Zerg in the Stargateverse

[Nephtys]

Hey, look! A semantics whore who doesn't realize "regardless of intevening terrain" implies it requires terrain to go through!

Oh looky a semantic cunt who doesn't realize terrain just implies distance, regardless!
Let me look it up for you:

re·gard·less
In spite of everything; anyway: continues to work regardless.

It is an organic structure; perhaps it could differentiate between the different units, and adjust swallowing strength accordingly?

...process of its operation is also a mystery.

Funny how you got this far.

I do believe the key words is 'intervening'. Indicating that it needs terrain, it just doesn't care what kind is in between.

That would be really hard on the individual zerg units, though, particularly over long (dozens or hundreds of miles) distance. You'd end up with a lot of squished zerglings.

Hundreds of miles?

In Zerg fanboy land, that is perfectly acceptable. Especially as these magic scphinter caverns can extend through interstellar space.

At least I never said they were anything other than underground organic tunnels. "Hundreds of miles" may be a bit of an overestimate, but they've got to be able to cover at least a decent amount of distance, considering they connect separate bases (and would be pretty pointless if the distances they covered could simply be run in five minutes).
