Your depiction of women in this verse is depressing, but realistic. I like that I can pinpoint exactly why the gender inequality is so much greater then it is on the show though.
In canon SG1 the biggest clue that Sam has had problems with the glass ceiling is her first angry retort that she can do her job just as well as any man. Now canon SG has had women on gate teams all along (Carter, Cadman, the all women team. Although they seem to be the exception). Sam herself however set the precedent for women on gate teams. She's the SGC's golden girl and along with Daniel the most vital member of the entire base.
Most importantly she went on that first mission as 'tech support'. They hardly had a clue what they were getting into and going off-world might not have been classified as combat. It might still not be. In this AU however they had a male alternative for Sam right from the start and all that never got off the ground.
I liked Lindsey's back story. I wanted to shoot Kolya in the face and then have Prometheus systematically bomb the planet until they handed over the missing scientists (Not Miko and Radek!). Mer, Jehan and vala's stories were confirmed to be just as horrifying as I imagined (worse actually, since your mind is a far bleaker place then mine). In fact the angst is only kept at bay because they're God damn space pirates now and no one's gonna mess with them... except you brought aboard Teyla's necklace of DEATH, so people are totally gonna mess with them and how could you hurt her like that, when it inevitably comes out?!?! How?
