== Summary == <br />
P3R-233 is the site of the Quantum Mirror that takes Dr. Daniel Jackson to an alternate reality.<br />
<br />
The Stargate is in an interior room below ground. Heavy equipment of indeterminate function fills the room. The equipment is labeled in a language that is not recognized by Dr. Jackson, he can only identify it as "definitely alien."<br />
<br />
The facility includes an artifact room filled with items from different cultures, all tagged and labeled. One of these artifacts was an Ancient's long range communication device.<br />
<br />
==Factoids==<br />
<br />
* '''Names and Designations:''' P3R-233<br />
* '''Number of Suns:''' unknown (The stargate is housed below ground.)<br />
* '''Number of Moons:''' unknown<br />
* '''Source of Address:''' unknown<br />
* '''Introduced in Episode:''' 1.20 "There But For The Grace Of God"<br />
* '''Earth Cultural/Technological Equivalent:''' Advanced, but alien<br />
* '''Main Interest:''' Location of the Quantum Mirror and the Ancient's communication devices<br />
* '''Influenced/Dominated by:''' Destroyed by the Goa'uld<br />
* '''History of Stargate:''' unknown<br />
<br />
==Stargate Glyphs==<br />
<br />
==Geopolitical Structure and History==<br />
The planet was destroyed by the Goa'uld and left contaminated by radiation. As a warning an ominous totem is left behind. It is the symbol of Korosh-ni. It is for any Goa'uld or Jaffa who may pass through the Gate. Loosely translated from Goa'uld it means, "Turn back."<br />
<br />
In the alternate reality visited by Dr. Jackson, the planet had been visited, but the quantum mirror was not found there. The SGA was able to confirm that the planet was the source of a message that warned of the incipient attack by the Goa'uld and gave the coordinates for the source of the Goa'uld attack. (1.20 "There But For The Grace of God")<br />
<br />
In the alternate reality left by Dr. Samantha Carter and Major Charles Kawalsky, the Quantum Mirror was found on the planet and moved for study to their Stargate command. (3.06 "Point Of View")<br />

<div>[[Category:Stargate]][[Category:Technology]][[Image:12001.jpg|178px|thumb|left|Dr. Jackson and the Quantum Mirror]] <br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The quantum mirror is an alien device of unknown origin that transports a person from one reality to another by touching it. <br />
<br />
The mirror is approximately 7 feet tall by 3 feet wide and about a foot thick with a wide base. It is irregularly shaped and formed from naquadah (a quartizite metal that is not found on Earth). The smooth surface looks like a mirror on first glance, but is actually a portal displaying an alternate universe. <br />
<br />
The quantum mirror was discovered by Dr. Daniel Jackon during a mission to P3R-233. After accidently activating the mirror and returning to Earth, Dr. Jackson found himself at another version of the Stargate Program.<br />
<br />
After Dr. Jackson's returned through the mirror to his own reality, SGC retrieved the device and brought it back to the SGC. It was moved to a secret storage area in a Nellis High Security lock-up (Area 51). It remained there until Dr. Samantha Carter and Major Charles Kawalsky came through it from yet another reality. The quantum mirror was moved back to the SGC under heavy guard. Dr. Carter brought a controller with her from her reality, which was convenient considering the original controller was destroyed in the first alternate reality.<br />
<br />
Note: The term "alternate reality" and "alternate universe" are used inter-changably.<br />
<br />
== How the Quantum Mirror Works ==<br />
<br />
A hand-held controller is required to activate and control the mirror. When the mirror is "off," the surface is non-reflective. When it is on, the mirror displays the alternate universe.<br />
<br />
The controller allows the user to "dial" through the connected universes. Through the mirror, the user can view the surroundings of the "receiving" quantum mirror.<br />
<br />
When a user touches the mirror, there is a flash of light and an electical shock. They are Instantaneously transported into the selected alternate universe and are now looking through the mirror to their originating universe.<br />
<br />
As long as they are turned on, the mirrors connect the same two realities. If one of the quantum mirrors is "turned off" then the mirror "loses" its place and needs to be redialed to find your originating universe. The controller's dial determines the increments of change.<br />
<br />
As the quantum mirror is made of naquadah, it is able to absorb and hold a great deal of energy. The flash of light and the "electrical shock" that occurs when the mirror is touched, indicates energy is being released as the transfer is initated.<br />
<br />
=== The Theory of the Multiverse ===<br />
[[Image:workinprogress.jpg|left]]<br />
<br />
The theory of multiverse suggests that the universe is constantly splitting into multiple universes. It is suggested that one trigger for these splits are the very decisions we make.<br />
From the point of creation, every action created a divergence and an alternate reality. <br />
<br />
".. for every possible universe, there are an infinite number of variations, diverging at every choice we make like forks in a road..." (3.06 "Point Of View")<br />
<br />
"..there a infinite number of alternate realities. Some are very different, and some are almost identical." (1.20 "There But For The Grace Of God.")<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Dangers Using the Quantum Mirror ===<br />
If a person stays in an alternate reality where they have a living counterpart, for more than 48 hours, they begin to experience "entropic cascade failure" on the cellular level. It is caused by the increased entropy of two people existing in the same reality. The visiting person literally begin to distort and come apart at the cellular level. The effect looks like a video that has gone out of focus. It is very painful. The more time passes, the worse it gets and will eventually cause the visitor's death.<br />

<div>[[Category:Stargate]][[Category:Technology]][[Image:12001.jpg|178px|thumb|left|Dr. Jackson and the Quantum Mirror]] <br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The Quantum Mirror is a device discovered by Dr. Daniel Jackon during a mission to P3R-233. After accidently activating the mirror and returning to Earth, Dr. Jackson found himself at another version of the Stargate Program.<br />
<br />
The Dr. Samantha Carter of that reality deduced that the Quantum Mirror was a device that permited instantaneous travel between two alternate realities.<br />
<br />
".. for every possible universe, there are an infinite number of variations, diverging at every choice we make like forks in a road..." (3.06 "Point Of View")<br />
<br />
"..there a infinite number of alternate realities. Some are very different, and some are almost identical." (1.20 "There But For The Grace Of God.")<br />
<br />
It is unknown what race developed the mirror, though the mirror is made of naquadah (a quartizite metal that is not found on Earth). After Dr. Jackson's initial trip through the Mirror, SGC retrieved the Quantum Mirror and brought it back to the SGC. It was moved to a secret storage area in a Nellis High Security lock-up (Area 51). Where it remained until Dr. Samantha Carter and Major Charles Kawalsky came through it from yet another reality. The Mirror was moved back to the SGC under heavy guard. They brought a controller with them, which was convenient considering the original controller was destroyed in the first alternate reality.<br />
<br />
Note: The term "alternate reality" and "alternate universe" are used inter-changably.<br />
<br />
== How the Quantum Mirror Works ==<br />
<br />
The Quantum Mirror is made of naquadah (a quartzite metal that's not found on Earth and the same material as the stargates.) <br />
<br />
The mirror requires a hand-held controller to activate and control the device. When the mirror is off, the surface is non-reflective. When it is on, it displays the alternate universe.<br />
<br />
The device allows the user to "dial" through the connected universes. The view of surroundings of the "receiving" quantum mirror is displayed.<br />
<br />
When the person touches the mirror, there is a flash of light, an electical shock, and they are tranported into the selected alternate universe and are now looking through the mirror at their originating universe.<br />
<br />
As long as it is turned on, the mirrors are connect the same two realities. If the quantum mirror is "turned off" Then the mirror is reset and you need to dial again to find your originating universe. You can control the increments of change with the controller's dial.<br />
<br />
=== The Therory of Quantum Realities ===<br />
Every action creates an alternate universe.<br />
<br />
=== Dangers Using the Quantum Mirror ===<br />
If a person stays in an alternate reality where they have a living counterpart, for more than 48 hours, they begin to experience "entropic cascade failure" on the cellular level. It is caused by the increased entropy of two people existing in the same reality. The visiting person literally begin to distort and come apart at the cellular level. The effect looks like a video that has gone out of focus. It is very painful. The more time passes, the worse it gets and will eventually cause the visitor's death.<br />

