History
The Blue
After the humans settled on the ship in 2009, a Blue pod detached itself from the vessel and returned to their people. (SGU: Air, Part 3)
They later followed Destiny into the new galaxy and had been searching for the Ancient ship. (SGU: Deliverance)
The expedition's first known encounter with the alien species occurred when Rush unwittingly activated the distress beacon of a crashed fighter on a Gravel pit planet. They captured Rush and suspended him in one of their holding tanks. Their existence was made known to the rest of the expedition a short time later, when Colonel Everett Young attempted to use the Long-range communication device to contact Earth and was instead connected to one of the aliens. The ship was soon thereafter attacked by their mothership. Chloe Armstrong was kidnapped in the ensuing conflict. Young used the communication device again to mount a rescue, unintentionally finding Rush instead. The link was severed when Rush showed Young how to use the mind probe technology. Young ordered Eli Wallace to destroy the mothership after returning to his body, while Rush rescued Chloe himself and escaped. Though Destiny does not seem to visibly damage the mothership, and was in fact close to destroying itself in the attempt, the mothership retreated shortly after Chloe and Rush escaped in a fighter.

Overview
In appearance, the Blue were a blue-skinned humanoid race of average height seems to be comparable to humans. They are bipedal but with digitigrade locomotion. They also have a pair of fish-like barbels on either side of their heads, beneath their eyes; the index digits on their hands also appear longer than the others with a claw-like feature. Their eyes seem to glow or reflect large amounts of light. Physically, they appear to be somewhat weaker than humans, as Dr. Nicholas Rush was able to overpower and strangle one without much effort. They communicate with each other in clicks and screeches, but it appears their vocal cords are either weak or non-existent as Young was unable to speak to Rush with any kind of tonal language when he was in his alien host. Based on their appearance and the ubiquity of water on their vessel, they may be an aquatic or amphibious species. The atmosphere on their ships is comfortable for humans, so they are also clearly capable of breathing oxygen. (SGU: Space)
The alien pathogen was capable of altering the brain of other races such as humans allowing them to understand the Blue's language and technology. (SGU: Pathogen)
