Race/Culture	Description
Abydonians	The Abydonians were abducted from earth by the Goa'uld Ra several thousand years ago. Kasuf is the Abydonian leader. All of the Abydonians were acended with the help of Oma Desala. Text by Susie

Aliens of P3X-118	The aliens of P3X-118 established a foothold situation on Earth when they were able to access the thoughts and duplicate the appearance of the SGC members, and take command of the base as a new home world. They were defeated and escaped. Their homeworld was blocked by the SGC. Text by Gizmo

Altairian	Harlan is an artificial lifeform from the planet Altair and was the last of his kind. He created android duplicates of SG-1 when they visited his planet so that he could have company and help in maintaining the underground facility which kept him powered."Comtrya!" was Harlan's cheerful greeting to the members of SG-1. He was so very happy to have company since he had been alone on his planet, Altair, for thousands of years. His people had created an underground facility to save their civilization from the poisonous atmosphere. They learned how to make android copies of their physical forms and duplicate their consciousnesses into them. Harlan called them "synthetic". Harlan needed the SG-1 copies that he had copied from the real SG-1, to help him maintain the facility. He was very cheerful for a being who had been alone for so long (11,000 years). His drive for self-preservation was remarkable, considering that many of his fellow Altairans chose to die by going through the Stargate or to the surface of the planet. Text by Lilliane Z.

Ancients	The Anicents are the orignal Gate builders and may even be the ones who taught the Romans how to build roads. They were once in an alliance with the Asgard, the Nox and the Furlings. The Ancients experimented with phase shifting and, when a plague threated to wipe them out, time travel. As said plage was wiping out the Ancients they left their outpost in antarctica and headed to the pegasus galaxy. Here they encountered the Wraith. After a long war with the Wraith, the Ancients that didn't asend (to a higher plane of existance where they exist as pure energy) returned to the milkyway where they later died out and ultimatly asended aswell. Their technology is rivaled only by that of the Ori as they are essentially the same race. The only known Ancient battle ship/vessle im other than a cityship (such as atlantis) is the Aurora class battle ship, armed with drones. The Ancients, now ascended, maintain a strict code of non-interferance and there are punishments for those who interfere. The milky way was sheltered from the Ori by the Ancients and one, Merlin/ Mirdeth returned to his physical form and designed a weapon to kill ascended beings in case the Ori ever tried to enter the milky way and destroy the Ancients.

Android/New Replicators	The apex of countless years of Replicator evolution, created in mere moments (relatively speaking) after accelerating a time-dilation device on the Asgard world of Halla. After accessing Asgard memory banks the Replicators discovered data on the android Reese and realized she was their creator. They studied her design and form and found aspects of her physiology superior to their own. They composed in millions of cell units (similar to nanites) which combined to create human form. First was forged in her image. Soon he was joined by Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth who also took on human form. They successfully reversed the Asgard time-dilation device to work in their favor and give them thousands of years to propigate the species before spreading from Halla like a horrible plague. Instead of kerons, humanoid Replicators are based on the element neutronium. They possess an arrogance fitting of "higher" life forms such as Anubis. They are impervious to projectile weaponry, their bodies taking on a consistency that allows all ammunition to pass entirely through. They have the ability to "meld" with the minds of human beings by literally shoving a hand into the forehead, recalling memories and interacting with the violated individual in real-time. They are also capable of "merging" with keron-based Replicators, be it for communal or information and strategizing purposes. One humanoid Replicator, Fifth, was created without the "flaw" in the Replicator programming, in existence since the very beginning with Reese. Consequently he became far more human in behavior than his counterparts, who believed he was a mistake. When Sixth was created they reverted to their original line of development. SG-1 used Fifth¡¯s humanity against him, convincing him to help them in exchange for safe passage out of Halla and beyond the range of the time-dilation field. He agreed to stay behind and fend off his Replicator brethren from the device until time for him to join them. Not realizing the device would go off two minutes too soon, he became trapped with the rest who declared the humans had made a fool of him. In real time it only took two years for the Replicators to reach the dilation device and deactivate it. SG-1 was with Thor in the Halla system when the Asgard collapsed Halla's star, hoping the singularity would absorb all of Halla and every Replicator in existence. Unfortunately Fifth and his Replicator bretheren found a way to escape the gravity field, captured Major Samantha Carter and programmed a new course for the new Asgard planet, Orilla. Fifth interrogated Carter intently en-route, taking a sample of her DNA. Upon arriving at Orilla, he led a detachment of his bretheren to the surface while their ship was destroyed by Asgard firepower in orbit. On the ground, they located a large vein of neutronium where Fifth recreated Carter in humanoid Replicator form, disposing of the actual Carter, and taking off into the unknown with a new ship.