* Dr. Daniel Jackson was not part of the Stargate Program.<br />
* Their team found a quantum mirror on P3X-233 and their scientists learned to use it.<br />
* Colonel Jack O'Neill was killed 3 days before Carter and Kawalsky escaped. He was killed in front of Apophis.<br />
* Carter and O'Neill are married and celebrated their anniversary "a few weeks ago" with a quiet dinner for two at home. Just as the Goa'uld were entering the solar system.<br />
* They had not contacted the Asgard.<br />
* Teal'c is still first prime to Apophis and has a small beard.<br />
* There is no mention of Catherine Langford.<br />

== Summary == <br />
P3R-233 is the site of the Quantum Mirror that takes Dr. Daniel Jackson to an alternate reality.<br />
<br />
The Stargate is in an interior room below ground. Heavy equipment of indeterminate function fills the room. The equipment is labeled in a language that is not recognized by Dr. Jackson, he can only identify it as "definitely alien."<br />
<br />
The facility includes an artifact room filled with items from different cultures, all tagged and labeled.<br />
<br />
The planet was destroyed by the Goa'uld and left contaminated by radiation. As a warning an ominous totem is left behind. It is the symbol of Korosh-ni. It is for any Goa'uld or Jaffa who may pass through the Gate. Loosely translated from Goa'uld it means, "Turn back."<br />

<hr />
<div>I've been a Stargate fan since the movie. I still drink my tea from my Stargate the movie mug. I was thrilled when Stargate became a series, even if I didn't have Showtime and didn't catch more than a few episodes.<br />
<br />
I joined in full-time around season four, and got hooked hard. I started buying the DVDs and was able to make up for lost time.<br />
<br />
I'm new to the wiki community, but this is way more fun than the kind of writing I do at work.<br />

===Summary===<br />
<br />
The Beta Site is a back-up to the Alpha Site, a secret safe-haven and fallback position for Stargate Command (SCG) personnel and their allies.<br />
<br />
===Episode references ===<br />
<br />
When the Anubis' Kull warriors attack the Alpha Site, Colonel Riley orders the evacuation to the Beta Site. Not all of the occupants of the Alpha Site make it to the Beta Site. (7.16 "Death Knell") This is the only reference to a Beta Site in our universe.<br />
<br />
Note: When Dr. Daniel Jackson goes through the quantum mirror to alternate universe, the Stargate Agency (counterpart to our Stargate Command) is evacuating their "Genesis list" to their Beta site. (1.20 "There But For The Grace of God" )<br />
<br />
When Dr. Samantha Carter and Major Charles Kawalsky come through the Quantum Mirror to our reality, they report that before their command was destroyed, the personnel were evacuated and their Beta Site was told to bury their gate. (3.06 "Point of View")<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
The Quantum Mirror is a device created by an unknown race that permits nearly instantaneous travel between two dimensions.<br />
<br />
According to Dr. Sam Carter, "Okay the theory is, that there a infinite number of alternate realities. Some are very different, and some are almost identical." "There But For The Grace Of God."<br />
<br />
"...according to<br />
quantum theory, for every possible universe, there are an infinite number of<br />
variations, diverging at every choice we make like forks in a road..." Point of View<br />
<br />
== How the Quantum Mirror Works ==<br />
<br />
The Quantum Mirror, made of naquadah (a quartzite metal that's not found on Earth and the same material as the stargates.) <br />
<br />
The mirror requires a hand-held controller to activate and control the device. When the mirror is off, the surface is non-reflective. When it is on, it displays the alternate universe.<br />
<br />
The device allows the user to "dial" through the connected universes. The view of surroundings of the "receiving" quantum mirror is displayed.<br />
<br />
When the person touches the mirror, there is a flash of light and they are tranported into the selected alternate universe and are now looking at their originating universe.<br />
<br />
As long as it is turned on, you are connected to the same reality.<br />
If the quantum mirror is "turned off" Then the mirror is reset and you need to dial again to find your originating universe. You can control the increments the controller dials.<br />
<br />
===Side Effects ===<br />
If a person stays in the alternate reality more than 48 hours, they begin to experience "Entropic cascade failure" on the cellular level. It is caused by the increased entropy of two people existing in the same reality. The visiting person literally begin to distort. It looks like a video that has gone out of focus. The more time passes, the worse it gets.<br />
<br />
It is very painful. (3.06 Point of View)<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Site is a secret safe-haven to which the Stargate Command (SGC) can evacuate personnel and their allies. This base also serves as an off-world laboratory and a back-up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site. The Alpha Sites were not occupied simultaneously, but consecutively as they were compromised.<br />
<br />
During various periods, the rebel Jaffa and Tok’ra lived along side the Tau’ri at these bases. <br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first introduction of the concept of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate universe through the Quantum Mirror. In that universe, the Earth was under attack and the Stargate Agency (their version of the SGC) was in the process of sending its world leaders, scientists, and doctors (Genesis list) off-world to a "Beta Site" for safety. (1.20 "There But For The Grace")<br />
<br />
Apparently back in our universe, the SGC either had a similar good idea or got it from Dr. Jackson's debrief after his return. To escape Apophis' doomed ship after the team embarked on a covert mission to save Earth, Dr. Jackson used Earth as a point of origin and fled through the ship's stargate to the same address in the alternate universe, P3X 984, which turns out to be our SGC's Alpha Site, also. (1.22 “Within The Serpent’s Grasp”)<br />
<br />
The Alpha and Beta sites are chosen from addresses added to the stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancients' knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the northwestern portion of the United States. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha Site sits in a clearing close to the stargate. The military-issue quonset huts are arranged in a loose circle. The rebel Jaffa make their camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, and several laboratories. The facility is powered by a naquadah reactor.<br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The “alpha list” was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." The list was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams." Each team consists of about a dozen men and women. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
It could be argued that this was not a permanent base. When Col. O'Neill goes undercover during the rogue-NID sting, O'Neill confesses to Dr. Jackson that "Hammond and I were planning a secondary SGC base off-world. It was going to serve as a backup in case ours was attacked. I was going to command." (3.18 "Shades of Grey") This might suggest that initially, the Alpha Site was not a permanent command, but a temporary outpost during a threat to Earth and it wasn't until after this incident that a permanent base was established. This would explain why we don't hear about the Alpha Site again for almost two years. Additionally, when Teal’c, Carter, and O’Neill escape the Asgard ship, they go to P4X-234. Did they go there because there wasn’t an Alpha Site or because they don’t want to risk the replicators following them?<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to preserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is Armageddon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation. General Hammond orders O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. He claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha Site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." (5.17 "Failsafe")<br />
<br />
When the Goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha Site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes. (6.01 "Redemption Part 1")<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack, the surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an ashrak, a Goa'uld assassin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegiance")<br />
<br />
This reference is questionable. Three months before Dr. Daniel Jackson returns, he witnesses Bratac and Ryac attempting to return to an Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Were they attempting to return to the first Alpha Site or had the site already been relocated? Later Col. O'Neill relocates the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site, but this could be assumed to be the second site. (7.04 "Orpheus")<br />
<br />
===Abandoning The First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
The SGC abandoned the first Alpha Site sometime after Jonas Quinn was captured and his mind probed by Anubis. (7.02 "Homecoming") <br />
<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Major Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new super soldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Riley, commander of the Alpha Site, ordered an evacuation to the Beta Site and initiated the self-destruct. <br />
<br />
At the time the site was destroyed there were more than 90 people occupying the site. (The Beta site reports 90 people missing.) It is unknown what the exact mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri were during this occupation, but from the discussion between the Tok'ra Daleg and Hammond we know that of the 90 reported missing, 77 were human, 5 Tok’ra, and with the remaining 8 being Jaffa.<br />
<br />
SG-1, SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (commanded by Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned on a rescue mission to the Alpha Site. They discover Major Green, the base's second-in-command and a dozen survivors.<br />
<br />
General Hammond ordered an investigation of the leak that exposed the Alpha Site. This reveals a growing distrust between the Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri. The investigation did not reveal the source of the leak.<br />
<br />
The Tok'ra use the excuse of their dwindling numbers to withdraw from the Alliance. Although still Tau’ri allies, the rebel Jaffa chose to start their own colony rather than continue to live under the protection of the Tau'ri. (7.22 "Death Knell") <br />
<br />
It is assumed that neither Jaffa nor Tok'ra followed the SGC to the Third Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===The Third Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the Second Alpha Site, a third Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it was a Beta Site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
<br/> <br />
http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/images/thumb/e/ec/178px-80806.jpg<br />
<br />
A third Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility, science lab, and a large interior hanger which house the F-302 fighters.<br />
<br />
The Alpha Site gate room is much smaller than the SGC's gate room and does not appear to have a separate control room. A DHD sits in the gate room, but the gate is controlled by computers on a desk only a few yards from the gate. A separate secondary control room with a star map is located nearby, but not adjacent to the gate room. <br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under a mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. On the outside, huge blast doors protect the hanger. Outside the doors on a large landing pad, several trucks are parked.<br />
<br />
More of the Alpha Site is revealed when the Replicator-Carter comes to our galaxy and Carter brings her to the Alpha Site for questioning. (8.11 "Gemini"). For security, Carter recommends that the Alpha Site is reduced to a "...skeleton crew, security personnel only," but there are clearly at least 4 technicians and at least 8 guards still on site while Carter and Replicator-Carter are working on modifying the Ancient disruptor weapon.<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site. (7.20 "Lost City Part 1")<br />
<br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate system was disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. (7.09 "Avenger 2.0")<br />
<br />
While the SGC is in lockdown, due to Col. Vasilav's mysterious condition, General O'Neill sends the off-planet teams to the Alpha Site. (8.03 "Lockdown")<br />
<br />
When industrialist/philanthropist Alec Colson threatens to reveal the Stargate program, Carter attempts to show him how important. She takes him on a tour of the Alpha Site and a joy-ride in an F-302. in an attempt to needs to be convinced that the Stargate program is worth keeping a secret, <br />
When the Trust destroys his credibility and life, he is offered permanent residence at the Alpha Site. (8.08 "Covenant")<br />
<br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, gate technicians, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Site is a secret safe-haven to which the Stargate Command (SGC) can evacuate personnel and their allies. This base also serves as an off-world laboratory and a back-up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site. The Alpha Sites were not occupied simultaneously, but consecutively as they were compromised.<br />
<br />
During various periods, the rebel Jaffa and Tok’ra lived along side the Tau’ri at these bases. <br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first introduction of the concept of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate universe through the Quantum Mirror. In that universe, the Earth was under attack and the Stargate Agency (their version of the SGC) was in the process of sending its world leaders, scientists, and doctors (Genesis list) off-world to a "Beta Site" for safety. (1.20 "There But For The Grace")<br />
<br />
Apparently back in our universe, the SGC either had a similar good idea or got it from Dr. Jackson's debrief after his return. To escape Apophis' doomed ship after the team embarked on a covert mission to save Earth, Dr. Jackson used Earth as a point of origin and fled through the ship's stargate to the same address in the alternate universe, P3X 984, which turns out to be our SGC's Alpha Site, also.

