 Atlantis' Ancient Control Chair used by Sheppard. In the fictional television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, the Ancient Control Chair is an Ancient control device which functions as a mental interface for those with the Ancient gene. [1] The chair has been encountered on various Ancient outposts.

Function
 Drones being launched from Atlantis. Control Chairs are mostly responsible for defense. All the control chairs thusfar encountered were used for launching Ancient Drone Weapons at enemy targets. The number of drones available can only be checked when the chair is powered up. [2] However, Aurora-class battleships do not use control chairs to fire drones.

The chair can also interface with holographic systems, allowing the user to project maps into the air [4], display information gathered by the sensors [5], cross-referencing information in the user's memory with existing information in the database, or even compensating maps for continental drift. [4] They can also be used to control Puddle Jumpers remotely. [2] This however is not a designed function and controlling the drones of the Jumper is used to help fly the ship. The concept of continental drift was first proposed by Alfred Wegener. ...

The Chair is normally powered by a Zero Point Module, although the members of the Atlantis Expedition have been succesfull in powering the device with a Mark II Naqahdah reactor in "controlled overload", which provides just enough energy to activate the chair.

Mental Interface The chair is controled directly by the user's thoughts. The device is hard to operate, and requires a considerable amount of concentration for most users. However, some people, like John Sheppard, can operate the unit intuitively, even without much practice. [1] Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard is an Air Force officer played by Joe Flanigan in the television series Stargate Atlantis. ...
Not only concentration is instrumental in controling the device. The chair, as a lot of Ancient technology, requires the user to have the ATA gene, originally only found in Ancients. However, due to crossbreeding between Ancients who fled back to Earth and humans, several members of the Atlantis Expedition have the gene. [1] Also, using gene therapy, the gene can be transferred to "ordinary" humans.

More recent Ancient outposts, such as the research base on the Dorandan homeworld, did not contain a control chair, indicating that by the Ancient retreat to Earth, the chair might have been replaced by more efficient control systems. [7]
Ori Chair The Ori, being essentially the same race as the Ancients, also use control chairs to operate their battlecruisers. However, instead of requiring an ordinary human with the ATA Gene, this chair has to be operated by a prior, and is propably keyed to their unique brain physiology. It has been demonstrated however that the Orici Adria, a human form Ori, can also control the vessel and thus use the chair.
