Overview
Stargate Universe is a science fiction television series that premiered in 2009 and concluded its run in 2011. As a part of the broader Stargate franchise, which is centered on the use of ring-shaped devices built by an ancient intergalactic race to facilitate travel, this series represents a shift toward a more serialized and dramatic narrative approach. The plot follows a present-day, multinational exploration team composed of both military personnel and civilians. After an evacuation, the group finds themselves stranded aboard the Ancient spaceship Destiny, located billions of light years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. While navigating this unknown area of the universe, the team must work to explore their surroundings and ensure their own survival. A primary objective for the stranded crew is to discover a method to return to Earth. The show serves as a spin-off within the franchise, following the earlier television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.
