Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, Ph.D.

Summary

Service Number 36-6-349

Birthdate: December 29, 1968 (4.20 "Entity")
(Note: Orlin mentions her birthstone as Emerald, making her birthday in May, not December (5.03 "Ascension"). This may be a point of inconsistent canon again, or maybe Sam was just too overwhelmed by the huge emerald to correct him.)

Dr. Samantha Carter has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics and is an officer of the U.S. Air Force. She served in the Gulf War and was part of the Project Blue Book program (which later became the Stargate Program) just before Dr. Daniel Jackson solved the riddle of the Stargate. She was selected as the second-in-command officer of the newly formed SG-1 while at the rank of Captain. Since being a member of SG-1, she has seen two promotions and was given the command of SG-1 when Colonel Jack O'Neill was promoted to Brigadier General and given command of the SGC. After a brief stint as head of Research and Development at Area 51 and a tour on Prometheus, she returned to SG-1 with Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c to work with Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell. Since that time, she has again been promoted to full colonel and left SG-1 to become the leader of the Atlantis Expedition (SGA 4.03 "Reunion").

Samantha Carter is a brilliant scientist and exceptional officer, a vital part of Earth's defense against the Goa'uld and many other enemies. She is one of the few people on Earth who understands how the Stargate works. She is a steadfast friend to her teammates, was the closest friend of Janet Fraiser, and is a surrogate mother to Cassie. She is strong, independent, and often work-obsessed. Her romantic life has had its ups and downs, and although twice engaged, her marital status remains single.
