Unable to return to Earth, they must fend for themselves aboard the ship as it takes them to the far reaches of the universe. A team of soldiers and scientists from Earth step through the Stargate to find the Destiny (which has a Stargate onboard) after their base is attacked. The show will be set on an Ancient ship, the Destiny, that was part of an Ancient experiment to seed the galaxies with Stargates millions of years ago but that was prematurely ended by the Ancients' ascension.Ī second ship would follow up and explore, using the ninth and final gate chevron (whose purpose was previously unknown) to get to the first ship. Like the first two series in the franchise, Stargate Universe will take place during the present time, not in the distant future. Stargate Universe - Shuttle Bridge Concept Art Cooper will serve as executive producers and writers. With filming beginning next February Stargate Universe should start regular weekly airings on SCI FI in Summer 2009.


And last but not least, the Sci Fi Channel has decided to treat us with Stargate Universe, a new television show that will be the third entity in the live-action Stargate franchise. But that's not the end of the Stargate franchise, far from it! There are indeed a few Stargate Atlantis films ahead. Last Friday was the finale episode of Stargate Atlantis, which was a spin-off of the original SG-1 show.