Apparently back in our universe, the SGC either had a similar good idea or got it from Dr. Jackson's debrief after his return. To escape Apophis's doomed ship after the team embarked on a covert mission to save Earth, Dr. Jackson used Earth as a point of origin and fled through the ship's stargate to the same address in the alternate universe, P3X 984, which turns out to be our SGC's Alpha Site, also. (1.22 “Within The Serpent’s Grasp”)<br />
<br />
The Alpha and Beta Sites are chosen from addresses added to the stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancients' knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the northwestern portion of the United States. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha Site sits in a clearing close to the stargate. The military-issue quonset huts are arranged in a loose circle. The rebel Jaffa make their camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, and several laboratories. The facility is powered by a naquadah reactor.<br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The “alpha list” was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." The list was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams." Each team consists of about a dozen men and women. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
It could be argued that this was not a permanent base. When Col. O'Neill goes undercover during the rogue-NID sting, O'Neill confesses to Dr. Jackson that "Hammond and I were planning a secondary SGC base off-world. It was going to serve as a backup in case ours was attacked. I was going to command." (3.18 "Shades of Grey") This might suggest that initially, the Alpha Site was not a permanent command, but a temporary outpost during a threat to Earth and it wasn't until after this incident that a permanent base was established. This would explain why we don't hear about the Alpha Site again for almost two years. Additionally, when Teal’c, Carter, and O’Neill escape the Asgard ship, they go to P4X-234. Did they go there because there wasn’t an Alpha Site or because they don’t want to risk the replicators following them?<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to preserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is Armageddon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation. General Hammond orders O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. He claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha Site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." (5.17 "Failsafe")<br />
<br />
When the Goa'uld Sokar blocks the SGC from dialing out by by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha Site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes. This is just before she realizes that Sokar's real intent is to overcharge the stargate and cause it to explode.(6.01 "Redemption Part 1")<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack, the surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an ashrak, a Goa'uld assassin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegiance")<br />
<br />
This reference is questionable. Three months before Dr. Daniel Jackson returns, he witnesses Bratac and Ryac attempting to return to an Alpha Site when they were captured on Erebus. Were they attempting to return to the first Alpha Site or had the site already been relocated? Later Col. O'Neill relocates the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site, but this could be assumed to be the second site. (7.04 "Orpheus")<br />
<br />
===Abandoning The First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
The SGC abandoned the first Alpha Site sometime after Jonas Quinn was captured and his mind probed by Anubis. (7.02 "Homecoming") <br />
<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Major Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new super soldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Riley, commander of the Alpha Site, ordered an evacuation to the Beta Site and initiated the self-destruct. <br />
<br />
At the time the site was destroyed there were more than 90 people occupying the site. (The Beta Site reports 90 people missing.) It is unknown what the exact mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri were during this occupation, but from the discussion between the Tok'ra Daleg and Hammond we know that of the 90 reported missing, 77 were human, 5 Tok’ra, and with the remaining 8 being Jaffa.<br />
<br />
SG-1, SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (commanded by Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned on a rescue mission to the Alpha Site. They discover Major Green, the base's second-in-command and a dozen survivors.<br />
<br />
General Hammond ordered an investigation of the leak that exposed the Alpha Site. This reveals a growing distrust between the Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri. The investigation did not reveal the source of the leak.<br />
<br />
The Tok'ra use the excuse of their dwindling numbers to withdraw from the Alliance. Although still Tau’ri allies, the rebel Jaffa chose to start their own colony rather than continue to live under the protection of the Tau'ri. (7.22 "Death Knell") <br />
<br />
It is assumed that neither Jaffa nor Tok'ra followed the SGC to the third Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===The Third Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the Second Alpha Site, a third Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it was a Beta Site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
<br/> <br />
http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/images/thumb/e/ec/178px-80806.jpg<br />
<br />
A third Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility, science lab, and a large interior hanger which house the F-302 fighters.<br />
<br />
The Alpha Site gate room is much smaller than the SGC's gate room and does not appear to have a separate control room. A DHD sits in the gate room, but the gate is controlled by computers on a desk only a few yards from the gate. A separate secondary control room with a star map is located nearby, but not adjacent to the gate room. <br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under a mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. On the outside, huge blast doors protect the hanger. Outside the doors on a large landing pad, several trucks are parked.<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site. (7.20 "Lost City Part 1")<br />
<br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate system was disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. (7.09 "Avenger 2.0")<br />
<br />
While the SGC is in lockdown, due to Col. Vasilav's mysterious condition, General O'Neill sends the off-planet teams to the Alpha Site. (8.03 "Lockdown")<br />
<br />
When industrialist/philanthropist Alec Colson threatens to reveal the Stargate program, Carter attempts to show him how important. She takes him on a tour of the Alpha Site and a joy-ride in an F-302. in an attempt to needs to be convinced that the Stargate program is worth keeping a secret, <br />
When the Trust destroys his credibility and life, he is offered permanent residence at the Alpha Site. (8.08 "Covenant")<br />
<br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
More of the Alpha Site is revealed when the Replicator-Carter comes to our galaxy and Carter brings her to the Alpha Site for questioning. For security, Carter recommends that the Alpha Site is reduced to a "...skeleton crew, security personnel only," but there are clearly at least 4 technicians and at least 8 guards still on site while Carter and Replicator-Carter are working on modifying the Ancient disruptor weapon. (8.11 "Gemini")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha Site is active. It is manned by a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, gate technicians, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Site is a secret safe-haven to which the Stargate Command (SGC) can evacuate personnel and their allies. This base also serves as an off-world laboratory and a back-up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site. The Alpha Sites were not occupied simultaneously, but consecutively as they were compromised.<br />
<br />
During various periods, the rebel Jaffa and Tok’ra lived along side the Tau’ri at these bases. <br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first introduction of the concept of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate universe through the Quantum Mirror. In that universe, the Earth was under attack and the Stargate Agency (their version of the SGC) was in the process of sending its world leaders, scientists, and doctors (Genesis list) off-world to a "Beta Site" for safety. (1.20 "There But the Grace of God")<br />
<br />
Apparently back in our universe, the SGC either had a similar good idea or got it from Dr. Jackson's debrief after his return. When Aphophis’s ship did arrive to our Earth, <br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis's doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escapes through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turns out to be our SGC's Alpha Site. (1.22 “Within The Serpent’s Grasp”)<br />
<br />
The Alpha and Beta sites are chosen from addresses added to the stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")<br />

