Updates to the SG-1 Reference Page
For full information, see the main
page; these are simply the new additions. Contains spoilers
up to and including The Warrior. Many, many thanks to everyone
who's pointed out mistakes and missing stuff that I should add.
(I'm keeping about a month's worth of updates here. For older
updates, see the Old
Updates page.)
May 5, 2002 -- final update old site
- MAJOR SITE REVAMP --
new URL, new(ish) name, new(ish) look, new layout. The new
URL is http://trickster.org/arduinna/stargate
-- the old main-page URL will bring you straight there, but this Updates
page will no longer be updated. Please change your bookmarks.
- Everything has been broken out into new, smaller pages, with
some information rearranged and some new info added throughout
the site (some of it minor enough that I didn't put it here, since
there was so much else going on).
- Added many more cross-referencing links
throughout pages. (If you see anyplace that should have
a link and doesn't, please let
me know. Thanks.)
- Added to Main
Characters (new page)
-
-
A colonel in the US Air Force, and
commander of SG-1. He's
snarky and insubordinate, but has a fierce personal
loyalty to his team and to superior officers he respects.
- He is effectively the second in command of SGC,
at least when he's on-world. (We're never actually told he's the
second in command, but his actions and everyone else's attitudes
toward him in Hammond's abscence make it pretty clear that he
is.)
- He was suicidally depressed over the death of his son Charlie
(who accidentally shot himself with Jack's gun) when he was recalled
to active duty to assist on the Stargate project. (Stargate
the movie)
- Daniel, Kawalsky,
and Ferretti were with him
on the first exploratory mission through the gate, to Abydos.
- His secret mission was to set off a nuke if there was any
danger on the other end of the stargate.
- Grew attached to Skaara, a local boy, while he was on Abydos,
and moved from an antagonistic relationship with Daniel to
one of mutual respect and (presumably) liking. Those two things
and having to fight for his and his men's lives were enough
to force him out of his depression, and instead of blowing
up the Abydonians, he and Daniel blew up Ra's ship. (Stargate
the movie, highly condensed version...)
- Agreed to tell his superiors that he'd destroyed the other
stargate with the nuke, and left Daniel behind with his new
wife Sha're to live the life he wanted. He and his men deliberately
falsified their reports to keep anyone from sending a second
bomb back and killing the Abydonians and Daniel. (Children
of the Gods)
- Retired again after returning from Abydos, for about a year,
until Apophis came through Earth's stargate
and jump-started Stargate Command. (Children of the Gods)
- After admitting to falsifying his report to save thousands
of lives, Jack was put back on active duty and sent back to
Abydos to retrieve Daniel and find out who or what had come
through Earth's gate. (Children of the Gods)
- The kidnapping of Skaara (and Sha're) gave Jack a very personal
reason to continue the hunt for the Goa'uld.
- He was assigned command of SG-1 immediately
- Extremely fond of both kids and dogs.
- Seems to have been the Asgards'
favorite human -- especially Thor's
favorite -- since he first ran into them, despite his less than
diplomatic dealings with them (especially Freyr).
-
-
A linguistic archaeologist who got laughed
out of his field for suggesting that the pyramids were landing
platforms for UFOs, and who promptly got snapped up by the
Stargate program (in the person of Catherine Langford) where
he found out his theories were right.
- Joined Jack, Kawalsky,
and Ferretti (among others)
on an exploratory mission to Abydos. During their visit,
Abydos was visited by Ra, and
in the ensuing fights Daniel died saving Jack's life, was
revived, talked Jack out of blowing up the locals, and helped
Jack to blow up Ra and Ra's ship instead. And he fell in
love.
- After the first mission to Abydos, he remained behind and
married Sha're, and stayed there for more than a year before
Jack came back for him.
- Teal'c snatched Sha're (along with
Skaara) while Daniel was off talking to Jack, and Daniel
returned to Earth demanding to be part of the team that
went to rescue her. Hammond
eventually agreed, and Daniel joined SG-1,
as a permanent member, as it turned out.
- Over the years he's lost a lot of his naivete (like wondering
if the thumps against the iris could
possibly be people), and learned a lot about weapons, strategy,
and tactics. But while he understands military thinking better,
he still doesn't think that way himself.
-
-
Brilliant astrophysicist who just missed
being part of the first Stargate project with Daniel. Instead,
she spent two years at the Pentagon working on theory.
- Joined SGC after Apophis
came through Earth's stargate, and was assigned to the second
mission to Abydos.
- Still a captain at that point.
- Bonded with Daniel over geekiness.
- Annoyed the hell out of Jack at first.
- She's a skilled combat warrior as well as a skilled scientist,
and functions in both capacities.
- Promoted to major in third season. (Fair Game)
- She was blended temporarily with a Tok'ra symbiote (Jolinar),
which has left her with various abilities.
- Her instincts about Goa'uld (and other alien) tech are more
likely to be right than other people's theories, thanks to steady
hands-on practical experience (and probably remnants of Jolinar).
- It probably also doesn't hurt that she's been around Daniel
so much, given his abilities to think outside the box.
-
-
Jaffa warrior, born in Cronus'
service but later sworn to Apophis
after Cronus killed his father.
- Rose to the rank of First Prime in Apophis' service, but over
the years began to lose his faith in his god.
- After kidnapping Sha're and Skaara for Apophis, Teal'c met
the proto-SG-1 (Jack, Daniel,
and Sam) in a Chulak prison, and cast his
lot in with them, helping them to kill his fellow Jaffa and
escape, and then accepting a place among them.
- Has been fighting for his people's freedom ever since he betrayed
Apophis, while also functioning as a full member of SG-1 and
swearing allegiance to SGC.
- Among the Tau'ri, his first allegiance is to Jack, then
the rest of the team, then Hammond,
then the military hierarchy -- and pretty much everyone
knows that.
-
-
-
Direct rival/enemy of Ra;
in a power struggle to gain ascendance over the other system
lords since Ra's death.
-
Every time he was defeated he came back stronger.
-
Most of his original Jaffa (Serpent Guards)
are dead or have turned against him, but he's since picked
up all of Sokar's Jaffa
(from The Devil You Know on -- as of Maternal
Instinct the Jaffa still bear Sokar's mark but claim
to be in the service of Apophis; by Serpent's Venom,
they bear Apophis' serpent mark) and presumably all of
Heru'ur's as well (from
Serpent's Venom).
-
He did not gain all of Heru'ur's power
base, though; Cronus
took at least one world ( Double Jeopardy).
-
The SGC and
SG-1 in particular seemed to
be helping him inadvertently in this sweep toward total
power; every time they did something to weaken him, they
put him in a position to gain even more power (especially
by giving his dead body back to Sokar, which may turn
out to be the biggest mistake they've ever made -- it
eventually gave him a powerbase like he'd never had before,
and which he's building on).
-
SG-1 with Jacob's
help destroyed a huge part of Apophis' new combined
fleet by blowing up a sun in their presence ( Exodus).
-
Apophis escaped the destruction of his fleet
by following SG-1 and Jacob through hyperspace, but lost his
huge mother ship to Replicators.
He boarded Jack's ha'tak vessel, but brought Replicators with
him. SG-1 and Jacob, with the brainwashed Teal'c in tow, escaped
the ship after setting it on a collision course with Delmak,
Sokar's old world and Apophis' new base.
-
Apophis was still on the ship when it
crashed full-speed into the planet, blowing both to smithereens.
Might actually be dead this time. ( Enemies) The
actions of Goa'uld rising to power strongly imply that
Apophis died in the explosion. Imhotep
finally pronounced him dead ( The Warrior), so I
now consider this to be a confirmed death.
-
-
Started his bid for total power after
Jack and Daniel killed Ra. (Stargate the movie)
-
Took over Sokar's power base after SG-1
and the Tok'ra killed Sokar and left Apophis alive. (The
Devil You Know)
-
Took over Heru'ur's power base after
the Tok'ra engineered a fake attack that Apophis was only
too prepared for, which resulted in Heru'ur's death. (Serpent's
Venom) Didn't get it all, though; Cronus grabbed at
least one planet, and maybe more.
-
Possibly (probably) took over Cronus's
power base, now that Cronus is dead at the hands of the
robot-Teal'c. (Double Jeopardy)
-
His death left a final, massive power
void, which new Goa'uld
hastened to fill.
- Added to Jaffa:
- Known Jaffa
- Bra'tac:
First Prime to Apophis for decades; Teal'c's teacher and mentor.
Since Teal'c's very public break with Apophis, Bra'tac has
been working more or less behind the scenes, continuing to
foment rebellion among Jaffa warriors, and also helping to
train Rya'c.
- Born around 1864 ("I am one hundred and thirty-three
years old" as of Bloodlines [1997]; 135 as of Into
the Fire [1999]; 137 as of Threshold [2001])
- former First Prime of Apophis,
some 100 years ago (Into the Fire) (makes for odd
timing, since he would only have been in his mid-30s --
was he strictly a teacher after that?).
- Known throughout Chulak as one of the greatest Jaffa
that ever lived (Family)
- Also greeted, and treated, with great respect by
the rebel Jaffa army that was drawn from at least
six different system lords' Jaffa. (The Warrior)
- Very carefully primed Teal'c (and other Jaffa?) to prepare
him to doubt and eventually work against the Goa'uld,
without ever giving himself totally away, although he
made himself vulnerable to betrayal (e.g., hinted that
he didn't think the Goa'uld were gods, and certainly not
all-knowing). (Threshold)
- Passed the rebel torch to Teal'c when Teal'c became
First Prime and finally had the power to actually do something.
