The Eurondans were a race of Humans who were descended from the Tau'ri of Earth, referring to them as their "kindred". The Eurondan homeworld, Euronda, was once a green world for many years, until a war erupted between the so-called Breeders and the Eurondans.
History[]
The Eurondans lived and reproduced based entirely on a concept of genetic purity. They grew disgusted with another nation on their world, which they referred to as "Breeders" due to the fact that they reproduced indiscriminately, resulting in a more ethnically diverse population. They made plans to eradicate the Breeders by poisoning the atmosphere of the planet, making it uninhabitable. The Breeders discovered this, and took preemptive action against their neighbors. The Eurondans sequestered themselves in a vast underground base, and continued the war through the use of their advanced technology. Due to limited supplies, most of the Eurondan population went into stasis to conserve resources.
After they were about to fall, they contacted the Tau'ri by Stargate, for their urgent need for help. They agreed on giving the Tau'ri access to their advanced technologies to fight the Goa'uld, in exchange for supplies and heavy water. SG-1, especially Daniel Jackson, were suspicious of fighting an enemy about whom they knew nothing. However, the Eurondans refused to listen to Jackson's suggestions to evacuate their populace through the Stargate to another world. Eventually, the rest of the team discovered their xenophobia, such as discovering that the people in the stasis chambers look exactly the same, and Alar's racist comment about Teal'c. When they learned that the Eurondans started the war, they tried to stop them, realizing they were helping the enemy. SG-1 assisted the Breeder bombers in destroying the facility. The Eurondan facility was heavily damaged, and all apparent information leads to the Breeders retaking complete control of the planet. The Eurondans were likely all killed or captured.

This encounter ultimately taught Stargate Command to be wary of giving any military technology to any potential allies, especially those who had any genocidal intentions. (SG1: "Shadow Play")
Stargate RPG Survival[]
From a report by in-game character (may be non-canon) Captain Rodriguez Chapter 11
"You’d think being stuck in a collapsing bunker, with enemy forces approaching your position, would get rid of any threat. Unfortunately, it appears not. Like an unwelcome blast from the past, the Eurondans seem to be back.
Since that first encounter, teams from SGC and Phoenix Site encountered “enemy x” several times. That’s an assessment not made on visual confirmation, but on tactics and weaponry. Phoenix-1 was the first team to make visual contact, and we recognized the Eurondans by their style of dress. Technically our orders were strictly to observe, but they spotted us just as we saw them, and one thing led to another. The information below is courtesy of the Eurondan we questioned.
The so-called “Breeder” attack on the Eurondan bunker reduced the entrance to rubble, making it difficult for their forces to get inside. This gave the Eurondans time to dial a new gate address and make their escape, albeit without Alar, who was already particle dust on SGC’s iris. From what Donar, our Eurondan prisoner, told us they had a very rough time of it in the immediate aftermath. The galaxy is full of inhabited planets and hostile species, nor were the Eurdonans willing to settle on a pre-industrial world and start from scratch. Eventually, they came upon a planet with ruins from a once-promising civilization. They named it New Euronda. We pressed Donar for the gate address, but he resisted. As my team isn’t versed in interrogation and we had another Eurondan patrol closing on our position, we tabled that question and pressed for the rest of the story instead.
The Eurondans don’t know why the previous occupants abandoned this planet. Perhaps they failed the societal leap to advanced technology. Either way, the technology they left gave the Eurondans footholds to incorporate their own. Donar refused to share details, but said: “we remain technologically vastly superior to you.” After deliberation, the New Eurondans sent a team back to Euronda. They found many cryogenic chambers intact. We’d have to go back to Euronda to investigate why the Breeders left the cryogenic units. Perhaps they never made it into the bunker- -closing off the air supply is undoubtedly easier and less risky. The New Eurondan scout team found vast numbers of empty but intact cryo- pods, which they’ve moved to New Euronda and reanimated. We know this because Donar gleefully told us about their “superior numbers.”
Here’s where I get to the really bad news. They hate the Tau’ri. I won’t repeat Donar’s rather spectacular and somewhat incoherent rant, but it comes down to the fact that we abandoned them to the Breeders, that we are genetically “impure.” I informed him I am 100% Puerto Rican, but I don’t think that’s the kind of purity he meant. Our teams running into them isn’t a coincidence either. They’re actively visiting planets where they expect
SGC teams to be, in an effort to obtain a remote, and gain access to Earth. They intend to conquer Earth as the land of their forebears. I don’t know if they’ve caught on to the existence of the Phoenix Site, but Donar probably noticed our insignia. If so, they might try to take the Phoenix Site as a first foothold in their attack on Earth.
At this point, the second Eurondan patrol uncovered our location. I considered taking Donar back to the Phoenix Site, but decided against it. Neither SGC nor Phoenix Site is equipped to detain an alien prisoner for longer periods, and I’m hesitant about handing anyone over to the NID. While we had checked Donar for weapons, I also felt our search wasn’t as extensive as it should be with people willing to use biological weapons. Unleashing a plague only takes one Eurondan volunteer to be taken to Earth. On that note, I’m writing this report from the quarantine unit. Here’s hoping I’m alive when SGC reads this."
Update to file[]
I’ve released Phoenix-1 from quarantine. They were free of diseases, save for Bervel, who hasa common cold again. Captain Rodriguez’ notion of quarantining teams after close contact with a Eurondan is sensible, and I’ve since updated the protocols. The Eurondan leadership SG-1 encountered seemed to prioritize self-preservation, but we don’t know how badly they poisoned their newly awakened members against us.

Technology[]
- Main article: Eurondan technology
The Eurondans were at least 100 years ahead of Earth technologically in the year 2000. Such technologies include Aero-fighter, which are unmanned and uses a Neural interface from a Remote Flyer. Much of their technologies are powered by the deuterium from heavy water.
