Rand Protectorate

The Rand Protectorate is one of the two nations on the planet Tegalus, the other being the Caledonian Federation. 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. After SG-1 arrived on the planet a religious leader named Soren started to cause unrest claiming that the Stargate's activation proved his believes that the gods would return. Due to this unrest a missile was eventually launched causing great damage to the protectorate. Each of the warring factions were greatly damaged by the war but many people escaped the blast zones. Later the Protectorate with help from the SGC began to rebuild the society. Around a half a year after this happened a Prior of the Ori visited the planet meeting the Protectorate as they were the ones who had the Stargate. The prior gave them instructions of how to build a satellite weapon, but only in stages. The Rand built the weapon from the instructions, under the watch of the prior. Later SG-1 and the Prometheus attempted to destroy the satellite but failed, resulting in the destruction of the Prometeus and the death of Colonel Pendergast and more than 39 of its 115-plus officers and crew. When Mitchell and Teal'c were about to destroy the satellite via a F-302 while the Rand's power was done Daniel Jackson brokered a deal between the two nations. Rand would give the Caledonians the Stargate and allow those to leave who do not want to convert to Origin. The deal was accepted, however, President Nadal attempted to break it and use the satellite to attack the capital of Caledonia but was killed by Commander Pernaux and the satellite was shut down. After SG-1 left talks broke down between the countries and they eventually destroyed themselves. The satellite weapon was destroyed later after the two nations destroyed each other.
