Embarkation room

The Embarkation Room, also known as the Gate Room, is an area on Level 28 in Stargate Command. The room is where the Earth Stargate is being held. It is so called the Embarkation Room, for the purpose of SG teams to embark on missions to other planets. However, it also serves as the Disembarkation Room, for SG teams to arrive back on Earth.

The room used to be situated on the bottom of a missile silo, as there is a missile tube leading up to the open surface, so the Stargate could makes its way in, or out of the room.

Since it is the location of the Stargate, the room would be the first to be under attack from alien incursions, particularly from the Goa'uld, Jaffa, Ori and even the Wraith on one occasion. Everytime a gate is dialled, a large platoon of guards would train their weapons, in case of any uninvited guests. The guards are usually dispatched if there are unscheduled offworld activations, or if SG teams are coming in hot.
