Stargate Atlantis is the successor to SG-1, Stargate. The series followed the arc of the Ancients (the superior race) having abandoned Earth millions of years ago. Though they took one thing with them – Atlantis. In order to keep it away from the evil Wraith, they then sunk the entire city. Now a new team has gained access to the city. Upon arrival they realize that Atlantis has lost the power it needs to maintain its protective shield. As a result Atlantis has risen to the surface. And now the team is thrust into a series of adventures.
