==Background==
During the Cold War, the United States of America and the Soviet Union both invested large amounts of money into developing Espers for military purposes, with the Stargate Project being the American effort.
However the people involved in the project apparently had little idea of what they were doing, repeating large-scale experiments over and over again, not knowing if the readings and results qualified as success or failure. In the end, the funding was wasted and the project ended in failure.
==Chronology==
===Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume SS2===
The project leader, George Kingdom, obtaining a list compiled by the CIA of all the Gemstones in the world, set about executing a plan to seize them and research their powers via over fifty independent institutions in order to succeed where the Stargate Project failed.Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume SS2 Chapter 19 However this plan was thwarted due to Kumokawa Seria mobilizing the Sisters to destroy the research institutions and rescue the Gemstones, and he was subsequently assassinated by Kinuhata Saiai.
