Caledonian Federation

The Caledonian Federation is one of the two nations on the planet Tegalus, the other being the Rand Protectorate. They have been in a state of cold war for several decades as each nation has many weapons and could easily both destroy the other.

SG-1's arrival
After SG-1 arrived a religious zealot named Soren began to preach that his believes have been proven and the gods were return through the stargate since SG-1 came through it. Due to unrest caused by Soren and his fundamentalists a missile was launched and hit the Rand Protectorate. This missile strike began the war between the two nations and caused great damage to both of them. The Federation received more damage due to the Rand's more accurate targeting system.

Ori influence on the Rand Protectorate
Around a half of year later the two nations had been somewhat rebuilt with the help of the SGC, however, a Prior of the Ori came through through the gate. Since the Rand Protectorate had control of they gate they met with the Prior. The Prior gave step-by-step plans to the Protectorate on how to build a satellite weapon. When Earth learned of this satellite they sent the Prometheus to destroy it. This attempt failed, however, when the satellites shields were activated and the Prometheus could not breach them. The Prometheus was quickly crippled by the satellite and Colonial Pendergast stayed aboard the ship while the crew was beamed down into the Federation. After taking multiple shots, the Prometheus finally split at the neck and exploded. More than 39 of its 115-plus officers and crew died with her while the others were beamed down into the Federation. With the help of Carter, Mitchell, and Teal'c they hatched a plan to disable the Rand's power and destroy the satellite with a F-302 when it was without shields. Right before they were going to do this Daniel Jackson contacted from the Protectorate as he was their prisoner. He suggested a cease-fire and a deal be made in that the Stargate would be given to the Federation and they would be allowed to leave the planet if they did not wish to follow Origin. The deal was accepted after the death of the Rand's president by their military commander. After this SG-1 returned home but later found out that peace talks between the two nations had broken down and they had destroyed themselves.
