Doranda was a planet in the Pegasus galaxy. It was one of the planets the Lanteans had seeded with human life, who were described as a peaceful and "wonderful" people.

History

Doranda from oribt.

During the war with the Wraith, the Lantean Council ordered the scientists working on Project Arcturus to build an outpost and conduct research on the project. Eventually, a Wraith fleet arrived, including a hive ship, intending to cull the planet.

The Daedalus flees Doranda

The Lanteans destroyed the Wraith fleet using their experimental power source and one of their weapons. Unfortunately, Project Arcturus had not been perfected: It began to overload and the weapon ended up destroying not only the orbiting Wraith ships, but leveling every building within range on the planet's surface. The Lanteans eventually managed to shut down both the weapon and the power source, but they were all killed by hard radiation while doing so.

10,000 years later, Rodney McKay attempted to perfect Project Arcturus, but ended up destroying Doranda and 5/6ths of the surrounding solar system when the power core overloaded once again, this time beyond control. (SGA: "Trinity")