Argosians	The Argosians was brought to Argos by the Goa'uld Pelops. He wanted to study the human lifespan so he developed nanites and implanted them into every Argosian child at birth. These nanites gave the human 100 days to live their entire life, from birth to death. Jack is condemed to this fate of 100 days after he is seduced by an Argosian woman named Kynthia. As Jack ages, Sam and Janet are able to find a way to shut the nanites down and stop the aging process. Text by Lilliane Z.

Aris Boch's Race	Aris Boch comes from an race that it's imune to simbiots, however their planet was conqered by the Goa'uld and the Goa'ud made them addicted by an drog that only the Goa'ulds have. After ceturies of using that drog they can't no longer live without it. Text by nicoleta iga

Aschen	The Aschen are a race who in an alternative time, were Earth alies, they helped SG-1 to save our planet from the Goa'uld, but they also made a vaccine who was used to stop humans to have children, when Hammond found out about this they killed him. Eventualy the alternative Sam and the rest of SG-1 found a way to worn theselves about the Aschen danger. In the episode "2001" SG-1 managed to stop earth becoming allied to them, however they have lost a human Ambassador, because of them. Text by nicoleta iga

Asgard	The Asgard are small grey-ish blue aliens, which have tooken on the aspead of the norse Gods (Thor, Oden, Frai) which was druing the viking peiod. They were one of the 4 members of The Inter Galactic Alliance. The Goa'uld are wary of them as they are very technologically advanced. Unfortunately they have another enemy, what they consider more serious, called Replicators. The Asgard have a Protected Planets Treaty in place with the Goa'uld and have added Earth to it, which offers some protection from the System Lords. The Asgard travel by means of spaceships and have matter transporters to "beam" down to planets, rather than using a Stargate. Text by Gizmo

Ashrak	According to Teal'c the ashrack are a race of trained killers who work for the Goa'uld and who always kill they targets; it was an ashrack that killed Jolinar of Malskur and it was an ashrack the simbiot who attcked the Alpha site. Text by nicoleta iga

Atoniek	A highly advanced but now long-dead civilization, predating the Goa'uld by many thousands of years. What led to the downfall of the Atonieks is unclear, but it may have had something to do with the limits of their advanced technology (such as the atoniek armbands, which gave the wearer increased speed and strength) and the degree to which they relied on it. The armbands only work for a short period of time, and when disabled left the wearer disoriented and vulnerable. After one use it was impossible for them to be reconnected to the same user. It is possible that the Atonieks were at war with an enemy who discovered this weakness and used it against them, forcing the society to crumble under the weight of its own arrogance. The Atoniek civilization was studied at length by the Tok'ra archaeologist Anise, who spent much of her life searching for the armband technology. Text by Lilliane Z.

Ayiana's people	Ayiana's people are the Ancients.

Bedrosian	A race of humans that live on one continent, while another race of humans live on the other continent, the Optricans. They are enemies and believe in different beliefs.The Bedrosians believed that humans were created by their god Nefertum (a Goa'uld). But, in fact, it is the Optricans that were right, believing that they were brought through the Gateway, or Stargate. When the gate is found, the Bedrosian general Rigar imprisoned SG-1 as Optrican spies and learns that the Optricans were right to begin with. Text by Lilliane Z.

Burrock's people	A human colony living as an agrarian society for many generations, and who once served Unas slavemasters before rising up and making the Unas their slaves. The Unas themselves likely served the Goa'uld, but when SG-1 visited Burrock's planet the people had kept primitive Unas as beasts of burden for generations. Most recently Burrock had visited P3X-888 and captured Daniel's Unas friend, Chaka. Long ago Burrock's people successfully overthrew the dominating Unas and took the Goa'uld technology they possessed, making the masters (the Unas) the slaves for generations since. A family from these generations handed down Stargate addresses, which Burrock used to capture Unas from other worlds to improve the genetic strength of his slaves. With the arrival of SG-1, Burrock lost control of his Unas and was killed by Chaka. With Unas ready to fight against their abusive human masters, Chaka led the two groups to a peaceful settlement. Humans and Unas now co-exist on the planet. Text by Lilliane Z.