(Threshold)
- Fought against Apophis during the destruction of Chulak;
Moac, his newest apprentice, died
from injuries received during the battle. (Maternal
Instinct)
- Has attempted the rite of m'al
sharran three times; two of the warriors died, but
Teal'c survived intact after the rite succeeded.(Threshold)
- Killed: One of Klorel's Jaffa, for failing to protect
Klorel from Jack and
Teal'c (The Serpent's Lair); one of the Jaffa guarding
Rya'c in the clearing, during SG-1's
rescue of the boy (Family)
- Was reported to have been tortured to death by Terok,
Heru'ur's torturer --
unverified, could have just been a ploy to make Teal'c
break. (Serpent's Venom) Verified still alive in
Threshold.
- Ribboned by Klorel (The Serpent's
Lair)
- Left for dead by the remnants of Apophis' personal guard
after he tried to stage an uprising on Chulak at the news
of Apophis' death. (Into the Fire)
- Presumably has ability to sense Reetou.
- Has been fomenting dissent/rebellion for decades.
- Has an SGC remote transmitter and code, to be used in
an emergency (to let him through the iris). (Family)
SGC receives this code as "special code 2" (Maternal
Instinct)
- Had a special death glider hidden away since the days
he was First Prime of Apophis. (Into the Fire)
- Starting to feel old by end of third season (Maternal
Instinct), especially after his latest student dies,
but gets new lease on life during the ep.
- As of fifth season, he's having more and more trouble
achieving kelno'reem. (Threshold)
- His prim'ta will mature within a couple of years (2003-ish,
presumably, when Bra'tac is about 139), and will be his
last one; even if he could find another symbiote it would
reject him. He won't try to extend his life; life for
the sake of life means nothing. (Threshold)
- Drey'auc:
(of the Cord'ai Plains) Teal'c's wife, left behind with their
son Rya'c when Teal'c turned shol'va.
She wound up being outcaste and having to scrounge to survive,
including having to beg the priests to come and perform a
Prim'ta ceremony on Rya'c to save his
life when he was dying of fever (scarlet fever, according
to Jack). With Teal'c gone, she divorced him and married his
best friend, Fro'tak, to provide for
her and Rya'c. After Fro'tak was killed, Drey'auc left Chulak
with SG-1 and Rya'c, and moved to the Land of Light, where
she's lived ever since. (Bloodlines, Family,
other mentions)
- Fro'tak:
(of the High Cliffs) Teal'c's best friend on Chulak, who later
married Drey'auc after Teal'c abandoned her and Rya'c. After
seeing Teal'c and Drey'auc rekinding a spark or two, Fro'tak
attempts to betray SG-1 to Apophis,
but Jack kills him before he gets the chance. (Family)
- Moac:
Bra'tac's most recent apprentice -- the finest warrior Bra'tac
had ever trained. He was badly injured during Apophis' destruction
of Chulak, and despite Fraiser's
best efforts, died of his injuries. (Maternal Instinct)
- Rak'nor: Betrayed
Teal'c to Heru'ur; his father,
Delnor, had believed in Teal'c enough to have burned off Rak'nor's
serpent tattoo on the assumption that soon all Jaffa would
be free of their masters (Teal'c, while still First Prime,
had spared Delnor's life, gaining lifelong loyalty in return,
whether he knew it or not), but Rak'nore had watched the sparks
of rebellion fail and had lost faith. When he saw that Teal'c
wouldn't cave under torture, he began to change his mind again,
and rescued Teal'c from Heru'ur and Apophis
just in time to keep them from being destroyed in the minefield
where they were meeting. (Serpent's Venom) Later, he
joined K'tano's rebel army, then after
K'tano was killed and revealed as Imhotep, he rallied the
rebel Jaffa to Teal'c. (The Warrior)
- Rya'c:
Son of Teal'c and Drey'auc,
effectively fatherless since Teal'c's decision to betray Apophis
-- he and Drey'auc were left behind, without a word from Teal'c.
At about 12 years old he was due for his first prim'ta.
He'd also developed scarlet fever, and was going to die without
a symbiote. Teal'c tried to stop the implantation, but when
he realized how ill Rya'c was he gave up his own symbiote
so his son would live. Teal'c left again, and Rya'c and Drey'auc
moved in with Fro'tak. Apophis got hold of Rya'c and brainwashed
him into publicly denouncing his father. SG-1
rescued him and brought him and Drey'auc back to SGC, where
Teal'c eventually had to zat him to break Apophis' conditioning.
Once free, he was overjoyed to see his father again. He and
Drey'auc moved to the Land of Light to live, where they've
been ever since, with occasional visits from Teal'c.
- Shak'l:
Warrior who served under Teal'c, and who succeeded him as
First Prime to Apophis. He led the Jaffa hunting SG-1 on the
Nox's world, was injured in a fight, and was healed by the
Nox, later nearly killing Lya as he escaped. He survived that
encounter, but was killed on another planet when Teal'c stabbed
him.
- Shan'auc:
(of the Red Hills) Priestess on Chulak, and old "friends"
with Teal'c. She came
to believe that the Goa'uld were not gods, and began attempting
to subvert her symbiote away from evil through communicating
with it while in deep kelno'reem. When the symbiote was ready
for implantation, Bra'tac sent her to
Earth so she could ask for their help in giving her reformed
symbiote to the Tok'ra, believing
that it had renounced its race's ways. Teal'c was overjoyed
to see her again, and they re-established their relationship
at some level (personally, I don't think they had sex, not
with her in that much constant pain). Eventually everyone
agreed that she should see the Tok'ra, and SG-1 brought her
to Vorash. The Tok'ra gave her symbiote to Hebron, who was
aware of the dangers. The symbiote, Tanith,
thanked Shan'auc for setting him free, then later in private
killed her for daring to dictate to her god. Teal'c was not
happy.
- Va'lar:
Friend of Teal'c's from his days serving Apophis. Va'lar didn't
share Teal'c's doubts. He led a troop of warriors in a battle
against Ra, but on seeing that they were hopelessly outnumbered,
decided to retreat to get reinforcements. Apophis disapproved
of this "cowardice", and ordered Teal'c to take
Va'lar down to the planet and kill him as an example. Teal'c
set Va'lar free instead, warning him to never get caught.
Va'lar was horrifed that he'd do this, since Apophis would
know and Teal'c would be killed; Teal'c wasn't so sure, and
used this deception as a sort of test of Apophis' powers,
becoming sure that the "gods" weren't as all-powerful
as they claimed when he succeeded in deceiving Apophis. Later,
Teal'c was ordered to destroy the very village where he'd
told Va'lar to hide out, so wound up killing him anyway.
- Added
to Asgard, Culture:
- Freyr:
Apparent head of the Asgard High Council
-- at the council, he wears a jewel around his neck, is in a
chair bathed in purple light, and does most of the talking.
He knows who Jack is, but isn't as personally invested in him
as Thor is. He's the personal
protector of K'tau.
- Thor:
High Commander of the Asgard fleet. Thrudvang
is Thor's home in the stars. (Thor's Hammer) He has the
people of Cimmeria under his personal
protection (Thor's Hammer, Thor's Chariot), and
seems to have quite the soft spot for Earth, as well -- or at
least for Jack O'Neill.
- Repeatedly taps Jack, specifically, for important missions.
(Shades of Grey, Nemesis)
- Named his car -- er, brand-new, most-advanced-ever ship
after him (The O'Neill, in Small
Victories).
- Added to Others,
Culture:
- Oma Desala:
A rogue, who helped members of lesser races to advance more
quickly. She took up residence on Kheb (probably
banished there by her own kind), and established a temple meant
to guide people on to the next plane of existence. Eventually
Kheb became a religious byword among the Jaffa; the Goa'uld
were terrified of it (Oma didn't suffer Goa'uld gladly) and
forbade any mention, but in secret Jaffa whispered of how a
dying Jaffa could go to Kheb and find peace. Amaunet,
knowing no Goa'uld would think to look there, hid the Harsesis
child on Kheb, and Oma took over his care. When SG-1 and Apophis
found out and each moved in to take the child, Oma wiped out
several thousand Jaffa and took the baby through the stargate,
abandoning Kheb. (Maternal Instinct) She accelerated
his physical development through nanites, and unlocked strong
mental powers as well as she taught him her ways. (Absolute
Power)
- Orlin: A
rogue who gave advanced weaponry to the people of Velona to
save them, only to watch as they later tried to conquer all
of their neighbors. The rest of his kind wiped them out. He
was banished to remain on that world, alone, where he stayed
for hundreds of years until SG-1 arrived. He fell for Sam as
she was trying to figure out the tech left behind on the planet,
and attempted to "share" with her (telepathic/empathic
type of thing, a "sharing of spirit" rather than directly
reading thoughts). When all he managed to do was knock her out,
he followed her home, literally, and stalked her in the comfort
of her own home, eventually giving up his ascendant status and
becoming human to have a better chance with her. He created
a perfect, huge emerald for her, then wound up building a baby
stargate in her basement, escaping through it right before the
military broke in to kill him. He went straight to Velona to
stop the activation of the weapon he'd originally told the Velonans
how to build. He gets shot but stops the activation, and as
a reward his people help him to re-ascend. (Ascension)
- Added to Misc
Races: (new page)
- Aliens:
- Aschen:
- Extremely humanoid, but never clear if they're really
human or not.
- Their world's stargate has no DHD or address map, so
all of their space travel happens by ship. This keeps
them within the span of their own Aschen Confederation
-- they can only travel so far in their ships.
- They travel to new worlds and make treaties with the
people there, promising advanced technology, and entry
into the Aschen Confederation.
- As soon as the other planet agrees, the Aschen do
start giving them advanced medicines and technology.
- Medicines that eliminate disease and extend
the lifespan.
- Tech includes floating harvesters and transporters.
- They also begin spreading a virus genetically modified
to attack only the specific DNA of the people on the
planet, causing widespread sterility. Within a generation,
population growth slows to nearly nothing; within
a few generations, population itself is down to a
mere fraction of its original size.
- The people who are left are kept ignorant of what's
happened to them, and spend their lives farming to
provide food for the Aschen, happy in the belief that
the Aschen are their friends.
