It took well over two years to find the exact conditions needed to dial the ninth chevron on the Stargate since the power requirements were beyond anything that Earth could feasibly provide, but the planet on which Icarus Base was established had what the Stargate Program sought. Dr. Nicholas Rush was the civilian scientist who led in the discovery of how to dial the ninth chevron while Col. Telford put together an expedition to go wherever the nine-symbol address led. But during a diplomatic tour with International Oversight Advisory (IOA) and United States Senate representatives, the Base was attacked and Telford was forced to order its evacuation through the Stargate to Earth. Col. Everett Young, the Base's commanding officer, led the defense and evacuation, but Rush deceptively dialed the ninth chevron instead and sent everyone to the Ancients' long-abandoned Destiny, a ship designed to explore the far reaches of the universe. Icarus Base was lost and those aboard Destiny had no way to return home.

Icarus Base was manned by personnel from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and civilian scientists working on the research project to determine the destination of the Stargate's ninth chevron.
