THE STARGATE OMNIPEDIA
crystal tunnels CRYSTAL TUNNELS
Tunnels by which the Tok'ra conceal themselves underground. When Tok'ra arrive at a new base they immediately move beneath the surface, forming tunnels with special crystals. For the time being as the tunnels are formed, no life support is needed, as oxygen is produced as a byproduct of the construction -- if the crystals are used with the proper types of stone.

Different sizes and shapes of crystals produce different stretches of tunnel -- some long and straight, some leading upward or downward, some opening up rooms.

The tunnels are also capable of deconstructing themselves by command. The deconstruction process is particularly hazardous.