- Technology that Aschen allies don't find out about until
it's too late includes bio-weapons containing living genetic
material engineered to attack specific DNA, and the ability
to create a secondary star by igniting a gas giant.
- They wanted to form an alliance with Earth, trading
technology and membership in the Aschen Confederation
in exchange for stargate technology and addresses.
- Very possibly all dead; Jack made sure that one of the
stargate addresses that was given to them was for a black
hole.
- Enkarans:
- Humanoid race, with the main differentiating feature
being yellow eyes. Their original homeworld had a dense
ozone layer, and without one they risk blindness and death,
since they're highly susceptible to even low levels of
radiation. (Scorched Earth)
- The Goa'uld took Enkarans from their homeworld by ship
centuries ago, and the Enkarans had no way to return there
after they gained their freedom from the Goa'uld -- their
homeworld had no stargate, and they didn't know where
in the galaxy it was located. There is no stargate on
the Enkaran home world. (Scorched Earth)
- When the world they were living on grew too dangerous
for them -- many people were being blinded by the radiation
levels, and it was only getting worse -- SGC worked like
crazy to find them a new world, sending multiple units
out to search, and succeeded. (Scorched Earth)
- Within a few weeks of finding the new world, the Enkarans
had built hundreds of villages to house thousands of people.
(Scorched Earth)
- Before they could even finish their celebratory feast,
a Gadmeer ship appeared and begain "terra"forming
the planet, stripping all organic material and turning
the atmosphere sulfuric. (Scorched Earth)
- The Enkarans refused to be driven out of their new home,
preferring to stay and die.
- Eventually the Gadmeer ship's avatar, Lotan, agreed
to pause the terraforming, and Daniel figured out that
the ship had actually found (and rejected) the Enkarans'
original homeworld as a possibility. Lotan agreed to bring
the Enkarans back to their original homeworld before returning
to finish transforming the planet. (Scorched Earth)
- The Enkarans insisted that Lotan join them as one
of their own, since he'd been designed to look like
an Enkaran, and he agreed. (Scorched Earth)
- Gadmeer:
- A sulfur-based reptilian lifeform, wiped out an indeterminate
time ago by a superior military force. The Gadmeer saved
as much genetic material from their world as they could,
and placed it along with all the knowledge and culture
from their 10,000 years of civilization on a huge ship.
They programmed the ship to travel through the galaxy
looking for a world that matched the parameters of their
homeworld, to "terra"form it and start a new
Gadmeer colony. (Scorched Earth)
- The world that the ship finally found (after rejecting
millions of planets as unsuitable) had just been inhabited
by the Enkarans, who were themselves
desperate to find a world suitable for their needs. Unfortunately,
their needs didn't include a sulfuric atmosphere. (Scorched
Earth)
- The ship created an avatar, Lotan, to speak with the
Enkarans and convince them to leave, because the ship
couldn't stop terraforming the planet; it had the ability
to change one planet, no more, and couldn't stop the process
halfway through. (Scorched Earth)
- Thanks to Daniel,
Lotan eventually (after a few very tense hours) agreed
to pause the terraforming, and then to bring the Enkarans
back to what is almost certainly their original homeworld
before returning to the disputed planet and finishing
the job. (Scorched Earth)
- The Enkarans offered to accept Lotan among them,
since he now has a body and apparent sentience and
going purely by appearance was Enkaran. Lotan accepted.
(Scorched Earth)
- The Gadmeer are presumably in the process of being recreated
(no mention of how long a trip it will be to take the
Enkarans home, though, so the ship might still be in transit).
(Scorched Earth)
- Reol:
- A physically slight race, hunted nearly to extinction
by the Goa'uld, who have been studying their ability to
"vanish" -- they emit a chemical that, once
absorbed into another person (via skin contact or inhalation),
makes the other person "recognize" them by creating
a sense of familiarity. The affected person's brain fills
in details to make it reasonable for them to recognize
the new person. The chemical resembles cortical acetylcholine,
a neurotransmitter that helps regulate and process human
memory. (Fifth Man)
- A group of Reol have started an isolated colony in an
attempt to save their race. (Fifth Man)
- Reetou:
- Planet is Reetalia. (Show and Tell)
- Insectoid race. (Show and Tell)
- Their particles are in phase with us, but the (light
and sound) waves they emit exist 180 degrees out of phase
with us - which makes them invisible/inaudible, but able
to physically affect our world. (Show and Tell)
- The only way to see them is to scan them with a
Transphase Eradication Rod
-- TER. The Goa'uld, and thus the Tok'ra, have these,
and the Tok'ra left several with SGC as protection.
(Show and Tell)
- Goa'uld symbiotes have a horrible reaction to the presence
of Reetou, and seem to instinctively want them dead. (Worse
than humans and cockroaches.) (Show and Tell)
- After their race was almost completely wiped out by
the Goa'uld, a rebel faction has decided the best way
to destroy all Goa'uld is to cut off their source of hosts:
Earth. (Show and Tell)
- The Reetou Central Authority created a human boy,
modified to be able to see/hear Reetou, to warn Earth
about the threat from the rebel faction. (Show
and Tell)
- The boy decided to call himself "Charlie",
after Jack's son. (Show and Tell)
- He was poorly made, and was going to die. The
Tok'ra took him with them, to heal him with a
symbiote.
- No word on what happened to him after that.
(Show and Tell)
- To prevent Reetou from from using the stargate if they
managed to get onto the base, hand scanners were installed
on the dialing computer. (Show and Tell)
- Replicators:
- A purely mechanical race, made of self-replicating material.
Generally choose to appear in arachnid or insectoid shapes.
(Nemesis, Small Victories, Enemies)
- The Asgard found them on an abandoned planet and brought
them aboard a ship to study, realizing too late what tehy
had done. The Replicators learned everything they could
about the technology on the ship then began conquering
the Asgards' galaxy -- not to rule, just to self-replicate.
They have no other purpose. (Nemesis)
- They ingest metal, preferring the highest-tech equipment
available. Energy blasts won't stop them, unless it's
a blast strong enough to annihilate anything. (Nemesis,
Small Victories)
- Projectile weapons can stop them, but not easily, and
not completely -- Replicators can reform out of just a
few shards (Small Victories).
- Replicators can function individually, but all have
the same goals: to survive and replicate. (Nemesis)
- Intelligent, capable of learning and adapting. No apparent
interest in communicating with any other races.
- If they land on a planet, they'll eat everything in
sight.
- Unas:
- Evolved on the same world as the Goa'uld, and were the
original hosts used. (The First Ones, Demons)
- Green-blooded, not blue-blooded like the Goa'uld.
(Demons)
- Aboriginal Unas still live on the mutual homeworld.
They have societies and language, but no tech. (The
First Ones)
- Aboriginal Unas wear neck protection to keep from
being infested, and consider aboriginal Goa'uld to
be a meal -- no problems at all with eating symbiotes.
(The First Ones)
- A few Goa'uld are still in Unas hosts, but not many;
Sokar and his underlings
appeared to be the final holdouts from switching entirely
to human.
- Extremely strong, with great regenerative powers --
very hard to kill.
- Chaka:
An aboriginal Unas from the homeworld. He snatched Daniel
from a dig, apparently to use him as a hunting trophy
in a rite of passage. Daniel worked like hell at creating
some sort of rapport to keep from being killed, and it
worked. By the time they got back to the Unas' cave, Chaka
seemed to consider him something of a friend; he wouldn't
let Daniel be killed, going so far as to challenge the
alpha male to protect Daniel, and he wanted Daniel to
stay. (The First Ones) A year later, hunters from
another world captured Chaka and brought him home to be
a slave, and improve the gene pool among the inbred Unas
slave population. With SG-1's
help, Chaka escaped and started a rebellion that probably
killed half the human population. (Beast of Burden)
- Humans:
- Abydonians:
- Desert-dwelling, culture based on ancient Egypt. Once
under Ra's rule, but free since Jack and Daniel blew up
Ra's ship, with Ra on it. (Stargate the movie)
- Daniel Jackson's adopted home and people. (Stargate
the movie, Children of the Gods)
- He stayed behind after the first mission to marry
Sha're, and spent more than a
year among the Abydonians before Jack came back to
retrieve him. (Children of the Gods)
Known Abydonians:
- Kasuf:
Headman of the main (only?) Abydonian village. Completely
loyal to Ra his whole life,
but remarkably well-adjusted to freedom after Ra was killed.
Father to Sha're and Skaara,
and Daniel's father-in-law.
He lost his children to Goa'uld, both taken as hosts.
(Stargate the movie, Children of the Gods)
Sha're died a few years later; Skaara survived the extraction
of his Goa'uld parasite, but it's not clear if he returned
to Abydos or went elsewhere (Forever in a Day,
Pretense). Kasuf has a grandson, Shifu, but Shifu
is harsesis and is
being raised by Oma Desala.
(Secrets, Maternal Instinct)
- Sha're:
Kasuf's only daughter. She was given
to Daniel as a gift
during the first mission to Abydos, and when they hit
it off for real, Daniel stayed behind with her as her
husband. (Stargate the movie) They lived together
for more than a year on Abydos. Shortly after Jack returned
with a new mission to retrieve Daniel, Apophis'
troops (led by Teal'c) came through, kidnapping Sha're
and her brother Skaara. She was
given as a host to Amaunet,
Apophis' queen. (Children of the Gods) She bore
the harsesis child,
which Daniel and Teal'c promptly stole (to keep the boy
safe, and away from Apophis). (Secrets) About a
year later, Amaunet stole the child back from Abydos,
along with a whole lot of Abydonians as cover. SG-1 and
a rescue team from SGC went in to get the Abydonians out.
