When the stargate was first discovered far in the northern iceplains in what was suspected to be a wharen temple in the far north so were it firstly seen as a very interesting historical artefact but nothing more. However due to a chance of fate so did a professor in history, the merchant son Dan jackssen, managed to activate it and the artefact was quickly claimed by the inquisition and the crown created Stargate command in the northern iceplains around a base built for the very purpose of housing the federal stargate command.
Today so is the stargate command a massive organisation on it's own right that is under the joint command of the army, the internal affairs advisory, the royal economic advisory and the royal foreign relations advisory. More than the very small base that it started with so have the organisation grown to encompass a massive complex in the homebase but it has also established two fortresses called the gates to serve as a first line of defence and it is to these fortresses all gate teams returns even if they can start their trip from the home base as well, in fact so is the home address by royal decree not even taught to federal gate team so that they would not be able to hand out the address to hostile powers.
More than the two gates so is the federal stargate program also in command of a trio of dependent planets that are nurtured into becoming federal realms in their own rights in the future even if the gate program would be need to be made public knowledge before that happened. However despite that so do the Unas and humans living there enjoy federal protection and aid in return for naquadha mining which the federation also provides technology for.
Besides that so does these planets also maintain their own armed forces trained to federal standard and commanded by federal officers, some of which is used as federal gate teams in their own right.
History
When the gate in the norhtern iceplains were placed or by whom is not known and even today is it debated by stargate historians if it was the mysterious race that built the gatesystem or the goa'uld that placed it there. What however is known is that the wharen found it and build a small outpost around it.
This outpost did however fall either in the first human migration or the second or as a independent raid between the two human wars, relifs does however speak about the war against both the elves and later on in the mountains between the free northern races and the Wharen so it must have either been established after that or held out during one or both wars against human raids.
In 1894 however so were the temple discovered by an expedition using an ancient runestone which spoke of a Wharen stronghold farther too the north than had previously been imagined that the Wharen had even been. With several inquisition and army divisions ready to face demons or undead or other spawns of dark magic did the expedition find the ruins and broke into it.
However at the time were the whole expedition seen as just a minor footnote when it came to research about the wharen as the only out of the ordinary they found was a strange odd ring and a strange artefact with stones that glowed when you touched them which caused the large ring to spin. As nothing could be made out of it though so were both artefacts moved down to the royal university in Imerbürg where it remained locked up for future research and study. It took until 1981 when the historian Dan jackssen, later on Dan auf Nordanberga son of Jack, formed a theory by studying the reliefs that said that the gate was used to travel to other planets. After a year of study did he even managed to open the portal and present his finds to the royal court and the stargate program was immediately created the day afterwards and a year later were stargate command operating on a regular basis.
The first expedition was to the dependent planet Grödelheim the first trip turned out to be a massive success as not only did the team return with a massive series of tablets containing stargate addresses but they also managed to secure the friendship of the natives, large amounts of alien technology and finally the rights to several naquadha mines which provided the federal research facility with all the naquadha they needed.
Later on were several facilities and colonies added to the federal stargate program as two more planets were incorporated due to their naquadha mines and the two gate facilities were created. Finally so were the gate program also responsible for several breakthroughs in various scientific fields thanks to discoveries made on the other side of the gate.
Primary Facility
The federal stargate high command's headquaters is officially named "Farsta fastningen" or "the first fortress" and it is a secret military command under a mountain in the Northern iceplains. This facility is the home of the stargate and the control but also the location of several vehicle hangars, research facilities, barracks, armouries, medical facilities and several civilian facilities for the personnel like bars and a temple.
The location is hidden under Valter's barg in nordanbergen where a fortress were carved out officially as a nuclear bunker for the crown and the northern tribes in the case of a nuclear war. The entrance is a pair of heavy gates guarded by military personnel, dogs and look outs further out to ensure that only authorised personnel are allowed to enter.
The facility is also guarded by magical enchantments designed to make it hard to scan it from the outside but also uses the same enchantments put up around the royal palace to prevent people from teleporting out and moves people teleporting in to a designated magic void room with locks and doors without any equipment or clothes that they carried that were originally put up in the palace to prevent another kidnapping of the royal family. Further more have it certain enchantments making it more resilient to orbital bombardments to make it harder to hit.
Other Locations
Amongst the first fortress so does the gate command also control the two gate facilities that serves as quarantine facilities, first lines of defence and as testing facilities for equipment and experiment considered too dangerous for testing on earth. Both facilities are located offworld on uninhabited planets, the first gate was established almost directly but have since then been rebuilt and expanded several times. The second gate was created in the late 90's and were built as almost an exact replica of the first gate. Both are built as heavy fortresses with defence first in mind around the gates in an attempt to create a impregnable defence around earth.
Equipment
The soldiers serving under the federal stargate high command are equipped with the same weapons and equipment used by the royal guard even if they have a few weapons designed for them themselves and the unique conditions faced by men operating in the gate network.
Just as the average guardsman so is a member of a gate team armed with a KVG-09, caries grenades, a bayonet, combat knife and a mace however there are many guardsmen that customise their equipment which makes the stargate high command a very unique military organisation within the federation.
List of Equipment in use by federal gateteams:
- KVG-09 service rifle
- KVG-09 carbine
- KVG-attack gevar
- blystorm automatic rifle
- Standard federal revolver
- KVP-06 pistol
- Harald Granatgevar
- KVMG-03 machine gun
- Martin tyngre kulsprute gevar
- Oskar eldgivar
- Captured staff weapons
- Latt spanar fardan scouting vehicle
- Dagger class light track vehicle
- Dirk class tankette
- "Probe" Armed probe for scouting missions
Organisation
Federal gate teams operates in thirty men teams, often consisting of twenty infantrymen, five dragoons and five scientists as a standard gateteam, however so is it not uncommon for the gateteams to include servants, assistants, light machine guns or field cannons team and porters. These teams are further more divided into small groups of ten teams with one command team and one heavy support team as well as a trio of light tanks for larger operations.
Every team is assigned missions from the main command on earth but while offworld do they operate largely independent from other formations and is under the command of the local officer.
