History of Stargate Andromeda

Stargate Andromeda began on 18th January 2005. It started out as an idea though canon in origin, something completely different. I always wondered why Atlantis, a starcity, had never left the planet they were on; to go exploring in the Pegasus Galaxy. I decided I would make Andromeda a sister ship to the Atlantis that was actually airborne. But just like the Atlantis team we "discovered" the city submerged and repaired it as best as possible and flew it off its planet to go exploring the Andromeda Galaxy.

We meet and make new enemies called the Saggi, kin to the Wraith. They are as bad in the Andromeda Galaxy as the Wraith were in the Pegasus. General Roberts is the first alien to command a Stargate Team, originally Go'auld, then joining the Tok'ra - she trained with the SGC on an exchange team before discovering that the Ancients were in the Andromeda Galaxy. Given the go ahead to command a new team to that galaxy to recon it, they discover the starcity and decide to stay put and bring it back online, with the approval of the SGC.

We have brought in new aliens, had old enemies attack, gone through a rip in the space time continuum and met up with an alternate of us, and we have also not shyed away from including either the Atlantis or SG1 teams on occasion for missions. Since the end of Atlantis series, I believe we can take this sim further, because of the story interests. We have a lot of readers on the sim, who follow our story avidly. I have also started putting the sim into book format and to date have 3 books called Andromeda Gate published. All of the Royalties goes to Charity.

This year Craig is nominating a charity to support for the next books to be published for the series. Robyn (cozmik) is my Cover Artist and my web designer for both the books and my games website. She is one of the best assets we have.

What's Happening Now?

Current happenings is that Andromeda has landed on a planet designated PX3PX39. It had been located by Colonel Black and his unit before the Andromeda crew headed for the Pegasus Galaxy. PX3PX39 is an actual pleasure planet (I nicked the idea from a classic Trek episode in which Dr. McCoy sees the white rabbit. I decided to have some fun with this next mission.) When we leave there we will be encountering Osiris again, who has made a deal with the Saggi. (Our enemies.)

Game Manager Profile - Jenny

The GM of the Andromeda is Jeanny Driscoll.

Jeanny have been writing for 15 years, 10 of those for sims. She would guess that simming is her primary hobby; Jeanny also travels does a fair amount of sailing and also enjoys reading and art.

Selected Profile 1

My best players are Craig (Admiral Braak, AQSG DCnC) - he plays the resident love interest of General Andrea Roberts, Commanding Officer of the starcity, and is First Officer of the Andromeda. Colonel Roman Black. He has been with the sim almost from its inception.

Selected Profile 3

Second to that is Pavanne, she plays Captain Sandra Hicks, Chief of Security. Two honourable mentions though for exceptional writing are Anna Lake who plays Colonel Lionel Prendergast of the Alliance, and Michael Pierce (Admiral Hunt of First Fleet) who is LOA until further notice. Without the above players, my sim would not have gotten to where it is today.

Future of Stargate Andromeda

I want to make Stargate Andromeda the best Stargate sim online where everyone joins us whether to read or join in. There is always room for more crew. I need players who would like to take over as Colonel Sheppard, Teyla, Ronin and Dr. Rodney Mackay, and also Colonel Cameron Mitchell, Major Lorne and Dr. Radek. I wrote a scenario where they transferred off the Atlantis after the TV series finale. I think we have a good writing team to take the Andromeda into the future.