Daniel spotted Amaunet/Sha're and went to her. Amaunet
ribboned him, but Sha're managed to get a mental message
to him about the child's whereabouts, begging him to protect
the boy. She died a minute later, when Teal'c shot Amaunet
to save Daniel -- but she died knowing Daniel still loved
her. (Forever in a Day)
- Skaara:
Kasuf's only son. He bonded with
Jack on the first mission
to Abydos, and was Daniel's
brother-in-law after Daniel married Sha're. A year or
so later, he was kidnapped by Teal'c and taken to Chulak
to be offered as a host. He was chosen, and became the
host to Klorel. (Children
of the Gods) Skaara was strong and fought Klorel off
as much as he could, but usually lost. On the run after
a battle with Heru'ur's forces, Klorel crash-landed on
Tollana, and Skaara seized his chance, asking to be freed
of his "demon". The Tollans held a triad (trial),
with Zipacna arguing
for Klorel, Jack and Daniel arguing for Skaara, and Lya
of the Nox as neutral third party. The decision went in
Skaara's favor, and Klorel was removed, leaving Skaara
free. (Pretense) It's not clear where he went after
this; there's been no mention or sight of him being on
Abydos.
- Bedrosians:
- In a centuries-long religious war with the Optricans,
who live on their world's other continent.
- The Bedrosians believe that they evolved on this
world, and worship Nefertum as their creator.
- The Optricans believe that they evolved on another
world, and were brought to this world via an interstellar
gateway.
- Nyan was a Bedrosian archaeologist
who believed in Nefertum but who had to follow his instincts,
and dug up the stargate just in time for SG-1 to come
through it. Realizing that there really was an interstellar
gateway, Nyan wound up throwing his lot in with SG-1 to
keep them from getting killed, and burned all his bridges
behind him. SG-1 brought him back to SGC, and while he
was recovering from wounds sustained in the escape, Daniel
offered him a job as his research assistant.
- Cimmerians:
- Norse-based culture.
- Cimmeria is an Asgard-protected world, under the specific
protection of Thor.
- All Jaffa know it's coordinates, to be sure that
no Goa'uld ever goes there by accident.
- Thor's Hammer stands in front of the stargate, and scans
everyone that comes through. Anyone that has a Goa'uld
inside (host or Jaffa) is transported to a labyrinth of
caves, with only one way out -- through a device that
kills Goa'uld while leaving the host/carrier more or less
intact (it's painful as hell).
- After SG-1 destroyed the Goa'uld-killing part of the
equation to save Teal'c's life, Heru'ur invaded Cimmeria
and nearly succeeded. Daniel and Sam had to find the Hall
of Wisdom and pass several tests to gain a holographic
audience with Thor (the first time he appeared in his
true form), and ask him for help in stopping Heru'ur.
Known Cimmerians:
- Gairwyn:
Headwoman. Tough, strong, smart. She's
a friend of SG-1, and called them for help when Heru'ur
attacked Cimmeria -- she lost her entire family in
the attack.
- Kendra:
Former Goa'uld host, who survived the labyrinth and
became something of a recluse among the Cimmerians.
She could still use Goa'uld tech, and the healing
device allowed her to become a healer. Despite having
been a host and thus presumably knowing that "gods"
is a relative term, she firmly believed in Thor as
deity, and as her savior. She died in Heru'ur's invasion.
- Eurondans:
- The Eurondans knew that they had once come from Earth
after they dug up their stargate and deciphered some ancient
writings. No idea how long they've been free of Goa'uld
rule, but long enough to develop more than one society
and a whole lotta tech. (The Other Side)
- Breeders: What the genetically "pure" Eurondans
called the people who preferred to have babies the old-fashioned
random way (more politely called the Enemy). They co-existed
for centuries before the Eurondans made a pre-emptive
strike and poisoned the entire planet's surface via gas
pipes from beneath the surface. The Eurondans retreated
underground to continue the fight and to wait for all
the Breeders to die off, so they could reclaim the world
for themselves. (The Other Side)
- To save on resources, thousands of Eurondans were
put into stasis, leaving only a relative handful awake
to fight the war. (The Other Side)
- Technologically, slightly ahead of Earth, but not by
far -- maybe 50-100 years. Eurondan tech includes medicine,
cold fusion reactors, defense field generators, and remote
weapons systems. (The Other Side)
- Medicine includes beta
cantin, a powerful drug that can heal almost
anything (including a concussion) almost instantly.
(The Other Side)
- Remote weapons system is aeronautical: piloting
of drone ships via a direct neural interface, while
the pilot remains safely underground. Very cool, but
prolonged exposure to the neural interface can be
damaging (pilots turn into near-total vegetables who
can do nothing but pilot these drones) (The Other
Side)
- Tried to make a deal with Earth, trading any and all
tech they had for as much heavy water as Earth could provide;
they needed heavy water to power their cold-fusion reactors.
- Very probably all dead, with Breeders having taken over
the world. After Jack and SG-1 realized that these were
genetic purists who were commiting genocide to ensure
their purity, they turned on the Eurondans. Jack sabotaged
their defense systems to allow the Breeders through, and
SG-1 abandoned the world just ahead of a probably fatal
Breeder attack, refusing to allow Alar to follow them
(no other Eurondan was close enough to try). (The Other
Side)
Known Eurondans:
- Alar: Leader of
the Eurondans. His father helped start the civil war that
had driven all the Eurondans underground and poisoned
the planet's surface. He tried to create an alliance with
the SGC, trading advanced tech for support in his war
(in the form of heavy water, needed to power Eurondan
cold-fusion generators), and nearly succeeded. When he
failed, he failed spectacularly, and died along with all
of his people.
- Farrell: Second
in command.
- Ollan: Pilot who
spent too long in the neural interface, and had turned
into a near-vegetable
April 27, 2002
- Changed some of the big character-table
info at the top of the page, so that there are only two tables now:
- Deleted Cassie's column, put her info elsewhere in the body
of the page
- Moved Bra'tac to the Hammond, Fraiser, Apophis table
- Deleted the Catherine, Siler, and Martouf columns, putting their
info elsewhere in the body of the page.
- Amended the layout for the big character
tables that open the page, making it easier to see who goes with what.
- Added to Jack, Career:
- Was intended for command of the alpha site if the asteroid struck
and destroyed Earth. (Failsafe)
- Added to Jack, Income:
- As of 2002 (based on the military
pay calculator and an educated guess or two): about $116,164/year
in regular compensation (including allowances), based on his rank
and an assumption of 27 years of service (this only works if his
retirement years don't count against him; if those aren't included,
I'm figuring 25 years of service, which makes it $111,855). Probably
making more in hazard pay.
- Base monthly pay (not including allowances, and based on 27
years of service) is $7,675.
- Added to Jack, Misc.:
- Still no diplomat; managed to insult the Asgards (including
making a reference to Freyr's mother) once again, despite being
the Earth's de facto ambassador to the Asgard. (Failsafe)
- His name is cursed by every Goa'uld (The Warrior)
- Added to Daniel, Income:
- As of 2002 (based on the salary
table for senior scientific or professional positions):
$112,315 to $138,200. I'd guess, given his importance to the project,
that he's at the high end of this (although given his shaky status
in his field, maybe not). He could also be getting hazard pay
on top of this.
- Added to Daniel, Misc.:
- Has served as a personal attendant to a Goa'uld system lord
(Yu), and attended a system lord summit meeting. (Summit,
Last Stand)
- Is clearly getting more comfortable around tech, at least Goa'uld
tech: knows enough about flying a cargo ship to use manuevering
thrusters to slow the ship without being told to do so, and doesn't
hesitate when Sam tells him to bypass power from hyperdrive, just
gets up and heads for the correct console to do it. Possibly the
ten days in transit on a barely working ship gave him the incentive
to learn it. (Failsafe)
- Is still better at thinking outside the box than pretty much
anyone; he came up with the idea of extending the cargo ship's
hyperdrive field to encompass the entire asteroid that was threatening
Earth, so they could ride it through Earth to the other
side safely. (Failsafe)
- Added to Sam, Career:
- In the space of about a year, she's gone from having to be talked
through hyperdrive repair to leading a repair team herself. (Enemies,
Failsafe)
- Added to Sam, Income:
-
As of 2002 (based on the military
pay calculator and an educated guess or two): about
$81,322/year in regular compensation (including allowances),
based on her rank and an assumption of 14 years' active service.
Could also be getting hazard pay.
-
Base monthly income is $5,092, not including allowances.
- Added to Teal'c, Career:
- By killing K'tano/Imhotep in the rite
of joma secu, he's earned the right to
lead the army of rebel Jaffa. (The Warrior)
- Added to Teal'c, Income:
- As of 2002 (based on the military
pay calculator and the above assumptions): if I use 10
years' service as the base, about $59,979. (10 years is the minimum
requirement for Chief Master Sergeant.) It's unlikely that he
wouldn't have gotten a raise in three years, but since all this
is a guess anyway I have no clue what it would have gone up to.
But I think it's safe to assume, given that, that he's making
at least $60,000/year, and possibly is making more to put him
on a more even footing with the rest of the team (although not
having to pay for housing probably counts for a lot). Could also
be getting hazard pay.
- Added to Teal'c, Confirmed kills:
- Added to Hammond, Career:
- Refused to leave his post, even at the apparent urging of the
president, when the world was in imminent danger of being destroyed
by an asteroid. (Failsafe)
- Added to Hammond, Income:
- As of 2002 (based on the military
pay calculator and an educated guess or two): about $142,710/year
in regular compensation (including allowances).
- Base monthly pay is $9,852, not including allowances.
- Added to Janet Fraiser, Career:
- No idea how long she's been in the Air Force; doctors join as
captains, not lieutenants, so I don't know how long it took her
to make major. At a guess, it's been more than 10 years; I doubt
she would have been assigned SGC without at least a few years'
military service under her belt.