<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North-Western portion of the United States. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha Site sits in a clearing close to the stargate. The military-issue quonset huts are arranged in a loose circle. The rebel Jaffa make their camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, and several laboratories. The facility is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site.<br />

The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis' doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escaped through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turned out to be this SGC's Alpha Site. (1.21 "There But the Grace of God")<br />

The Alpha and sites are chosen from addresses added to the Stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. (2.15 "The Fifth Race")<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North Western portion of America. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha site sits in a clearing close to the Stargate. The military issue quanset huts are arranged in a lose circle. The Rebel Jaffa make thier camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, several labratories and is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The Alpha List was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." It was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams" made up of about a dozen men and women each. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2)<br />
<br />
It could be argued that this was not a permanent base. When Col. O'Neill goes undercover during the Rogue-NID sting, O'Neill confesses to Dr. Jackson that "Hammond and I were planning a secondary SGC base offworld. It was going to serve as a backup in case ours was attacked. I was going to command." This might suggest that initially, the Alpha site was not a permanent command, but a temporary outpost during a threat to Earth and it wasn't until after this incident that a permanent base was established. (3.18 "Shades of Grey") This would explain why we don't hear about the Alpha Site again for almost two years.<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to perserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate Kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is armeggedon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation. General Hammond orders Col. O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. He claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." (5.17 "Failsafe")<br />
<br />
When the goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes. (6.02 "Redemption Part 1")<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack. The surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegience")<br />
<br />
This reference is questionable. Three months before Dr. Daniel Jackson returns, he witnesses Bratac and Ryac attempting to return to an Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Were they attempting to return to the first Alpha Site or had the site already been relocated? Later Col. O'Neill relocates the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site, but this could be assumed to be the second site. (7.04 "Orpheus")<br />
<br />
===Abandoning the first Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
The SGC abandoned the first Alpha Site sometime after Jonas Quinn was captured and his mind probed by Anubis. (7.02 "Homecoming") <br />
<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Maj. Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new Supersoldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the Stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Riley, commander of the Alpha site, orders an evacuation to the Beta site. A Kull warrior was left to find and finish off the survivors.<br />
<br />
At the time the site was destroyed there were more than 90 people occupying the site. (The Beta site reports 90 people missing.) It is unknown what the exact mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri were during this occupation, but from the discussion between the Tok'ra Daleg and Hammon we know that of the 90 reported missing, 77 were human, 5 Tokra, and that leaves 8 Jaffa.<br />
<br />
SG-1, SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (commanded by Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned on a rescue mission to the Alpha Site. They discover Major Green, the base's second-in-command and a dozen survivors.<br />
<br />
General Hammond ordered an investigation of the leak that exposed the Alpha Site, which revealed a growing distrust between the Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri. The investigation did not reveal the source of the leak.<br />
<br />
The Tok'ra use the excuse of their dwindling numbers to withdraw from the Alliance. Although still allies, the Rebel Jaffa chose to start their own coloney rather than continue to live under the protection of the Tau'ri.<br />
(7.22 "Death Knell") It is assumed that neither Jaffa nor Tok'ra followed the SGC to the Third Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===The Third Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the Second Alpha Site, a third Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it is the Beta site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
<br/> <br />
http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/images/thumb/e/ec/178px-80806.jpg<br />
<br />
A second Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility, science lab, and a large hanger to house the F-302s.<br />
<br />
The gateroom is much smaller than the SGC's gateroom and does not appear to have a seperate control room. A DHD sits in the gateroom, but the gate is controlled by computers on a desk only a few yards from the gate. A seperate secondary control room with a starmap is located nearby, but not adjacent to the gateroom. <br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under the mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. Huge blast doors protect the hanger, and outside the base is a large landing pad. It is apparently normal to have a few trucks parked outside.<br />
<br />
More of the Alpha Site is revealed when the Replicator-Carter comes to our galaxy and Col. Carter brings her to the Alpha Site for questioning. (8.11 "Gemini"). For security, Col Carter recommends that the Alpha Site is reduced to a "Skeleton crew, security personnel only," but there are clearly at least 4 technicians still on site while Col. Carter and Replicator-Carter are working on modifying the Ancient disruptor weapon.<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site. (7.20 "Lost City Part 1")<br />
<br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate systemwas disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. (7.09 "Avenger 2.0")<br />

<br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
Although not mentioned specifically, when SG-1 discovers the Ancient Timeship, Carter implies that the plan is to "bring it back." She then explains that the ship is the right dimenions to fly through the stargate. The standard operating procedure would indicate it should go to the Alpha site (8.13 "It's Good to Be King")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by at least a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site.<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />

O'Neill goes undercover during the Rogue-NID sting, O'Neill confesses to Dr. Jackson that "Hammond and I were planning a secondary SGC base offworld. It was going to serve as a backup in case ours was attacked. I was going to command." This might suggest that initially, the Alpha site was not a permanent command, but a temporary outpost during a threat to Earth and it wasn't until after this incident that a permanent base was established. (3.18 "Shades of Grey") This would explain why we don't hear about the Alpha Site again for almost two years.<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to perserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate Kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
===Getting Roommates===<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack. The surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegience")<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is armeggedon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation. General Hammond orders Col. O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. He claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." (5.17 "Failsafe")<br />
<br />
When the goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes. (6.02 "Redemption Part 1")<br />
<br />
This reference is questionable. Three months before Dr. Daniel Jackson returns, he witnesses Bratac and Ryac attempting to return to an Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Were they attempting to return to the first Alpha Site or had the site already been relocated? Later Col. O'Neill relocates the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site, but this could be assumed to be the second site. (7.04 "Orpheus")<br />
<br />
===Abandoning the first Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
The SGC abandoned the first Alpha Site sometime after Jonas Quinn was captured and his mind probed by Anubis. (7.02 "Homecoming") <br />
<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Maj. Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new Supersoldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the Stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Riley, commander of the Alpha site, orders an evacuation to the Beta site. A Kull warrior was left to find and finish off the survivors.<br />
<br />
At the time the site was destroyed there were more than 90 people occupying the site. (The Beta site reports 90 people missing.) It is unknown what the exact mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri were during this occupation, but from the discussion between the Tok'ra Daleg and Hammon we know that of the 90 reported missing, 77 were human, 5 Tokra, and that leaves 8 Jaffa.<br />
<br />
SG-1, SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (commanded by Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned on a rescue mission to the Alpha Site. They discover Major Green, the base's second-in-command and a dozen survivors.<br />
<br />
General Hammond ordered an investigation of the leak that exposed the Alpha Site, which revealed a growing distrust between the Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri. The investigation did not reveal the source of the leak.<br />
<br />
The Tok'ra use the excuse of their dwindling numbers to withdraw from the Alliance. Although still allies, the Rebel Jaffa chose to start their own coloney rather than continue to live under the protection of the Tau'ri.<br />
(7.22 "Death Knell") It is assumed that neither Jaffa nor Tok'ra followed the SGC to the Third Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===The Third Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the Second Alpha Site, a third Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it is the Beta site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
<br/> <br />
http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/images/thumb/e/ec/178px-80806.jpg<br />
<br />
A second Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility, science lab, and a large hanger to house the F-302s.<br />
<br />
The gateroom is much smaller than the SGC's gateroom and does not appear to have a seperate control room. A DHD sits in the gateroom, but the gate is controlled by computers on a desk only a few yards from the gate. A seperate secondary control room with a starmap is located nearby, but not adjacent to the gateroom. <br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under the mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. Huge blast doors protect the hanger, and outside the base is a large landing pad. It is apparently normal to have a few trucks parked outside.<br />
<br />
More of the Alpha Site is revealed when the Replicator-Carter comes to our galaxy and Col. Carter brings her to the Alpha Site for questioning. (8.11 "Gemini"). For security, Col Carter recommends that the Alpha Site is reduced to a "Skeleton crew, security personnel only," but there are clearly at least 4 technicians still on site while Col. Carter and Replicator-Carter are working on modifying the Ancient disruptor weapon.<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site. (7.20 "Lost City Part 1")<br />
<br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate systemwas disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. (7.09 "Avenger 2.0")<br />
<br />
While the SGC is in lockdown, due to Col. Vasilav's mysterious condition, General O'Neill sends the off-planet teams to the Alpha Site. (8.03 "Lockdown"<br />
<br />
When industrialist/philanthropist Alec Colson needs to be convinced that the Stargate program is worth keeping a secret, so he gets a tour of the base and a joy-ride in a F-302. When the Trust destroys his credibility and life, he is offered permanent residence at the Alpha Site. (8.08 "Covenant")<br />
<br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
Although not mentioned specifically, when SG-1 discovers the Ancient Timeship, Carter implies that the plan is to "bring it back." She then explains that the ship is the right dimenions to fly through the stargate. The standard operating procedure would indicate it should go to the Alpha site (8.13 "It's Good to Be King")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by at least a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

