Vanir

The Vanir are a renegade tribe of the Asgard, who traveled 10,000 years ago to the Pegasus galaxy to perform experiments on humans unimpeded to solve the clone problem. They were forced to leave the Ida Galaxy because their people did not tolerate them experimenting with human beings. Through the war between Ancients and Wraith, they were able to erect a settlement undefeated and continue their experiments. However, the Wraith won the war and immediately destroyed all their intergalactic spaceships during the first encounter, which meant that they were no longer able to leave the Pegasus Galaxy and give up their settlement. They hid on a planet with a toxic atmosphere where the Wraith did not dare. Also they found on another planets old Ancient cargo ships as well as space suits that they used to survive on Vanir. The so-called Pegasus Asgards then moved from there into the war against the Wraith and all the peoples hostile to them.

The Vanir are one of the many non-playable races in TPC and acting as a pirate faction. Besides their homeworld Vanir they occupy some less planets in the Pegasus Galaxy too. They can also be part of a campaign in some of the GC’s.
