New SciFi Quiz

[enigma]

Hello all, as my last attempt at hosting a quiz didn’t do so well (a little difficult and probably too much in one go), I thought I’d give it another go.

This time I have chosen different Sci-Fi topics for the questions, hopefully attracting a bit more interest.
If you do attempt the quiz please put your answers on a reply post and I will check them approx every 24hrs giving you the heads up on how many of the questions you got right (7 out of 10 etc).

Well it's the 29 Aug 05:

OK, the answers to the quiz are as follows; just in case someone out there gave it a go! ;D

1. Battlestars Pacifica, Triton, and Acropolis :
Fleet lost at the Peace Conference. One ship was Count Baltar's own. Referenced in background radio chatter in the original pilot episodes ("...battlestars Atlantia and Acropolis losing speed..", "...no response from the Triton and the Pacifica")

2. Dr Evazan was wanted in 12 star systems.

3. The youngest serving crew member was Kez. She was a member of the Ocampa who live for 7 years and was 2 when she joined Voyager.

4. The name of the first System Lord shown on Stargate was Ra, encountered in the film starring Kurt Russel and James Spader.

5. The Battle of Serenity took place in the valley of Serinity on the planet Herra.

6. In ‘Severed Dreams’ the Earth Alliance Ship destroyed defending Babylon 5 was The EAS Churchill, Captained by Sandra Hiroshi. The Agamemnon was Sheridans old ship, in which he led the attack to re-take Earth later in the series.

7. The Vedrans from Tarn Vedra created the Commonwealth using the Slipstream.

8. TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.

9. The ship carrying Blake and its destination was the Civil Administration Ship "London" and penal colony "Cygnus Alpha".

10. The Sixteenth Rygel in a line of Dominars, Rygel was once the ruler of over 600 billion subjects in the Hynerian Empire.

Ummm, well I guess that's it, bye ;D

D'oh, I was thinking Evazan was wanted in thirteen star systems. Oh well. And I thought the O'Campa lived for nine years?

And wasn't Ra the 'big boss' of his own empire? I was thinking the snake-headed guy from the series was a 'System Lord'. But I only ever got into the movie, not the series.

[enigma]

Yep, it was 9 years not 7.;D

The info below was taken from:

www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/characters/r/ra.shtml

Ra
Ra, the deceased sun god of Abydos, represented Earth's first exposure to the Goa'uld. Originally one of the most powerful and influential of the Goa'uld System Lords, Ra was responsible for finding humans on Earth (the "Tau'ri") and discovering that the Goa'uld could use them as hosts, maintaining their bodies indefinitely with their advanced technology. Ra stumbled upon the planet Earth thousands of years ago, and took an aboriginal boy as his host.

Ra is believed to be one of the aliens responsible for taking humans from Earth and seeding them all across the galaxy. These human colonies worship the Goa'uld as gods, serve as slave labor (such as on Abydos, where the people mined naquadah for Ra) and have no idea that their true origins lie on Earth.

As a powerful System Lord, Ra's enemies were many. He was mortal enemies with Apophis, his brother in ancient Egyptian mythology.


Apophis
An evil Goa'uld System Lord, once SG-1's arch enemy. He is the brother and mortal enemy of Ra, the sun god. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Apophis is the serpent, the god of the night and of death, and is in constant struggle with the god of the day.

Apophis invaded Earth and Abydos in search of Goa'uld hosts shortly after the humans destroyed Ra. Apophis took Sha're, Daniel Jackson's wife, and Skaara -- Sha're's brother and friend to Colonel O'Neill. Sha're became host to Amonet, Apophis's queen, while Skaara became host to Klorel, Apophis's son.
;D

Ahhh, now I see. I guess it makes sense that the aliens had a heirarchy set up before Ra discovered how to take human hosts.

they would have had to or they would all have killed each other--LOl good quiz when is the next?

[enigma]

To be honest, I hadn't given it a thought. As the tumbleweed indicates, it was a bit of a ghost town scenario with the last quiz.

However, I am a persistant person (or stubborn if you ask my wife! ), and I have no doubt that I will post another quiz when I next have leave (at end of October).

If anyone has any ideas for subjects etc, that will make for a more enjoyable quiz, please share them.

I will probably give the next one 2 weeks before posting the answers as well. ;D

[LadyTass2001]

Idea's for subjects hm with everything to chose from you would think that would be easy huh? LOL lets see what about Dune? or Star Trek--Lots of little trivia for that one--but then that is just to much trivia, so how about Le Femme Nikita? or Xena? or Hercules? even
