- "Everyone knows that they have caused us more grief than any other adversary, including the Ori. All the seconds, including me, have begged Netan to go after them, but he refused. He's a coward, choosing to run and hide rather than face the wrath of the Tau'ri."
- ―Anateo
The Tauri-Lucian Alliance war (2006-present) was a war between the Tau'ri and the Lucian Alliance.
History
The Lucian Alliance originally didn't want a war, particularly Netan who felt the Tau'ri were powerful enough to be a formidable enemy. The war became official after the Hijack of the Odyssey. (SG1: "The Ties That Bind", "Off the Grid", "Flesh and Blood", "Company of Thieves", "Bounty")
Retrieving Caius' cargo ship
- "Unfortunately, that ship is now in the hands of the Lucian Alliance."
- ―Vala Mal Doran
In 2005, in an effort to unlink Vala Mal Doran and Daniel Jackson from the effects of Nut's bracelets, Arlos Kadawam was contacted in order to find a way to unlink the two. However, a series of trades was required to get Arlos to reveal to what needed to be done to break the bond. This included retrieving Caius' cargo ship from the hands of the Lucian Alliance. However, upon SG-1 stealing the ship from Jup and Tenat, a fleet of Alliance controlled Al'kesh surrounded the Tel'tac. Fortunately, by using phantom energy signatures and an electromagnetic pulse wave (features Caius customized onto his ship), they were able to jump into hyperspace and escape. (SG1: "The Ties That Bind")
Battle of the Stargates
- Main article: Battle of the Stargates
- "Shields are holding but down eleven percent, Sir. The Lucian Alliance ship shows minimal damage."
- ―Kevin Marks
In 2006, SG-3 came across an addictive crop called Kassa. SG-1 was then sent to P6G-452, the planet of which the crop was grown, to investigate. There, Lt. Col. Mitchell went undercover as a potential Kassa buyer to learn more about the addictive crop. This landed him in trouble and just before Worrel was about to executed him, he was rescued by the rest of SG-1 and made a run for the Stargate. With a firefight in the process, just as Jackson was about to dial the gate, Ba'al intervened and beamed the Gate away, leaving the team stranded on the planet where they were then captured for two days until the Odyssey beamed them away.
Meanwhile, Nerus (recently released from Area 51) returned to Ba'al's ship, planted on him a beacon to transmit his position to the Odyssey. When trying to use his technology within Ba'al's ship, a virus, created by Dr. Lee executes, disabling the ship's defenses and rendering it blind to the arriving Odyssey. SG-1 then beamed aboard the ship and begins planting locator beacons on the captured Stargate to be beamed aboard Odyssey. However, the Lucian Alliance detected Ba'al as well and three Ha'taks begin firing on his defenseless vessel. Ba'al quickly managed to restore his shields, preventing Odyssey from beaming out SG-1 and the final gate. With Jaffa closing in, SG-1 used the last gate to return to Earth. Soon after, Ba'al's ship was destroyed and the Odyssey, not battle-ready, escaped into hyperspace when the Lucian Alliance vessels target them. (SG1: "Off the Grid")
Battle of P3Y-229
- Main article: Battle of P3Y-229
- "Committing our ships to cooperate in a fight against the Ori incursion was a strategic mistake."
- ―Cameron Mitchell impersonating Kefflin
The Alliance would later come to help other Milky Way species in the Battle of P3Y-229, in which the Ori were trying to send a fleet of spaceships to the galaxy through a Supergate. This cooperation happened thanks to Teal'c.
However, the Ori ships came through the Supergate and, in the ensuing battle, which included ships of the Tau'ri, Asgard, Jaffa, Tok'ra and the Alliance, two Alliance-controlled Ha'taks were destroyed and the remaining one was severely damaged. The Lucian Alliance immediately turned on the Tau'ri, with Netan accusing them of luring his forces into a slaughter so as to weaken him. Only the arrival of a force of Jaffa vessels led by Bra'tac forced the Alliance to withdraw. (SG1: "Flesh and Blood", " Camelot")
Hijack of the Odyssey
- Main article: Hijack of the Odyssey
- "Anateo hasn't just captured the Odyssey. He's using it to bait a trap for SG-1."
- ―Cameron Mitchell impersonating Kefflin
In late 2006, the Lucian Alliance made a failed attempt to capture the Tau'ri battlecruiser Odyssey, resulting in the death of its commander Colonel Paul Emerson. Anateo attempted the hijacking under Netan's orders and succeeded, planning to use it to take over the Alliance himself. Daniel and Vala were captured and taken to the ship while Mitchell infiltrated the Lucian Alliance. Teal'c ended up being captured, but after Tennat (who though Mitchell was a bounty hunter) was tricked by Mitchell he freed him and took him to Tennat's ship for the journey to the Odyssey. Aboard the Odyssey Daniel and Vala broke free and managed to kill Anateo by beaming him into space and re-took control of the ship.
The crew began repairs focusing on the hyperdrive, but two Lucian Alliance motherships showed up before they could finish. Daniel took command of the ship and attempted to buy time, but failed. Mitchell, pretending to be Netan, tricked Tennat into attacking Netan's ship causing the two ships to shoot at each other. Teal'c contacted the Odyssey and had himself and Mitchell beamed aboard while Vala managed to fix the hyperdrive, allowing the Odyssey to escape to hyperspace. Netan's ship destroyed Tennat's, killing Tennat. Earth officially declared war on the Lucian Alliance after these events. (SG1: "Company of Thieves")
Tau'ri attacks and bounty
- "This isn't about kassa… This is about them trying to make me look weak. I can't allow them to interfere with our operations any longer. Put the word out. As of this moment, I'm placing a bounty on their heads."
- ―Netan
In 2007, the Alliance would find its Kassa transport convoys raided by SG-1 strikes, who would ring aboard from a cloaked Tel'tac and plant enough C-4 to completely destroy it, which seriously threatened the standing of Netan. He placed a bounty on the heads of SG-1 which failed and, as a result, his standing within the Lucian Alliance was further diminished with his lieutenants attempting to kill him. Currently, the leadership of the Lucian Alliance remains unknown when Netan was cornered by the bounty hunter Odai Ventrell, who may have taken Netan's place as the leader of the Alliance. (SG1: "Bounty")
Attack on the Icarus Base
In 2009, a group of Ha'tak motherships, along with several Death gliders and a Troop Transport, launched an attack against Icarus Base. It was unknown if they were Lucian Alliance Motherships or some Goa'uld power. It was also unknown on how they found the location of Icarus base. Nicholas Rush believed the attack to be caused because of the research into the Stargate's ninth chevron that was being done at the base. This is because several Milky Way galaxy races, including the Alliance, have taken a keen interest in the purpose of the ninth chevron as many believe it to lead to a source of great power.
