Futura is a country on the planet Novus. After the Destiny expedition built their first settlement on Novus, a group lead by Dr. Adam Brody decided to split off from the rest of the expedition, who were led by Colonel Everett Young and later would be called the Tenarans. Originally, it was unknown by the Tenarans if the Futurans stayed on the planet or went through the Stargate, but they would later learn that they stayed on Novus and created their own country. While the original Futurans believed that Dr. Nicholas Rush and Destiny would eventually find them and take them with him, later generations would think of Rush as their savior and worshiped him as a god, still believing that he would rescue them from Novus.