Byrsa	A primitive, pre-industrial people of the planet Cartego, plagued by frequent attacks from Goa'uld seeking new hosts for their young. The Byrsan justice system follows the Cor-Ai, a trial in which the one who has been injured or wronged determines the proper punishment for the transgressor. Normally the Byrsa are a very pleasant society. They are artful in the use of fire. They are developed in the culinary arts and the building of relatively tall stone structures, including sturdy holding areas for captured prisoners. When the chevrons on the Stargate shine red, the Byrsa are alerted that the Goa'uld are on the way. They have caves and tunnels in all directions, and immediately flee into hiding. Unfortunately, the Byrsa are only as fast as the slowest among them, as they refuse to ever leave anyone behind. Teal'c, while in the service of Apophis, was aware of this, and after being ordered to kill one of the Byrsa to stir their submission Teal'c chose to execute a crippled old man -- the member of the group he believed would slow them down the most. He hoped that by doing so the Byrsa might evade his battalion during their next encounter. After the son of the victim agreed not to put Teal'c to death for this horrible act (Teal'c had recently proven his worth to the people by fighting for them against a Jaffa battallion), SG-1 agreed to help them fortify themselves against the Goa'uld. Text by Lilliane Z.

Cave people of P3K-447

Chulak's Inhabitants	The people of Chulak, Teal'c's homeworld, are Jaffa -- enslaved servants of the Goa'uld. Among the population are also a number of priests who administer other needs, most notably implantation of larval Goa'uld symbiotes into young Jaffa who have come of age. The Chulak culture has been forcibly maintained at a minimal progressive level under the heel of the occupying Goa'uld, who have thrones of luxury on the world. The general population exists parallel to an archaic period of Earth, with little to no industrialization. In certain outlying sectors of the populated areas lie pockets of communities who have been outcast from the Chulak hierarchy, but have avoided destruction. These outcasts live in constant fear in impoverished, makeshift villages, and when a Jaffa or other aggressors are near they run in fear. The priests seem to be the only ones who minister to these outcasts. Searching for his infant son, Apophis once attacked Chulak and killed countless Jaffa. But with the destruction of Apophis the people of Chulak possess a ray of hope. If only to remove the necessity of symbiotes, which are continually growing scarce, they could be freed forever. Alas, that day is still on the horizon, and the Chulak people need every hand of sympathy. Yet they are a proud people, and only a minority agrees with Teal'c and Bra'tac's belief that the Goa'uld are false gods. Text by Lilliane Z.

Cimmerians	The Cimmerians are humans, but they were taken from Midgard (Earth), to Asgard(Cimmeria), for protectio, they where taken there by the ASGARDS, because they wanted to see how this species will evolve. They are under the protection of "THOR". This is because when the Asgardians came to Earth, in was inhabitet by vikings, so they took the disguise of ancient norse gods. They are the protected race, and the asgardians will not let anything bad happen to them. Text by CH34T

Creature from P2X-338	Predatory creature inhabiting the Goa'uld Marduk's ziggurat on P2X-338, characterized by locomotion on both tentacles and jointed limbs. It has a long neck, large black eyes, and sharp fangs. Marduk's priests placed the wicked tyrant into a sarcophagus with this creature, which continually devoured him as the sarcophagus rejuvenated his organs countless times. When the Goa'uld could no longer bear the unending torture it left the host's body and sought refuge in the creature itself, living within it until the sarcophagus was opened by a Russian Stargate unit. When the creature was wounded by SG-1, the Goa'uld inside abandoned it for another human host: Major Vallarin of the Russian unit. The creature died soon after. Text by Chris Gren

Crystalline Entity	A blue quartz crystal life form which was almost wiped out by the Goa'uld. They are a form of energy thay have the ability to copy and recreate other lifeforms. Text by Gizmo Additional Information: The crystal referred to itself and all the other crystals as "The Unity" which could very well be thought as a name for them based on the description of their sharing of existence on a higher level. Text by Esko

Doci	A Doci is a person that is used by the Ori to communicate with other beings. The Ori uses the body of the Doci for some time. He speaks with his tongue. But the voice sounds strange when the Ori are in the body of the Doci.

