Tau'ri-Wraith skirmishes

This is a list of skirmishes that have occurred in the Pegasus galaxy between the Tau'ri and Wraith during the Tau'ri-Wraith war.

Wraith attack on Proculus
While Chaya is away at Atlantis and not protecting the planet, the Wraith attack with two cruisers and hundreds of Darts through the Stargate. Chaya returns and Sheppard takes a Puddle Jumper to help as best as he can. He manages to destroy a few Darts before Chaya appears to him and tells him to leave the rest to her. She uses her powers to release a massive electromagnetic blast and destroys the Wraith Darts and crusiers, ending the attack.

The scooping of McKay and Cadman
While on a planet recently destroyed by the Wraith, a Dart attacks. It manages to cull Dr. Rodney McKay and Lieutanant Laura Cadman and heads for the Stargate to return to its hive ship. Colonel Sheppard manages to shoot it down with a machine gun before it can escape and Dr. Carson Beckett finds the pilot injured, but alive. Beckett goes to help him, but seeing that the pilot is reaching for the Dart's self-destruct, Sheppard kills him. McKay is retrived from the Dart at the scene but Cadman's mind gets trapped inside him. Later McKay and Cadman are seperated and Cadman's body is beamed out of the Dart's storage device.

Skirmish on the Wraith outpost
Michael Kenmore, a Wraith Commander (and scientist as its later revealed) who has been turned human, starts to revert back and kidnaps Teyla and travels to a planet full of Wraith that he remembers the address of. Once there he and Teyla find a Hive Ship landed on the ground along with thousands of Wraith. Michael has reverted back enough by this time that he can feed again and he threatens to feed on Teyla. Teyla tells him to go ahead, but as he still cares about Teyla, he fights with himself for a moment before going to feed on her. Sheppard, McKay and Ronon arrive having gotten the address from a piece of rock Teyla inscribed it upon, and Sheppard shoots Michael. Taking Teyla with them they run for the Stargate and escape as the other Wraith find Michael who is still alive.

Skirmish over M8G-352
Sheppard and his team arrive over M8G-352 in the Hive Ship they captured in the Battle of the Void. They take a Puddle Jumper to the surface and rescue Dr. Carson Beckett, but its too late for the rest of the humans. McKay tries to detonate the nuke Sheppard left behind, but it doesn't go off as Michael has managed to disable it. Sheppard orders McKay to fire on the planet in an attempt to take out the camp and the human-form Wraith there, but another Hive Ship arrives and starts firing at them. They are unable to fight back, but continue firing at the planet in an attempt to kill all of the human-form Wraith anyway. Ultimatly they lose power and are about to be destroyed. Later when the Daedalus arrives to help, all it finds is the debris field from the team's destroyed Hive Ship and no sign of survivors or the other Hive Ship. Then the team contacts them: they managed to escape the ship's destruction in the Puddle Jumper and are grateful the Daedalus came as they had no other way of getting home as the planet has no Stargate. They believe that all of the human-form Wraith were killed by the bombardment, but its later revealed that Michael at least managed to survive but it is unknown if any of the others did.

Ronon's capture on Sateda
A village of people who were culled due to Ronon accidentally leading the Wraith to them when he was a Runner captures the team and summons the Wraith who have promised to leave the village alone if Ronon is turned over to them. Ronon manages to convince the villagers to let the rest of the team go, but by the time they get back with a rescue, the Wraith have culled the village and taken Ronon to the Hive Ship where he encounters the Wraith King responsible for the destruction of his homeworld. The Wraith King has him implanted with another tracking device and set loose on the surface of Sateda in order to hunt him. In order to make sure he can't get away, the Hive Ship destroys Sateda's Stargate with a blast from orbit. On Atlantis, McKay manages to track down his tracking device and Sheppard, McKay, Teyla and Beckett take the Daedalus close enough to Sateda to travel by Puddle Jumper down to the surface to help. Ronon encounters increasing numbers of Wraith coming after him and wins each time, but is injured and outnumbered as there are 25 coming after him now. Sheppard and Teyla show up to help and he insists on killing all of the Wraith as he feels that it will draw the Wraith King himself to the surface so Ronon can fight and kill him for revenge. Together the three kill all of the Wraith while McKay and Beckett both fight over a gun on the Jumper, both wanting to come and help but being unable to resolve the argument before the fight is over. With the death of these Wraith, Ronon successfully lures the King to Sateda's surface for a fight and warns Sheppard and Teyla not to get involved unless he (Ronon) is killed, threatening them with death if they interfere in the fight. Ronon and the King go hand to hand but in Ronon's weakened state he is no match for the King who goes to feed on him Both are surprised however, when the Puddle Jumper piloted by McKay decloaks nearby. Unable to take watching the fight anymore, he and Beckett decided to intervene and Beckett kills the Wraith King with a drone fired from the Jumper. The team barley escapes as the Hive Ship fires at them, but once they get to space Ronon thanks and hugs Beckett for killing the Wraith and Beckett removes the tracking device from his back and they return to the Daedalus and Atlantis.

