Prolog
In the opening years of the 21st century may continued to believe that we were alone in the universe and that we would not attract attention anyway. However unbeknownst to many was that earth had achieved a great leap in technology and a precarious pinnacle of power, position, and responsibility. They were blissfully unaware that
earth was being closely watch and envied for that which was mostly given them. Those who had lost power sought to take it and assume dominance in the galaxy. Every defense was being studied and scrutinized to find a weakness, while the majority of people simply went about their business unaware that others had the same traits and lusts but with much greater resources and numbers preparing to take what they could not have. But what could have been earths greatest defense is about to leave and will be gone much longer than anyone could have anticipated.
Atlantis had been stuck on earth without sufficient power to make a return flight for the past 3 years. Stargate command and the IOA still had civilians stuck on the far side of the universe. The last of the Ori forces had be routed, their ships and facilities captured. The fledgling Jaffa nation had established a working government and most of the disputes had quieted. Sam carter and Rodney McKay had been both assigned to Area 51 to rebuild and try to make sense of all of the technology and knowledge that they had inherited much to each others discomfort. Sam and Jack had been given a presidential exemption to marry and would leave for their honeymoon once Atlantis had departed. What had been accomplished was nothing short of a miracle in the few short years since Atlantis had returned, the victory over the Ori, the gifting of the Asgard core. The accumulation of knowledge had been astounding, They had even managed to repower the Ancient repository that Jack had first found and after meshing every thing together produce an indexable database. Mckay had somehow managed with Sam's help to reverse engineer the Ori power core, the power output of the new core that they created was unimaginable. Estimated indicated at least 10 times the power output of the sun but without any way to measure or test it. One of the 1st stable prototypes had been fitted into Atlantis and the others into 2 new ships. The new ships had been created with the latest weapon derivatives, armor and shields. Although not much bigger than the 304 class the new design packed a lot of heat with the maneuverability that surpassed a ship a tenth the size. Designated the DSBB-101 it had beam weapons that were a fusion of Asgard and Ori technology; Railguns in multiple calibers that could fire at just short of light speed due to the use of a subspace field generator surrounding the barrel; new missiles that had been equipped with both a naqudria hyper-drive and a Merlin's device derived phase shift technology; the hull was Armored with a neutronium ablative layer and naquida-trinium energy dispersive layers; Engines that with the new power source could make the trip to Pegasus in less than a few hours and hopefully to Destiny within a year. A survey of Proclarush Taonas found that the ancients had left a redundant thermpile based force field generator that protected the chair and drones from the collapse due to the removal of the ZPM. These had been brought back to earth to aid in its defense should the need arise. New orbital defenses were being completed and the few standard 304's were stationed in earth orbit in the even the Lucian alliance decided to make a raid as SGC intelligence seemed to point to them being only willing to commit a few dozen ships if it came to an attack on earth. With the chair and drones and the ships in orbit it was felt that that was more than sufficient to deter any attack on earth. The earths various governments in their latent mistrust of each other and the IOA had kept their nuclear ordinates and cold war era infrastructure.
Unbeknownst to Stargate command or any of it allies the Lucian Alliance had become tiered of interference in their attempts to control the galaxy and had created an alliance with the disaffected members of the galaxy that were willing to take what the though was theirs by force. They had been able to assemble a force that would have made the system lords cower in fear some 2000 Ha'tak class vessels plus 5000 Al'kesh bombers that had been sequester and hidden away by various system lords over the millennia . They had their spies on earth and were waiting for Atlantis to leave when earth was to be most vulnerable and unprepared. Their plan was to drop out of hyperspace and immediately open fire with all weapons on the surface with emphasis on targets identified by their spies.