- Added to Janet Fraiser, Income:
- As of 2002 (based on the military
pay calculator and assuming 10 years' service and a
pay grade of 04): about $80,379/year in regular compensation
(including allowances), plus about $1100/year in special pay for
medical officers. That regular pay is probably too low; I'm guessing
completely on her years of service, and if those go up, her income
goes up. Special pay goes down as years of service go up.
- Base monthly income (on 10 years' service, not including allowances
or special pay) is $4,696.
- Added to Apophis, Friends:
- None. Occasional allies were about it.
- Added to Apophis, Education:
- The genetic memory of the line of both Goa'uld who created him.
- Added to Apophis, Confirmed deaths:
- Destruction of his base when the hatak vessel he was on struck
Sokar's old world and blew everything to hell. (Enemies)
- Deleted from Apophis, Presumed deaths:
- Destruction of his base when the hatak vessel he was on struck
Sokar's old world and blew everything to hell. (Enemies)
- Added to Galactic Info, Politics (pulled
all specific Protected Planets Treaty info up into this section to
make it all easier to find)
- The Asgard and the Goa'uld have a treaty in place (the Protected
Planets Treaty), which currently runs to several hundred
pages. Treaty Law Section 326 recognizes that humans exist for
the purpose of serving the Goa'uld as hosts and slaves and requires
that no human planet be allowed to advance technologically to
a point where they may become a threat to the Goa'uld --
and the Goa'uld get to determine what constitutes a threat. (Fair
Game)
- The Asgard part of the treaty
includes a promise to do nothing to help the people on the
planets they're protecting to advance technologically, or
to artifically advance them through technological means --
which includes using technology to save them from natural
(or unnatural) disasters. Any breach of treaty on the Asgard's
part will nullify the entire treaty, leaving all the worlds
under their protection (including Earth) open to Goa'uld attack.
(Red Sky)
- The Goa'uld part of the treaty
includes a promise to never attack any world under Asgard
protection, on pain of being wiped out by the Asgard. (Fair
Game) The system lords take this threat seriously, and
enforce the treaty among all Goa'uld.
- The Goa'uld have broken the treaty in spirit, if not
in letter, at least twice:
- Tanith (on Anubis' orders) set up a situation where
the Tollans would bomb Earth for the Goa'uld, and
was barely thwarted in this plan. (Between Two Fires)
- Some Goa'uld, *probably* Anubis, sent a naquadah-heavy
asteroid on a collision course with Earth, knowing
that it would destroy all life there in what would
seem to be a natural accident, whether the Tau'ri
managed to plant a nuke on it or not. (Failsafe)
- The treaty provides for arbitration
of disputes. (Failsafe)
- Arbitration requires a commission of inquiry, consisting
of equal numbers of Asgard and Goa'uld representatives.
(Failsafe)
- Also requires corroborating testimony from involved
parties. (Failsafe) If the parties aren't available
(e.g., the Tollans, after their world was destroyed),
the dispute remains unresolved.
- Added to Tau'ri, Politics/Gov't, unconfirmed
secondary SGC base:
- (...) Jack was definitely supposed to take command of the alpha
site in the event SG-1 couldn't prevent an asteroid from destroying
Earth. (Failsafe)
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC:
- Standard weaponry:
- Sidearm, either regular military issue or zat.
- Knife
- P-90: carries 50-round
top-loading magazine with teflon-coated ordinance, at a cyclical
rate of 900 rounds per minute.
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, who else knows:
- Failsafe -- SG-1 is sending uncoded radio signals via
AF SatCom (for any AF radio operator to pick up? I don't know
enough about how SatCom works), and NASA is tracking their progress
in getting up close and personal to destroy the asteroid, and
giving SGC updated status reports on the mission.
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC:
- Uses AFSatCom to bounce radio signals from teams in space. (Failsafe)
- Civilians connected
to SGC:
- Cassie Fraiser:
Born in 1985 (turns 16 in Rite of Passage [2001]; earlier
references are hazier about her age, but Rite of Passage
has her actual birthday celebration). She was raised on the
planet Hanka until she was about 12 years old, when Nirrti
wiped out her entire people with a virus. SG-1 brought her
back to Earth, where she was nearly the cause of SGC's destruction
(from a bomb that Nirrti had implanted in her chest). (Singularity)
She bonded with Sam during that, but wound up being fostered/adopted
by Janet Fraiser, although she also stayed close to Sam --
comforting Sam when she was depressed (In the Line of Duty),
going boating with her and Janet on a weekend trip (Urgo),
playing chess with her every other Saturday if Sam is onworld
(Rite of Passage). Sam was also the only person other
than Janet at Cassie's 16th birthday dinner. (Rite of Passage)
Jack also maintained contact, enough that the kids from Cassie's
first school on Earth still knew him the year after she left
for her junior high (not middle school) (Learning Curve).
Refers to the team by first names; calls Jack "Jack" in Rite
of Passage. In her very early teens, she liked art and
had been told by her teacher that she had talent at it. (In
the Line of Duty) She has the ability to sense blended
Goa'uld, presumably because of the naquadah still in her system.
(In the Line of Duty) At 15-turning-very-snotty-16
in high school, she was dating a boy named Dominic. (Rite
of Passage) She's been through a lot of trauma: she witnessed
the deaths of her parents and all her people (Singularity),
a goa'ulded Sam threatened her with death (In the Line
of Duty), and she nearly died from a retro-virus that
Nirrti had infected all of Cassie's people with, triggered
at age 16. The virus caused her to generate a fluctuating,
strong EM field, strong enough to disrupt electronic equipment
and to make it impossible to give her an MRI. Eventually she
could control the field, allowing her to manipulate things
like magnets. To save her life, the effects had to be reversed,
leaving her unable to manipulate EM fields anymore. She was
saved by (a very grumpy) Nirrti. (Rite of Passage)
- Catherine
Langford: Born in 1924 (Torment of Tantalus
-- she was 21 in 1945). She's single (at least the last we
heard), but was engaged to Ernest Littlefield
as a young woman and reunited with him in her 70s. (Torment
of Tantalus) She has a PhD, probably in archaeology, and
is very smart. Her father was Professor Langford, an archaeologist
who worked on the original stargate project.
After the program was closed, she petitioned several administrations
to reinstate the program, finally succeeding 40 years later.
Began her 'gate research again in the late 1960s. (1969)
She recruited Daniel into the Stargate program in the mid-1990s
(1994 by movie canon, 1995 by show canon), and knows Sam from
Sam's Pentagon days. She she left the program after the first
mission to Abydos, and didn't find out what was going on with
the SGC until The Torment of Tantalus when Daniel came
to her asking about her father's records. Her first and only
trip through the stargate was to recover Ernest, whom she
had believed was dead for the past fifty years. (Torment
of Tantalus) She has enough money to live in a great big
house -- the same one she grew up in -- with a staff (at least
a housekeeper), and to be chauferred around in a limo even
after retirement. (Torment of Tantalus) She's fluent
in German, and seems fond of tea -- and has continued to use
the same teaset she used as a young woman in the 1920s. (Torment
of Tantalus, 1969) She always wears a Ra pendant,
for luck (Children of the Gods, Torment of Tantalus,
There But for the Grace of God, 1969). She gave
it to Daniel on the first Abydos mission, and Daniel gave
it to Jack to give back to her when he decided to stay behind
(Children of the Gods, Torment of Tantalus)
- Ernest Littlefield:
One of the archaeologists working on the original
stargate project with Professor Langford. He was engaged
to Catherine Langford in the 1920s,
but as part of his work on the program he volunteered to go
through the stargate, and was trapped offworld for fifty years
on an abandoned world. He deciphered as much as he could of
the alien languages he found there, staying remarkably sane
for a human left completely alone for so long (barring a few
hallucinations about Catherine). SG-1 and Catherine came to
rescue him as soon as they found records of what had happened
to them, and barely got him and themselves out in time as
the building he was living in collapsed around them in a massive
storm. He and Catherine seem to have rekindled their relationship,
after a slightly bumpy start. (Torment of Tantalus)
No idea what's happened to him since then, although the odds
are extremely high that he's staying away from crowds and
is probably in more or less nonstop SGC-sponsored therapy.
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, SG units, SG-1, Goa'uld
killed by SG-1:
- Apophis (Jack, Sam, Daniel, with
Jacob's help)
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, SG personnel (moved
from character table):
- Sergeant Siler: Assigned
to the base. His area of expertise is the mechanical and electrical
function of the Stargate, and he is often called upon to make
corrections and repairs on the Stargate and the equipment. Also
seems to help with research (Crystal Skull). He was under
Hathor's 'spell' in Hathor. He wound up with a concussion
and broken arm after a suped-up Jack tapped him in Upgrades.
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, Technology:
- Ability to build a naquadah-enhanced nuke
that packs 1,200 megatons -- the most powerful bomb ever built
on Earth (equivalent to 1 billion tons of TNT) (Failsafe)
- Particular bomb used against the asteroid in Failsafe:
- deactivation code: 03310310
- faulty design: wires from timer to detonator were all
yellow -- there was supposed to be a red one to cut to
deactivate the bomb
- toolbox on back: S6/94882
- Repair: now have instruction sheets
on how to repair Goa'uld systems (hyperdrive, life support, etc.)
(Failsafe)
- Added to Goa'uld, Culture, Political structure,
system lords:
- System lords appear to have varying ranks, with a select few
forming the ruling core -- the number seems to depend on how much
power how many people have grabbed. The ruling system lords can
(and do) make treaties that all Goa'uld must abide by, such as
the Protected Planets Treaty with the Asgard.
(various eps, but mainly Fair Game, Summit, and
Last Stand)
- According to Teal'c, after talking to Yu, the system lords knew
about the rebel Jaffa army raised by K'tano, and allowed it to
continue and grow, biding their time until they could launch an
attack to wipe out all rebel Jaffa. (The Warrior)
- Added to Goa'uld, Culture, System Lords:
- Apophis X:
(Beyond the actions of Goa'uld rising to power, one Goa'uld has
pronounced him dead (The Warrior), so I now consider this
to be a confirmed death.)
