The Travelers are a technologically advanced race of humans in the Pegasus Galaxy who were allies of the Ancients in the great war against the Wraith ten-thousand years ago. When their homeworld was eventually overrun and defeated, the survivors fled in an armada cobbled together of their remaining military and civilian starships, and they have lived aboard it ever since, traveling, as their name suggests, across the galaxy to stay outside the reach of the Wraith.
