Stargate Quiz 25
#1. What causes the disappearance of the SG team’s UAV on PXY-887?
What causes the disappearance of the SG team’s UAV on PXY‑887?
Correct Answer: A spirit entity destroys it
Shortly after the SG team arrives, they deploy a UAV to conduct a surface survey. The drone is intercepted and destroyed mid-flight by a mysterious force. This event serves as the first warning that they are not alone on the planet and that the inhabitants (or guardians) of the planet have the ability to manifest and strike at technology they deem intrusive.
The destruction of the UAV is not merely a random attack; it is a defensive act intended to force the SG team to reconsider their presence. The “spirits” demonstrate advanced capabilities that the team initially cannot explain, setting the stage for the tension between Earth’s military objectives and the protective nature of the entities residing on the planet.

“Stargate – Quiz 25” invites fans back into the atmospheric mystery of Season 2, Episode 13: “Spirits,” an adventure that blends exploration, diplomacy, and the deeper mythology that shaped early SG‑1 storytelling.
