Gamma Site

The Gamma Site was located on a planet 24,000 light years from Earth. This planet was chosen for several reasons, one being its unique radioactive ionosphere which made beaming difficult. The Gamma Site was run by Colonel Pearson with over 30 scientists at the Gamma Site working on several projects, including studying R-75. Doctor Myers accidently triggered a reproductive cycle by feeding R-75 some meatloaf. Their large numbers broke the containment unit allowing them to escape. Myers was able to destroy all of them, however he was bitten in the process and later collasped. While being sent back to Earth, R-75 emerged from Myers' body swarming the Gate room. The IOA representatives were evacuated by SG-1 to an unmanned research station. With the Gamma Site overrun with R-75, General Landry initiated Protocol CR-91. The self-destruct was triggered, but did not destroy R-75 as they were already away from the base. SG-1 and the IOA representative were rescued by the Odyssey before it delivered a payload of toxin to kill R-75.
