Then something happened, a plaque struck them, and this plaque nearly wiped out all life in the Milky Way galaxy.  And many ancients died because of it.  The ancients fought a slow but losing war against the plaque.  It is because of the plaque the ancients did many things that they did.  Ie, going to the Pegasus galaxy and seeding humans, research on ascension, creating the "Life maker/destroy device" etc etc.  Eventually, the ancients learnt how to ascend to being of pure energy (which effectively eliminated the plaque, and the physical body).  The humans evolved on earth, in the foot step of the ancients.  (which is probably not accidental, but one of the previous effort by the ancients to preserve their race).  Then, on another planet, a race of parasitic being called ghould evolved.  A ghould named Ra came to earth, and found humans far better hosts than the big Unas that served as pervious hosts (which really made no sense, considering Unis is far superior physically compared to a human, one theory is that since ghould also inherited some of the more primitive instincts and emotions of the host, humans are simply more fun to live in).  Other ghould followed Ra’s step, and became gods of the ancient world thanks to their technology.In the Pegasus galaxy, the seeding process is going well, until a particular group of humans somehow had their DNA combined with life sucking, extremely tough bug like creatures.  Those humans became the wraith, and the wraith apparently can only survive feeding on humans, other wraith, and ancients.  The wraith evolved very fast technological and biologically, and within couple thousand years vastly outnumbered their progenitor, the ancients.  The wraith fought a big war with the ancients over the control of the humans in the Pegasus galaxy.  Even though ancients are far superior technologically, wraith simply outnumbered ancients like 1 million to one  (there were a galaxy full of wraith, and one city of ancients)  They fought to a stand still until ancients finally got tired and just simply went back to earth.  Unfortunately for the wraith, the big war near exhausted all their food supply (the humans) in the Pegasus galaxy, and needless to say wraith population suffered a massive decrease shortly after the war due to food shortage, and the wraith had to go into hibernation to survive.</blockquote>
