Ancient History

The Alterans are the first evolution of humans, having evolved tens of milions of years ago, at an unknown place. Over the millions of years they did great things, and created technology so powerful that they could create wormholes at will, and evolved to such a point that they could heal with a touch.
Eventually, they created the starate network. A network of devices that created wormholes between two points. This crossed two whole galaxies, and allowed the ancients to discover great things. This was their downfall.
Whilst exloring they discovered an insect-like species that latched onto its victims and drained them of their life. In their curiosity, the experiments of the Ancients gradually caused tese creatures to evolve into the agressive species that would be known as the Wraith.
The Wraith somehow got into a position of great power. They had massive fleets, and millions of troops. They crossed Pegasus, and drained the life of many humans.
Even with their superior technology the Ancients could not properly fight the Wrait fleets,a s they were greatly outnumbered. One by one the outposts fell, and the ships were scattered. Eventually, the Ancients retreated to their great city, Atlantis. The Wraith laid a siege for years, but they could not beat Atlantis. The Ancients saw that the Wraith would never leave them, so they submerged the city, and used the Stargate to retreat to the Milky Way, and Earth.
