The '''Icarus base''' was a [[Tau'ri]] facility located 21 light-year from [[Earth]], on [[P4X-351]], financed and used by the [[IOA]] in order to dial the only 9 chevron address found in the [[Ancient database]]. It has been destroyed along with the planet by [[Lucian Alliance]] forces in [[2009]].

== Overview ==

The facility is actually a bunker digged inside a mountain. A landpath for [[F-302]]s has been built at the bottom of the mountain. The facility is guarded by [[rail gun]]s. There is no way to beam anybody inside due to a shielding technology. The only "beaming" way in or out is outside the bunker. Because incoming [[wormhole]]s are too dangerous, the [[Icarus dialing computer]] has been modified to only accept outcoming addresses ([[SGU]]: {{ep|Air, Part 1}}).

== History ==

In [[2007]], the base was a mining outpost. A [[David Telford|source]] working from inside the [[Lucian Alliance]] found this planet that would support the power requirements for the [[Icarus project]] as the [[P4X-351|planet]]'s core is composed of [[naquadria]]. The [[Tau'ri]] built the base on the planet, in the hope to dial the only [[nine-chevron address]] found in the [[Ancient database]] ([[SGU]]: {{ep|Air, Part 1}}, {{ep|Human}}).

== Evolution ==

=== {{ep|Air, Part 1}} ([[2009]]) ===

[[USS Hammond|USS ''Hammond'']] brings several people from [[Earth]] on the Icarus base; [[Senator]] [[Alan Armstrong]], his daughter [[Chloe Armstrong|Chloe]] who is also his executive assistant, [[Eli Wallace]] who found the equation of the [[puzzle of Dakara]] in the ''[[Prometheus (game)|Prometheus]]'' game, and Dr. [[Nicholas Rush]]. Soon after their arrival, the base is attacked by [[Lucian Alliance]] forces. When Colonel [[Everett Young]] tries to defend the base on the ground, Colonel [[David Telford]] takes a [[F-302]] to defend the airspace. Inside the base, Rush begs Wallace to find a solution for the 9 chevron address as the [[P4X-351|planet]]'s core is in the verge to blow. Wallace finds out that the address has to be entered as this, with Earth as [[point of origin]]. Rush orders Sergeant [[Hunter Riley]] to stop the ongoing [[dialing sequence]] and to begin the 9 chevron sequence.

Aboard ''Hammond'', Major [[Kevin Marks]] reads massive energy peaks on P4X-351. Colonel [[Samantha Carter]] orders do bring back all the F-302s including Colonel Telford team's. When Colonel Young learns that Earth has not been called but the 9 chevron address, he comes back in the corridors and orders Lieutenant [[Matthew Scott]] to make sure everybody takes the maximum of supplies for the evacuation. Young, with the help of [[Master Sergeant]] [[Ronald Greer]], uses explosives to free Senator Armstrong and other base members who have been trapped in a wall collapsing.

Everybody, with their loads and Scott as lead, pass through the [[Stargate]] and retrieve themselves stranded in a remote [[Ancient]] vessel, several millions light-years away from Earth. Colonel Young is the last to "pass" through the [[wormhole]], the very moment before the planet exploses, destroying all the Alliance attack forces and two F-302s.

When Colonel Carter asks [[Lieutenant General]] [[Jack O'Neill]] about the number of people who have reach Earth. O'Neill replies that no one did. According the Carter, the Stargate was active for six minutes.

== Notes ==

== Behind the scenes ==

* Icarus base set has been built on Stage 5 [[Bridge Studios]] at [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]], the very set of the [[SGC]] control and briefing rooms, which has been dismantled.
