With the Ikarus project , the ninth and last chevron on the Stargate is to be activated. The Icarus base on an alien planet is attacked by forces of the Lucian Alliance. At the last second, Dr. Nicholas Rush gives an address with all nine symbols, and the base personnel are evacuated through the Stargate. The survivors find themselves on the ancient, unmanned ancient spaceship Destiny , which is several billion light-years from Earth exploring the universe on an automatic course. Your immediate concern is to get the failed life support system working again and to close leaks in the envelope through which breath escapes.

3	3	Saving the Destiny - Part 3	Air (3)	Oct 9, 2009	Feb 21, 2010	Andy Mikita	Robert C. Cooper & Brad Wright
The Destiny stopped for twelve hours. During this period, nearby Stargates can be selected. Colonel Young and Chloe use the Ancient Communication Stones to make contact with Earth. Meanwhile, Scott, Eli, Rush, Greer and three other crew members search a desert planet for minerals that could filter the carbon dioxide from the air. After a dangerous mission in the desert, they finally return successfully to the Destiny and the life support system can be put back into operation.
4th	4th	Darkness - Part 1	Darkness (1)	Oct 16, 2009	Feb 28, 2010	Peter DeLuise	Brad Wright
Destiny's energy reserves are exhausted and almost all systems fail - including the drive. Colonel Telford blames Colonel Young for this and wants him removed from his command. Meanwhile, Eli records goodbye messages from the crew members. The Destiny is drifting towards a planetary system chosen by the spaceship, in which there are several earth-like planets. By braking the atmosphere in the atmosphere of a gas planet, the course of the spaceship changes differently than intended, so that the Destiny is now drifting towards the system's sun.
5	5	The flight into light - part 2	Light (2)	Oct 23, 2009	7th Mar 2010	Peter DeLuise	Brad Wright
In addition to Scott and TJ, who were determined by Colonel Young, 15 other people will be selected by lots, who will leave the Destiny in the only operational shuttle and try their luck on one of the three planets of the system. Everyone else is preparing to die. But instead of breaking apart, the Destiny deliberately flies into the star and replenishes its energy reserves there. With a difficult maneuver, Scott manages to dock the shuttle again before the Destiny jumps on.
6th	6th	Alien invasion	Water	Oct 30, 2009	14 Mar 2010	Will Waring	Brad Wright & Robert C. Cooper & Carl Binder
Although the water reserves are closely guarded, ever larger quantities are missing. Destiny stops within range of an ice planet, so Young and Scott set off there in their only two operational spacesuits, hoping to find clean ice. Meanwhile, a swarm of tiny creatures appears on the Destiny, which apparently entered the ship through the Stargate unnoticed and are now using up the water reserves. TJ manages to capture the swarm and bring it to the ice planet, where Young Scott was able to rescue Scott from a crack in the ice at the last minute.
7th	7th	The return	Earth	Nov 6, 2009	21 Mar 2010	Ernest Dickerson	Brad Wright & Robert C. Cooper & Martin Gero
When the Destiny heads for a star again to replenish its energy reserves (see 1x05), the Air Force orders a risky plan: The energy is to be fed through the ailing lines directly into the Stargate so that Earth can be dialed for the evacuation . Colonel Telford has taken command (using the communication stones), but then leaves the ship frightened when everything looks like a catastrophic failure. However, Rush had considered the plan too dangerous and secretly ensured that the dialing procedure was automatically terminated in good time.
8th	8th	The time travel	Time	Nov 13, 2009	28 Mar 2010	Robert C. Cooper	Robert C. Cooper
On a densely forested planet, the team finds a camera drone that apparently comes from the Destiny, although they have never been there. Still, the drone's recordings show how the team stranded on the planet and died of an infection. An extract from a local animal could cure the disease, but that help came too late for most. The Stargate was impassable due to unusual solar activity and instead led into the past. The team sent the drone back in time with these images as a message to themselves. This time, too, there are many deaths and another message with the most detailed information possible is sent back in time.
9	9	Danger to Destiny	Life	Nov 20, 2009	Apr 4, 2010	Alex Chapple	Carl Binder

Sgt. Spencer is found killed by a headshot; the gun is missing at the scene. A weapon is found in Colonel Young's quarters, making Young the prime suspect. He resigns from command and hands it over to Camile Wray, an IOA representative. This allows Dr. Rush, unlike Young before, continued to research the neural interface. When using it, Dr. Franklin is injured and falls into a comatose state. Eli finds deleted recordings that prove Spencer committed suicide. An abandoned spaceship is found on a planet. During his investigation, Young Rush confronts presumptively about the deleted recordings. Rush then admits that he wanted to get rid of Young.

