The Alpha Site is a secondary offworld base of Stargate Command (SGC). This base is used in case an evacuation of the SGC is necessary. Off-world SG teams will contact the Alpha Site in case they are unable to make contact with the SGC. There have been three Alpha Sites so far. The Alpha Sites are changed to different planets if the location is compromised. The Alpha Site is also used by Earth's allies: mainly the Tok'ra, and Rebel Jaffa if they require a secure location to hide from the Goa'uld. The Alpha Site has been used as a testing facility for Earth's new prototype spacecraft.

In an alternate universe encountered by Daniel Jackson,the Alpha Site was referred to as the Beta Site and had the same coordinates as the Alpha Site. A Beta Site also exists in the SG-1 universe; however, this acts as a back-up to the Alpha Site and is located on a different planet.
