This galaxy is presumed to be the primary location of the science fiction television series Stargate: Atlantis. While it's mentioned the show takes place in "the Pegasus galaxy" it has not explicitly stated if it is the Irregular or Spheroidal. However, when the Pegasus galaxy has been seen from the Midway station an irregular galaxy is shown. Also, in the discussion regarding the new McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge, General Hank Landry states that the distance between the Pegasus and Milky Way galaxies is "three million light-years," suggesting that the series takes place in the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy. It is also stated in the pilot by Daniel Jackson that the pegasus galaxy is a dwarf galaxy in the local group, much like the real Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy.
