## About

A Fleet Admiral is technically only the equivalent to the rank of fleet admiral in the Navy. Promotion to this rank only happens by the vote of the so called in-chief officers and approval of the Tau'ri Alliance Council. They are considered star system grade officers (SSGO). They therefore can be put in charge of 1.5 million crewman as their direct superior officer. This rank is capped at twenty-two.

## Duties

As a Fleet Admiral you are directly in charge of one of the twelve milky way zones or one of the three Pegasus zones or one of the five Latium zones. If not, you are either the head of the Space Force Internal Promotion Board or Chief Officer of the Space Force on Earth, whose duty it is to relate the status of the Tau'ri Space Force and lobby on its behave.
On superior class vessel you are always the highest officer. You will also be assigned one or two Ensign to function as your permanent administrative assistant and/or technical steward. As a full admiral you have the authority to initiate a planetary assault on any severely hostile Grade 5 to budding Grade 8 civilization. You also have the right to negotiate peace deals, non-aggression pacts and cease fire agreements with formerly hostile grade 8 and grade 9 civilizations.

## Promotion

Promotion to this rank is expected to happen to 10% of all Admirals after they have served for ten years. Those that have served for 15 years as an admiral are expected to either send in their retirement papers or be content with the height they have accomplished and wait for retirement. The in-chief officers determine together who to promote to the rank of admiral and who to pass over for promotion. After the in-chief made their choice known the Tau'ri Alliance Council have to give their approval for the appointment.

## Demotion and Dismissal

As a flag officer you are expected to be a veteran decision maker, who takes responsibility and owns up to their mistake. Abuse of power of a sexual nature will lead to an immediate court martial in which you will face dismissal from service and mandatory prison time. Other abuses of power and flawed decisions making and reckless actions will lead to a permanent demotion and a court martial.

Tau'ri Space Force

The **Tau'ri Space Force (TSF)** is the space defense and warfare service of the Tau'ri, instituted in 2016 to protect all Humans and their allies throughout the universe.

## About

The Tau'ri Space Force is a galactic military organization. Their objective is warfare, defense and peacekeeping. But they are not a police force, for they don't have any law enforcement or regulatory powers.

## Mission

The Tau'ri Space Force's core mission is to defend and protect the planet Earth, as well as to protect all the Tau'ri wherever they may be in the Universe from whatever threat may come to them, and right next to this is its mission to protect all Humankind and their allies throughout, outside and within the Seven Galaxies we have found them in, from whatever threat that might face them.

## Structure

The Tau'ri Space Force has its own command structure and leaders but the Tau'ri Alliance Council which is made of different human civilizations, alien races and legal entities, does have influence over the decisions and appointments of its top brass.

## Personnel

TSF rank is divided between enlisted officers, junior officers, senior officers, flag officers and supreme flag officers, and ranges from the enlisted Crewman-in-Training (S-1) to the supreme flag officer rank of Space Force Grand Admiral-in-Chief (FO-12), however during a very hostile and long protracted war against either a grade 9 or 10 civilization an officer may be appointed to the higher grade of Grand Admiral-in-Chief of the Space Force (FO-12+). Enlisted promotions are granted based on a combination of test scores, years of experience, and selection board approval while officer promotions are based on time-in-grade and the Space Force Internal Promotion Board. Promotions among all personnel and non-commissioned officers are designated by symbols with different shape and lines and stripes within and around them.

A Chief Petty Officer is the equivalent to the rank of staff sergeant in the Army and Marines, technical sergeant in the Air Force and petty officer first class in both the Navy and Coast Guard.

Each Chief represents his or her own Division or Department against the others, and important issues are often worked out behind closed doors.

When Apophis arrived on Abydos, he and Sha're were kidnapped and taken to Chulak. Once there, he was made host to Apophis' son Klorel.

### 1998

When Apophis and Klorel launched an attack of Earth, Klorel was shot with a Zat'nik'tel, or "zat-gun", and, for a time, the blast suppressed the Goa'uld. Skaara was able to talk to Colonel Jack O'Neill for a short time, and asked forgiveness for what he, under Klorel's control, was about to do. Later, when Klorel attempted to raise his Energy Shields, Skaara was able to stop him momentarily but Klorel ultimately overpowered him and raised the shield. Eventually, Apophis and Klorel escaped the ship by Stargate.

### 2000

When a Death Glider Klorel was piloting crashed on Tollana, Skaara managed to regain control and begged the Tollans for help. However, since Klorel refused to give up the body, the Tollans held a Triad to determine who had priority over the body. Skaara's archons were Colonel Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson while Klorel was defended by Lord Zipacna. Travell chaired the Triad while Lya served as neutral archon. The decision was eventually reached that Skaara had priority on the grounds that he would otherwise live as a slave and that life as a slave is not life at all. The Tok'ra were brought to Tollana and extracted Klorel.