- Yu: (...)
Survived the attack by Osiris thanks to the sarcophagus, but it
left him weak. Not so weak he couldn't figure out what was going
on with "K'tano", though, and to capture
Teal'c and tell him about the destruction of K'tano's plans, infuriating
Teal'c enough to go back and kill K'tano/Imhotep. He goes so far
as to say to Teal'c "Your faith is not blind - I know this of
you", counting on Teal'c's ability to think for himself as a strength
to all appearances, and is willing to forgo killing the shol'va
who basically began the wave of unrest in the Jaffa ranks in order
to unseat the leader of the rebellion -- who was about to be attacked
and maybe killed anyway. Yu's motivations are a bit murky here
-- he appears to be much smarter and capable of more long-term
planning than most Goa'uld. (The Warrior)
- Added to Goa'uld, Culture, System Lords,
killed by SG-1:
- Apophis
(Jack, Sam, Daniel, with Jacob's help)
- Added to Goa'uld, Culture, Minor Goa'uld:
- Imhotep X:
Symbol is an inverted step pyramid (very cool, especially in the
First Prime gold form). From a backwater planet, whose only claim
to fame was developing a particular fighting style (very Eastern,
and rife with Matrix-y effects): mastaba. Full of kicking and
staff work, and based on the idea that one must strive with single-minded
purpose to victory, without regard for survival. All of his Jaffa
were required to master it. In an attempt to gain power during
the upheaval period after the collapse of the second Goa'uld dynasty,
he disguised himself as his own First Prime (K'tano),
pretended to have killed Imhotep, and raised a Jaffa army from
freedom-seeking Jaffa of many Goa'uld. He snookered every Jaffa
he met, including Bra'tac and Teal'c; possibly used a sublimal
hint of Goa'uld voice to influence them? (They all fell for his
act very very fast, and completely, for no apparent reason.) He
gained many Jaffa from the ranks of the system lords that SG1
have killed, and had Jaffa from at least six different system
lords (including Horus guards and Serpent guards). Used a combination
of freedom-fighting rhetoric and religion (promising that fallen
warriors would go to Kheb). Skilled at manipulating people and
situations; he seduced Teal'c away from SG-1, making very deliberate
moves to call him to his side and away from Jack any time Jack
wanted Teal'c to go with him (weakening Jack's alpha image, strengthening
his own, and putting Teal'c in a beta position from which he was
less likely to challenge K'tano). Offered to make Teal'c his second
in command, if Teal'c survived the suicide mission against Yu.
Seemed sincere in his desire for an alliance with Earth - very
Goa'uld-y betrayal and doublecross potential all over the place
there. Teal'c killed him in the rite of joma
secu to expose him as the betrayer to the Jaffa cause that
he was, and also wound up exposing him as Imhotep. (The Warrior)
- Added to Minor Goa'uld killed by SG-1:
- Added to Goa'uld, Technology, Transportation
Rings:
- Seem to be many ways of triggering them:
- controls worn on the body (Stargate the movie)
- keyed controls (Jolinar's Memories, Devil You
Know)
- on cargo ships, either by a keypad set in a control column
in the main chamber (Serpent's Venom), or by a key
combination on the top of the control column (Failsafe)
- Added to Goa'uld, Language:
- Blame any bizarre variations in spelling on whoever close-captions
the show. Argh. (My kingdom for a real lexicon!)
- bashaak: training (wooden) staff
weapons (The Warrior)
- hal mek: possibly "hold your fire"
- what K'tano/Imhotep says to Nirrti's Jaffa when he walks into
the middle of live fire to recruit them to his cause. (The
Warrior)
- joma secu:
"challenge of leadership" -- a duel to the death to decide who
is more worthy (and has the right) to lead. Possibly a purely
Jaffa term, although that isn't definite. (The Warrior)
- kalach shal tek: "victory or death"
(The Warrior)
- tak mal tiak: greeting of some
sort, probably respectful (what K'tano/Imhotep says to Bra'tac)
- tec'ma-te:
(...) see tek matte for later spelling
and meaning
- tek ma'tek: friends well met ("we
come in peace)
- tek matte:
variant spelling of "tec'ma-te" -- a greeting
of respect (dammit, that is *not* how it started out; it was a
title, not a greeting) (The Warrior)
- ya duru arik kek onac: (K'tano/Imhotep
to Teal'c, followed by "I honor he who would kill his god") (The
Warrior)
- zatnuketel: horrible, horrible
variant spelling of zat'nik'tel (The Warrior)
- Added to Jaffa, Culture, Warrior culture:
- Despite years of exposure to Tau'ri weapons, Jaffa still consider
them less than "true" weapons, preferring to trust in staff weapons
and zats. A direct demonstration of staff v. P-90 changes a few
minds. (The Warrior)
- Not accustomed to thinking of women as warriors, but not freaked
at the thought, either. (The Warrior)
- Training staffs (wooden versions of staff weapons) are bashaak
(The Warrior)
- Added to Jaffa, Technology, little tech
of their own:
- The rebel Jaffa army, cut off from all Goa'uld tech, uses cloth
drawn-in maps, waterskins, pottery cups, firelight/torches --
no tech or industrialized materials at all beyond some scavenged
weapons and body armor. (The Warrior)
- Added to Tok'ra, Known Tok'ra:
- Jalen: Female host. Caught
SG-1's distress signal and came to render assistance after they
rode the asteroid through Earth. (Failsafe)
- Added to Asgard, Culture, Protected Planets
Treaty:
- The treaty provides for arbitration of disputes. (Failsafe)
- Arbitration requires a commission of inquiry, consisting
of equal numbers of Asgard and Goa'uld representatives. (Failsafe)
- Also requires corroborating testimony from involved parties.
(Failsafe) If the parties aren't available (e.g., the
Tollans, after their world was destroyed), the dispute remains
unresolved.

- Updated eps, directors, and writers pages
through The Warrior
- Started adding more cross-reference links

- Added spelling note:
- Closed-captioning and rdanderson.com both say that Tau'ri is
actually Tauri. I can't bring myself to take the apostrophe out;
it just looks wrong to me without it. So for this one instance,
I'm going with my personal quirk rather than the official ruling.
- Added to Jack, Confirmed kills:
- Three Jaffa, outside a lab on Revanna during Zipacna's attack.
(Last Stand)
- Added to Teal'c, Confirmed kills:
- Three Jaffa, outside a lab on Revanna during Zipacna's attack.
(Last Stand)
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, SG units, SG-17:
- Four-man team -- no women (Summit).
Mansfield and two others were killed in the goa'uld attack on
the Tok'ra base on Revanna (Summit); Elliot survived briefly as
a Tok'ra after Lantash entered him in an attempt to save both
their lives, but was too badly injured, and died soon after (Last
Stand).
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, Wiped-out
teams (general date of team's death in red):
- SG-17: 2001,
Summit/Last Stand
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, SG personnel, Lt.
Elliott X:
- (...) First mission was a cakewalk: go
to Revanna, be polite to the Tok'ra and learn their new insurgency
tactics while everyone waited for Jacob and Daniel to complete
their mission. Revanna was brutally attacked, and Elliott watched
his entire team die, and nearly died himself before Lantash entered
him in an attempt to save both their lives (Summit). Their
respective injuries were too severe, and they willingly remained
behind to cover SG-1 and Jacob's retreat, waiting their chance
to release a deadly poison that would kill every Goa'uld, Tok'ra,
and Jaffa in range, including them. (2001,
Last Stand)
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, SG personnel, Major
Mansfield X:
- (...)Died in the attack on Revanna when the ceiling caved in
on him after he'd already suffered severe injuries in another
bomb-induced cave-in. (2001, Last
Stand)
- Added to Tau'ri, SGC, Technology (in the
SGC's posession):
- Formula for symbiote poison, which the
Tok'ra saved on a crystal and which Sam took possession of. The
poison kills any symbiote exposed to it. (Summit)
- Added to Goa'uld, Culture:
- Goa'uld queens serve their pharoahs, not the other way around.
(Summit)
- Despite being largely genderless themselves (with the probable
exception of the true queens), Goa'uld are influenced by their
hosts' gender, and notice attractiveness (sexual as well as aesthetic)
in other hosts. (Children of the Gods, Summit)
- After spreading "like a plague" for thousands of years,
the Goa'uld are suddenly showing zero population growth. (Summit)
- The system lords, at least, are showing cannibal behavior; after
a summit meeting, the system lords in attendance ritually ate
live Goa'uld symbiotes, and planned to do so every night as long
as the summit continued. (Last Stand)
- This could be a new behavior pattern, but these were not
new Goa'uld; they'd been around for a long time, and Osiris
at least should still have been accustomed to ancient practices
(having been in stasis for millennia until a year earlier)
-- but Osiris was the first to chomp. (Last Stand)
- If this is a new patterns, it could account for the sudden
plunge in the population growth. (Last Stand)
- Often choose neutral territory to hold meetings/councils:
- the Tobin system (where Apophis and Heru'ur met to discuss
a possible alliance, before Apophis obliterated Heru'ur and
his forces). (Serpent's Venom)
- the Hassarra system (where the post-second dynasty system
lords met to discuss their new secret enemy and then accepted
him into their ranks). (Summit, Last Stand)
- New Section: Goa'uld, Culture, Political
Structure (newly added info):
- Basically a feudal society, with a few dozen (? -- exact number
unknown) system lords at the top of the hierarchy, and thousands
of lesser-ranked Goa'uld serving them (presumably all of varying
rank). It seems to be possible to move up and down the ladder.
Ra was the greatest system lord before he was
killed (Stargate the movie), and his death created a vacuum
that the other system lords are fighting to fill.
