Lucian Alliance

The Lucian Alliance is an organization that features in Stargate.

History

The Lucian Alliance was a criminal organisation that came to operate within the Milky Way galaxy. With the demise of the Goa'uld empire, a power vacuum was formed with a coalition of former smugglers and mercenaries banding together to take advantage of the situation to their benefit. This led to them to becoming a coherent group that was unique in the Milky Way Galaxy and one that was a particular threat even to the newly formed Free Jaffa Nation. (Episode: The Ties That Bind)

At some point, the Lucian Alliance established a smuggling operation involving the genetically engineered kassa crop that was made to be highly addictive. Growing the plant was conducted on the planet of P6G-452 which was discovered by Stargate Command. Around this time, the criminal organization came into conflict with the Goa'uld Ba'al following his thefts across the galaxy which included the one used by the Alliance. (SG1: Off the Grid)

Despite tense relations with Earth, Netan was approached by the Jaffa Teal'c who looked to gather allies against the Ori. He managed to convince the Alliance to send three Ha'tak motherships to join the forces at P3Y-229 where the Ori had secretly constructed a new Supergate. The gateway opened leading to several Ori Motherships arriving through which came to easily decimate the forces assembled against them which included those ships sent by the Lucian Alliance. (SG1: Camelot)

In the aftermath, the Alliance faced a growing number of difficulties ranging from their kassa plantations being ravaged, worlds they traded with being conquered by the Ori and the loss of ships in the recent battle at the Supergate. This resulted in dissent within the Lucian Alliance as questions arose over Netan's leadership with rumours of betrayal and mutiny amongst his Seconds. In particular, Anateo believed that Netan had failed the Alliance as the Ori continued it attacks and that his position as leader was hanging precariously by a thread. Knowing that Anateo was considered to be his most worthy challenger, Netan ordered Anateo to capture the Odyssey, believing that he would fail and be eliminated as competition. However, Anateo lured the Odyssey into an ambush and succeeded in capturing the ship, certain that his success would ensure Netan's downfall and his own succession with one of his men even killing the Odyssey's commanding officer, Colonel Paul Emerson. In a scheme to retake the ship, Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell impersonated Kefflin, one of Netan's most reclusive seconds, and infiltrated the organization. As SG-1 regained control of the ship, Anateo was killed, his men captured, and Tenat and his ship were destroyed. Earth and the Lucian Alliance were officially at war, and Netan's grasp on the Alliance continued to weaken. (SG1: Company of Thieves)

SG-1 continued to plague the Lucian Alliance, targeting and destroying Lucian Alliance freighters and in retaliation, Netan placed a bounty on their heads. During a mission to destroy a cargo transport, SG-1 was hit by what they thought was a scanning beam, but which was instead sophisticated technology that temporarily tagged them with a particularly exotic form of radiation, allowing them to be tracked. A Female Assassin attempted to assassinate Dr. Daniel Jackson in a library, but as she pursued him into the street, she was hit and killed by a bus. On Chulak, Teal'c was wounded in an ambush by Staff weapon fire, and he captured a second assassin who approached him as he slept. Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter was targeted during a presentation at a scientific conference, but was spared when the assassin fired instead at her holographic image. Several prospective bounty hunters who sought the reward for Mitchell were eliminated by Odai Ventrell, who pursued Mitchell to his high school reunion in Auburn, Kansas. There, he held the guests hostage, and captured Mitchell, using him as bait to bring in all of SG-1. However, SG-1 used a clever holographic diversion to capture Ventrell instead. Netan's failure yet again to capture or kill SG-1 would only make him appear weaker to his Seconds, and he again faced the threat of mutiny among his own lieutenants. Seizing the opportunity, SG-1 encouraged Ventrell to take advantage of the unrest within the Lucian Alliance and to seek a reward for capturing Netan instead. SG-1 released Ventrell, who confronted Netan and aimed his weapon, claiming his reward, and leaving the leadership of the fragile Alliance once again in doubt. (SG1: Bounty)

After their failed attempt to capture the Odyssey, which resulted in the death of Colonel Paul Emerson, Earth has declared war on the Alliance.

Sometime later, the Lucian Alliance came to regroup where they looked to plunder the secrets of the Ancients involving a wandering explorer ship named the Destiny. Through their spies, they came to learn that a Stargate led to this vessel and was being studied by the Tau'ri at their off-world facility called Icarus Base. The world possessed a naquadriah core that was used to power the Stargate with the Lucian Alliance staging an attack on the planet. The Stargate Command personnel on the world evacuated through the Stargate to the Destiny with the unstable naquadriah core detonating thus destroying the planet and the Lucian Alliance forces besieging it.

Overview

In appearance, the Lucian Alliance was an organization of humans from a number of sovereign planets who had taken control of the resources and technology of the Goa'uld. (SGU: Incursion, Part 1)

The Lucian Alliance is a powerful shadow organization whose members are smugglers and mercenaries. They formed the Alliance when the strength of the Goa'uld weakened, which left a large power vacuum in the galaxy. It is unknown when the Alliance was formed, but it possibly came together when Anubis was still very powerful. However, the Alliance became stronger after the Goa'uld System Lords were defeated by the Replicators. Their fleet is largely made up of Goa'uld ships, consisting of several Ha'tak motherships, Al'kesh, two small cruisers of a previously unseen design (the same ship Jarlath used in the Loop of Kon Garat), and a Death Glider defense force, in addition to Tel'tak cargo ships.

The members of the Alliance are not afraid of using military force to get what they want. Their trading partners must be known to them and they most times trade with partners from a loose list of alliances. Although they typically don't trade with strangers, if they get a good offer from an unknown person, they will not pass up the chance to trade.

Beneath their leader were a number of lieutenants or Seconds each of whom controlled a division that was part of the Lucian Alliance's territory. There were twenty such individuals that oversaw various operations such as smuggling, extortion, racketeering and trafficking. (SG1: Company of Thieves) It was said that the Alliance was made up of power hungry figures and as such the leadership of the organization was constantly changing. (SGU: Incursion, Part 1)

It was known that the Lucian Alliance employed bounty hunters. (SG1: Bounty)

Violence was seen as a means of enforcing their dominion and for this purpose they controlled a sizable army and numerous motherships. (SGU: Incursion, Part 1) It was said that no one was allowed to defy the Lucian Alliance. (SG1: The Ties That Bind)

One form of income they received was a genetically engineered corn-like crop known as kassa that was grown on worlds and then sold where its addictive properties caused people to purchase more of it. Thus, the Alliance maintained worlds that had farms which grew the crops and then sold the kassa which was used to increase their profits. (SG1: Off The Grid)

They made use of Ha'tak vessels that were part of their fleets. (SG1: Off The Grid)
