Stargate Universe is set on the Ancient ship Destiny, which was launched from Earth, probably several million years ago, Dr. Nicholas Rush estimated that it was launched "hundreds of thousands" of years ago, though it is more probable that the ship is millions of years old for reasons of consistency in the Stargate universe's timeline, Joseph Mallozzi admitted on his blog that; "He(Rush) misspoke or was speaking sort of off-hand, assuming he wasn’t going to be called on it by a knowledgeable fan"[1]. Several ships were sent ahead of it to seed the universe with Stargates. The Ancients had planned on using the Stargate to board Destiny when it was far out enough into the universe, but learned how to ascend before that time. In order to reach this ship, an address would have to be dialed consisting of nine chevrons, a possibility that had been unknown in the previous Stargate series.
