A Dwarf Galaxy in the fictional Stargate universe. Pegasus Dwarf can refer to either a Satellite Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy or a member of the Local Group . Several million years ago, the Ancients , the builders of the Stargate network, fled Earth to settle in the Pegasus Galaxy, in an effort to escape a devastating plague that was destroying their race. For millions of years the Ancients (or Alterans, as they have been referred to) spread human life and prosperity throughout Pegasus, until they encountered a race of formidable aliens, the Wraith . The Wraith possessed technology and knowledge that rivaled that of the Ancients, and moved as a great scourge across the galaxy, feeding upon the life-force of the human populated worlds. After a war that lasted several centuries, the Ancients were forced to retreat back to their great City Of Atlantis , where they were besieged for many years, the powerful Wraith weaponry held back by the Atlantis defensive shield. Eventually all Ancients in the Pegasus galaxy were either killed or had Ascended, save for those within Atlantis, and the Ancients saw no reason to remain there. They shut down and submerged their city, and returned to Earth via the single Stargate in the Pegasus Galaxy capable of making the connection. All of these events took place 10,000 years before the arrival of the Earth Atlantis team. See also |
