The Alterans, also known as the Ancients, were a formidable scientific race lasting millennia. The Alteran society split off from the Ori for differing opinions over science and religion, and moved to the Milky Way galaxy, specifically Dakara. They were the Stargate-builders and pioneers in technology which has been scattered throughout the galaxy over time. However, a plague killed many of their race; the remaining Alterans moved with their city-ship, Atlantis, to the Pegasus galaxy.
While they prospered in Pegasus, they eventually met another downfall at the many hands of the Wraith, forcing them to abandon Atlantis and return to the Milky Way. Their final goals were to live out their individual lives in meditation, knowledge and peace. Some Alterans ascended, while others died.
