Satedan

The Satedans were native to the planet Sateda, and once a civilization with technology at least comparable with Earth at WWII. Despite their potentially very advanced nature, they met the fate of all advanced civilizations in the Pegasus Galaxy when they were attacked and apparently destroyed seven years ago by the Wraith. Their main city fell, however about 300 people managed to make it to the shelters west of the capital and later moved to other planets such as Belkan and Manaria.

Specialist Ronon Dex is from Sateda and joined the Atlantis expedition.

A number of Satedans were captured by the Wraith and were offered eternal life in exchange for their services. Ronon killed most of that team. Under certain circumstances Satedans will engage in hand to hand combat to resolv a conflict, and it is dishonorable to use weapons.

Military
Like the Genii, the Satedans also ran a military operation to other planets. Many members were highly trained and attempted to deter the Wraith from Sateda, which ultimately failed.
