In the Stargate setting, many gates are inexplicably left alone in the wilderness, but enough stand in towns or buildings. Faux Egyptian temples, a museum or two, the Atlantis control room, and of course Earth buried theirs in Cheyenne Mountain. My idea was to design TL8 vehicles around one ton empty weight with a multi-section hull, which break down into a dozen parts for transport. A bit like what SG-1 could have had if they hadn't insisted infantry patrols. If required, the sections can be hauled through a building and reassembled outside. And a flyer with sufficiently advanced technology, to challenge the players. It can probably smash through most walls.
