Sekkari seed carrier

"That is the historical, scientific and technological records civilization, and if this device is any indication, a highly advanced one at that."

- Rodney McKay about the Seed Carrier

Sakari seed carriers and their contents are all that is left of the Sakari civilization, but are meant to remedy that fact. Realizing that the Sakari would not be able to continue as a race, they spent what time they had left building and launching 50 of these devices into the Pegasus galaxy. They were designed to find suitable planets on which to "seed" with organisms that would evolve into a sentient race, and therefore life for the Sakari could start again. Inside each carrier is all the knowledge of the Sakari, including medical breakthroughs, information on what caused the Sakari extinction, and the chemical building blocks of a silicon based lifeform.

Once the new species had evolved enough to comprehend the device, they would then benefit from all the knowledge left for them inside the device by their ancestors. However, it only works in one order. Life must be seeded before the Sakari database is accessed, as doing so causes irreparable damage to the biological aspect of the carrier. The device also emits low levels of radiation as a means of communicating via an Artificial Intelligence.
