Scorched Earth - Eposode #74
The SG-1 team gets caught between two different civilizations trying to colonize the same planet.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- There is no stargate on the Enkaran home world. The Goa'uld kidnapped the Enkaran ancestors by ship to a new world. When faced with disaster on this world, they were transported by the SGC to build hundreds of villages on P5S-381. The Enkarans require a dense ozone layer to protect against radiation since even low levels of radiation can cause blindness and death.
- The Gadmeer, whose physiology is based on sulfur, were an advanced and peaceful race who fell victim to a superior military power. They placed their legacy, all their knowledge from 10,000 years of civilization, into the ship, looking for a new home world to colonize.
- The alien ship terraforms the planet by destroying all native organisms and replacing them with microbes which bond with the sulfur leached out of the soil and relase sulfur dioxide as they decay, thus creating an environment to support an organic system based on sulfur rather than carbon. The ship is 2 miles in diameter and the curtain of energy stretches over 20 miles. Once the terraforming process has begun, it must be completed.
- Lotan is a bio-mechanical representation of the Enkarans, assembled to facilitate communication between the Gadmeer ship and the Enkarans.
- SG-5, 6, and 9 are looking for suitable alternative home worlds.
- If a feedback loop is created within a naquadah reactor, it will build up energy rather than releasing it and create a powerful bomb.