Endorans	The endorans are the people who live on the planet Endora, their planet's stargate was hit by a gigantic meteorite and Sam had to work for almost three months just to re-establish another gate contact. Text by nicoleta iga

Energy being	Small, unassuming balls of light, not much smaller than marbles, inhabiting the moon of M4C-862. The creatures are capable of traveling through objects at will, and appear to possess a rudimentary, instinctual intelligence. The entities of light are perfectly harmless and do not pass through mortal flesh unless one of two factors occurs: 1. Cadet Hailey's theory: The planets energy fields are in a state of magnetic flux while a rogue object, either a small asteroid or meteor, is pulled over the poles, causing the light aliens to go into an angry frenzy. 2. Major Carter's theory: The beings are capable of communicating and relaying threats to one another. Not only does this mean they're intelligent, but they are also terratorial and possibly sentient. Either theory is likely, but the S.G. teams being attacked by the creatures were not going to wait around and find out. When penetrating the body, the light beings essentially "cook" the surface of the flesh, and possibly the inside of the body as well. Repeated attacks can be fatal. The S.G. teams determined an erratic disturbance in an electromagnetic field, such as a human's, repels the creatures. Jack O'Neill volunteered to be zapped by a zat'nikatel in order to reach the Stargate and dial Earth. For a matter of minutes O'Neill's bio-electric alteration repelled the creatures, but not long enough. It took a rescue by Teal'c with the zat gun to continue to fight off the creatures until the Stargate was active. Once done, the enormous super-conductor created it's own, greater field of electromagnetism, allowing the teams to escape. Text by Lilliane Z.

Enkarans	A society of humanoid aliens who are extremely sensitive to specific atmospheric conditions. The original Enkaran homeworld, it is believed, has no Stargate. Therefore, it is assumed the Goa'uld took a band of the people from their world in ships long ago. Without the exact environmental conditions the Enkarans go blind and eventually die. Their physiology is adapted to an extremely rare atmosphere which allows them to thrive. Stargate Command discovered the situation they were in and desperately sought out the correct planet to transplant them. Eventually they were successful, and the Enkarans immediately took root in their new world, establishing structures and giving thanks to SG-1 for saving them. Unfortunately, only weeks after the new settlements were rooted, a threat from nearby began rumbling through the forests of the beautiful world. An alien ship apparently intent on terraforming the entire surface of the planet. Negotiations with the newly created life form to communicate with the Enkarans failed at first, but with the aid of Daniel Jackson and the rest of SG-1, the ship was able to plot a course to the original Enkaran home world. The Enkarans were more than pleased to return to their people, and immediately began preparations to ride the ship back to their original planet. Text by Lilliane Z.

Entity	The entity was a computer being who could have been killed only by radio sounds she got at SGC through a MALP and afterwards she had entered Sam's brain, she was eventually killed by Jack, in order to save Sam. Text by nicoleta iga

Eurondans	Driven by an Adolf Hitler ideology, the Eurondans were once a prominent occupying force on their planet. One Eurondan, the father of Alar, executed a plan to extinguish the filth of the Breeders, a neighboring force. Intent on preserving their genetic purity, the Eurondans built an underground bunker they called Euronda Base and began pumping deadly fumes into the atmosphere in the hopes that they could exterminate the enemy. For many decades the battle waged on. Breeders gained power over the largest body of water on the world, which the Eurondans needed to power their deuterium-fueled controlled fusion reactors. When the Eurondans dug up the Stargate within their territory and located the glyphs to the original home world, Alar made contact with Earth in the hopes that they would render his people aid. SG-1 was sent to investigate, and eventually learned the true situation for themselves. In a final act, SG-1 commandeered several automated aero fighters and plowed them into Euronda base, decimating the war room and destroying all hope of ever defeating the Breeders. Text by Lilliane Z.