<div>[[Category:Places]]<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site.<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis' doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escaped through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turned out to be this SGC's Alpha Site. (1.21 "There But the Grace of God")<br />
<br />
The Alpha and sites are chosen from addresses added to the Stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. (2.15 "The Fifth Race")<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North Western portion of America. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha site sits in a clearing close to the Stargate. The military issue quanset huts are arranged in a lose circle. The Rebel Jaffa make thier camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, several labratories and is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The Alpha List was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." It was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams" made up of about a dozen men and women each. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2)<br />
<br />
It could be argued that this was not a permanent base. When Col. O'Neill goes undercover during the Rogue-NID sting, O'Neill confesses to Dr. Jackson that "Hammond and I were planning a secondary SGC base offworld. It was going to serve as a backup in case ours was attacked. I was going to command." This might suggest that initially, the Alpha site was not a permanent command, but a temporary outpost during a threat to Earth and it wasn't until after this incident that a permanent base was established. (3.18 "Shades of Grey") This would explain why we don't hear about the Alpha Site again for almost two years.<br />

The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegience")<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
When Col. O'Neill goes undercover during the Rogue-NID sting, O'Neill confesses to Dr. Jackson that "Hammond and I were planning a secondary SGC base offworld. It was going to serve as a backup in case ours was attacked. I was going to command." This might suggest that initially, the Alpha site was not a permanent command, but a temporary outpost during a threat to Earth and it wasn't until after this incident that a permanent base was established. (3.18 "Shades of Grey") This would explain why we don't hear about the Alpha Site again for almost two years.<br />
<br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is armeggedon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation. General Hammond orders Col. O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. He claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." (5.17 "Failsafe")<br />
<br />
When the goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes. (6.02 "Redemption Part 1")<br />
<br />
This reference is questionable. Three months before Dr. Daniel Jackson returns, he witnesses Bratac and Ryac attempting to return to an Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Were they attempting to return to the first Alpha Site or had the site already been relocated? Later Col. O'Neill relocates the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site, but this could be assumed to be the second site. (7.04 "Orpheus")<br />
<br />
===Abandoning the first Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
The SGC abandoned the first Alpha Site sometime after Jonas Quinn was captured and his mind probed by Anubis. (7.02 "Homecoming") <br />
<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Maj. Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new Supersoldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the Stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Riley, commander of the Alpha site, orders an evacuation to the Beta site. A Kull warrior was left to find and finish off the survivors.<br />
<br />
At the time the site was destroyed there were more than 90 people occupying the site. (The Beta site reports 90 people missing.) It is unknown what the exact mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri were during this occupation, but from the discussion between the Tok'ra Daleg and Hammon we know that of the 90 reported missing, 77 were human, 5 Tokra, and that leaves 8 Jaffa.<br />
<br />
SG-1, SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (commanded by Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned on a rescue mission to the Alpha Site. They discover Major Green, the base's second-in-command and a dozen survivors.<br />
<br />
General Hammond ordered an investigation of the leak that exposed the Alpha Site, which revealed a growing distrust between the Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri. The investigation did not reveal the source of the leak.<br />
<br />
The Tok'ra use the excuse of their dwindling numbers to withdraw from the Alliance. Although still allies, the Rebel Jaffa chose to start their own coloney rather than continue to live under the protection of the Tau'ri.<br />
(7.22 "Death Knell") It is assumed that neither Jaffa nor Tok'ra followed the SGC to the Third Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===The Third Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the Second Alpha Site, a third Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it is the Beta site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
<br/> <br />
http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/images/thumb/e/ec/178px-80806.jpg<br />
<br />
A second Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility, science lab, and a large hanger to house the F-302s.<br />
<br />
The gateroom is much smaller than the SGC's gateroom and does not appear to have a seperate control room. A DHD sits in the gateroom, but the gate is controlled by computers on a desk only a few yards from the gate. A seperate secondary control room with a starmap is located nearby, but not adjacent to the gateroom. <br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under the mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. Huge blast doors protect the hanger, and outside the base is a large landing pad. It is apparently normal to have a few trucks parked outside.<br />
<br />
More of the Alpha Site is revealed when the Replicator-Carter comes to our galaxy and Col. Carter brings her to the Alpha Site for questioning. (8.11 "Gemini"). For security, Col Carter recommends that the Alpha Site is reduced to a "Skeleton crew, security personnel only," but there are clearly at least 4 technicians still on site while Col. Carter and Replicator-Carter are working on modifying the Ancient disruptor weapon.<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site. (7.20 "Lost City Part 1")<br />
<br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate systemwas disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. (7.09 "Avenger 2.0")<br />
<br />
While the SGC is in lockdown, due to Col. Vasilav's mysterious condition, General O'Neill sends the off-planet teams to the Alpha Site. (8.03 "Lockdown"<br />
<br />
When industrialist/philanthropist Alec Colson needs to be convinced that the Stargate program is worth keeping a secret, so he gets a tour of the base and a joy-ride in a F-302. When the Trust destroys his credibility and life, he is offered permanent residence at the Alpha Site. (8.08 "Covenant")<br />
<br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
Although not mentioned specifically, when SG-1 discovers the Ancient Timeship, Carter implies that the plan is to "bring it back." She then explains that the ship is the right dimenions to fly through the stargate. The standard operating procedure would indicate it should go to the Alpha site (8.13 "It's Good to Be King")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by at least a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been at least three known Alpha Site locations and at least one additional Beta Site.<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis' doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escaped through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turned out to be this SGC's Alpha Site. (1.21 "There But the Grace of God")<br />
<br />
The Alpha and sites are chosen from addresses added to the Stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. (2.15 "The Fifth Race")<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North Western portion of America. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha site sits in a clearing close to the Stargate. The military issue quanset huts are arranged in a lose circle. The Rebel Jaffa make thier camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, several labratories and is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The Alpha List was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." It was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams" made up of about a dozen men and women each. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2)<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to perserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate Kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
===Getting Roommates===<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack. The surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegience")<br />

