The Chase of Ronon Dex was an event that took place in 2006 during the Tau'ri-Wraith war.
Prelude[]
A village of people who were culled due to Ronon Dex 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.[3]
Battle[]
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 Leader responsible for the destruction of his homeworld. The Wraith Leader has him implanted with another Wraith tracker 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, Dr. Rodney McKay manages to track down his tracking device and Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, McKay, Teyla Emmagan and Dr. Carson 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 Leader 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 Leader with a drone fired from the Jumper.[3]
Aftermath[]
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.[3]
