"They were a very advanced race compared to the Enkarans. However they were also peaceful..."

—Lotan

The Gadmeer, also spelled Gad-Meer, were an advanced alien race native to the Milky Way galaxy. They appeared to be a reptile-like species and were sulfur-based rather than carbon-based like humans.

HistoryEdit

The society of the Gadmeer was 10,000 years old and they were very peaceful. Over a thousand years ago they were defeated by a superior military power due to a lack of military technology and tactics, and thus their race apparently died out. To prevent their culture from vanishing they built a giant vessel which stored all their knowledge, including arts, mathematics and even thousands of DNA samples of the plants and animals of their homeworld.

This ship then searched for another world which would be similar to their original homeworld and over time it scanned many millions of planets. Ultimately it found a world called P5S-381 by Stargate Command, on which it performed a terraforming-like process so that the Gadmeer civilization could be reborn. It however turned out that the SGC had recently settled the Enkarans on this planet, which was the only known world reachable by Stargate on which the Enkarans could survive. Eventually, the planet was given to the Gadmeer, while the terraformer transported the Enkarans to their original home world. (SG1: "Scorched Earth")

TriviaEdit

• The Gadmeer look oddly like the Pokemon Mewtwo or the Aliens from Independence Day, although it's doubtful whether this was intended as a deliberate reference.
• Unlike humans, who are carbon-based, the Gadmeer are a sulfur-based lifeform.
