Arcadia is a remarkable Earth-like planet situated on the outer edge of the Milky Way, shrouded in secrecy from the prying eyes of the Goa'uld Empire. Handpicked as a prime candidate for the ambitious Arcadia Project, this world embodies the essence of a potential paradise with its captivating landscapes and favorable climate.

Across its vast terrains, Arcadia boasts an array of diverse biomes, including sprawling plains, lush forests spanning for kilometers, and pockets of arid deserts dotting its hemispheres. The planet's pristine environment supports a rich tapestry of flora and fauna, showcasing a remarkable variety of life forms. However, the planet's climate is subject to the influence of its neighboring star and the gravitational dance of its three orbiting moons.

What sets Arcadia apart is its unique orbital dynamics. The planet's elongated year, lasting 638 days and divided into 22 months, coupled with the 29-hour day, gives rise to a fascinating interplay of weather patterns and distinct seasons. The longer days give rise to intensified storms, while the extended summers and winters provide a formidable test for the survival strategies of the planet's resilient fauna.

During the initial survey, valuable mineral deposits including iron, copper, and naquadah were discovered, underscoring the resource potential crucial for the planned development of Arcadia. Additionally, traces of trinium, a highly sought-after element, were detected, albeit in limited quantities. Subsequent surveys, however, unveiled extensive trinium deposits on Arcadia's first moon, Arcadia Ⅰa, paving the way for promising prospects and further exploration.

## Arcadia Ⅰa

Unofficially known as "Alpha Colony", this moon experiences tidal locking, causing it to constantly face its parent planet's star during its orbit.

Due to this phenomenon, known as tidal locking, the moon's climate is significantly disrupted, resulting in extreme temperatures on its sunlit and dark sides. The sun-facing side experiences scorching heat, while the opposite side plunges into freezing cold. However, an intriguing feature of this moon is the presence of a twilight belt ring that divides it into two distinct regions.

Within the twilight belt, where the boundaries of light and shadow meet, a unique microclimate emerges, fostering the flourishing of diverse flora, fauna, and dynamic water cycles.

## Arcadia Ⅰb

Unofficially known as "Hot Spot", this enigmatic moon within the Arcadian System presents a captivating display of perpetual molten activity across its surface. The intense gravitational forces exerted upon it by neighboring celestial bodies contribute to the moon's dynamic geological state. The molten surface, constantly in flux, is an awe-inspiring spectacle when viewed from space, showcasing the raw power and geological complexity at play.

The moon's ongoing molten activity creates a visually striking and ever-changing landscape. Lava flows meander across its terrain, forging new channels and leaving behind intricate patterns of hardened rock formations. Volcanic eruptions punctuate the moon's surface, spewing forth fiery jets of molten material into the surrounding space. The interplay between gravity and geological processes on this moon gives rise to a dynamic and volatile environment, shaping its topography and providing a constant reminder of the powerful forces shaping celestial bodies throughout the universe.

## Arcadia Ⅰc

The third moon in the Arcadian system, it is a relatively small body compared to its counterparts. It is often the target of impactors, which have left their mark on its surface, creating a rugged and cratered terrain. Despite its lack of geological activity, Arcadia Ⅰc holds valuable resources within its crust and subsurface, attracting the attention of potential scientific researchers and resource extraction operations.

While less dynamic than its sister moons, Arcadia Ⅰc exerts a significant gravitational influence on Arcadia Ⅰa and Ⅰb, the tidally locked and molten moons in the system. This gravitational interaction shapes their orbital dynamics and tides, and contributes to the distribution of their atmospheric and hydrological features. The intricate dance between these two moons creates a unique environment within the Arcadian System.

# Arcadia Project

Originally presented to the  a few years before Atlantis' return to Earth, the project was dismissed due to being "beyond the oversight of the ". Since the project was far too important, it was approved by , its preparation kept secret and handled by  in her spare time, with only a few people — such as current and former members of SG1 — kept in the loop.

The project is divided into several major phases, which can be summarized as follows "Reinforcements from the Past", a prepared mission with a ship and an oversized crew, time travel to the past to establish a colony in the uninhabited border region of the Milky Way, located in the closest region to the Pegasus Galaxy, this location offers an advantage due to its isolated and unknown nature.

Several assets were put into this mission, secretly trained and equipped, ready only a few years after the preparations began, unfortunately the project hadn't yet been initiated during the Super-Hive attack on Earth, an attack that was stopped by Atlantis under the command of  and  team.

Due to the potential risk of timeline contamination, a strict protocol has been put in place, a complete isolation in both location and communication. Once a suitable planet is colonized, the Foundation team is formally forbidden to leave its star system and is only allowed to communicate within its borders.

"Creating a defensive and offensive force for Earth and its allies" is the main goal of the Foundation team, to this end the project plans the construction of several shipyards meant for research and development and the construction of ships of at least cruiser size, training facilities for crew and soldiers, and a fully developed city for the workforce.

## Arcadia

As part of the secrecy of this project, a planet called **Arcadia**, located on the outer edge of the Milky Way, unknown to both the Goa'uld Empire and the Tau'ri, was handpicked as a prime candidate for the ambitious Arcadia Project.

## Phases of the Project

* Phase 0
* [WIP] Phase 1
* [WIP] Phase 2
* [WIP] Phase 3

## Pre-deployment

As part of the project's preparation, a certain amount of assets were prepared for use, most of which were stored and maintained offworld.

* F-302s
* Oversized Crew
* Construction Teams
* Medical Teams

### Arcadian Flag

The Arcadian Flag is an idea that was brought up early on by the Phase 0 team as a way to identify and eventually unite the troops involved in the project.

While it was brought up during Phase 0, it's final look only came as part of Phase 1, the final choice was unknown to anyone except the Phoenix's crew, there was no way to know which planet would be chosen and by extension what the flag would actually look like.

Its design mainly represents Arcadia and its moons. The green circle is Arcadia itself and the three small circles are the moons, the first being Arcadia Ⅰa, half of which is dark due to the gravitational lock. The moons are followed by a star, which is a representation of the , the colony's main ship.

The blue, white, and red part of the flag is there to signify the US origin of the colony, a way to not forget.

Finally, the planet's point of origin is there inside the green circle as a reference to how the SGC had the Tau'ri symbol on their uniforms. Three stars surround this part, representing the outposts that were settled on **Arcadia** in the early days.

### Council

Phase 1 of the project called for a council to make decisions as a group, initially consisting primarily of the  senior staff, with one representative each from the construction, medical, and science teams, in part as a back-up in case a senior staff member was unavailable.

As part of the Council's duties, several decisions were made, one of which was to create a military corps under which the  would fall, thus creating a clearer chain of command.
