The McKay/Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge is a network of interconnected Stargates placed in the void between the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies. Developed by the Tau'ri scientists Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay, Chief Science Officer of the Atlantis Expedition and a member of the Expedition's flagship team, the First Atlantis Reconnaissance Team or AR-1 and Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter, a member of Stargate Command's flagship team, SG-1 for whom it is named, the bridge is designed to allow fast, convenient travel between Atlantis and Stargate Command without the need for a Daedalus class ship or a Zero Point Module.
