Background Story

We, the people of the Earth called the Tau'ri, have risen up and taken our rightful place among the stars. We were once thought to be destined to become the great fifth race in the next thousand years or so. As time would have it, we didn't have over five years of peace, before fate took over. The great interstellar war has raged for over a century now. Billions of life forms wiped from existence. We are now the last line of defense for all life in the known universe.

We have learned much from all corners of our reach. We have meet hundreds of races, some of which are our allies and friends. Others we have met have not been so hospitable and have banded with our foes. The Jaffa Nation has risen from the ashes of what once was the Goa'uld empire. Their rise has been turbulent to say the least. There are rumors of internal strife and talk of renegade Goa'uld still with in their ranks. They are a people that, for the moment, we consider allies, but as with any alliance, it can fail. Their fleets are great and number in the hundreds if not thousands! Our intelligence indicates their fleets are comprised of Ha'tak ships, as well as Anubis class ships. The Anubis class is of particular concern as they are a mighty warship capable of attacking ships, planets, and star base's with ease.

One of the most powerful enemies of life itself, the Wraith, now have the means of interstellar hyperspace. Their initial invasion forces were massive and the battles took many ships and people from both sides. The Wraith had defeated the Ancients, however, they were not prepared for humanity's perseverance and determination to defend life and live. We now know that they have access to a number of ZPMs and are using them. We fear that they have built yet another cloning facility somewhere in the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies. We have also detected several massive Wraith vessels on approach from Pegasus and our intelligence suggests that they are powered by zero point modules. We are preparing our defenses and making plans as best we can.

When we were at our weakest moment, another enemy emerged before us, the Lucian Alliance. They took advantage of our forces being spread so thin among the stars and have taken many bases and systems. They are a ruthless people that only seek to conquer and destroy. They massacre anyone or anything that gets in there way!

The Asurans once thought to be totally destroyed have reemerged from hiding. We are on a routine patrol mission when we stumbled upon them. We had discovered a massive planet the size of Jupiter swarming with nanite life. The Asurans once thought to be entirely wiped from existence are now back with a vengeance. They are hell bent on destroying all of carbon based life. Their single goal and directive is to destroy anything and everything the Ancients had created. They have managed to take several worlds and destroy and ravaged countless others. We are engaged in diplomatic discussions with other races to help coordinate a counter assault. Our intel suggests that they have built a Lantian class city ship as well as the Antues class which is capable of destroying our star bases.

It has been some time since we had last encountered the rogue Asgard of the Pegasus Galaxy, the Vanir. We knew it would be only a matter of time. With the Wraith busy fighting us on many fronts, the Asgard attacked. Their initial invasion fleets were massive with every major class of Asgard vessel. We had hoped that we may be able to form an alliance with them, however, they are different breed of Asgard. They do not seek peace, knowledge or friendship. Instead they seek to only better there genetic code at any means necessary. We were ill prepared for the opening salvos that started the war with them. We did manage to destroy a large number of their fleets, however, they were able to form a strategic beachhead and take several worlds.

We will fight on!
