SG1 and DS9 would be a weird crossover.
You have the humans of the enlightened future meeting a team of military personnel from the past, lead by a man who tries to avoid enlightenment whenever possible. He'd probably end up in Quark's playing darts.
Carter is going to immediately frustrate any attempts to limit damage to the timeline (not that it makes sense given that they'd have to be from a parallel reality) or invoke the prime directive. She's going to be full of questions, and she knows enough about advanced alien technology that she'll probably be able to figure out more than they'd want just from observation. She'd also probably figure out how to use the wormhole to get back home, being something of an expert on the topic.
Daniel is going to have the unique experience of being an archeologist that is now a relic of the past. Not much for him to do as a linguist since they have universal translators, though it would be funny if they brought it up and he thought they had all just been speaking English, since everyone in their galaxy does for some reason. It'd also be funny for him to be recognized by the prophets or Q, as though they knew him from his brief period as a vorlon or whatever.
I think Dax and Teal'c would hit it off, they have so much in common.
And things would get very confusing if someone activated an emh.
Also probably for the best that the Atlantis team isn't there, as O'Brien would have some awkward questions to answer. Besides, they're already too busy crossing over with Enterprise and answering their own awkward questions about Tripp.
Oh, and I really hope Jellico is visiting the station.
I would watch deep stargate 9
I think you downloaded the wrong stargate
Sure. Let's throw a Greg Evigan in there and then sink the whole thing in the ocean.
The Prime Directive wouldn't even apply. The Tau'ri have been properly FTL capable ever since they started producing the F-302 in what, the year 2000? As much as Starfleet would hate it, SG1 represents a humanity that is wearing the big boy pants just like they are.
If we aren't being strict about warp technology specifically as the measuring stick, I think the gate network itself would qualify, even if they weren't the ones that built it.
That said, the principle of noninterference likely should apply to some extent at least. After all the trash talking they've done over the years about people in the 20th/21st century, it would be crazy to let a military unit from that era get access to anything that might help them advance technologically. Especially when they've already got a history of capturing and reverse engineering alien technology. And all the more so when it becomes clear that any technology they do get their hands on will be used almost exclusively for the purpose of fighting alien civilizations (and perhaps even others on their own planet).
In the long run, if a stargate found it's way onto DS9 or Bajor and permanent relations were established, I could see the federation providing aid to the Tau'ri to help them fend off the Goa'uld and/or the Ori, which they could justify because they would be preventing an advanced civilization from exploiting a technologically inferior one. But I have to think it would take them a while to get to that point.
Then again the SGC has a policy of sharing supplies and rendering humanitarian aid when they can afford to but not sharing military equipment unless they really think it's for the better. Starfleet should give them at least some credit for that; it's remarkably close to common Starfleet practice.
In the end, though, it really demonstrates how the Prime Directive is a flawed measuring stick and always has been. People like the Klingons (hyper-aggressive), the Ferengi (hyper-capitalists who bought their way into space), and the Cardassians (space Nazis) are cool but the Tau'ri are sketchy because they bring guns when they explore space.
I'm pretty sure O'Neill would be happy to comment on how Starfleet and their equipment sure look military from the outside even if they bring civilians on their combat-ready vessels equipped with weapons of mass destruction. And how his humanity didn't nuke itself. Well, except those Genii guys but they don't count. Different humanity.
By the time the Ori have been dealt with, the Tau'ri have been outright declared the worthy successors of two of the most advanced civilizations their galaxy had ever seen. And each of those civilizations had lasted for millions of years so it's not like it's power-hungry psychos giving each other pats on the back. That still doesn't change Starfleet's point about their cultural advancement but makes it that much harder to cleanly argue.
It's like they were made to turn the usual Federation talking points into complicated messes.
(On the other hand they can only hope the Federation never hears about how many solar systems they managed to destroy, usually by accident. Now that's a good reason not to trust them with advanced technology.)