- At the top of the post-Ra heap were Apophis,
Sokar, Cronus, and
Heru'ur. Apophis is rising and falling
in power, but after each fall (The Serpent's Lair [loses
his power base and most of his Jaffa as a result of SG-1's having
destroyed the motherships he'd committed to wiping out Earth],
Serpent's Song [captured and tortured by Sokar, only to
die on Earth of his injuries after escaping], Jolinar's Memories/
Devil You Know [revived and tortured more at Sokar's hands,
then thrown into hell where the best he could manage was servant
to one of Sokar's servants]) he comes back stronger than ever
(Maternal Instinct [now commands all of Sokar's vast troops
-- an army that can conquer the other system lords], Serpent's
Venom [presumably inherits Heru'ur's troops when Apophis destroys
Heru'ur's mothership, with Heru'ur on board; has discovered technology
to cloak an entire fleet of motherships]).
- After the collapse of what the Tok'ra
call the "second Goa'uld dynasty" (unclear whether that
includes Ra or not), the Goa'uld fought among themselves, suffering
heavy losses before declaring a truce. Seven system lords rose
to power out of this: Bastet, Kali
the Destroyer, Baal, Morrigan,
Olukun, an unnamed Goa'uld (rdanderson.com
says that he's Svarog, but I can't find any evidence in the show
so far), and Yu -- the only surviving member
of the old order. (Summit) Meanwhile, Anubis had been working
behind the scenes, fighting with all of them in his own bid for
power (seems to be hoping to become the next Ra), and eventually
won himself a place among the ruling system lords, bringing the
total to eight. (Summit, Last Stand)
- The Goa'uld will unite to defend against outside threats such
as the Asgard or Reetou, but will battle
among themselves for control of individual domains. (Fair Game)
- A Goa'uld's power is more often challenged by his son than
by his enemies. (The Serpent's Lair) -- Other than this
one statement, though, we haven't actually seen proof of this;
mostly it's been enemies whaling away on each other.
- There are rival factions trying to unseat the system lords:
- The Linvris are a rival
league of nine lesser Goa'uld who challenge the system lords.
They are all found dead on PY3-948 by SG-1; they've been dead
a month. (Legacy)
- The Tok'ra
- Deleted from Goa'uld, Culture, System Lords:
- Entries for non-ruling goa'uld; added a new section called Lesser
Goa'uld that includes them. Where I wasn't sure which category
a given goa'uld fit, I left him/her in system lords.
- Added to Goa'uld, Culture, System Lords:
- Anubis:
Funerary god in Egyptian mythology. Used to be a system lord;
banished, never to be allowed to return, for crimes that were
unspeakable even to other goa'uld (Last Stand). The system
lords also attempted to murder him, and for a thousand years thought
they had, before he reappared to take advantage of the power vacuum
after the collapse of the second Goa'uld dynasty (Last Stand).
He began using any Jaffa he can find: godless Jaffa from defeated
goa'uld (lots from Cronus and Sokar,
for instance); captured Jaffa (some from one of Olukun's motherships)
(Summit). He's also good at turning goa'uld to his side;
as he first reappeared on the scene, he seemed to favor goa'uld
who served Apophis (Tanith
[Between Two Fires], Zipacna
[Summit, Last Stand]) but didn't limit himsef to
them -- recruited Osiris, using Zipacna
as an emissary (Summit, Last Stand). He was making
a massive power play from hiding, attacking anyone and everyone
without letting anyone know who was attacking, and doing a lot
of damage as he threw the remaining system lords into disarray
and distrust. When he'd made enough of an impact to have all the
new system lords worried, he sent Osiris as his proxy to request
that he be allowed to rejoin the system lords. He was accepted
(by Baal, Bast, Kali,
Morrigan, Olukun,
and one more [possibly Svarog?-- see rdanderson.com
's database for Summit], but not by Yu,
the only dissenting vote) and became a system lord again. Through
Osiris, he promised Yu privately that he would destroy Earth before
actively taking his place among the system lords, and promised
the council at large the he would destroy the Tok'ra. He had more
luck with the second promise: Zipacna's forces attacked the Tok'ra's
new base on Revanna, killing every Tok'ra there, leaving only
those Tok'ra out on missions as survivors. Although there's no
direct evidence linking him, he has probably made two two attempts
to destroy Earth by the time he requested re-entry to the council,
both failures: Tanith tried to get the Tollan
to send a bomb through Earth's iris (Between Two Fires);
and a huge naquadah-heavy asteroid was hauled into Earth's solar
system and set on a collision course with Earth (Failsafe).
- Apophis X: (...) (Currently
presumed dead by all and sundry, but given his history I'm not
putting this X in red just yet.)
- Baal:
Tends to be a bit touchy and possessive; he wiped out two star
systems -- 60 million people -- rather than lose them to Sokar
in a territorial dispute. Daniel said of him: "His gifts
have a habit of exploding, especially when he feels he's been
slighted." Seems to be nominally in charge/the host of the
council meeting of the new system lords, although that doesn't
give him any more power there than anyone else. (Summit)
Despite having suffered losses at Anubis' hands (Baal lost his
flagship and 2000 Jaffa in battle with him), Baal accepted Anubis'
bid to rejoin the system lords. (Last Stand)
- Bastet:
A lesser (but still fairly powerful, by all indications) goa'uld
until the second ruling dynasty collapsed. She may have a long-term
alliance with Kali; they seem to be on fairly
friendly terms, and at least once were spoken of as a unit ("Bastet
and Kali have also suffered..." -- Baal, Summit).
The two of them made a treaty with Sobek, then moved against him
during the celebratory feast. Rumor has it that his head still
decorates Bastet's palace in Bubastis. (Summit) Despite
suffering losses at the hands of Anubis' forces, and having gone
to a council to determine a course against him (before they knew
who he was), Bastet voted to let Anubis back among the system
lords. (Last Stand)
- Kali:
"The Destroyer". A lesser (but still fairly powerful,
by all indications) goa'uld until the second ruling dynasty collapsed.
She may have a long-term alliance with Bast;
they seem to be on fairly friendly terms, and at least once were
spoken of as a unit ("Bastet and Kali have also suffered..."
-- Baal, Summit). The two of them made a treaty with Sobek,
then moved against him during the celebratory feast. (Summit)
She had an outpost on Cerador. Despite suffering losses at the
hands of Anubis' forces (she lost two motherships in battle against
him), and having gone to a council to determine a course against
him (before they knew who he was), Kali voted to let Anubis back
among the system lords. (Last Stand)
- Morrigan:
Very little known about her. She uses her lo'taur
to try to get information about other system lords through "casual"
conversation with other lo'taurs. She rose to power after the
collapse of the second Goa'uld dynasty, and despite having suffered
at Anubis' hands, voted to let him return to the system lords.
(Last Stand)
- Nirrti: (...) Months later
[after Rite of Passage], is still persona non grata among
the goa'uld, with no chance of being accepted among the ruling
system lords (Last Stand).
- Olukun:
Has battled with Yu, and is still angry over his losses. Rose
to system lord rank after the collapse of the second Goa'uld dynasty.
(Summit) Despite losses to Anubis' forces (and having lost
Jaffa who defected to Anubis when their mothership was taken),
he voted to allow Anubis back among the system lords. (Last
Stand)
- Osiris:
(...) Remained in Sarah's body by choice, even though most Goa'uld
prefer not to change their hosts' gender. In about a year, had
managed to amass an impressive army. (Summit) Claims to
serve no one -- and gets very testy at the idea that he may have
served Isis, insisting that she served him -- but is quickly recruited
to Anubis' cause, and agrees to serve as his emissary and proxy
to the new council of system lords. (Summit, Last Stand)
- Yu: (...)
His full name and title is the Jade Emperor, the Exalted Lord
Yu Huang Shang-Ti. He lives in a Chinese-style palace/fortress
in a mountainous region of his planet, and is fond of tea. (Summit)
His lo'taur prior to Jarren (whom Daniel
wound up impersonating) unwittingly gave up the location of Yu's
secret base in Valon, but then died in the surprise attack. Yu
was the only surviving member of the old order of ruling system
lords, but didn't have enough power to take a position of precedence
(or possibly simply didn't want to). (Summit) He was the
only member of the new council of system lords to deny Anubis'
request to rejoin them. (Last Stand) He was stabbed in
the stomach by Osiris when he came upon Daniel (whom he knew as
Jarren) trying to kidnap Osiris/Sarah. (Last Stand)
- New section: Goa'uld, Culture, Lesser Goa'uld
-- Non-System Lords (but fairly high-ranked) (newly
added):
- Amaunet
X: Apophis's mate and
queen, who bore him a human son. Used the body of Sha're as a
host. Was killed by Teal'c during Forever in a Day when
she tried to kill Daniel using a ribbon-device.Was possibly allied
secretly with Heru'ur against Apophis; her guards in Forever
in a Day were Horus guards, not Serpent guards, and Sha're
at the end said, "Amaunet took the Abydonians as a show, so that
Heru'ur would not know her true goal." -- so not only was she
likely allied with Heru'ur, she was apparently betraying him even
as she used him to betray Apophis. And she was pulling it off.
The only thing she hadn't counted on was Kasuf getting a message
to SG-1, and SG-1 bringing enough troops along to wipe out the
power base Amaunet was building. Given that Apophis called her
his "new queen" in Children of the Gods, it seems
likely that she was all of three years old when she did all of
this.
- Klorel: The son of Apophis,
using the body of Skaara as a host. Was forcibly removed from
Skaara during Pretense and sent to a Goa'uld homeworld
in search of another host. No idea if he found one or not.
