Scorched Earth

SG-1 is caught in a conflict between two civilizations trying to colonize the same planet. The current inhabitants face destruction by the new visitors. SG-1 studies the situation, and concludes that the visitors' vessel is terraforming the planet for a type of life unlike any they know.

There is no Stargate on the Enkaran home world. The Goa'uld kidnapped the Enkaran ancestors by ship to a new world. When faced with disaster on this world, they were transported by the SGC to build hundreds of villages on P5S-381. The Enkarans require a dense ozone layer to protect against radiation since even low levels of radiation can cause blindness and death. The Gadmeer, whose physiology is based on sulphur, were an advanced and peaceful race who fell victim to a superior military power. They placed their legacy, all their knowledge from 10,000 years of civilization, into the ship, looking for a new home world to colonize.

The alien ship terraforms the planet by destroying all native organisms and replacing them with microbes which bond with the sulphur leached out of the soil and release sulphur dioxide as they decay, thus creating an environment to support an organic system based on sulphur rather than carbon. The ship is 2 miles in diameter and the curtain of energy stretches over 20 miles. Once the terraforming process has begun, it must be completed. SG-1 are ordered to report back to P5S-381 and assist in the evacuation and attempt to communicate with ship
