- "Welcome to P2X-649. Please follow me to the Delta Site, or as Captain Hart calls it, 'Thunderbird Site'."

P2X-649 is a planet in the Milky Way Galaxy with a Stargate. It is the location of the Tau'ri outpost Delta Site.
Overview[]
P2X-649 is a hot and humid tropical planet. Its gravity is about a third of that of Earth. The atmosphere is breathable, though a little thin. It has unstable tectonic activity. Geysers and ground fissures are common hazards between the stargate and the bay. There's also a jungle.
The planet's foliage is blue in color, the reasoning of which is most likely that the plants possibly draw most of their nutrients from minerals in the soil rather than from the sunlight. P2X-649's sun is a red dwarf. There's tree sap by the planet's stargate that has a smell similar to oranges and feels slightly thicker than most Earth plants.
Prior to the creation of Delta Site, there was no signs of humanoid life on the planet. (RPG: "Ave Maria", "Perfidy")
History[]
- "Ah, good, good. Well, come on, better get going. I got to be honest with you. I'm looking forward to this one, except for the jungle. And the natural predators, I assume, live there. And the possible Jaffa. Well, grab your bags."
- ―Dr. Rodney McKay[src]
In 2003, an Asgard science vessel that was meeting with Phoenix-9 was attacked by Wepwawet's forces, the vessel made an emergency landing on the planet and crashed into a bay. The Asgard gave the Tau'ri salvage rights to the ship.
Dr. Rodney McKay went with a Phoenix team to the planet to turn off the ship's auto destruct system and get the ship up and running. (RPG: "Ave Maria")
During the span of the next 48 hours, a military camp called Delta Site, also known as Thunderbird Site, was constructed in a defensible position on the planet. Wepwawet sent Jaffa to the planet on multiple occasions, but Phoenix-3 defended the planet's stargate. The Asgard vessel was also brought back up to the surface of the water by Phoenix Site repair teams. (RPG: "Perfidy")
Indigenous animals[]
The jungle has animal life, such as the Plant Predator. (RPG: "Ave Maria")
