In cases of imminent threat to Earth a selection of dignities, now normally senior IOA members, are evacuated to the Alpha Site. Standard procedure is to have off world teams report to the Alpha Site if unable to connect to the SGC when returning from missions. It includes a hangar capable of maintaining and servicing F-302s. It orbits very near a gas giant and possess at least one moon.įollowing the destruction of the SGC's second Alpha Site by Anubis, the third such base was built into a mountain much like the SGC, with the Stargate placed inside.
Type: Advanced Outpost, Military Outpost, Fall Back Point.Ī planet in the Milky Way 640 light years from Earth, without any indigenous population, which was chosen by Stargate Command for a permanent base of operations.
Also Known As: Alpha Site (Milky Way III), Third Alpha Site, Alpha Site (MW-III). This base was also forced to use the self-destruct bomb when Kull warriors attacked the planet. The Second Alpha Site was a planet in the Milky Way galaxy which was used as the Tau'ri's second Alpha Site when their old one was compromised by Anubis. Type: Military Outpost, Fall Back Point. Also Known As: Alpha Site (Milky Way II), Second Alpha Site, Alpha Site (MW-II). It was abandoned after Anubis learned its location from mind probing Jonas Quinn. Both Rebel Jaffa and Tok'ra used this place as refuge and it was an attempt to establish an alliance between the three groups. P3X-984 was a planet in the Milky Way galaxy where the First Alpha Site was located. Type: Military Outpost, Fall Back Point, Alliance Site. Also Known As: Alpha Site (Milky Way I), First Alpha Site, Alpha Site (MW-I). For bases with multiple version (such as the Alpha Site) roman numerals are added to the end.Īlpha Site is traditionally the designation for the paramount off world base and the one that is large enough and secure enough to evacuate to. However smaller bases, or limited function bases (such as mining operations) may not be given a name, and simply use the planetary designation.
Now there are many OWBs in both the Milky Way and Pegasus Galaxies, traditional given either NATO Phonetic letter codes or Greek alphabet names, such as Alpha, Echo or Lambda Site. Later as they became more advanced and fear of an attack on Earth grew they were used as emergency evacuation sites, and on several occasions high ranking diplomats and later, high ranking IOA members have evacuated. Originally they were off world military posts used as back ups should a team not be able to return to Earth. They differ from Major Bases like the SGC and Atlantis due to their size and compliment. Off-World Bases or OWBs are smaller installations build on other planets.
