In the Rest of the Milky Way Galaxy
Following the defeat of the Ori, a fragile peace settled upon the Milky Way galaxy. The major powers, weary from conflict, began tentative talks towards a more formalized alliance. Yet, beneath the surface, tensions simmered, ready to erupt.
On Earth, the revelation of the Stargate program shattered the illusion of normalcy, unleashing a wave of unrest and distrust. The decades of secrecy surrounding the program fueled new conflicts, both political and religious. The existence of the Goa’uld, falsely worshipped as gods, ignited a resurgence of religious fervor in some, while others questioned the motives and authority of those who had concealed the truth for so long.
The Jaffa, newly liberated from Goa’uld oppression, faced their own internal struggles. A vocal minority, resistant to any association with the Tok’ra or their allies, sought to forge their own path. This internal strife escalated into open conflict, culminating in the formation of the Jaffa Federation, a breakaway faction that established its own territory and governance.
Meanwhile, the Hebridians, devastated by the Ori, experienced a remarkable resurgence with Earth’s support. Their expertise in manufacturing and technology proved invaluable, leading to a partnership that resulted in the construction of numerous shipyards across the galaxy. These shipyards, churning out advanced vessels based on Tau’ri and Hebridian designs, have bolstered the Stargate Union’s military and economic might.
The Lucian Alliance, ever opportunistic, seized the chaos as an opportunity to consolidate their power. They established a stranglehold on former Goa’uld territories, their vast fleet and ruthless tactics suppressing any dissent. The Alliance’s iron grip on their domains, fueled by a combination of coercion, economic incentives, and the exploitation of local resources, created a veneer of stability, but beneath the surface, resistance movements simmered.
In recent years, their territory has become a lawless frontier, a haven for smugglers, mercenaries, and those seeking to exploit the galaxy’s resources. Despite the Stargate Union’s attempts to isolate the Alliance through trade sanctions, their influence and access to advanced technology continue to grow. This looser grip has let a small resistance to develop. To survive, the resistance has adopted a more decentralized structure, fragmenting into isolated cells with limited communication. This has made them even more elusive and difficult to combat.
Amidst this shifting landscape, the Tok’ra have thrived, establishing a homeworld and integrating themselves into friendly societies like Pangar. Their expertise in symbiote technology and diplomacy remains a valuable asset to the Stargate Union.
However, a new and ominous threat has emerged, casting a shadow over the galaxy’s fragile peace. A mysterious force, wielding advanced Asgard-like vessels, has been attacking Goa’uld remnants and obliterating entire planets without warning. Their motives remain unknown, but their destructive capabilities and ruthless tactics have sent shockwaves throughout the galactic community, raising fears of a new and potentially devastating conflict.
In this era of uncertainty, the Stargate Union and its allies must navigate a complex web of alliances, rivalries, and emerging threats. The fate of the Milky Way hangs in the balance, as the forces of good and evil clash in a struggle for dominance.
