Stargate program
From SGCommand
The Stargate Program is a secret military program that runs and coordinates the use of the Stargate in the United States of America. The Stargate Program in America is run by the Stargate Command located in Cheyenne Mountain. The program is now under the command of the International Oversight Advisory and Homeworld Security under the President of the United States. The program is also involved with operations in the Pegasus Galaxy and with Atlantis.
[edit] Purpose of the program
The primary intent of the Stargate program is exploration to procure knowledge and advanced technologies that could benefit the protection of Earth and to protect its inhabitants.
[edit] History
The discovery of the Earth Stargate near Giza prompted the US military along with key scientists (Catherine Langford, Daniel Jackson and others) to determine the purpose of the Stargate and how to activate it. This eventually lead to the Abydos Mission, which ended with Colonel Jack O'Neill destroying Ra with a naquadah enhanced nuclear bomb. The Stargate program was to be the primary objective of the US government but after what was essentially a failed mission to Abydos and without the help of Daniel Jackson, who remained on Abydos, the program was shut down. The gate was then moved to Cheyenne Mountain.
It later resumed when Apophis dialed Earth and kidnapped a female officer guarding the gate room as a proper host for his queen. Eventually, the stargate program had become into full effect with about 25 SG-teams. After ten years of procuring technologies, the Stargate program has been responsible for the procurement and advancements of ships, weaponry and defenses to protect the Earth from any potential threat.
