The Gamma Site

Research outpost established on a planet 24 thousand light years from Earth. Primarily a remote scientific research center, the Gamma Site includes laboratories for several fields including biology, botany, entomology & physics. More than 30 scientists are conducting research at any given time.

The first Gamma Site was selected for the planet's unique radioactive ionosphere. The blanket of radiation makes locking on to surface targets difficult. Consequently, any life signs appear scattered. When R75 insects broke containment, the visiting delegation from the International Oversight Advisory was evacuated by SG-1, but it is likely all members of the facility were killed (or eaten) during or before the activation of the auto-destruct.

Since that time, the S.G.C. has slowly begun to reconstruct the site from the ground up on a new world; replacing much-needed equipment & personell to continue the on-going vital work of the scientists stationed there : including Alec Colson, head of Colson Industries & the scientific genius behind the F-302 program.