- Nefertum, the Blue Lotus
Blossum of Ra, son of Sakmet, was an under system lord to Ra,
and probably brought the people to the planet P2X-416 (Bedrosia
& Optrica). The Bedrosians believe he is the creator of the
planet and its people, as related in their holy book, the Book
of Nefertum. (New Ground)
- Tanith
X: Tanith was the symbiote
carried by Shan'auc, who convinced her that he hated the Goa'uld
and everything they did, and that he wanted to be a Tok'ra. He
was lying, and later, having taken Hebron as a host, he killed
her for her temerity in daring to tell him, her god, what he should
think or feel. He believed that the Tok'ra were taken in by him,
and that he was acting as a concealed spy for the Goa'uld in the
Tok'ra ranks, unaware that the Tok'ra were using him to spread
misinformation to the Goa'uld when possible. (Crossroads)
As part of his cover, he gave at least one piece of useful info
to the Tok'ra: the location of the meeting between Apophis and
Heru'ur. (Serpent's Venom) Over several months, the Tok'ra
fed him enough misinformation to keep Apophis otherwise occupied
while they saved hundreds of lives and pull agents out of dangerous
situations. When the Tok'ra had a chance to move their home base,
they decided it was too risky to keep Tanith around, and told
him they knew about him. He escaped custody, though, and managed
to badly injure or kill Teal'c and take him to Apophis. (Exodus)
He didn't die in the explosion of the sun with Apophis' fleet;
he was in the single one-man pod that escaped, and found himself
a new master to serve. Hasn't lost his hatred of Teal'c or the
rest of SG-1, and nearly succeeded in destroying Earth by getting
the Tollans to do his dirty work for him. (Between Two Fires)
While scouting a new planet to use as a base, along with a contingent
of Jaffa, he was killed when Teal'c shot directly into bridge
of the al-kesh Tanith was flying, causing it to crash and burn.
(48 Hours) Eventually, it becomes
clear that the new, unnamed master must have been Anubis.
(Summit)
- Zipacna
was one of Apophis' most loyal underlords, who apparently preferred
South American mythology to Egyptian. He was chosen by Klorel
to be Klorel's archon in triad to decide Klorel's and Skaara's
fate, and while he was at it set up a sneak attack on the Tollans
to take out their ion cannons and destroy their world (foiled
by Teal'c and Lya). (Pretense) After
Apophis's death, he seems to have been recruited by Anubis, and
became one of Anubis's main emissaries. The position seems more
powerful than the one he held under Apophis, and he's definitely
dressing better -- although still in a kilt, rather than trousers.
He recruits Osiris to the cause, and captures a Tok'ra spy in
his ranks, managing to get information about Revanna and about
a new superweapon (the symbiote poison).
He went to Revanna, engaging the Revanna stargate as soon as his
ships were within sensor range to cut off any escape, and loosed
his Jaffa in an attack (led by al-kesh that bombed the planet,
then gliders that strafed the surface, then ground troops that
infiltrated the Tok'ra tunnels to find any survivors) that destroyed
the base and killed every Tok'ra there. Only SG-1 escaped. (Summit,
Last Stand)
- Lesser Goa'uld killed directly by SG-1:
- Amaunet (Teal'c)
- Tanith (Teal'c)
- Added to Goa'uld, Biology, dying symbiote
absorbed by host:
- contradiction: a dying symbiote releases a toxin that
kills the host. (Summit)
- Added to Goa'uld, Technology:
- Space station: Cargo ships don't
board or enter docking bays; they connect to docking arms on the
sides of the station. (Summit)
- Tel'tac:
(...)They're not equipped with seatbelts (Summit)
- Added to Goa'uld, Language:
- lo'taur:
the highest-ranking human slave, basically a personal attendant.
It's considered a position of honor. (Summit)
- Added to Jaffa, Culture:
- Jaffa serve purely a military function (presumably the priest-caste
has nothing to do with humans, only Jaffa). (Summit)
- Added to Tok'ra, Culture:
- An alliance of Goa'uld resistance, dedicated to wiping out the
system lords (In the Line of Duty).
- To accomplish this, the Tok'ra developed a poison
-- two gases that, when mixed, create a toxin strong enough
to kill any symbiote that breathes it in. It's not harmful
to humans per se, although any host will die as well from
the toxins released by the dying symbiote inside. After the
main crop (post-second-dynasty) of ranking system lords were
destroyed, the Tok'ra planned to sweep through the disorganized
remnants of the empire and use the poison against all the
Goa'uld they could find. (Summit) It took weeks to
synthesize, and the Tok'ra only ever managed to produce a
small amount before Revanna was destroyed.
Sam took the crystal with the data on it. (Summit)
- The Tok'ra hadn't worked out a way to save the Jaffa
who will die without the symbiotes that currently sustain
them, but considered that an acceptable price for the
destruction of the system lords. (Summit)
- They infiltrate Goa'uld society
to try to destroy it from within; infiltrators have been caught
on ships that the SGC has destroyed. (Tok'ra)
- After the destruction of the "second Goa'uld dynasty",
the Tok'ra developed new insurgency techniques. (Summit)
- Tok'ra keep no secrets from each other (in theory), and therefore
have no doors anywhere on their bases. Anyone can go anywhere.
(Tok'ra, part one)
- High Council:
consists of the most respected members of the Tok'ra, who make
the major policy decisions for the group (assign missions, make
treaties, etc.)
- Councilors: Persus (supreme high councilor), Garshaw, Ren'al
- The council restricted access to zatarc
research, keeping Sam from finding anything out during the
months that she requested information after she shot Martouf.
- Bases: usually temporary,
and are formed by crystals that are designed to create (grow)
tunnels underground, which can also be destroyed/filled in with
crystals (Tok'ra, parts 1 & 2, Summit). Each
crystal is a different shape and size, and creates a different
tunnel. By carefully choosing the kind of rock to tunnel through,
the Tok'ra can avoid making air shafts; the rock releases enough
oxygen to keep them alive until they can get lifesupport set up.
After that, the only way in is via transport
rings. In addition to the main ring room, the bases have a
secondary ring room for emergencies. (Summit) They seem
to use one main base at a time, although there are never all that
many Tok'ra there at once -- most are out on missions.
- Vorash:
The Tok'ra base for many years; a desert world. (Jolinar's
Memories, The Devil You Know, Crossroads,
Divide and Conquer, Exodus) It was destroyed
after the Tok'ra abandoned it and blew up the local sun in
an attempt to wipe out as much of Apophis's fleet as possible.
(Exodus)
- Revanna:
Where the Tok'ra moved to after Vorash was destroyed; a forested
world (or at least, they set up shop in a forested area).
They'd been there only a short time before the Goa'uld found
out about it and attacked, destroying most of the tunnels
and equipment, and killing every Tok'ra on the planet. (Summit,
Last Stand)
- Added to Tok'ra, Culture, Known Tok'ra:
- Indicators on which Tok'ra are dead (X)
- Aldwin: (...) He's the Tok'ra
who comes to Earth to verify that Shifu is the Harseisis, by using
the zatarc-detecting device (Absolute
Power). When SG-17, a new team, goes to Revanna
for the first time, Aldwin is their guide/lecturer, explaining
things like how the Tok'ra tunnels work. He died in the attack
on Revanna. (Summit)
- Elliot/Lantash
X: Elliot was badly hurt
during his first SG mission when the Goa'uld attacked Revanna,
and Lantash, whose tank had been destroyed in the same attack,
tried to save them both by entering Elliot. Elliot found out all
about Lantash and Jolinar, Martouf
and Sam, and Lantash and Sam, because of the memories he shared
with Lantash. Including the fact that Lantash loved Sam just as
he once loved Jolinar. (Summit) Lantash's knowledge got
him, Jack, Sam, and Teal'c up to the surface where they had a
shot at escape, but his and Elliot's combined injuries were too
severe for him to heal. When Daniel and Jacob caught up with them,
Elliot offered to take the symbiote poison and stay behind, as
a living booby trap. He either died from his injuries or, if he
lived long enough to release it, from the symbiote poison. (Last
Stand)
- Jacob/Selmak: (...) Is often
away on missions. One of those had him pretending to be a minor
Goa'uld in Yu's service; he used that connection
to get Daniel onto Yu's planet, armed with a chemical that will
make Daniel appear to those around him as someone trusted and
with a poison that will wipe out any symbiote
that breathes it, and sent Daniel in to serve as a personal attendant
to Yu during a meeting of system lords so that Daniel could kill
them all. (Summit) He's gotten more relaxed around SG-1
as time goes on; during the mission to kill the system lords,
he refers to Daniel as "Danny" three times (once on
Revanna during the briefing, once in transit
to Yu's planet, and once while crashing into Revanna on their
return.) (Summit, Last Stand)
- Martouf/Lantash: (...) The
body was taken back to Vorash and held in stasis, but eventually
the Tok'ra decided that the damage was too great; Lantash would
probably be unable to heal both himself and Martouf. Lantash was
removed from Martouf's body, which died -- and was presumably studied
for proof/evidence of zatarc-tampering. Lantash was held in a tank
while he slowly healed, and moved with the rest of the Tok'ra to
Revanna. When the Goa'uld attacked Revanna, Lantash's tank was destroyed,
and he did the only thing he could to survive -- he entered Lt.
Elliot's body, which was nearby, badly hurt by the attack. (Summit)
- Ren'al: (...) She was part
of the team that held Martouf's body in stasis, then chose to let
him die in order to save Lantash. She headed the team that modified
a chemical that SG-1 got from the Reol (the race of beings that
emit a chemical substance that convinces other beings that they
recognize and trust the Reol, from Fifth Man), making it
work on Goa'uld as well, so that Daniel could use it to get close
enough to release a poison that is meant to wipe out the ranking
system lords. She died in the attack on Vorash. (Summit)
- Added to Tok'ra, Technology:
- Crystals:
specifically, cave-forming crystals. Each one is designed to create
a different kind of tunnel. (Summit)
- small square: short, straight openings
- long rectangle: long straight tunnel
- diamond: tunnel that angles up to the surface
- Warning system: long-range sensors
detect incoming ships and send signals into deep space warning
them away, in the event of a catastrophic attack. (Last Stand)
