Atlantis' Stargate

The stargate in the city of Atlantis is controlled by theTau'ri. In most respects it is similar to most Pegasus gates. Unlike other gates in Pegasus however it is the only known Stargate in the galaxy with the ability to dial eight chevron, allowing it to reach other galaxies. The Atlantis gate also has a Stargate shield, which is similar to the iris on the earth gate, at SGC.
