| [[File:Langarans.jpg|thumb]][[Jonas Quinn's]] homeworld of [[Langara]] is plagued by international strife, and is an uneasy ally of [[Earth]]. The Langarans include the citizens of at least three major nation-states -- [[Kelowna]], [[Terrania]], and the [[Andari Federation]] -- which have suffered from constant war and strife for generations. Only under the threat of [[Goa'uld]] domination did they form a tenuous alliance, administered by the [[Joint Ruling Council]]. One of their first acts was to name their world "Langara," a word which has its roots in an ancient language common to all three peoples. | |
| The Kelownans discovered the planet's [[Stargate]] circa 1986 (Earth time), along with a number of Goa'uld artifacts. Also unique to the planet is the element [[Naquadria]], a powerful derivative of [[Naquadah]], which is believed to have been artificially created by the Goa'uld [[Thanos]], who lived there some 3,000 years ago. The majority of naquadria is located in Kelownan territory, and it was the Kelownans who developed and unleashed a powerful [[Naquadria bomb]] against their former enemy nations in the months before the arrival of the Goa'uld.

| Through centuries of isolation from the Goa'uld and the rest of the galaxy, the Langaran culture has developed at its own pace. Their development is currently similar to the level of the United States around the mid-twentieth century.

| [[File:Dansavescity.jpg|thumb]] [[File:magnify-clip.png|thumb]]Daniel Jackson preventing the destruction of the city, from [http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s5/521.shtml "Meridian"]During the Kelownans' naquadria bomb development project their experiments took a terrible turn, prompting Daniel Jackson to sacrifice his life to stop the weapon from wiping out Kelowna's capital city. Since that time, the Kelownan government has been nervous of an outright alliance with Earth. After the planet narrowly averted Goa'uld enslavement and its three nations finally united, Jonas Quinn returned home to help them build their new future.

| Some time after the aborted attack by [[Anubis]], the Langarans discovered that the natural naquadah deposits in the planet's crust were undergoing a runaway reaction, converting into the unstable naquadria, and if it wasn't stopped the planet was at risk of total destruction. So Jonas returned to the S.G.C. and asked for their assistance in preventing the upcomming disaster.
