Cast and characters
Set 30 years into the future, the series follows Gus Bonner, an SG team veteran framed for disobeying orders and sending his men into an ambush. After the hostile alien race Tlak'kahn attacks Stargate Command to steal a mysterious alien chrysalis unearthed in Egypt, Bonner escapes through the Stargate with a team of youngsters and the chrysalis. His niece, an SGC recruit, believes he is a traitor and frequently confronts him. A Native American team member has visions and a telepathic connection with Draga. A sarcastic recent academy graduate provides comic relief and flirts with alien women. The team travels from planet to planet seeking evidence to clear their names, but the story arc was never resolved due to cancellation.