A new hybrid core was created with an AI interface based on Samantha's and Jacks neural patterns. Contained was the collected knowledge of all the known races that had left any behind plus what was gleaned from the dissection of the Ori technology. It used the Asgard matter pattern synthesis and an independent power reserve to operate basic systems. It was decided to create multiple copies for safety 1 each for Atlantis, the SGC, the 2 new DSBB-101's designated somewhat euphemistically Peacekeeper 1 & 2, plus 1 to be sent on a probe to autonomously create a space dock complex at a star just exiting its T-Tauri phase about 10,000 light years away in a dense nebula enriched in heavy transuranic elements. The new ships were to dock with Atlantis for the trip to back to Pegasus and render aid if something happened along the way. Upon reaching Pegasus they were to deal with the Wraith once and for all then proceed to Rendezvous with Destiny and off load those wishing to return. A new commander was selected for the mission one with both tactical and diplomatic experience even though he had a tendency for cowboy diplomacy when it came to it Colonel Anthony Rogers or 'buck as he had become known after a certain incident was selected for the job. Ronan and John Sheppard were given command of the DSBB's .
Departure day arrived and the Lucian Alliance was prepared for its assault as well. The signal for departure was given and Atlantis engaged its wormhole drive, at the same moment the LA was on approach and preparing to drop out of hyperspace. The effect of the wormhole drive transecting the hyperspace windows was devastating. 2/3 of the attack force were destroyed the rest appeared off target half way to Mars, Atlantis was thrown out of its wormhole only about 500 light years away blowing the drive. The SGC upon detecting the arriving assault force initiated Defcon 1 and ordered the 304's to intercept while O'Neil raced to the chair. The 304's attempted to enter hyperspace only to be torn apart by a subspace feedback resonance wave. The LA ships were too close to be effective on their hyper-drive control and had assumed a maximum sub light thrust toward earth determined to make the Taur'i pay for their arrogance. The SGC upon realizing the problem sent a message to all remaining alliance ships not to attempt hyper drive. Atlantis having received this was still doing damage control an attempting to unlock the docking clamps for the DSBB's. Rodney was attempting to reroute power when a conduit blew near the staisis pods rupturing the cryogenic system. The resulting leak formed a cloud that was rapidly enveloping the city Rondey managed to send a message to the SGC on the problem and give a burst of the sub-light engines towards SOL before he was instantly frozen. Sam received it at area 51 and the core gave details on how to build a spacial distortion drive it also indicated that the interface wave was diminishing but would take another 500 years to abate.
The situation on earth was dire. The 1st wave was the reaming al'kesh bombers that unleashed a torrent of high yield devices and attempted to jump away only to explode, followed by the Ha'tak's likewise being destroyed, what was left was a maelstrom of weapons and debris all headed for earth. The drones made a valiant effort to stop the attack and mostly did, however 1 bomb and several large pieces of debris made impact in central Asia and mid America.. This had the unintended consequence of triggering a forgotten cold war era fail safe from both the former USSR and the US. The world was now facing nuclear armageddon. Emergency stand down codes managed to seal some of the silos and prevent launch but some missile were launched. Destruct code failed and missile defense only stopped half of that which was launched the drone supply having been expended on the incoming LA attack. O'Neil and Sam watched in horror as the warheads detonated over several dozen major citys and a blast over area 51 knocked out the surface structures. They were safe in the underground bunker. And left after about 3 weeks for some property O'Neil had acquired outside of Bowman Montana.. About a year later they had a son and named him Zefram Cochrane O'Neil. He learned engineering from his mother and was referred by his friends and Doctor the last name being left off. Eventually he found his mother's notes and built the 1st warp drive the stargate and everything associated with it being forgotten...
Admiral Riker was on the bridge of the Enterprise-E for the final cruise prior to the decommissioning ceremony. Commander Before spoke up: Sir we have an incoming message from Starfleet, A large object has been detected heading towards the Sol system moving at relativistic velocity we are ordered to investigate and deflect or destroy as necessary. Plot us an intercept course and engage. A short time later... we have arrived scanning object appears to be an artificial construction... we are being scanned... Sir detecting increase in energy output temperature rising... Sir a shield has just been raised around the object power level 12th power, 20th power 30th power energy. Red alert All hands battle stations..
A/N
My first attempt at writing fan fiction, has not been beta'd. It is presented as to see if the idea is worth continuing and to which route to take it.
