Information About

Sg Team




The program is run from Stargate Command (also, "the SGC"), whose mission it is to guard and use the Stargate , an alien device discovered in Egypt on Earth, the function of which was later discovered as allowing instantaneous travel between similar devices scattered on planets throughout the cosmos. After the alien race known as the Goa'uld became a threat to Earth, the Stargate went into use to help protect Earth.

When Stargate Command was formed there were 9 SG teams created and at present there are at least 22, each expansion likely requested through Major Davis , as it was in " Into The Fire ". The majority of the teams are US Air Force , with some Marines , civilians and, recently, other countries' military as the existence of the Stargate was revealed to other countries (the first were the Russians, agreed to in " Redemption (Part 2) ", first seen in " Metamorphosis "). A very few alien beings ( Teal'c and Jonas Quinn ) have also been allowed to join. Listed below are the special designation teams noted thus far in the series.


SG TEAM DESIGNATIONS



Other Team Designations


  • 1st SFW — There is also at least one wing of F-302 pilots, although they are not truly an SG team. It is not made clear what SFW actually means, but it is possibly Stargate Fighter Wing or something similar.23



STARGATE ATLANTIS

The spin-off series Stargate Atlantis also features several offworld exploration teams. At least three permanent teams have been mentioned;
  • Sheppard 's team. Originally led by Major John Sheppard, and consisting of Teyla Emmagan , Lt. Aiden Ford and Dr. Rodney McKay . After Ford escaped custody under the effect of the Wraith enzyme, Atteria n Specialist Ronon Dex was found on a planet Sheppard's team was visiting, and became part of the team.

  • Stackhouse 's team. Originally led by Sgt. Stackhouse. Since the arrival of a USMC contingent from Earth, Stackhouse may have been replaced as the team's leader. Assuming, that is, he's not dead.

  • Bates ' team. Originally led by Sgt. Bates. Since Bates was injured and presumably shipped back to Earth, its unknown whether someone else took command or if the team was disbanded.

  • Maj. Lorne appears to have a team of his own now, as well.


There have also been several specialist teams put together for individual mission (for example, the Anthropologist team in Suspicion , and the Marine search teams in Runner ).
There have been no official team designations mentioned thus far on the show, however director and creative consultant will start assigning missions to F.A.R.T., S.A.R.T. and T.A.R.T.)


OTHER TEAM DESIGNATIONS

  • 1st TFW(Wraithwaxers) — There is also at least one wing of F-302 pilots onboard the Deadalus, although they are not truly an Atlantis team. It is not made clear what TFW actually means.24