<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />

It was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams" made up of about a dozen men and women each. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2)<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to perserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate Kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''. (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2")<br />
<br />
===Getting Roommates===<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack. The surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate. (6.09 "Allegience")<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is armeggedon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation. General Hammond orders Col. O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. He claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." (5.17 "Failsafe")<br />
<br />
When the goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes. (6.02 "Redemption Part 1")<br />
<br />
This reference is questionable. Three months before Dr. Daniel Jackson returns, he witnesses Bratac and Ryac attempting to return to an Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Were they attempting to return to the first Alpha Site or had the site already been relocated? Later Col. O'Neill relocates the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site, but this could be assumed to be the second (7.04 "Orpheus")<br />
<br />
<br />
===Abandoning the first Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
The SGC abandoned the first Alpha Site sometime after Jonas Quinn was captured and his mind probed by Anubis. (7.02 "Homecoming") <br />
<br />
===Destruction of the Second Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Maj. Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new Supersoldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the Stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Riley, commander of the Alpha site, orders an evacuation to the Beta site. A Kull warrior was left to find and finish off the survivors.<br />
<br />
At the time the site was destroyed there were more than 90 people occupying the site. (The Beta site reports 90 people missing.) It is unknown what the exact mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri were during this occupation, but from the discussion between the Tok'ra Daleg and Hammon we know that of the 90 reported missing, 77 were human, 5 Tokra, and that leaves 8 Jaffa.<br />
<br />
SG-1, SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (commanded by Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned on a rescue mission to the Alpha Site. They discover Major Green, the base's second-in-command and a dozen survivors.<br />
<br />
General Hammond ordered an investigation of the leak that exposed the Alpha Site, which revealed a growing distrust between the Jaffa, Tok'ra, and Tau'ri. The investigation did not reveal the source of the leak.<br />
<br />
The Tok'ra use the excuse of their dwindling numbers to withdraw from the Alliance. Although still allies, the Rebel Jaffa chose to start their own coloney rather than continue to live under the protection of the Tau'ri.<br />
(7.22 "Death Knell") It is assumed that neither Jaffa nor Tok'ra followed the SGC to the Third Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===The Third Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the Second Alpha Site, a third Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it is the Beta site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
<br/> <br />
http://wiki.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/images/thumb/e/ec/178px-80806.jpg<br />
<br />
A second Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility, science lab, and a large hanger to house the F-302s.<br />
<br />
The gateroom is much smaller than the SGC's gateroom and does not appear to have a seperate control room. A DHD sits in the gateroom, but the gate is controlled by computers on a desk only a few yards from the gate. A seperate secondary control room with a starmap is located nearby, but not adjacent to the gateroom. <br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under the mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. Huge blast doors protect the hanger, and outside the base is a large landing pad. It is apparently normal to have a few trucks parked outside.<br />
<br />
More of the Alpha Site is revealed when the Replicator-Carter comes to our galaxy and Col. Carter brings her to the Alpha Site for questioning. (8.11 "Gemini"). For security, Col Carter recommends that the Alpha Site is reduced to a "Skeleton crew, security personnel only," but there are clearly at least 4 technicians still on site while Col. Carter and Replicator-Carter are working on modifying the Ancient disruptor weapon.<br />
<br />
===Additional References to the Third Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site. (7.20 "Lost City Part 1")<br />
<br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate systemwas disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. (7.09 "Avenger 2.0")<br />
<br />
While the SGC is in lockdown, due to Col. Vasilav's mysterious condition, General O'Neill sends the off-planet teams to the Alpha Site. (8.03 "Lockdown"<br />
<br />
When industrialist/philanthropist Alec Colson needs to be convinced that the Stargate program is worth keeping a secret, so he gets a tour of the base and a joy-ride in a F-302. When the Trust destroys his credibility and life, he is offered permanent residence at the Alpha Site. (8.08 "Covenant")<br />
<br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer. (8.10 "Endgame")<br />
<br />
Although not mentioned specifically, when SG-1 discovers the Ancient Timeship, Carter implies that the plan is to "bring it back." She then explains that the ship is the right dimenions to fly through the stargate. The standard operating procedure would indicate it should go to the Alpha site (8.13 "It's Good to Be King")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by at least a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been two Alpha Site locations and an additional Beta Site.<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis' doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escaped through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turned out to be this SGC's Alpha Site. <br/> <br />
'''1.21 "There But the Grace of God"'''<br />
<br />
The Alpha and sites are chosen from addresses added to the Stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. <br/> <br />
'''2.15 "The Fifth Race"'''<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North Western portion of America. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha site sits in a clearing close to the Stargate. The military issue quanset huts are arranged in a lose circle. The Rebel Jaffa make thier camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, several labratories and is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />

===The Second Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the First Alpha Site, a second Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it is the Beta site or an entirely new site.<br />

<br />
A second Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility and a large hanger to house the F-304s. Outside the base is a large landing pad.<br />
<br />
The new location is considerably more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under the mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay. Oddly enough, the Stargate on the Alpha Site does not appear to have an iris.<br />
<br />

It was in use at least three months before Dr. Jackson decended, as we know that Bratac and Ryac were attempting to return to the Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Later Col. O'Neill relocated the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site. <br />

<br />
'''8.10 "Endgame"''' <br/> <br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by at least a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-302 pilots and their mechanics, and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been two Alpha Site locations and an additional Beta Site.<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis' doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escaped through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turned out to be this SGC's Alpha Site. <br/> <br />
'''1.21 "There But the Grace of God"'''<br />
<br />
The Alpha and sites are chosen from addresses added to the Stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. <br/> <br />
'''2.15 "The Fifth Race"'''<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North Western portion of America. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha site sits in a clearing close to the Stargate. The military issue quanset huts are arranged in a lose circle. The Rebel Jaffa make thier camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, several labratories and is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The Alpha List was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." It was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams" made up of about a dozen men and women each. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC. <br\><br />
'''2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2"'''<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to perserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate Kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''.<br />
<br\> <br />
'''2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2"'''<br />
<br />
===Getting Roommates===<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack. The surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate.<br/><br />

===Additional References to the First Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
'''5.17 "Fail Safe"''' <br/> <br />
A giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth! It is armeggedon! By order of the President, the "Alpha Team" is evacuated to the Alpha Site. Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation.General Hammond orders Col. O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. he claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." <br />
<br />
'''6.01 "Redemption Part 1"''' <br/> <br />
When the goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Destruction of the first Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Maj. Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new Supersoldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the Stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Reynolds, commander of the site, ordered an evacuation to the Beta site. A Kull warrior was left to find and finish off the survivors.<br />
<br />
During this time, Colonel Reynolds was in command of the Alpha site, and Major Green was the second-in-command of the Alpha Site. SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
By the time the site was destroyed there were at least 90 people occupying the site. It is unknown what the mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra and Tau'ri were.<br />
<br />
The destruction of the Alpha Site also signaled the end of the Tok'ra alliance.<br />

The Alpha Sites are safe-havens to which Earth's population can evacuate and where the Tok'ra and Jaffa resistance fighters are based. They also serves as an off-world labratory and a back up facility for off-world teams when the SGC is not available. <br />
<br />
There have been two Alpha Site locations and an additional Beta Site.<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
<br />
The first mention of an alternate site was when Dr. Daniel Jackson was transported to an alternate SGC. In that AU, the Earth was under attack and the leading scientists and politicians were being sent off world to a "Beta Site" for safety. <br />
<br />
It is possible that this gave the SGC the idea. When Aphophis's ships approach Earth, people are evacuated to an Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
Later, to escape Aphophis' doomed ship, Dr. Jackson escaped through the stargate to the same address, P3X 984, which turned out to be this SGC's Alpha Site. <br/> <br />
'''1.21 "There But the Grace of God"'''<br />
<br />
The Alpha and sites are chosen from addresses added to the Stargate dialing program by Col. O'Neill when he possessed the Ancient's knowledge. These addresses are not known by the Goa'uld. <br/> <br />
'''2.15 "The Fifth Race"'''<br />
<br />
Protocol dictates that if a team cannot return to Earth, they are to proceed to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
===Description of the Alpha Site (P3X-984)===<br />
<br />
The first Alpha Site looks remarkably like the North Western portion of America. Filled with pine trees, the Alpha site sits in a clearing close to the Stargate. The military issue quanset huts are arranged in a lose circle. The Rebel Jaffa make thier camp, nearby. The base includes an infirmary, a lockdown, several labratories and is powered by a naquadah reactor. <br />
<br />
===Moving In===<br />
<br />
The first record of a mass assignment to the Alpha Site was during Aphophis's attack on Earth. The Alpha List was compiled of the "best we have in all fields of expertise." It was made up of at least 13 "Alpha Teams" made up of about a dozen men and women each. Major Castleman coordinated the move from the Alpha Site with Tech Sgt. Harriman coordinating from the SGC.<br />
'''2.01 "The Serpent's Lair Part 2"'''<br />
<br />
===Hammond's Speech to the Alpha List===<br />
''Ladies and Gentleman, as you have all been made aware this nation, the entire world, faces a deadly threat. With this knowledge, you have all volunteered for a mission intended to perserve human kind. You have been chosen because you represent the best we have in all fields of expertise. What you have not been told, for reasons of security, is where you're going or how you are going to get there. [Stargate Kawooshes!] You're going to step through that [the Stargate] Once through the Stargate, you will find yourself on the opposite side of this galaxy. A place we call the Alpha Site. If we do not prevail, you, and those that follow, will call it "home". A new colony. Godspeed''.<br/> <br />