Skirmish of the Mobile drilling platform
Sheppard, his team, Dr. Elizabeth Weir and a team of scientists head to a mobile drilling platform that they learned the existance of and location of from Atlantis' database. Once there they get to work on setting it up, but Teyla senses a Wraith presence nearby. She tries to connect with the mind of the Wraith, but after she wakes up claims she was wrong and that there was no Wraith nearby. But it is revealed that she is under the control of the Wraith in question and she sabatoges the drilling platform's systems before being released from the Wraith's control. Meanwhile the Wraith arrives and it is revealed that it is in fact a queen. She tries to fly the Puddle Jumper, but can't as she doesn't posses the ATA gene and she feeds on one of the scientists that comes to the Jumper but first forces him to call Sheppard. When Sheppard arrives she tries to force him to fly the Jumper, but Ronon takes a shot at her and misses, hitting the Jumper's window and blasting it out, releasing ocean water into the drilling platform. McKay activates the emergency force fields to prevent the water from getting too far into the base, but the force of the water knocks out Sheppard, Ronon and the queen who they capture after waking up. The queen won't tell them anything beyond "you are all going to die" so Teyla connects with her mind again and finds out her past: she was the queen of a great alliance of Wraith who led the first wave of the attack on Atlantis during the seige 10,000 years before. Her crusier was shot down but survived intact on the ocean floor of Lantea for 10,000 years with the queen surviving by feeding on her own crew until she was all that was left of it and went into hibernation waiting for a rescue that would never come. She woke up once she sensed Teyla's presence and swam over underwater as it wasn't far and tried to take the Puddle Jumper, but needed Sheppard to fly it. Teyla learns that before she left the crusier, she set the self-destruct which would cause an eruption as they are on thin crust which would destroy both the drilling platform and Atlantis. Sheppard and McKay take two underwater suits and walk underwater to the crusier where they attempt to deactivate the self-destruct but discover that they need a command code. Teyla decides to connect with her mind in an attempt to get the command code, but the queen gains control and forces Teyla to release her, but before she can feed on her she reads Teyla's mind and discovers Sheppard and McKay were able to fix the crusier and plan to fly it to the mainland so it can detonate safley. She leaves Teyla alone and swims back to her crusier where she confrims with Sheppard that it can fly than deactivates the self-destruct. As she goes to feed on him, McKay empties a P-90 into her back, weakening her but not killing her. She turns on him but Sheppard unloads his pistol into her back finishing her off. With her death Teyla can no longer sense the Wraith meaning she was the only one. Its revealed that Teyla tricked the Wraith Queen into believing that the ship had been repaired in order to get her to deactivate the self-destruct which then allowed McKay and Sheppard to kill her. They manage to get the radio back online and contact Atlantis who sends a rescue Jumper.

Wraith attack on the Travelers' Aurora ship
After Sheppard manages to take control of the Travelers Aurora-class ship, he tries to take it to Atlantis but is forced to stop and drops it out of hyperspace in a solar system with a Stargate and sends out an SOS. Atlantis receives it, but so unfortunatly do the Wraith. The Wraith send a crusier to attack the ship. Sheppard manages to convince Larin to let him go to help. He makes his way to the ship's drone control chair, but due to a malfunction of some kind is unable to fire right away. Meanwhile the crusier opens fire on the ship and as the shields are only at twenty percent, they fail and the crusier takes out the bridge, killing the two Travelers there. Sheppard manages to fix the problem and fires a salvo of drones, destroying the crusier, but four Wraith Darts escape the destruction and land in one of the ship's bays. One of the Wraith attacks Larrin, but Sheppard kills him. Larrin then leads two more into a corrider on the side of the ship and Sheppard fires a drone into it, releasing the Wraith into space and killing them. Unfortunatly the last one had broken off before this attack and ambushes Larrin and drains her lifeforce somewhat in order to question her but is in turn ambushed by Sheppard who bluffs him with an empty gun into restoring her lifeforce. Afterwards he lets the Wraith escape via its Dart and the Stargate in the solar system as part of the deal.

