Planet Atlantis | The planet where Atlantis, the lost city of the Ancients, slumbered underwater for many thousands of years following the Ancients' devestating war with the Wraith. The war led to a Wraith assault on the planet -- which was the center of Ancient activity in the Pegasus Galaxy.Not long after the arrival of the Atlantis expedition from Earth, the city's power reached critical lows and an automated mechanism rose the city to the surface to prevent its destruction -- though it left the city vulnerable to attack from above.A large portion of the planet's surface is water, and the raised city now sits as an island amidst a great ocean. Near the city -- only 25 minutes away by Puddle Jumper -- is a large continent. After it was discovered, the Athosian refugees in Atlantis decided to resettle there, in order to start a new life in relative safety from the Wraith. They are still able to communicate with the city, where the planet's Stargate is located.
Lieutenant Aiden Ford has suggested the name "Atlantica" for the planet. HOME TO - Ancients, Atlantis expedition | Planet Gemii Home World | Planet in the Pegasus Galaxy, home to the Genii. Before the great awakening of the Wraith, there was a gap of decades between cullings. The Genii have used this precious time to develop their nuclear technology in concealed bunkers beneath the planet surface. It is here where the bunkers prevent numerous frequencies, including radio, from escaping. But the bunkers do not prevent the emissions of generators, which power their vast underground network, from escaping. If a culling is predicted before the Wraith achieve orbit, these generators can be deactivated in time before the Wraith can detect them, only putting the people on the surface at risk.The Genii Stargate is a short walk from their surface village.HOME TO - Genii | Planet Asuras | World designated by the Ancients to be the location where the developing Asuran race were allowed to thrive, following their explosion in evolutionary development. It is not known if the planet was originally the Ancient outpost where they were conceived, or if they were later moved from Atlantis for safety reasons. When the Ancients chose to abandon the project from which the Asurans came, they sent several warships to Asuras to completely destroy the colony (which had become a thriving city). But several nanites survived and managed to resurrect the city. Ten thousand years later, it is a bustling metropolis far grander than anything the Ancients ever created -- all based around a complete copy of Atlantis.The only reference to Asuras was their address, stored in a database within an Ancient outpost in the Pegasus Galaxy. HOME TO - Asurans | Planet Athos | Homeworld of the Athosians, a small agrarian population. Athos was routinely under siege by Wraith culling parties until John Sheppard evacuated Teyla's village to Atlantis for safe harbor following a Wraith attack.The Athosians regard the Ancients -- who likely first seeded their world with human life -- as "the ancestors," and they play an important role in Athosian religious beliefs.Not far from the Athosians' village is an ancient city which appears to possess more advanced technology than that which the Athosians retain in their nomadic village. Colonel Marshall Sumner and his team from Earth was unable to explore it before the Wraith attacked. Several kilometers from the village lies a hidden chamber where Teyla believes her decedents once hid from the Wraith. It is covered in writings and images depicting previous attacks. It is not known if any other Athosian villages remained behind on the planet following the most recent Wraith attack, after which the Athosians in Teyla's village relocated to Atlantis. HOME TO - Athosians | Planet Hoff | Planet in the Pegasus Galaxy, inhabited by a resolute people who are determined to perfect and complete a drug that will inhibit a Wraith's ability to feed. Before the Wraith awakening by Major John Sheppard, there was more than a 50 year gap between cullings on Hoff.Archives containing the accomplishments of the entire
civilization, stored in book form, are kept throughout the city. The odds are at least one library will survive following a culling so that future generations will be ableto continue to build on the accomplishments of those who came before.HOME TO - Hoffans | Planet M7G - 677 | Planet in the Pegasus Galaxy, protected from the Wraith by a zero point module. The world once inhabited a settlement of advanced beings, perhaps ancients, who
eventually left the Z.P.M. emitting a shield over twelve inhabited villages.This shield prevents Wraith technology from working inside the field. Though they could enter and attack on foot, the Wraith are satiated by other feeding grounds and leave this planet's inhabitants alone.Ritual suicides by the villagers were only part of the equation for keeping the Wraith away, as their limited numbers prevented an outgrowth beyond the perimeter of the shield, but Dr. Rodney McKay successfully modified the Z.P.M. so that it could sustain a much larger area for approximately the next fifty years.HOME TO - Keras's people |
