Welcome to the website of Stargate SG-9! We're a Stargate fan group headquartered in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia; though our membership encompasses the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. It's members share an avid interest in science fiction (Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Highlander, Robotech, etc in addition to SG-1 and Atlantis) along with costuming and prop building. We're affiliated with SG-Command.net (Stargate specific) and SciFiHero.net (General Science Fiction), two international forums established for this purpose, as well as to bring fans of various franchises just a little closer together.
In terms of the Stargate universe, SG-9 is a dual purpose team based at the Beta Site. Like the Alpha Site before it, the Beta Site was originally established as a possible refuge should the Earth be overrun by it's offworld enemies. Later on, as other offworld bases were established, the Beta Site began to concentrate on the training of offworld personnel. SG-9 serves as a group of veteran trainers in charge of modling new recruits into efficient SG personnel. Additionally, SG-9 is classiied as a 'troubleshooting' team, tasked with taking on and taking out specific threats or dealing with smaller scale situations that may arise. SG-9's concentration so far has been on thwarting the efforts of the Lucian Alliance throughout the galaxy. To aid the team in this mission, as well as provide vital protection for the Beta Site, the IOA has seen fit to permanently assign the newly commissioned Battlecruiser Consitution and the 901st Space Fighter Squadron to the Beta Site. All in all, this makes the Beta Site a powerful fortification of Earth's rising prominence in galactic affairs.
Prospective members might be interested to know that there are no dues to be paid when joining SG-9...even membership on the SG-Command.net and SciFiHero.net forums is free. The only money a member of this group would need to dish out is that which would go toward making a costume or buying props...even then, these activities are optional. Although the SGC and SFH have slightly different regulations regarding membership requirements, if all you're interested in is meeting up with other Stargate fans in your area to discuss the show, attend conventions with, and generally make some new friends, then you'd be a welcome addition to SG-9. In addition, SG-9 is a family friendly group, so feel free to bring the spose or kids along if they're interested in participating as well. Our biggest rule is to have fun, plain and simple!
