Representatives from various countries who want to know more about the Stargate and the SGC are taken on a visit to the Gamma site. Unfortunately, at the same time the Gamma site scientists are investigating strange bugs from another planet, believed to be part of an Ori plan to scare worlds into worshiping them. The scientific study leads to the imperilment of the representatives and the Gamma site, as the bugs get out of control. SG-1, having been especially assigned to protect the representatives, must find a way to get them safely back to Earth, before they are consumed by the now carnivorous Ori bugs.

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.