Skirmish of the Wraith cloning facility
Todd steals three ZPM's during the Battle of Asuras and decides to use them to clone himself a new army of Wraith at the Wraith Cloning Facility in order to wipe out the other Wraith and create an army completly loyal to him. He is betrayed to another hive by one of his men and his ship is attacked, his crew is killed and he is taken prisoner. Before he's taken prisoner he activates his subspace tracking device before its cut out of him, leading Sheppard and his team to his damaged and abandoned Hive Ship which they take for their own. After learning of the cloning facility, Teyla flies the hive ship there to check it out as while they don't know what it is, they learn that it was crucial to the Wraiths defeat of the Ancients. They arrive in orbit of one of the planet its on's moons and Sheppard, McKay and Ronon take a Puddle Jumper down to the facility while Teyla, Major Lorne and his team remain behind on the hive ship. Once there they find Wraith warriors being cloned and many cloning pods as well as a Queen. Not understanding what's going on, they rescue Todd who explains it to them and how the facility was instrumental in their defeat of the Ancients: they defeated the Ancients through sheer numbers which were formed through this cloning facility. They couldn't use it in their war with the Replicators as it required ZPMs to work, but he'd gotten those during the last battle. The team and Todd get ambushed by the Wraith on their way out and while Todd does escape, the team is captured. Todd takes a Dart and makes his way to the hive ship and tries to convince everyone else to leave, but Teyla refuses saying she's got another idea of how to save their friends. In the facility the Queen interogates Sheppard and prepares to feed on him when Teyla takes control of her and forces her to have the other Wraith send them back to a cell. While Teyla mentally fights the Queen, she forces her to go and release the rest of the team, but the Queen goes after her baby. At Teyla's urging, Sheppard kills the Queen saving Teyla and her baby. In orbit of the moon the Queen's hive ship locates Atlantis' and attacks and Todd tries to hold them off as long as possible to allow Sheppard, McKay and Ronon time to get back to the ship. The three manage to fight their way out having no time to disconnect the ZPMs as the cloning process has been started and make their way back to the hive ship in their Puddle Jumper. Needing to destroy the facility, Sheppard has Teyla set the hive ship on a collision course with the facility while the team and Major Lorne's team escape in the Puddle Jumper and Todd escapes in a Wraith Dart. They watch as the hive ship crashes into the facility, destroying it, and then escape through the planet's Stargate back to Atlantis.

Skirmish of Michael's facility
After learning of a possible location of Teyla from Todd, the team takes the Daedalus to the given location where they beam into Michael's facility. There they encounter two guards while the Daedalus comes into battle with Michael's crusier in orbit. The two guards are killed by Sheppard and Ronon and Sheppard learns that Teyla is likely on Michael's ship so he orders the Daedalus not to destroy it. Michael's crusier is no match for the Daedalus and takes heavy damage so Michael runs. The Daedalus attempts to take out the hyperdrive with its Asgard beam weapons, but misses and Michael gets away. The team investigates the facility and finds the clone of Doctor Carson Beckett there.

Firefight in Michael's base
The team learns the location of Michael's base where he is holding Teyla from Nabel Golan and travel there by Stargate. There, after a brief fight with a few of Michael's hybrids, the team finds and rescues the missing Athosians. Michael learns of their presence in his base and terminates his experiments and orders two of his hybrids to take Teyla to his crusier which is parked nearby. Sheppard, Ronon and McKay come into conflict with three of Michael's human soldiers so Beckett heads off to rescue Teyla alone and kills the two hybrids guarding her, but is stopped when Michael himself shows up and is unable to shoot him due to being sucesptible to his influence. Beckett is stunned and Michael makes his way to his crusier with Teyla. Meanwhile McKay, Ronon and Sheppard manage to gun down Michael's men, but by the time they find Beckett, Michael manages to escape again in his crusier.

Skirmish on the diseased Hive Ship
Todd's hive ship arrives in orbit of M35-117 and automaticaly sends a video message to Atlantis for help. Todd and his crew have taken Dr. Jennifer Keller's gene therapy but it has left them with a disease so they set course for Atlantis and went into stasis hoping the people of Atlantis could find a cure. On board the team finds power flucuations, walls melting and appearing and Wraith warriors attacking them as the power flucuations have triggered a saftey protocal that causes the pods to open. After reviving Todd they discover that the disease has infected the Hive Ship itself as well. McKay shuts down most of the pods, killing those Wraith, but not before a couple of dozen are released. The three teams, excluding McKay and Keller go after those Wraith, but the ship starts to break apart. The teams manage to get to the foward section and McKay seals the bulkheads before the ship breaks in half, killing the Wraith in the rear section and leaving Todd as the only Wraith still left alive. He manages to land the front half of the Hive Ship on the planet's ocean using the manourvering thrusters and they are rescued by teams from Atlantis before the Hive Ship sinks. Todd is later released to seek a dangerous cure that he is aware of which leaves him grateful to the Atlantis Expitdition.
