The Asuran Occupation of Atlantis
The Asuran occupation of Atlantis began after a surviving Lantean crew reclaimed the city from the Earth expedition. The Ancients ordered Weir’s personnel to leave, believing they could restore their old authority, but Asuran forces soon attacked and killed most of them. This episode examines how Oberoth’s soldiers seized the city, trapped General Jack O’Neill and Richard Woolsey inside, and gained access to systems the expedition could not allow them to control. Sheppard’s team defied orders and returned to Pegasus, joining O’Neill in a counterattack built around anti-Replicator weapons and knowledge of Atlantis’s hidden passages. The operation required fighting an enemy able to repair itself, manipulate technology, and assume human form. By destroying the occupying force and retaking the control room, the team restored Earth’s presence in Atlantis. The crisis demonstrated that Ancient ownership alone could not defend the city and that the Asurans considered themselves heirs with an equally powerful claim.
