SG-1 gates to a world which they find worships the Norse god, Freyr. The people believe the team are Elves, as disciples of Freyr are known as. All seems to go well until the planet's sky turns red. The local religious interpreter decries that the SG-1 team is the cause of this strange occurrence, suggesting that SG-1 has brought on Rag'norok on the people ? meaning the end of time. The events of SG-1's arrival lead to the possible demise of all of the planet's inhabitants, and the team's own peril. O'Neill is able to request help from the Asgard high counsel via their beaming viewing system in the villages temple, but the Asgard counsel tells him they are prevented from helping, due to provisions in the 'protected planets' treaty with the Goa'uld. SG-1 must find their own way to save the planet, and its people on their own.

Step through the Stargate with SG-1, a team of soldiers and scientists, as they travel instantaneously to other planets to explore, forge alliances, defuse crises, establish trade, investigate ancient mysteries and defend Earth from such hostile forces as the Goa'uld and the Replicators.
For eight years, from their base at the U.S. Air Force's Stargate Command in the Rocky Mountains, Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter and alien warrior Teal'c have braved everything that the universe has thrown at them, from interstellar war and evil twins to passing and ascension.
But changes came to SG-1 as it began its ninth year of fearless service to Earth. New faces joined the team, as Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell tries to fill the very big shoes of former SG-1 leader O'Neill, while General Hank Landry must adapt to the unique challenges of running Stargate Command, a posting unlike any other the military has to offer.
Offworld, SG-1 might have new friends - or new foes - in Vala, a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter; and Gerak, a Jaffa leader who vies with Teal'c for political control of the new Jaffa nation.