===Getting Roommates===<br />
<br />
Escaping yet another Tok'ra base under attack. The surviving Tok'ra, including Jacob Carter/Selmac, arrive at the Alpha Site under fire. The Tok'ra are not impressed with the very basic living conditions of the base and tension on the base is high. Chaos breaks out when several Jaffa and Tok'ra are killed. It is discovered that an Ashrak, a Goa'uld assasin is in their midst. When Bratac kills the Ashrak he extorts the three groups to cooperate.<br/><br />

Major Paul Davis coordinates the evacuation.General Hammond orders Col. O'Neill to take command of the Alpha Site if he should survive his mission and Earth does not. Dr. Janet Fraiser, Tech Sgt. Walter Harriman, and the three engineers that repaired the Alkesh on Revanna, including Spellman, were also evacuated the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
General Hammond refused to abandon his post. he claimed that "If that asteroid hits, the only chance for the survival of the human race will rest with the Alpha site. We limited their number because they'll have limited resources. Everyone will have to contribute." <br />
<br />
'''6.01 "Redemption Part 1"''' <br/> <br />
When the goa'uld Sokar attempts to tie up the gate by maintaining a constant wormhole, Carter programs the dialing computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole closes.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Destruction of the first Alpha Site===<br />
<br />
Maj. Samantha Carter and her father, Jacob Carter, were developing a new weapon to defend against the new Supersoldiers. The site was attacked by a fleet of ships and subsequently destroyed. The buildings were razed to the ground and the Stargate was thrown off its base. Colonel Reynolds, commander of the site, ordered an evacuation to the Beta site. A Kull warrior was left to find and finish off the survivors.<br />
<br />
During this time, Colonel Reynolds was in command of the Alpha site, and Major Green was the second-in-command of the Alpha Site. SG-11 (commanded by Col. Edwards), SG-3 (Col. Reynolds), and SG-21 were assigned to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
By the time the site was destroyed there were at least 90 people occupying the site. It is unknown what the mix of Jaffa, Tok'ra and Tau'ri were.<br />
<br />
The destruction of the Alpha Site also signaled the end of the Tok'ra alliance.<br />
'''7.22 "Death Knell"''' <br />
<br />
===The Second Alpha Site (P4X-650)===<br />
<br />
With the destruction of the First Alpha Site a second Alpha Site was selected from the list of Ancient gate addresses. It is not known if it is the Beta site or an entirely new site.<br />
<br />

<br />
A second Alpha Site was built on P4X-650, some 640 light years away from Earth. It is inside a mountain and contains several chambers including living quarters, a command center, a Stargate room, a medical facility and a large hanger to house the F-304s. Outside the base is a large landing pad.<br />
<br />
The new location is considered more secure than the original Alpha Site with the entire facility hidden under the mountain, including the F-302 hanger bay.<br />
<br />

'''7.04 "Orpheus"''' <br/> <br />
It was in use at least three months before Dr. Jackson decended, as we know that Bratac and Ryac were attempting to return to the Alpha site when they were captured on Erebus. Later Col. O'Neill relocated the rescued Jaffa slaves to the Alpha Site. <br />
<br />
'''7.20 "Lost City Part 1"''' <br/> <br />
During Anubis's attack of Earth, Vice-President Kinsey attempted to escape to the Alpha Site.<br />

'''7.09 "Avenger 2.0"''' <br/> <br />
During the "Avenger" virus debacle, when the gate systemwas disabled, Dr. Jackson evacuated the inhabitants of P3L-997 to the Alpha Site. <br />
<br />
'''8.03 "Lockdown"''' <br/> <br />
While the SGC is in Lockdown, due to Col. Vasilav's mysterious condition, the off-planet teams are sent to the Alpha Site.<br />
<br />
'''8.08 "Covenant"''' <br/> <br />
When industrialist/philanthropist Alec Colson needs to be convinced that the Stargate program is worth keeping a secret, he gets a tour of the base and a ride in a F-302. <br />
<br />
'''8.10 "Endgame"''' <br/> <br />
After the Trust steals the Stargate, the off-world teams, including Teal'c on a diplomatic mission to the rebel Jaffa, follow protocol and head to the Alpha Site. Colonel Pearce was the commanding officer and Dr. Harris the medical officer.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Alpha site is active. It is manned by at least a small contingent of Air Force personnel, including F-304 pilots and their mechanics. . . and one displaced billionaire, Alec Colson.<br />

<div>[[Category:Earth]][[Image:antarctic-outpost.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Antarctic Outpost]]<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Antarctic Outpost is a defense facility left behind by the Ancients when they took their<br />
city-ship "Atlantis" to the Pegasus Galaxy. It is the site of powerful weapons which led<br />
to the destruction of Anubis' attacking fleet. (7.22 "Lost City Part 2")<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />
{|<br />

|valign="top"|[[Image:frozen-jack.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Jack in Cryogenic Chamber]]<br />
|}<br />
The Antarctic Outpost was discovered by SG-1 while Col. O'Neill possessed the <br />
knowledge of the Ancients (7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2"). <br />
As its name implies, it is located in the Antarctic. Although its exact location <br />
is not known, it is accessible by helicopter from McMurdo Station. It <br />
would be assumed to be in the same proximity as the SGC's research station <br />
at the original location of the Antarctic Stargate, which is only 50 miles out <br />
of McMurdo Station and the location of the only known Ancient, Ayiana (1.18 "Solitudes",<br />
6.04 "Frozen").<br />
<br />
Originally near the location of the city of Atlantis, which is now in the <br />
Pegasus Galaxy, the Antarctic Outpost appears to be some sort of defense <br />
outpost.<br />
<br />
The most prominent features of the outpost are the chair and a cryogenic <br />
chamber. The chair occupies a central circular chamber with the cryo <br />
chamber off to the side.<br />
<br />
===Defense Weapons===<br />
{|<br />

|valign="top"|[[Image:72207.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Anubis' fleet is destroyed by drones]]<br />
|}<br />
Colonel O'Neill first activated the Antarctic Outpost's defenses during the <br />
battle with Anubis (7.22 "Lost City Part 2"). First, he powered the Outpost <br />
using the Zero Point Module (ZPM) procured at the Praclarush Taonas <br />
Outpost, the original Antarctic Outpost ZPM being dead. From the chair, he <br />
was able to launch and control hundreds of drones, which destroyed Anubis <br />
and his fleet. Drained by the effort and overcome by the knowledge of the <br />
Ancients, O'Neill used a cryogenic chamber to put himself into a suspended <br />
sleep.<br />
<br />
===Initial Manning of the Outpost===<br />

