The Stargate Program 

Earth’s Stargate (SG) Program began when a Stargate was unearthed in Egypt in 1928. The device was brought to the United States in 1939 to keep it out of Nazi hands and was installed deep beneath Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. 

When it was discovered that there were grave threats in the Universe, in the form of the Goa’uld System Lords, the United States established Stargate Command, under the command of General Hammond. Nine teams, known as Stargate teams (SG 1-9) were initially created to travel through the Gate to assess threats, open negotiations with other civilizations and procure technology to defend Earth. 

As the SG teams went on missions, contact was made with several intelligent races as well as distant Earth descendants, which were under the control or influence of the Goa’uld. These team visits were many times a spark that lit the freedom fighting spirits of those worlds. 

Stargate Phoenix 

As more and more refugees from alien worlds began to rise up, a classified site, authorized by the President and headed up by General P.K. Loyer, was created. Its mission is to establish an off-world Stargate site called Phoenix Site, which brings together and trains the freedom fighting individuals from worlds oppressed by the Goa’uld System Lords. 

Once trained, these highly functional SG teams are sent on missions with the defense of the Universe in mind.
