"Our people came here as part of an expedition. One of several to find a viable world"

―Jason

The Novus colony was a planet once visited by the Destiny expedition. There they met descendants of their alternate selves, who had traveled through the gate and were presumed dead, but actually traveled two thousands years back in time.

These people were originally from the planet Novus, which was becoming dangerous to inhabit and sent people through the gate in order to establish colonies on nearby planets. However, the gate on Novus became inaccessible and not having another gate within range the expedition became stranded for thirty years.

After they were discovered by the Destiny Expedition, the colonists helped supply the Destiny with vegetable goods, though in return they asked the Destiny crew to transport them back to their home planet. At first, Destiny crew was unsure about allowing the request, considering the strain that would mean, to their supplies, but after the Drones attacked the colony, in search of Destiny, the crew accepted their request.
