Three months ago in a city on Tegalus, a group of Tegalan tourists are being guided in a museum, to one of its most well know artifacts, "The Great Ring of Avidan" (the Stargate), which was discovered over 150 years ago on the Kirellian wastelands. Jackson later remembers that a terrible event happened, resulting in many deaths, and he believes that he was at fault for what had transpired over the previous months. They are "many miles" from "the city" in the house that once belonged to Leda's uncle. When she is done, the two can see each other with their own eyes for the first time. Jackson is being tended to by Leda, an attractive young woman, who is now unwrapping the bandages around his head. Leda unbandages an injured Daniel Jackson.ĭoctor Daniel Jackson wakes up badly injured, stranded off world on the planet Tegalus, which has a somewhat advanced civilization similar to Earth's in the 1940s. Jackson cannot reach home, as the rebels have taken control of the planet's Stargate, and he must rely on a small band of soldiers led by Jared Kane from the planet's military to take back the city and defeat the rebel leader, Soren if Jackson is to have any chance of getting back to Earth.
Daniel Jackson is declared MIA after he was in the middle of a World War on Tegalus, which the rebels have won.
