Athos

Homeworld of the Athosians, a small agrarian population. Athos was routinely under siege by Wraith culling parties until John Sheppard evacuated Teyla's village to Atlantis for safe harbor following a Wraith attack. The Athosians regard the Ancients -- who likely first seeded their world with human life -- as "the ancestors," and they play an important role in Athosian religious beliefs.

Not far from the Athosians' village is an ancient city which appears to possess more advanced technology than that which the Athosians retain in their nomadic village. Colonel Marshall Sumner and his team from Earth was unable to explore it before the Wraith attacked. Several kilometers from the village lies a hidden chamber where Teyla believes her decedents once hid from the Wraith. It is covered in writings and images depicting previous attacks.

It is not known if any other Athosian villages remained behind on the planet following the most recent Wraith attack, after which the Athosians in Teyla's village relocated to Atlantis.
