Admah

Admah was the name of a Lantean city that existed in the Pegasus galaxy on the moon known as MC4-502.

Thousands of years ago, this settlement was once in close communication with Atlantis and was considered one of the great cities of the Ancients. This branch of their civilization was highly developed and had a strong trade base with it being the preferred destination for travelers on leave or visiting dignitaries. In time, its inhabitants developed a taste for entertainment and games which made it one of the foremost vacation spots in the galaxy. However, over time, the inhabitants of Admah began to grow decadent with their games becoming more than simple tournaments whilst their citizens started seeking even greater acts of excess. In time, travel to the city began to drop and eventually stopped in its entirety.

By the time the Wraith emerged, all communication was cut off from Admah though there were attempts at renewing commnications between it and Lantean though all records of these acts were either hidden, deleted or encrypted. In time, all data on Admah became vague to the point that knowledge of it were equal to legend rather than a real record. It was believed that the cityw as either destroyed by the Wraith or withdrew itself from greater contact from the rest of the galaxy. Eventually, the Atlantis database contained a warning about the settlement and all records were sealed to prevent visitors from journeying to it.

On Earth, the legend of Admah would pass into Biblical myth where it was one of the cities destroyed similar to Sodom and Gomorrah. In these stories, the city of Admah was consumed in fire and left a lasting impression on the development of Humans. In 2009, the Atlantis expedition discovered the moon holding Admah had spiralled off its orbit and was falling into its sun leading to Rodney McKay along with his comrades uncovering the existence of the Ancient city.
