The Enkarans were a people whom the SGC helped to relocate to a new planet which had special environmental conditions to accommodate their extreme sensitivity to UV radiation. Unfortunately, the new planet to which they were relocated had in the meantime been found by another civilization aimed at transforming it into an environment suited for their needs: needs which would mean the end of the Enkarans living on the planet.

While actively searching for a new homeworld for the Enkarans, the SGC was temporarily without the use of their Stargate because the Russians had started a Stargate Program of their own and because they had the DHD to go with their Stargate, theirs became the primary Stargate on Earth. Eventually, the Russians discontinued their Stargate Program after a series of  nonproductive missions. By the time that the SGC regained control of their Stargate, many of the Enkarans had already begun feeling the ill effects of the UV radiation of Earth. It was essential that a new homeworld be found for them, or they would all eventually go blind and then die. (4.07 "Watergate", 4.08 "Scorched Earth")


Long ago, a Goa'uld transported people from the Enkaran homeworld in large spaceships. There was no stargate on that planet. The verbal history of generations of Enkarans later did not identify where their homeworld was located—it had become lost to them.
The SGC finally found the right kind of environment for the Enkarans on the planet P5S-381. Although its seasons ran a bit colder than what the Enkarans were used to, it had the proper protection against the UV radiation to which they  were so sensitive. The Enkarans themselves appeared to be human, except for their yellow eyes and their genetic mutation which caused their UV sensitivity. Their people had been taken by the Goa'uld from their homeworld in spaceships, so there was no Stargate which could be used to return them there. Additionally, the location of their homeworld had been lost to them since they passed on their history through oral tradition.


When the SGC met with the transplanted Enkarans, they were a dying people because they were extremely sensitive to the UV radiation of their planet. The first signs of their sensitivity to the harmful radiation was blindness. Hedrazar, one of the leaders of the Enkarans, had already become blind by the time SG-1 found them. If they couldn't be relocated, the Enkarans would all eventually die.
It took two weeks to transplant all of the Enkarans, and there were thousands of them who spread out far from the Stargate on P5S-381 to build villages. The SGC gave each village a naquadah reactor, estimated to give the village a year's worth of power. The villages were first established with large tents, but the permanent settlement was to be comprised of woodframe structures.  


SG-1 and others from the SGC searched diligently to find a new planet for them to live, taking special care that the environmental conditions were safe for the peaceful and gentle people. Their new homeworld, designated as P5S-381 by the SGC, was somewhat colder than what they were used to, but considering they had very little time to find a place, it was gratefully accepted by the Enkarans.
After about a month on the new planet, Hedrazar, the leader of the Enkarans, and her village celebrated their new home with SG-1 as honored guests. Hedrazar even promised to name her new grandchild after O'Neill. She thought for sure that Eliam and Nikka would be having the first Enkaran born on the new homeworld, but during this happy occasion, one of the nearby villagers, Caleb, ran breathlessly into their settlement to tell them of a ship which destroyed his entire village. He came to warn Hedrazar that her village needed to be evacuated at once.

It took two weeks to relocate the thousands of Enkaran refugees. They established hundreds of small villages and started to build a city. The SGC gave them a naquadah generator capable of powering their new city for about a year.

Hedrazar invited SG-1 to sit at a table of honor for their role in helping her people find a new homeworld. Her son, Eliam, and her daughter-in-law, Nikka, were expecting a baby. With a grateful heart, Hedrazar said that she wanted to name her grandchild after Jack O'Neill. He was noticeably touched and uncomfortable with the proposal. The rest of his team were quietly entertained by his reaction.

SG-1 investigated the ship and found that it was terraforming the planet to support a sulfur-based ecosystem. They determined that there was not enough time for SG-5, SG-6, and SG-9 to find a new homeworld before the ship reached the Stargate. Even while they still had access to the Stargate, they couldn't evacuate everyone in time. Eventually, they made contact with the ship and were beamed aboard. They met a synthetic lifeform named Lotan, a biomechanical creation who looked like an Enkaran. He was designed to communicate with the Enkarans and tell them that they needed to leave before the entire planet was transformed. Lotan explainedd that when the ship, belonging to a 10,000-year-old civilization known as the Gadmeer, had first arrived, the planet was not inhabited and that once the terraforming process had been started, it had to be completed because there was only enough material to transform one planet and P5S-381 had met all of the Gadmeer's criteria. The Gadmeer were a peaceful race which fled from an unnamed mighty military power.
During the celebration, Caleb, the leader of a nearby village, brought a warning to Hedrazar's village. A large ship was spreading poison over the land and had already driven his village away from their new home in a run for their very lives. The ship was enormous, calculated by Carter to be two miles wide. The ship was spreading some form of toxin 20 miles wide. At the rate it was going, it would be at Hedrazar's village within 26 hours.
 
Teal'c remained on the planet to help the Enkarans plan their evacuation, while the rest of SG-1 returned to the SGC to determine what they could do to help the Enkarans. They felt a great responsibility for these people, having invested several weeks and missions to find this new planet. O'Neill had become quite attached to them and took the threat made by this ship very personally. General Hammond sent SG-5, SG-6, and SG-9 out to search for a new location for the Enkarans, but they knew that they didn't have enough time to find a planet and evacuate all of the Enkarans.
 
Carter determined that the ship was spreading microbes which would transform the planet which supported carbon-based lifeforms, such as Earth, into one which supported sulfur-based lifeforms. This meant certain death to all of the current life on the planet. The ship was a terraforming ship!
 
It was Daniel Jackson's opinion that the people of this ship were not meaning to attack the Enkarans because he felt that if they had wished to do so, they would have chosen a more direct approach. When the remainder of SG-1 returned to the planet to see how the evacuation preparations were going, they were shocked that Hedrazar had not made any move to save her people. She declared that if not of her people could go, then they'd all stay and die together. She declared that "nobody gets left behind"—a credo that O'Neill lived by and understood.

Hedrazar insisted that if not all of the villages could be evacuated, that they would all die together. This left SG-1 in a difficult position. Gen. Hammond did not support a full military engagement against the ship to stop its progress, but insisted that negotiations be attempted first. Daniel Jackson established a friendly relationship with Lotan and eventually the use of the naquadah bomb that O'Neill ordered Carter to engineer from the naquadah reactor was not necessary. Lotan found that the ship had scanned the Enkarans' original homeworld and he agreed to stop the terraforming, take the Enkarans to their homeworld, and have the ship return to complete the re-introduction of the Gadmeer civilization on P5S-381. Not wishing for Lotan to be reintegrated into the ship's systems, the Enkarans insisted that he stay with them, because, to them, he was Enkaran.

Enkarans celebrate new world

Summary

The Enkarans were an enslaved people whom the SGC helped to relocate to a new planet which had special environmental conditions to accommodate their extreme sensitivity to UV radiation. Unfortunately, the new planet to which they were relocated had in the meantime been found by another civilization, the Gadmeer, which aimed at transforming it into an environment suited for their needs: needs which would mean the end of the Enkarans living on the planet.
