This is a Stargate SG1 and Atlantis story based on The Return of the Ancients known as ROTA by Aer-ki Jyr you can read this at HTTP /rota/. Just to make it clear this is not an official continuation of ROTA or of Stargate. I do recommend reading ROTA first. I would like to thank the Deviant art artist Mallacore, NapsterCZ, Spinobreaker and ZizZgfx, and Spaceman7 for their help with the inspiration of ships and design. You can find their works on the web page give them a look.

A special thanks go out to the other fanfiction Arthur's Aer-ki Jyr, Seraphin2011, AlexanderD, and Senrab Nomis as well as many others. Each of these works is great in its own right with different views. They would be worth your time to read as well.

I'm going on that Earth's ships are smaller than what the Cannon models show which is the 304s are 250 meters long by 195 meters wide by 65 meters and 302s are 8m by 13m by 4.5m and that the 304s are not 650m long by 365m wide by 155m tall and the 302's are not13m long 26m wide 5.7m tall. First season 5-1 Redemption the X-302 was on a 747 with stargate strapped to it, which a stargate is 6.7m, and the fact that a fighter would have a wing span over twice as our other jets makes no sense to me the new tech should make it smaller. And a 650m long ship is 200m longer than anything that we on earth have ever built to date and trying to build it in secret would be impossible. But with what I know an seen the smaller ships seem more real to me. It would be a feat of engineering just to build a hanger that size on earth to house and assemble.

So with that said here is my telling of after ROTA hope you enjoy it. PS I'm not much on all the tech stuff so I borrowed from the web and other stories so.

PROLOGUE

The USAF has lost control of the Stargate to the IOA. US President Kerry has promoted Samantha Cater to Commander General of the Air Force off world assets. To wage war on the Aschen after they attacked Earth and servile sites off-world. The IOA moved the gate back to a mockup base of the SGC in Egypt and is in violation of treaties with the Tok'ra and the New Jaffa Nation. Which has left Earth alone and without any of its former allies.

The IOA has backed out of trade deals that the SGC had with other worlds. Stopping the humanitarian aid to the wolds that had been hit by the Ori invasion into our galaxy. Taking over many of the off-world mining sites. They managed to take over the Alpha base and the Delta site. With attempts to do the same with the Beta and Gamma sites. The US had two shipyards for the 304 production Area 51 and the Gamma base. While Russia and China had each constructed one of their own they had yet to complete one at the time the gate was stolen. The IOA had another in Egypt near where their new SGC was located at. The production of the 304s had been slowed after the Ori threat was eliminated. But was in full production since the Aschen's attack on Earth.

With the congress backing Vice President, they declared war on the Aschen. The Aschen are using an automated army of small softball size Kenobi spheres and larger spherical Tank like drones. Each with multiple laser weapons controlled remotely from a command ship or able to carry out orders from its place of origin. In space, they have a command ship that carries large rectangle elementals nicknamed legos for they can fight alone or come together to increase their capabilities. There is also a launching platform that carries missals with a bio-toxin that kills living matter with a certain DNA sequence. Leaving the infrastructures plant and animals alone while killing only humans or whatever it's designed to. To date, the SGC has only had a few victories but at great losses.

The Lucian Alliance had been plaguing the galaxy with Kassa 'evil space corn' and they have been attacking any Earth ship or colony they find. Blaming Earth for their losses when the Ori came to begin their crusade. They have Goa'uld Ha'tak class mother-ships, Al'kesh boomers, Tel'tak troop transports, Death Gliders, and other support ships in their fleet. With spies across the galaxy and an unknown number of worlds. Where they spread lies and distrust among the other world about the Tau'ri. Even they have lost worlds to the Aschen.

With the Goa'uld System Lords abolished. Minor Goa'ulds are hiding from their enemies like rats. Some have infiltrated humans of power on Earth in hope of ruling over them one day. Others have fled to the remote corners of the Galaxy to backwater planets with their few loyal Jaffa and Human slaves to start anew. Unknown to the other countries they are running the IOA and China. With operatives in other countries working to gain the power of control. Even with the System Lords gone, there are many thousand Goa'uld out there most of which lost their ships and the backing of any other Goa'ulds. With the FJN and Tok'ra hunting them down, they keep a low profile, hiding as humans using drugs to hide them.

Through means of the Repository of Knowledge, the Ancients have been recreated when Ryan Stevenson used it. A young Captain from the SGC, encountered the 'head sucker thing' as Jack O'Neill labeled it. It changed his DNA into an Alterra with the ability to change other humans. With the knowledge, he was given he was able to start rebuilding the legacy that spanned over twenty-three galaxies. He was able to restore the Asgard race by finding the cause of their genetic disorder. Giving them new clone bodies so that they may reclaim their place in the universe and come out of hiding. He has all but defeated the Wraith. With the use of the new Columnars along with their drone escort vessels of which they had two types. The first was the corvettes were the size of Wraith cruisers and the drones which are four and a half meters squares able to go through the stargate if needed.

Bra'tac is the first that Ryan transformed to Alterra for the need of his skills as a warrior. Together to designed new larger spacecraft for both Ryan's needs and for the new convent of System Lords with Bra'tac being the first to offer a new technological Prim'tah that never has to be replaced. Bra'tac making Teal'c his new first prime.

With Ryan's help, the Tok'ra was given a new Queen so for the first time in a millennium their numbers are able two grow. With the modification of the new Queens physiology, the symbiotes would not need to be grown in a Jaffa it could merge at an earlier stage and be grown in a water tank or body of water until a mature age. It was due to them that he was able to come up with the cure for the plague which ended the Alterra millions of years ago.
