What is the origin of Stargate SG-1?
The last few seasons of the show follow the rise and fall of an intergalactic religion called Origin, which was created by a race of ascended beings called the Ori in an effort to enslave all non-ascended beings and increase their own power. To bridge the gap between the Ori and humans, the Ori create the Orici, who is a genetically advanced human who has all of the knowledge of the Ori. There are many parallels that can be drawn between the Orici and the heroes of many different myths.
How did the Ori get their power?
The idea that the Ori got their power from the followers of their religion was very interesting. This plot device really shows the power that myth can have over a culture. Any myth or belief system is only as powerful as the people who believe in it. A myth on its own can have no intrinsic power, unless people are willing to live their lives by its rules and die in its name. Without followers, a myth is just a story. For a religion to truly become powerful, it needs followers who truly believe in its mythology.
Who captured Adria in Stargate?
Adria is eventually defeated, however. She was captured by Ba’al, one of the last remaining Goa’uld System Lords in power (the Goa’uld were the first “bad guys” of the Stargate SG-1 series. They are a race of parasites who take human hosts. Like the Ori, they were “false Gods.”). Ba’al implants her with a clone of his symbiote to create an even more powerful version of himself. Because Goa’uld symbiotes possess all the knowledge of the Goa’uld and their host, and because the Orici has all the knowledge of the Ori, The Goa’uld with the Orici as a host would be the most powerful being in the galaxy. Though the Ori and the Goa’uld are both evil, this possession by the Goa’uld could be a metaphor for the quest that the hero of myths must undergo (Leeming 219). The cloned Ba’al symbiote is the Orici’s “inner monster” that must be overcome before she can die and be “reborn” (Stargate SG-1).

She had a miraculous birth, went on a quest to fight her “inner monsters,” and eventually experienced apotheosis. Even though the viewer knows that she is evil, her followers see her as the human embodiment of all that is good.
Does the Goa’uld symbiote kill the Orici?
The Goa’uld symbiote is eventually removed, but the procedure almost kills the Orici. As she is dying, she ascends to be reborn into the higher plane of existence, much like the phenomenon of apotheosis in myths (Leeming 220). The rest of the Ori had already been destroyed, leaving the Orici the only one remaining. Because she is the only one left, all of the power of the Ori now belongs to her, making her the most powerful being in the universe (Stargate SG-1).

Why are the Ancients stronger than the Ori?
Though the Ancients were always more powerful than the Ori, due to the greater numbers of worshippers the gap was getting smaller. More and more Ancients, including Morgan Le Fay were becoming worried. Dr. Daniel Jackson suspected that it is because of this difference in strength that the Ancients were able to prevent the Ori from gaining the knowledge that the Milky Way galaxy was populated, and possibly knowledge about the Pegasus galaxy as well. Though they disagree with the philosophy and goals of the Ori, the Ancients will not intercede in the free will of lower species, nor will they prevent "unbelievers" from converting to follow the Ori. If unbelievers don’t convert, the Ori will destroy large numbers of the unbelievers – although the Ancients do not seem to prevent this due to their fierce belief in free will. ( SG1: " Origin ", " Prototype ")
How did the Ori convert to Origin?
In 2006, the Ori managed to establish a link between their home galaxy and the Milky Way through a Supergate, and sent four nearly invincible motherships to begin the conversion process.

The Ori army though continued unabated, annihilating the Milky Way while converting many civilizations to Origin and destroying those who refuse to convert. The crusade is led by Adria the Orici, an Ori in human form, so as to prevent the Ancients from stopping them. ( SG1: " Camelot ", " Flesh and Blood ", " Morpheus ", " The Pegasus Project ", " Counterstrike ")
Why was Ori technology created?
Ori technology ranges from the biological to the mechanical, and most, if not all, of their technology is created and used for the purpose of gathering worshipers in order to increase their own power by demonstrating godlike power.

Since they and the Ancients were one race, it is safe to say their technology would be identical to what the Ancients left behind in the Milky Way galaxy.
What did Morgan Le Fay do to Adria?

What was the purpose of Origin?
The entire purpose of Origin was a lie, as the Ori did not actually offer enlightenment. This was just a pretense to ensure the worship of lesser beings. This created a transfer of energy from the worshiper to the Ori. Only by having beings believe and worship in them could the Ori thrive, feeding off this energy field. When a believer died they were not taken to live among their gods, but instead unceremoniously winked out of existence. The Priors were not made aware of this truth, and most were so programmed in Origin that they were hopelessly lost.
