Even though the Ori themselves are Ascended Beings, they have developed powerful technology to advance their purposes in the corporeal plane.

| Although the Priors of the Ori are advanced humans with great powers, they still use a piece of technology to demonstrate their power. It appears that the blue orb at the top of the staff is actuated by the Prior's mind and enhances his powers on a larger scale. The Priors have used their staffs to resurrect the dead (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.05 "The Powers That Be"), to cure illness with a healing wave of energy (9.05 "The Powers That Be"), to interface with Ancient technology (9.03 "Origin Part 3"), and to send out a large repelling energy burst (9.06 "Beachhead"). | |
| The ring transporter is of Ancient design and the Ori's Priors use it in the Ancient's original home galaxy. The rings in this galaxy operate the same, but they are made of a material which is white, while the ones found in the Milky Way Galaxy are black. The ring transporter was used by a Prior of the Ori to transport Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran to the City of the Gods on the Plains of Celestis in the Ori's home galaxy.

| The power needed to generate a force field to envelop an entire planet was first provided by some means through the Stargate on the victim planet. Then, with the energy obtained through the use of a naquadah-enhanced nuclear weapon, called a "Gatebuster", and other energy weapons, the energy field grew and eventually caused the planet to collapse upon itself, leaving the singularity of a black hole in its place. The means of generating the initial force field through the Stargate was not revealed, but it was powerful enough to maintain an open wormhole for two days, something a ZPM cannot do, and create the initial version of the force field. (9.06 "Beachhead") | |
| The largest Stargate seen was built by the Ori in the Milky Way Galaxy with individual segments (measuring approximately 10 meters long) which linked together. The segments were sent individually through a regular Stargate. The Super Stargate was meant to be the receiving end of a wormhole created through a black hole, both of which had twins in the Ori's home galaxy. The Super Stargate measured approximately 400 meters across and was designed to permit spaceships through. It was destroyed by substituting a cargo ship as one of the segments and causing the energy to surge, ultimately making the ring unstable when the singularity was formed nearby. (9.06 "Beachhead") |