### 2003

Skaara returned to Abydos. Several years later, he helped SG-1 find the Eye of Ra in the Abydosian pyramid. He was later killed by Anubis' Jaffa, but he and the rest of the Abydonians ascended with the help of Oma Desala. When SG-1 returned to Abydos to find out what happened, he explained how Anubis had destroyed the planet and Oma had ascended everyone. Skaara had not seen Daniel and tells SG-1 that they will not see him again for a long time before disappearing.

## About

They are the lowest *commissioned* rank in the Space Force and are collectively known as pink circles based on the insignia badge they wear. Unlike in Tau'ri based military forces, the Space Force doesn't have the traditional Enlisted/Commissioned split. Though those below Cadet Midshipman are enlisted personnel, those above are divided in Junior and Senior Officers. Junior Officers are still in training and therefore their authority is very limited. While Senior Officers are comparable to the Commissioned Officers of regular Tau'ri military forces.

They spend their entire time in rank in training as the name suggest. They generally follow a Second Lieutenant around who is responsible for learning them the ropes. Their generally have their first assignment upon a Interstellar Battlecruiser or on an Interstellar Fighter Frigate.

## Duties

The duties of a Cadet Midshipman involves spending eight hours a day in silent study, eight hours following the second lieutenant around and following their instructions and eight hours of sleep. Those who can get used to this schedule are allowed to advance to Senior Cadet Midshipman after eight months, those who can't are reassigned to the Tau'ri Planetary Pioneering Agency, who have many jobs for everyone.

## Promotion

Any able bodied 18 year old with at a college degree or highers that passes the Space Force Applicational Standard Test and thereby has proven themselves physically and mentally capable will be allowed to go to the Space Force Test School at the Moon Base, after passing basic training there they will be allowed to sign up for the Midshipman Course the top 15 % of those who finish the course will become Senior Cadet Midshipman the rest will start as Officer Cadet First Grade, which is another name for this rank. Regardless of where you finish you will get assigned to a ship as a position for you becomes available. High English fluency is a must for both the application and Test School itself as is an eager to learn attitude.

## Dismissal

Those who can hack the schedule or our found lacking in their duties or attitude are reassigned to the Tau'ri Planetary Pioneering Agency, who have many jobs for everyone. Once here readmission to Space Force is no longer a possibility. But one can always join a geological, archaeological or anthropological research or study group.
Space Force Admiral

**Admiral** is the fourth advanced kind of flag officer in the Tau'ri Space Force, they wear silver uniforms and dress suits with pearl white epaulettes on them. On these they wear their blue five-pointed decagon star, bottom right, bottom left and upper left corner purple isotoxal stars, insignia on either side. They also wear their insignia on their chest with their medals and badges.

## About

An Admiral is the equivalent to the rank of general in the Army, Marines and Air Force and admiral in both the Navy and Coast Guard. As a flag officer in the Space Force is a highly specialized position, no equivalent ranked person is allowed to be transferred into this rank, promotion to it only happens by the vote of the so called in-chief officers and approval of the Tau'ri Alliance Council. They are considered star system grade officers (SSGO). They therefore can be put in charge of five-hundred thousand crewman as their direct superior officer.

## Duties

As an Admiral you are indirectly in charge over a portion of the fleet, even when your stationed at a base or outpost. You are technically the direct superior of a platoon of Rear Admirals and thereby you are in charge of about 750 vessels, ranging from minor to superior class. On superior class vessel you are always one of the top five officers in charge. You will also be assigned an Ensign to function as your permanent administrative assistant or technical steward, depending on which master degree you have gotten. As a full admiral you have the authority to initiate a planetary assault on any severely hostile Grade 5 to budding Grade 8 civilization. You also have the right to negotiate peace deals, non-aggression pacts and cease fire agreements with formerly hostile grade 8 and grade 9 civilizations.

## Promotion

Promotion to this rank is expected to happen to 20% of all Vice Admiral after they have served for ten years. Those that have served for 15 years as a vice admiral are expected to either send in their retirement papers or be content with the height they have accomplished and wait for retirement. The in-chief officers determine together who to promote to the rank of admiral and who to pass over for promotion. After the in-chief made their choice known the Tau'ri Alliance Council have to give their approval for the appointment.

## Demotion and Dismissal

As a flag officer you are expected to be a veteran decision maker, who takes responsibility and owns up to their mistake. Abuse of power of a sexual nature will lead to an immediate court martial in which you will face dismissal from service and mandatory prison time. Other abuses of power and flawed decisions making and reckless actions will lead to a permanent demotion or dismissal and a court martial.
Temple of Ra

**Founded In** | 4631 BCE

The **Temple of Ra** is the primary building on the planet of Abydos.

