Basically, this outline sets the stage for Stargate: Infinity, based on the journies of three tau'ri ships, the destiny, the infinity and the prophecy. It takes place in the caleum galaxy, said to be the last place of refuge for the ancients. For those of you who read the short-lived threadThe caleum chronicles, some of this will sound familiar, some of it will have changed, and some of it will have been deleted all together. I wont explain it all here because you can just check out the site above to get most of the info. please! tell me what you think, whether you like it or not, and what questions you have. oh yeah, one cool thing about the caleum galaxy, the chevrons glow white on the stargate. i know its kind of long, but, i cant condense my ideas into just a paragraph or two.
Close to 10,000 years ago, a small, secret group of Ancients, the last of their kind, came to the Caleum Galaxy from earth, after fleeing the Wraith in Atlantis, by way of a great ship, one which was lost , never to have been seen again. Upon their arrival, they established a starbase in an area known as the Caleum Fog, where they attempted to rebuild their once powerful society. It is known, that for a short time, the Ancients moved outside of their territory, and were able to establish a sizeable Stargate network among thousands of worlds. One which could be accessed onboard ships, even if the ship is not in orbit around a planet. But close to 4000 years ago, it is rumored, that all Ancient activity ceased, and the last threads of their civilization lost. At around the same time, a new race, known as the Anterac began to appear in the place of the Ancients, starting to take control of small pieces of the galaxy.
In the beginning of their rule, the Anterac, a race of “dark” beings, with supernatural powers, mastered the science of genetic engineering, using their skills to create the strongest warriors known in that part of the universe. With their armies, the Anterac soldiers scoured thousands of worlds, using the Stargate technology to do so. Within several thousand years, the Anterac had grown to dominate the majority of the Caleum Galaxy, and had made a number of enemies, although, none of them could measure up to the level of power of the Anterac.
The real secret behind the Anterac is this: many thousands of years ago, as the Ancients were perfecting ascension, a somewhat rogue scientist, known as Dalomir, researched different methods by which Ancients could ascend, all of which had been disapproved by the Ancient Council of Science. So, in effect, his work was illegal, although he claimed it was for science, and science alone. After many years of testing and researching, Dalomir was ready to test his experiment; to ascend to the most perfect form of being, even higher than that of Oma Desala and many other Ancients. But since his work was deemed illegal, he could trust no one to perform it on, but himself.
His experiment was a success, but instead of ascending like other Ancients, he “descended” to a form of being unlike any before. A being who could interfere with the universe, much unlike the ascended ones. Once the descension process was complete, Dalomir’s mind was corrupted, and was bent by his primal urges for power. Realizing what powers he possessed, he unleashed on the Ancients his full potential, destroying entire worlds at a time, killing millions, forcing the Ancients into a war that would last close to a thousand years.
With his few Ancient followers, Dalomir began to dominate the Caleum Galaxy, pushing the Ancients further into their original region of the galaxy, and finally to the original starbase from which they began again their civilization. The only reason this happened was that the Ancient council refused to grant necessary powers to the Ascendants which would let them make war on Dalomir and his servants, even though the majority of the Ancients had ascended by that time. But in one last effort, Oma Desala, leader of the Ascended, granted them their powers, and in a final battle at what is known as Genesis Starbase, the largest battle ever waged took place between the ascended and the descended. But, it was too late, and the
Ancients, too few in number, were massacred by Dalomir’s once-Ancient forces. Ironically, Dalomir was one of the first to perish.
And so 4000 years ago, the victorious Anterac took control of the Caleum Galaxy, and have been the enemy of it’s people ever since. But little to the knowledge of the Anterac, a small group ascended Ancients still exists in the galaxies where they once ruled, including the Milky Way, Pegasus, and even the Caleum galaxy, only, in the Caleum Galaxy, these ascended ones still have the powers once granted by Desala, (desala was not in the battle) but are too few to be of any consequence. Not many races of the Caleum Galaxy know this secret, and the Anterac will kill to keep it that way. The anterac are now few in number, but their genetically engineered soldiers, the gorbold, can be found on may worlds, lying in wait.
Although the Anterac control much of the Caleum Galaxy, there are still those who resist their tyranny, and those who do not even know of them. The strongest of these powers is known as “the alliance”. Made up of the most advanced human powers, the Alliance has been around for nearly 50 years, resisting the Anterac and their warriors at every turn. These powers are specifically, the Durosian, most advanced of the alliance, the Marntu, masters of robotics, the Teledar, a nomadic people, the Steruc, third most advanced of the alliance, the Talloran, an offshoot of humans, and most recently, a small number of Tau’ri, a race from a distance galaxy known as the Milky Way who are searching for the last of the Ancients. This alliance protects the lesser humans of the galaxy whenever possible.
Recently, these Tau’ri have been exploring the galaxy with three ships, not quite as advanced as the rest of those in the alliance. They quickly allied themselves with the Talloran, and just as quickly encountered the Anterac, as well as the Replicators, who arrived only several years before. Ever since the Tau’ri appeared, the Anterac have heightened their efforts to destroy the alliance, as if they do not want the Tau’ri to find what they are searching for.
