It's weird to me that the Wraith would visit that planet and leave all of the Ancient satellites intact. But, did the Wraith visit that planet at all...? Because I don't remember that being mentioned. I remember Zelenka mentioning that some of the worlds in the game developed nicely alone, and some were destroyed or culled by Wraith, which brings me to the second question of the evening... If the Wraith culled worlds monitored by Ancients, why did they left those satellites intact...? Because if they were still emitting information, they were still there... Could it be because they didn't detect them? Perhaps, but there is a puzzle: how come, they had stargates on the planet's orbit.

The blonde chick (whose name I can't remember) said that their world had be culled by the wraith. Maybe their didn't know what they were, and since they weren't bothering the wraith, there was no point in wasting time with them...?
