Tholus
|
M11-730, by the natives named Tholus, is an inhabited planet in the Pegasus Galaxy. There is a human population there with a technological level similar to that of Earth in the late 19th or early 20th century, with much of the technology based on water and steam. This rise in CO2 levels, among other things, is detected by a MALP sent by the Atlantis Expedition in 2006. Guessing there could be humans on the planet, Dr Weir sends AR-6 for a recon.
The Tholusians have built a dome over their Stargate to protect it from both inside and outside forces. It is a republic democracy led by an elected Chancellor. It is a complex political system with its own military. The Ancients once had facilities or buildings here. There are many ruins spread over the planet, including old catacombs which the people here use to take shelter in during Cullings. The catacombs are shielded and have saved many lives. obsessionalRecon Eight (Brittany, Bergqvist, Hobbs, Nadeau) makes First Contact with the people of Tholus on April 15, 2006. The next day, Earth time, AR-8 report back to Atlantis that the leader of a settlement on Tholus, Chancellor Ferna, wants to discuss negotiations with a Tau'ri representative. Dr Weir sends AR-1 do make an agreement with Ferna and her government.