Young goes back to the ship over the antique stones. There he discovers Rush, whom the aliens had previously found on the lonely planet. Young returns and orders the destruction of the enemy ship. However, in the chaos of battle, Rush and Chloe are able to steal a shuttle and fly back to Destiny before the aliens escape.

With a space walk, the military part of the crew manages to escape from their locked area. Meanwhile, the aliens reappear. Rush reveals that he has had a second tracking device implanted. While the ship is under fire, the tracking device is removed and the ship escapes at the last second before the shields fail. Both sides decide to just carry on as before, as they depend on each other.
13	13	Faith	Faith	April 16, 2010	Apr 28, 2010	Will Waring	Denis McGrath
A star system that was not in the navigation database forces Destiny to make a four-week layover. Since a planet in the system that is only 200 million years old has, contrary to expectations, Earth-like properties and ecosystem (under normal circumstances it would still have to be made of molten stone at this young age), the crew assumes that aliens artificially created the system. Part of the crew explores the planet for four weeks and brings food back to Destiny. Some want to stay there, including TJ, who reveals to Chloe and Scott that she is pregnant with Young. Young gives those who remain on the planet a makeshift shuttle on condition that the military personnel return to Destiny. Some civilians eventually remain on the planet.

A tunnel collapses while exploring an underground labyrinth. The team rushing to the rescue does not manage to clear the entrance in time and even blowing it up does not help. The Destiny leaps to the edge of the galaxy. Rush learns that the answer is "46", which is an indication of the chromosome number in the human genome: The Destiny main computer is secured with a genetic code. With this starting point there is for the first time a realistic chance to crack the Destiny code.

Looking for another exit, another collapse occurs and Greer is buried. Greer looks back on experiences of his difficult childhood with his violent, war-traumatized father and helpless mother. He also remembers the defiant decision to join the military. The other three find an exit and try to catch up with Destiny through gates on different planets. In the meantime, Greer is able to free himself, finds an exit and is brought back to the ship by a Destiny rescue team. Eli, Scott and Chloe have now reached a gate from which they can reach the Destiny. However, the voting fails because the Destiny jumps a few seconds too early.
16	16	sabotage	sabotage	May 7, 2010	May 19, 2010	Peter DeLuise	Barbara Marshall
Destiny is on its way to another galaxy. Dr. Rush has calculated that their energy will not be enough to bridge the void between the galaxies. With the help of the communication stones, the drive specialist Amanda Perry, a former colleague of Rush, is brought on board when the FTL drive suddenly fails as a result of an explosion. The Destiny is drifting on the edge of the galaxy, which at least gives Eli, Chloe and Scott the opportunity to come back on board. Meanwhile, Camile Wray visits her life partner on earth in the body of the severely disabled Amanda Perry. During the lengthy repair work, the crew found out that during the first attempt at communication with Perry, who was led by Lt. Vanessa James was carried out, the aliens briefly taking control of Lt. James' body and thus sabotaged the drive and determined the position of the ship.

However, its camouflage is exposed. It becomes clear that Telford was indeed a spy, but it remains unclear whether of his own free will or because of brainwashing. The Alliance takes Rush (in Telford's body) prisoner and forces him to help with their plan to travel to Destiny themselves (they have already found a suitable planet). Meanwhile, Telford (in Rush's body) is brutally interrogated on the Destiny to find out where the base of the Lucian Alliance is.

Eventually, the Lucian Alliance successfully dials the Destiny, although doing so destroys the 'Icarus' -like planet on which they are located. When the Lucians arrive on the Destiny, Young hesitates to kill the boarding party because the body of Telford in which he suspects Rush is with the boarding party - but this is no longer the case: When Rush traveled through the Stargate, the connection was made Cut. The boarding party takes over the gate area, takes some hostages and secures parts of the ship. Eli and the wounded Chloe are stranded in a previously unexplored part of the ship. Telford, pretending to be still on the Lucian side, rushes toward the control room with a squad of Lucians when a strange malfunction of the shields kills one of the men.

Destiny's drive is damaged, preventing it from jumping. Unfortunately, she is in the vicinity of a pulsar, which sends out bursts of radiation in short intervals in her direction, which penetrate the shields. Scott and Greer are supposed to adapt the shields with an outside assignment. All crew members except Rush and Brody, as well as Eli and Chloe, of whom Kiva, the leader of the Lucian group, knows nothing, surrender to appearances. Telford is then to redirect ship control back to Rush and Brody, who are then to vent the sections occupied by the Lucian Alliance. However, Kiva first discovers that Telford is working for the other side. They shoot each other. Kiva's people discover the two and suspect Scott and Greer behind them, who will no longer let them back into the ship. Their escape plan is now a distant airlock near Eli. The military members of the crew are to be executed in retaliation.

