This is Star Trek... You do not have to be a Stargate fan to join.  Stargate-Union was originally founded by blevok in 2009 as a place to gather players who were also Stargate fans. In 2010 it became a refuge for members of several different clans in another game, Stargate Resistance, which had recently gone offline.  Since then, SGU has grown into a home for any and all fans of sci-fi.  We believe in peaceful coexistence with other TV shows, and we strive to maintain a drama free environment to play in.  If you're here to have a good time, you are welcome to join. I saw another fleet with a similar name... Stargate Union, same thing but without the hyphen... whats up with that? Stargate Union was our original fleet.  Around the start of 2013, there was a mutiny in the fleet.  Several of the people that we trusted to help us lead the fleet rose up against us, and kicked us from the fleet.  With the way the fleet system operated at the time, anyone that held the highest rank had the power to do anything to anyone in the fleet, including fellow leaders.  Due to our trusting nature and our spirit of cooperation, we gladly shared this power with those that were trusted to help lead.  We assumed they had the respect to not do anything to harm the fleet, but in the end, they were just power hunrgy, and they stole the fleet from us.  We reformed the fleet here, at Stargate-Union.  We deeply regret this turn of events, and we are grateful to all those that left the old fleet to rejoin the real Stargate-Union, and also to those that continue to join. Do you have a question?  You can ask the fleet anything on the Stargate-Union forum.  All fleet members and allies are encouraged to join.
