People of Novus

People of Novus is a race of humans who lived on planet Novus after their ancestors, Destiny expedition traveled back in time and settled there.

History
After Destiny come to the brink of destruction because of drone attack, David Telford advocated to abandon it by dialing Earth within a star. He come first and reached Earth, but others who came after him never reached destination and were presumed dead. But instead Destiny expedition ended on planet that they will later call Novus, 2,000 years in a past. Within next 2,000 years their descendants population grew up to millions and they built thriving society with advanced technology.

At some point Novus was starting becoming uninhabitable and they used the gate to launch reconnaissance on nearby planets in order to establish colonies. One such group traveled to nearby planet and were stranded there for 30 years because gate on Novus went off-line and no other gate were in proximity. There they encountered Destiny expedition.

Culture
People of Novus are divided into three nations (Tenara and Futura) and another unamed one, originating from division of Destiny expedition survivors into Young's and Brody's factions. The only reminder of this days is Kino record made on a planet, which has status of sacred artifact. The footage, contained by it is important part of Novus culture and people easily recognized their "ancestors" the moment they stepped through the stargate.

They still speak English, although they inherited some saying from Camille Wray's Chinese. Although they weren't certain, some were expecting to one day encounter Destiny and Destiny expedition because their ancestors figured that they traveled through time. Their opinion on Nicholas Rush whom they never saw even on recording vary from saint and savior to demon-like figure.
