An Introduction to Stargate Universe
When the Stargate movie first released in 1994, nobody could imagine where this would lead. After this movie, 3 series and 2 movies were released. So, the question is what is Stargate? Stargate takes its power from the world's mythologies.
It all starts with an object discovered in Egypt years ago. It is a round object and there are symbols on it.But nobody couldn't figure out what is it. Until, Dr. Daniel Jackson solved its mystery. It is a gate opening to other worlds, across the galaxy.
Everything starts with this. That round object is the key to explore the galaxy. But evil was lying there. What would it be? Should we run to our beds and never speak of it again or should we face with the biggest discovery in the history of Mankind.
This story started with a team soldiers going through this gate. Stargate is a device when somebody or something enters it, the gate reduce matter into atoms and send it to the other side which there is also another gate, then in here the gate reconsruct information and voila! We are on a new planet. Amazing technology!
History of the Stargate Universe
The first Stargate movie came out on October 28, 1994 and everything started right there. This movie led to 3 series and 2 movies but these last 2 movies are not real cinema films but a few series episodes made movies. Still, they are great. The first movie, which I will call The Stargate from now on, starts with a discovery at Egypt. A round object with different symbols on it. It moved to a secure US military base located at Cheyenne Mountain. After much research, Dr. Daniel Jackson solved the mystery behind it. We will take a closer look how this device works and what it does. After the movie was released, 3 tv shows were aired which are Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. Also as I mentioned, there are 2 more movies which are Stargate The Ark Of Truth and Stargate Continuum. Besides those, there is one animated series called Stargate Infinity and a short series Stargate Origins.
Stargate SG1 introduces us a new species called Goa'uld. A parasitic species living inside humans and taking control of them. This is a true nighmare for humans. When this creature enters the body, it resides in the throat and suppresses the host’s personality. The host sees, hears, and experiences everything but has no control. This species are calls themselves gods. They created a servant species from humans called Jaffa. These Jaffa take Goa'uld symbiots and carry them for long time until they become adults. Jaffa serve and worship Goa'uld. Some Jaffa believe Goa'uld are not gods but they are afraid of speaking this because of punishment. But a Jaffa named Teal'c helps SG1 team to escape from Apophis and The story of Stargate SG1 begins. Stargate SG1 spans 10 seasons which is an amazing work. In these 10 seasons, The Earth started as a small power and grew into a galactic player. There are many different species we encountered but the most famous ones are Goa'uld, Asgard, Replicators, Ori and of course The Ancients, builders of Stargates.
After SG1's success, there comes Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. Atlantis starts with founding of well, Atlantis, lost city of the Ancients. It is a city ship located at Pegasus Galaxy. Our teams go there using Stargate but this requires massive amounts of energy. They encounter with Humans and another species called Wraiths. Wraith are a species that feed on humans, and their biology is partly insect-like.” This bug called Iratus bug are feeding on people. Wraith do that, too.
In Stargate Universe, we go far way. There is a ship called Destiny. This ship was build by The Ancients and launched from the Earth millions of years ago to find the secrets of the universe. The Ancients saw a pattern in the cosmic background radiation but It did not look like natural. They concluded that this pattern was created by a sentinent being or beings. They launched Destiny to find out who they were. Destiny travels the universe but before it, Desnity's sister ships plants planets with stargates and Destiny stops at them. One interesting part about Destiny is that Destiny draws power from stars themselves.