|valign="top"|[[Image:antarctic-outpost-research.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Research at the Outpost]]<br />
|}<br />
Over the course of the next few months, O'Neill remained "frozen" at the <br />
Outpost. Although a presence was set up immediately, full control of the <br />
Outpost could not be negotiated for several months. Dr. Elizabeth Weir, on <br />
behalf of the SGC, had difficulty negotiating the <br />
military occupation of the Antarctic Outpost (8.01 "New Order Part 1"). According to the <br />
International Antarctic Treaty established in 1961, "The primary purpose of the Antarctic <br />
Treaty is to ensure in the interests of all mankind that Antarctica shall <br />
continue forever to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not <br />
become the scene or object of international discord. To this end it <br />
prohibits military activity, except in support of science; prohibits <br />
nuclear explosions and the disposal of nuclear waste; promotes scientific <br />
research and the exchange of data; and holds all territorial claims in <br />
abeyance."<br />
<br />
It wasn't until Col. O'Neill was revived and <br />
subsequently cured by the Asgard that a scientific expedition was sent, led <br />
by Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Dr. Daniel Jackson, the premiere authority on the <br />
Ancient culture and language, accompanied the expedition in hopes of <br />
unraveling the secrets of the Outpost and discovering how to use its <br />
resources to protect Earth from further invasion. (8.02 "New Order Part 2", ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")<br />
<br />
The Antarctic Outpost is overseen by the Department of Homeworld Security, lead by <br />
Lt. Gen. George Hammond, and was initially staffed by an international team of scientists <br />
and technicians. A small number of U.S. Air Force personnel also accompanied the <br />
expedition.<br />
<br />
A dome was erected over the Outpost. Several buildings, used for storage occupy the ground level. A cargo elevator was installed in the shaft created by the souped up Rings used to access the site initially. <br />
Several hundred feet below, the Outpost, now powered by a naquadah generator, has <br />
been divided into laboratories. The main areas of research are translating <br />
the Ancient text, led by Dr. Jackson; interfacing with the Ancient <br />
technology led by Dr. Rodney McKay; weapons systems led by Dr. Peter <br />
Grodin; and undisclosed genetic research led by Dr. Carson Beckett. The Air <br />
Force has a military contingent, including pilots.<br />
<br />

|valign="top"|[[Image:sheppard-chair.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Maj. Sheppard in chair]]<br />

Dr. Beckett confirmed that to activate the chair, the user required a <br />
"Ancient's" gene, which he happens to have. "They think the gene was used <br />
as a sort of genetic key if you will. So that only their kind could operate <br />
certain dangerous and powerful technologies." There are a "handful" of <br />
people with this gene, but Colonel O'Neill, Major John Sheppard, and Dr. <br />
Carson Beckett are the only subjects known to activate it with varying <br />
degrees of success.<br />
<br />
Dr. Beckett was able to "power" the chair up once, and then accidentally <br />
activated one of the defense drones. With considerable concentration, he was <br />
barely able to stop the machine from destroying General O'Neill's <br />
helicopter.<br />
<br />
Major John Sheppard, on the other hand, turned out to have a strong <br />
affinity for the machine and was able to activate the chair easily and <br />
produced a three-dimensional map of the solar system with only a thought.<br />

Dr. Daniel Jackson discovered during his tenure at the Antarctic Outpost <br />
that the Outpost was all that was left of "Atlantis", which is <br />
the "Lost City" mentioned in the Ancient text discovered on Abydos. In his <br />
translations, he discovered that for unknown reasons, the occupants "left," <br />
taking the city with them to the Pegasus Galaxy. Dr. Jackson was able to <br />
reproduce an eight-symbol 'gate address' that would open a Stargate to the new <br />
Atlantis location.<br />
<br />
The President of the United States, Henry Hayes, determined that an expedition to the <br />
Pegasus Galaxy would reap more rewards than continued research at the <br />
Antarctic Outpost. Dr. Weir was given the civilian lead of the project and <br />
led 40+ men and women through the Stargate to the Pegasus Galaxy. Dr. Grodin, Dr. McKay, Dr. <br />
Beckett, and Maj. Sheppard accompanied her. This effort cost the ZPM the <br />
last of its power and it is now expended. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")<br />
<br />
===Current Status===<br />
<br />
The current status of the Antarctic Outpost is unclear, but with the <br />
majority of the scientists familiar with Ancient technology, including two of <br />
the only three people known to successfully activate the chair sent to <br />
Atlantis, it appears to either have been abandoned or on minimum occupancy. <br />
Certainly without a working ZPM, it is of no military value.<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Antarctic Outpost is a defense facility left behind by the Ancients when they took their<br />
city-ship "Atlantis" to the Pegasus Galaxy. It is the site of powerful weapons which led<br />
to the destruction of Anubis' attacking fleet. (7.22 "Lost City Part 2")<br />
<br />
==Stargate References==<br />
===Location and Purpose===<br />

|}<br />
The Antarctic Outpost was discovered by SG-1 while Col. O'Neill possessed the <br />
knowledge of the Ancients (7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2"). <br />
As its name implies, it is located in the Antarctic. Although its exact location <br />
is not known, it is accessible by helicopter from McMurdo Station. It <br />
would be assumed to be in the same proximity as the SGC's research station <br />
at the original location of the Antarctic Stargate, which is only 50 miles out <br />
of McMurdo Station and the location of the only known Ancient, Ayiana (1.18 "Solitudes",<br />
6.04 "Frozen").<br />
<br />
Originally near the location of the city of Atlantis, which is now in the <br />
Pegasus Galaxy, the Antarctic Outpost appears to be some sort of defense <br />
outpost.<br />
<br />
The most prominent features of the outpost are the chair and a cryogenic <br />
chamber. The chair occupies a central circular chamber with the cryo <br />
chamber off to the side.<br />
<br />
===Defense Weapons===<br />

|valign="top"|[[Image:72207.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Anubis' fleet is destroyed by drones]]<br />
|}<br />
Colonel O'Neill first activated the Antarctic Outpost's defenses during the <br />
battle with Anubis (7.22 "Lost City Part 2"). First, he powered the Outpost <br />
using the Zero Point Module (ZPM) procured at the Praclarush Taonas <br />
Outpost, the original Antarctic Outpost ZPM being dead. From the chair, he <br />
was able to launch and control hundred of drones, which destroyed Anubis <br />
and his fleet. Drained by the effort and overcome by the knowledge of the <br />
Ancients, O'Neill used a cryogenic chamber to put himself into a suspended <br />
sleep.<br />
<br />
===Initial Manning of the Outpost===<br />

|valign="top"|[[Image:antarctic-outpost-research.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Research at the Outpost]]<br />
|}<br />
Over the course of the next few months, O'Neill remained "frozen" at the <br />
Outpost. Although a presence was set up immediately, full control of the <br />
Outpost could not be negotiated for several months. Dr. Elizabeth Weir, on <br />
behalf of the SGC, had difficulty negotiating the <br />
military occupation of the Antarctic Outpost (8.01 "New Order Part 1"). According to the <br />
International Antarctic Treaty established in 1961, "The primary purpose of the Antarctic <br />
Treaty is to ensure in the interests of all mankind that Antarctica shall <br />
continue forever to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not <br />
become the scene or object of international discord. To this end it <br />
prohibits military activity, except in support of science; prohibits <br />
nuclear explosions and the disposal of nuclear waste; promotes scientific <br />
research and the exchange of data; and holds all territorial claims in <br />
abeyance."<br />
<br />
It wasn't until Col. O'Neill was revived and <br />
subsequently cured by the Asgard that a scientific expedition was sent, led <br />
by Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Dr. Daniel Jackson, the premiere authority on the <br />
Ancient culture and language, accompanied the expedition in hopes of <br />
unraveling the secrets of the Outpost and discovering how to use its <br />
resources to protect Earth from further invasion. (8.02 "New Order Part 2", ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")<br />
<br />
The Antarctic Outpost is overseen by the Department of Homeworld Security, lead by <br />
Lt. Gen. George Hammond, and was initially staffed by an international team of scientists <br />
and technicians. A small number of U.S. Air Force personnel also accompanied the <br />
expedition.<br />
<br />
A dome was erected over the Outpost. Several buildings, used for storage occupy the ground level. A cargo elevator was installed in the shaft created by the souped up Rings used to access the site initially. <br />
Several hundred feet below, the Outpost, now powered by a naquadah generator, has <br />
been divided into laboratories. The main areas of research are translating <br />
the Ancient text, led by Dr. Jackson; interfacing with the Ancient <br />
technology led by Dr. Rodney McKay; weapons systems led by Dr. Peter <br />
Grodin; and undisclosed genetic research led by Dr. Carson Beckett. The Air <br />
Force has a military contingent, including pilots.<br />