The doctors perform an emergency caesarean section at Johansen, Telford can also be saved, but not Kiva and TJ's baby. In a coma, TJ dreams of being on the settlers' planet (episode 13), where those who stayed behind obviously did not survive the winter - but may have been saved into a different form of existence by the creators of the planet together with the baby. Meanwhile, Rush and Brody keep trying to take over the ship. The Lucians eventually set the entire crew out on an uninhabited, inhospitable planet. Rush's plan is to lower the energy of the shields in order to force the Lucians to surrender if they don't want to be killed by the next blow from the pulsar. The plan works: the Lucians surrender, the abandoned return to the ship.

After a group of prisoners attack the guards, Young orders, however, that they should be released on the nearest habitable planet. Meanwhile, Rush manages to put the previously undiscovered bridge of Destiny into operation without the knowledge of the others. He finds a nearby planet, which has been blocked by Destiny for some inexplicable reason and whose Stargate is inactive. Due to the pressing shortage of food and water, he decides to bypass the ship's controls and head for the planet. Scott flies with a team on the shuttle to the planet to find water and food. The shuttle gets into severe turbulence. The shuttle crash-lands, and Sgt. Riley is seriously injured and trapped in the rubble. Although Scott and the rest of the stranded can uncover the buried Stargate of the planet and thus dial the Destiny, they can do nothing more for Riley. While Young is bringing the away team home, Camile and Telford have been communicating with Earth, from where they are receiving orders to expose only a portion of the Lucians.

Young agrees to help the Ursini in their war, for which they promise help in contacting the earth in return. When approaching the enemy fleet, however, the Ursini involve the Destiny, contrary to what was agreed, in a hopeless battle.

But preparations are interrupted when a Destiny shuttle appears on board with a second rush. He explains that during the dial attempt, a solar flare disrupted the wormhole, killing all travelers and sending the Destiny 12 hours back in time. Only Rush and Col. Telford, who first traveled to Earth, survived. Rush and Telford get into an argument while recovering parts from the severely damaged second Destiny, with Telford accidentally electrocuted.

The crew begins transferring the main archive database and as many supplies as possible before the planet is finally destroyed.
39	19th	blockade	blockade	May 2, 2011	May 12, 2011	Andy Mikita	Linda McGibney
The Destiny has to recharge its energy reserves, but drones block the targeted stars twice. So the crew decides to head for a blue giant star , because the drones will not expect it. Because the Destiny's shields offer no protection from the heat, the entire crew except Rush, Eli and Park are evacuated to a nearby planet that turns out to be a colony of Novans destroyed by the drones. While Rush and Eli steer the ship through the star, Park is locked in the hydroponics , where she survives in a water tank, but goes blind. On the planet, the crew gets involved in street fights with the drones, but can save themselves in time through the gate.
40	20th	At rest	Gauntlet	May 9, 2011	May 12, 2011	Andy Mikita	Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mullie
The Destiny crew discovers that the drone command ships are not only blocking all of the stars that are eligible for charging the Destiny energy reserves, but also all planets with stargates in the galaxy. As the reserves are running out, there is no other way than to dare to fight the drones. By modifying the shields, it is possible to win a fight against a command ship and to obtain supplies from the now temporarily unguarded planet. However, this maneuver cannot be carried out forever and it is decided to let the Destiny fly automatically in a long FTL flight without stopping through the rest of this galaxy and to the next one, while the entire crew is frozen in the recently discovered stasis capsules and thus virtually preserved without needing supplies on the way. However, it is very risky because even the smallest errors in the programming of this long flight could lead to the ship running out of energy too early, which would mean drifting for thousands of years to the next galaxy without energy and supplies. Nevertheless, one decides to proceed in this way, however materials from another planet are required to repair some of the required capsules. A deception maneuver with an unmanned shuttle can actually destroy the guarding command ship, so that an outside team on a planet can get the resources it needs. However, contrary to expectations, a capsule is not so easy to repair, so that one has to stay on board in order to repair it and freeze himself in a limited time - in order not to use too much energy. Rush offers himself, but Young is unsure whether he would not ultimately try to protect his own life and risk that of the rest of the crew. However, since Young has no chance of repairing the capsule himself due to a lack of required technical knowledge, Eli finally gets through that he will take on this role. He's also hoping for a solution in the ship's database, but it's still very risky. The episode ends with him finally staying alone on the ship, which is already in the automatic FTL flight, while everyone else is put into stasis. Whether he can save himself and the others remains uncertain, as does what will happen to the ship's further voyage.
