident with Earnest Littlefield, after which it was packed up and kept in storage in a munitions dump in Washington DC until the events 2 years prior to the movie.The events in the later half of season 1 uncover the antarctic gate.The NID begins using the Anatarctic stargate in covert gate missions until uncovered after the Touchstone was stolen from an alien world. At this point a non-opening titanium cover was welded a micron from the event horizon, functioning like an iris. Arctic gate is out of commission.Jack and his crew board the Beliskner to aid Thor with the Replicators. Because Thor's off-ship transporter was damaged, Carter teleported the stargate from the SGC to the Beliskner, relying on the (Previously unknown) fact that after being disconnected, Stargates retain enough power for one dial-out. Egypt gate vanishes from earth.The Beliskner is destroyed, crashing into the Ocean. The Egyptian stargate was on board, and survived the re-entry. Hammond orders the Arctic gate un-sealed and brought to the SGC, where it takes over as the primary Earth stargate. At the same time the arctic gate is being unsealed (A period of a couple weeks), a russian naval vessel recovers the Egyptian stargate from the wreckage of the Beliskner. This becomes the "Russian Stargate". I don't remember Earth ever having one of it's stargates destroyed, but if so, that wouldn't be a major problem... Now that Earth posesses an FTL-capable ship, they could simply travel to an uninhabited world they have visited, or to one of the worlds where the inhabitants have burried the stargate willingly, and fetch the gate from there and bring it to earth... We learn the the gates seem to be very "plug and play" ready in the episode in season 4 when the Tok'ra are planning to do basicly the same thing with their own stargate to move to a different planet, and from the fact that Daniel was able to use Earth as a point of reference with the Stargate aboard Apophis's ship in the first episode of season 2.</blockquote>
