By ancient Wraith tradition, this planet was declared neutral ground where the various Wraith factions could meet in peace to negotiate. As a result, it was used many times over the millennia for this purpose. Despite the Atlantis database listing the planet as uninhabited, at some point, a tribe of Wraith worshippers settled on the planet and served the Wraith who came to negotiate for generations. These people saw the Wraith as the "dead gods" and themselves as the dead who would be reborn when given the Gift of Life for their service to the Wraith. Many of the people appeared to have ailments, possibly terminal illnesses they hoped they Wraith would heal for them for their service. They also dressed themselves in the manner of Wraith and appeared to use some Wraith technology.
