They are now proud to present the "Povstání Aschenu*", the Czech translation of The Rise of the Aschen: "While visiting a planet inhabited by a peaceful agricultural society Grant, Sivea, Chase and Christine run into an old enemy: The Aschen. However, for some reason the Aschen posses detailed information about the entire Horizon crew, and they claim they are in need of their help. As Grant is captured by the Aschen Commander Elin, Sivea tries to get help from the Vorian Command Council to free Grant, who has been taken to the Aschen home world. While Grant learns more of what's behind the Aschen's intentions, Sivea makes a startling discovery. It would appear that there is a large scale conspiracy going on, and her own people seem to be involved." So head on over and download the latest czech translation here: http://www.sga-project.com/horizon/epizody.html 16 Oct 2005 by Elite Anubis Guard ***** [ #2 ] ***** * Stargate Horizon - Troika Released http://sg-universe.net/news/3/1129233034/ Well here we are, another Thursday, another Horizon.

So head on over, and download 2x04 - Troika. Be sure to drop by the Stargate Universe Forums and tell us what you thought.

This article was somewhat special in a few ways, as it talked about birthdays. In particular the SG Horizon birthday, Sam Jones (one of the crew) and the birthdays of the virtual cast. He also talks about tonights episode, Troika and the upcoming comedy episode, The Fantastic Three "I'm very eager to start writing the script for "The Fantastic Three." The outline is almost done, and work on the script will begin next week. I think this will be a fun episode. In my last blog update I mentioned Patrick McKenna, and some of you figured out who he is. He's a great and very funny guy. So, you think Felger will be one of the "Fantastic Three?" Who knows? Maybe I know...but maybe I don't. I'll say it's possible. Anything's possible. But who are the other two? And why is the episode called "The Fantastic Three?" All I can say is, the title clearly does not take itself all too seriously. You'll see once the episode will be here. Writing the outline has been a tone of fun; can't wait to move on to the script." So head on over and read the full article. 14 Oct 2005 by Elite Anubis Guard ***** [ #4 ] ***** * Other Series - Updates http://sg-universe.net/news/7/1129216452/ Well we're proud to add a new series to our Other Series section, Stargate Legacy: "Legacy follows the adventures of an expedition that is sent to Heliopolis, an abandoned Goa'uld facility built by Thoth, 'god of knowledge', in a region of the MW-Galaxy, known as the "Acheron Expanse". While operating from Heliopolis, the expedition runs into a fearsome new enemy aswell as helpful new friends." You can find out more at the Stargate Legacy Blog and forum. On the topic of our Other Series section, both Atlas and Czech Quest have recived a number of updates and new information. Both have new websites up, visit the SG Atlas website where you can find information about the show, and visit their blog while you're at it as it contains alot of information. Same goes for Czech Quest. The website is now online, and the blog also contains quite a bit of information regarding the series. Well until next time...which should be later when Horizon 2x04 comes out...goodbye. 14 Oct 2005 by Elite Anubis Guard ***** [ #5 ] ***** * Stargate Destiny - Looking for writers http://sg-universe.net/news/5/1129099513/ Well the folks over at Stargate Destiny are looking for writers. Here is what Creator, Geoff (aka wraithslayer) has to say: "Hey, wraithslayer here, and in case you don't know, I'm the executive producer and creator of Stargate Destiny, which, might I add, was the first ship based VS to be posted about here. (No offense, other ship based series people :) ) So, we currently have four writers (EAG, terminus, esquin and myself), two of whom are full time, and one concept artist on the staff. But seeing as we are aiming for an early 2006 premire, I have come to realize that we may need some more help. So, basically, I'm here on a mission to see if anyone here would be interested in helping. Here's a bit of info on what we're looking for as far as writers (dont worry, there arent that many requirments): - Willing to write one or two season one episodes - Pitching ideas for episodes or concepts - Nice grammar skills :) - Thorough knowledge of things Stargate If you want more information, you can go to the Stargate Destiny Forum or the Stargate Destiny Blog. If you are interested, you can PM me, or email me at grh1010@hotmail.com. A writing sample will be required, and like applying for SGH, it can either be in script or novel format. It doesnt have to be very long either. On a final note, we're not just looking for writers; anyone with CG experience who is willing to help would be greatly appreciated, and although our website admin (EAG) is fantastic, anyone else with website experience would be cool too. Thanks for your time everyone." So if you think you're interested, be sure to contact them here: http://stargatehorizon.proboards23.com/index.cgi?board=Allthingscreative&action=display&thread=1128839681&page=1 12 Oct 2005 by Elite Anubis Guard ***** [ #6 ] ***** * Stargate Horizon - New Slovak Translations http://sg-universe.net/news/3/1129052714/ The people responsable for the slovak translation of SG Horizon, have just released two new episodes. A Time to Survive: "While Grant, David, and Tom must find a way of escaping the Enoly prison camp, De'van Callen and the Horizon crew find themselves facing a threat which could easily lead to the end of peace inside Vorian space. As the Kih'Andari demand that Horizon be handed over to them, tensions rise, and the end of peace seems unavoidable." Season one's, Starship Lost: "The team discovers a ship crashed on a moon in the Triangulum galaxy. A non-corporeal life form follows them back through the gate and remains on Horizon. While the strange alien seems to have a special interest in Christine, the station faces another threat that could lead to its destruction." So if you're a slovakian or read slovak, head on over and download A Time to Survive or Starship Lost. 12 Oct 2005 by Elite Anubis Guard ***** [ #7 ] ***** * Donate - help me pay for the site! http://sg-universe.net/news/1/1128938114/ As anyone who has ever set up a website before knows, these things cost money. At the moment the costs are low, however, if you do feel generous then I'd really appriciate any donations which you can give smile I have added a funky donat-meter which shows the current amount of donations and what is required per year, as you will see, its not much at all at the moment, which is why if some of you can spare $5-$10 a year then it will be easily covered. Payments accepted over PayPal. At the moment we don't have any special features online for those who donate, however, we do have some ideas and if you donate now you will gain access to them when they are put online. You can donate to the SGU-website-fund by clicking this link! Note: ALL of the donations will go into paying for hosting 10 Oct 2005 by Valórin ***** [ #8 ] ***** * Stargate Horizon - The Making of A Time to Survive http://sg-universe.net/news/2/1128859938/ Unfortunetly it was late to be released on their website but now it is online. Like the previous installment in the series, the "Making of" is a PDF document which contains details on the episodes evolution and various notes about things in the episode. Head on over and download the Making of A Time to Survive. 10 Oct 2005 by Elite Anubis Guard
