Introduction

The ninth season of Stargate SG-1, an American-Canadian television series, began airing on 15 July 2005 on Sci Fi.

The ninth season concluded on 10 March 2006, after 20 episodes on the same channel.

The series was originally developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, and Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie served as executive producers.

The season arc centres on the new threat of the Ori, a race who Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black) unleash in an unknown galaxy, and who are threatening to prepare for a crusade into the Milky Way galaxy to convert the beings to their religion called Origin.

Season nine regular cast members included Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Beau Bridges, and Michael Shanks. Claudia Black appeared in a recurring role for eight episodes.

The ninth season begins with General Hank Landry (Beau Bridges) having assumed command of Stargate Command, and newcomer Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) trying to regroup the SG-1 team after the events of the eighth season.

Outline

In order to steer the planet P8X-412 away from Origin, SG-1 is tricked by Vala into going to the planet she previously ruled as a Goa’uld.

The inhabitants of the planet know nothing of the downfall of the parasites, and they believe that Vala is still their goddess, until a prior shows up, and attempts to expose her for who she is.
