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

Samantha Carter returns to the SGC when the Ori seize control of a planet named Kallana as a foothold in the Milky Way Galaxy.

After several attempts to halt the process, they discover that they have been helping the Ori achieve their goal, instead of foiling their efforts.

The Ori have been building an enormous Stargate to allow their ships to enter the Milky Way, but they are stopped by Vala, who dies in the process, although there is a possibility that she got trapped in the Ori galaxy.
