Abydos was a planet in the Milky Way, less than 300 light-years from Earth. (Star Trek: Pendragon)
In The Doctor's universe, by the 23rd century, it was a popular resort and leisure planet among the "Rim Worlds." In the 24th century, however, many wars took place among the Rim Worlds, and Abydos' fortunes declined. (Doctor Who: "The Leisure Hive", "Mindwarp", The One Doctor)
In the SGC universe, it was a desert world where the Goa'uld Ra had transplanted early humans to breed as hosts and slaves. (SG-1: "Children of the Gods")