## Appearance

The Temple of Ra is the name of the giant pyramid of Abydos and the Baronkesh in front of it which holds the Stargate. The pyramid is quite a bit higher then the Great Pyramid in Giza. The pyramid is the biggest and most notable structure upon the planet of Abydos. Inside it, it held the Abydosian Stargate as well as the key to deciphering the walls of the Depository of Ra and a set of Transportation Rings, it was also used as a landing platform for Ra's Cheops Class Warship. Deep inside the pyramid was a hidden chamber which held the Eye of Ra and the Atlantis Tablet.

## Geography

The Temple of Ra is located in the middle and within walking distance of all of Abydos major locations including the city of Nagada and the Depository of Ra.

## History

Construction of the Pyramid started in 4631 BCE at the moment of the arrival of the first of the Abydonians, most of those who build the pyramid died during it construction the survivors of the build were then killed by Ra in order to pass off the temple as divinely build. The temple was destroyed along with the rest of the planet in 2003 when Anubis blew it up.

## Ecology

The Temple could support a population of 2000 thousand even though it wasn't allowed to the Abydonians to even set foot inside of it all they were allowed to do was make offerings of Naquadah at the base of it.

## Culture

The Temple was seen by the Abydonians as the place closest to God, it was here that they made their offerings of Naquadah and were they came to worship their god Ra. It was considered the most holy place in existence, trespassing upon it was considered a severe crime by the elders and leaders of Abydos.
W.O. West

**W. O. West** was a Major General in the United States Air Force and headed Project Giza (also known as the Stargate Project), the forerunner of Stargate Command at Cheyenne Mountain.

## Biography

As a decorated United States Air Force officer and senior pilot with experience in both the Vietnam War and Gulf War, Major General West was chosen to oversee Dr. Catherine Langford's final attempt of dialing the Stargate in 1993.

Two years later on 5 October 1995 he allowed Dr. Daniel Jackson to be brought into the project to make a final attempt at translating the 39 Chevrons. He also brought in Colonel Jack O'Neil with whom he had previous military experience and whom's judgment and expertise he trusted, while also having enough emotional distance from the man to select him for a suicide mission, despite O'Neill going through an emotionally difficult time considering how his son had just died.

Upon the successful connection of the Earth Stargate to Abydos, West immediately militarized the program and locked out most of the civilian team previously working under Langford. He then authorized the initial excursion to Abydos.

After this mission it was decided to guard the Stargate somewhere else and he requested to have no further involvement with the Stargate Project or the later (in 1997) commissioned Stargate Command. A request which was honored by the top brass.

United States Coast Guard

The **United States Coast Guard (USCG)** is the coastal defense, search & rescue, and maritime law enforcement branch of the United States Armed Forces.

## About

The Coast Guard is a maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the U.S. military branches for having a maritime law enforcement mission (with jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters) and a federal regulatory agency mission as part of its mission set. It operates under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during peacetime, and can be transferred to the U.S. Department of the Navy by the U.S. President at any time, or by the U.S. Congress during times of war. Its core organizations are the National Search and Rescue Committee, National Response Center and the National Maritime Center. Uniquely it has both the authority of an armed service and a law enforcement agency.

## Mission

The US Coast Guard's core function is to provide security and law enforcement for the United States coastal waters. The Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security, except when supplementing Navy and Marine forces, as they have in nearly every major conflict since WWI. The major communities for the Coast Guard include Law Enforcement, Aviation, Engineering, Intelligence, and Oceanography.

## Role

The Coast Guard carries out three basic roles, which are further subdivided into eleven statutory missions. The three roles are:

* Maritime safety
* Maritime security
* Maritime stewardship

With a decentralized organization and much responsibility placed on even the most junior personnel, the Coast Guard is frequently lauded for its quick responsiveness and adaptability in a broad range of emergencies.

## Statutory Missions

The eleven statutory missions as defined by law are divided into homeland security missions and non-homeland security missions:

Non-homeland security missions

* Ice operations, including the International Ice Patrol
* Living marine resources (fisheries law enforcement)
* Marine environmental protection
* Marine safety
* Aids to navigation
* Search and rescue

Homeland security missions

* Defense readiness
* Maritime law enforcement
* Migrant interdiction
* Ports, waterways and coastal security (PWCS)
* Drug interdiction

## Personnel

USCG rank is divided between enlisted personnel, warrant officers and commissioned officers, and ranges from the enlisted Seaman Recruit (E-1) to the the commissioned officer rank of Admiral (O-10).
Enlisted promotions are granted based on a combination of test scores, years of experience, and selection board approval while officer promotions are based on time-in-grade and a promotion selection board. Promotions among enlisted personnel and warrant officers are generally designated by increasing numbers of insignia chevrons. Commissioned officer rank is designated by bars, oak leaves, a silver eagle, and anywhere from one to four stars.
