The Raid on the Wraith weapons research facility was an event that took place in 2007 during the Tau'ri-Wraith war.
Prelude[]
They offered Ronon and Lt. Colonel John Sheppard's team to join them on a mission to destroy a Wraith technology base that was working on a way to turn off the Asurans' attack code.[3]
Battle[]
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard's team teams up with Ronon Dex's old friends from Sateda Tyre, Rakai and Ara to attack a Wraith weapons research facility. Initially they are reluctant as the Wraith are at war with the Asurans, but agree after learning that one of the things that the lab is studying is a way to shut off the Asurans attack command. The two groups head there via Puddle Jumper, but Sheppard, Dr. Rodney McKay and Teyla Emmagan are captured when the others betray them as they are really Wraith worshippers having been driven insane by repeated feedings and restorations of life. The Wraith want McKay to figure out how to deactivate the attack command as he was the one that reactivated it in the first place and the changes he'd made to the Asuran base code had made their deactivation virus that they had used the first time, useless. They planned to force McKay to change it so that it would work and upload it through a captured Asuran. Ronon managed to escape through the Stargate and brought back a rescue team lead by Colonel Samantha Carter which distracted the Wraith Darts guarding the lab by drawing them off with a Puddle Jumper. The rescue team frees Sheppard and Teyla and frees McKay just as the captured Asuran escapes due to power fluctuations caused by the rescue. The Asuran ignores them and runs off and presumably follows the Wraith attack command and kills the remaining Wraith in the lab. The Wraith Commander is caught by Ronon, but his friends arrive and the Commander leaves them to deal with Ronon. Ronon fights them in hand-to-hand combat and Rakai accidentally kills Ara after which Ronon kills him.[3]
Aftermath[]
Ronon lets Tyre go saying that there had been enough death that day. He then returns to his true friends: Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Carter and the rest of the Atlantis expedition who he'd been prepared to leave to rejoin his friends from Sateda.[3]
