Description:

SGX: �A New Beginning�

In early 2007 a new Stargate was unearthed during an archaeological dig in
the mountains beneath the lost Inca city of Macho Pichu in the Urubamba
Valley, Peru, South America. A previously undiscovered Stargate device was
discovered deep in an ancient cave-system which had been substantially
extended by the Inca�s (with the possible assistance of a previously
unknown Ancient civilisation) which includes Pichu-esque stone buildings,
living quarters and monuments of Inca religious significance.

It is surmised that, possibly, some remnants of the ancient Inca
civilisation used the lost Stargate to escape from the advancing Spanish
conquistadors. The Inca�s then left behind some individuals who collapsed
the entrance to the ancient cave network where the Stargate is located.
Unlike the Stargate at Cheyenne Mountain this Stargate (or �Stargate X� as
it has been classified) has a DHD device in place. The DHD device shows
sign of substantial damage possibly inflicted by the Inca�s who were left
behind in a primitive attempt to make the Stargate unusable if discovered
Though similar to the other earth-based Stargates (at SGC Cheyenne
Mountain, Antarctica etc) �Stargate X� has a separate eigth chevron. After
some detailed analysis by SGC technical personnel the new chevron was
thought to be an indicator for a previously unknown galaxy so distant as
to be untraceable from Earth similar to the Ida galaxy (ref �The Fifth
race� episode SG1).

Following recent research and several remote (unmanned) missions it has
been discovered that this premise may be incorrect and that the extra
chevron may indicate that it is used so that the Stargate can access a
different universe (or dimension) altogether along with a separate network
of multiple ancient Stargates unconnected to the original Stargate network
of the SGC in Cheyenne Mountain.  Some discreet questions have been asked
of allied Ancient races (Asgard etc) though they have given no hint that
they knew of this separate ancient Stargate network.

SGC has now taken control of the remote cave network deep in the Urubamba
Valley, designated as the �Bingham SCX Complex� (after Hiram Bingham the
discoverer of Machu Pichu in 1911) and recently began to operate a smaller
experimental SGC operation (recently designated as SGXC or �Stargate
eXperimental Command�). Through top level talks it has been decided to put
together a new small team of individuals to discover what lies beyond the
Stargate of SGX�

The game:

SGX is a designed to be a new sim (PBEM game) based in an extension of the
Stargate Universe (made popular by the Stargate movie, Stargate SG1 &
Stargate Atlantis TV series).

SGX has a new spin, ideas and planned story lines as the new SGX Team
travel into previously undiscovered universe, with new ancient races,
technologies and worlds to discover.

SGX is now looking for players, writers and contributors. The Players will
make up the team members of the brand new SGX1 Team (requiring a mix of
personnel with military, scientific, technological support as well as
archaeological knowledge/background). Also required are PC/NPC SGX
personnel for Bingham SGX complex in Peru.

I would prefer all new characters if possible (though canon characters
will be considered).