Fenri	The Fenri is a large bug like animal, with large teeth, that can huver. The Goa'uld hunted them for a long time because thay believed that the Fenri had the capiblity to become invisable, but it was the Nox who had that power. You see the Nox are pacifists and every time the Goa'uld came to hunt the Fenri the Nox would hide it. Text by Gizmo

Gadmeer	The Gadmeer, whose physiology is based on sulfur rather than carbon, were an advanced and peaceful race who fell victim to a superior military power. They placed their legacy, all their knowledge from 10,000 years of civilization, into a ship, looking for a new home world to re-terraform and colonize. Text by Gizmo

Goa'uld	The Goa'uld are a parasitic race of snake like creatures who inhabit hosts. They subpress the personalities and minds of their hosts, in fact they would have you believe that "nothing of the host survives", but SG-1 have proved that is not true. SG-1 have recently discovered the Goa'uld's home planet which is also inhabited by Unas, who were the first hosts of the Goa'uld. When the unas race started to decrease thay discovered that humans were better, as they were easier to "repair" using the sarcophagus. The Goa'uld parasite controls its host by wrapping its self around the spinal cord, at the base of the neck, and controlling the nervous system. When the Goa'uld discovered Earth a millennia ago, they started transporting people through the Stargate to become either slaves, hosts or Jaffa. The Goa'uld System Lords ruled in the guise of "gods" and many are still alive today. The Goa'uld are feudal with the most powerful ones usually becoming System Lords, but as Teal'c puts it "The System Lords occasionally band together to defend themselves from such outside threats as The Asgard and The Reetou, but they still battle amongst themselves for control of their individual domains". There are dozens of System Lords but thousands of Goa'uld. Goa'uld live very long lives and use the sarcophagus technology to extend this even more. They need to change hosts about every 400 years if they don't use a sarcophagus. Although they use the Stargate, but didn't invent it, they also have powerful spaceships capable of great destruction and heavily defended. Text by Gizmo More about Goa'uld

Ha'ktyl	An alliance of a multitude of Jaffa women formerly under the banner of the Goa'uld Moloc. The women formed a secret rebellion against Moloc under the command of Ishta, who still serves as his high priestess. When Moloc began murdering all infant girls born to the Jaffa in his service, Ishta -- who was called upon to preside over the Ceremony of Fire -- began smuggling the children into safety on the planet Hak'tyl. The women have received training as warriors, and are expected to defend their homeworld if it comes under attack. Originally the Hak'tyl stole symbiotes from other Jaffa to survive, but they were eventually convinced by SG-1 to rely on tretonin as an alternative to their dependence on the Goa'uld. Many of the resistance, especially the younger members, had never seen a male before SG-1 visited their camp. Eventually they came to accepting them, and with Ishta's persuasion, formed an alliance with Earth. Text by Chris Gren

Hankans	An race of humans from the planet Hanka who were once under the occupying force of Nirrti, who altered their biochemistry in the hopes of creating a hok'taur. The little we know of the Hankans comes from the data SG-7 collected while observing an impending black hole on the planet, as well as the rescue of a single survivor, Cassandra, designated by Nirrti to harbor a deadly weapon of destruction against the human race. The Hankans were indeed a peaceful people who thrived within their environment. From the structures near the Stargate it can be determined they were fairly advanced in technology. In their teenage years the Hankans would suffer a "mind fire," in which they would by instinct, be summoned into the forest to seek out a primal force. By touching a glowing hand on a tree they would be drawn to a warm fire where Goa'uld transport rings would sweep them underground to Nirrti laboratory, filled with devices allowing her to determine her progress at creating the perfect Hankan host. When SG-7 arrived Nirrti realized her plan might be discovered and unleashed a massive viral plague in the atmosphere of Hanka, killing all the inhabitants, including SG-7, save for Cassandra. Text by Lilliane Z.

Harcesis	Harsiensis is the child of Sha're and Apophis. He was called like that by his mother because he knows everything about Goa'uld technology. He is raised by Oma Desala, and he has the ability of thelephatic comunication. Text by iga nioleta

Hebridans	A mixed race of humans and Serrakin that inhabit the world of Hebridan. After the Serrakin freed human slaves from the Goa'uld millennia ago, they successfully integrated the species into their society and called themselves Hebridians, inter-marrying and living in peace for generations. Hebridian society has, from time to time, been rocked by superstition that one species is attempting to suppress the other, but overall these claims have been unsuccessful and the combined populace has thrived into a boomingly rich culture. Frequently, the two species cross-breed, and have maintained a healthy balance despite the genetically diverse races. A few humans among them, however, believe that the Serrakin are oppressing them and making them second-class citizens. Hebridan is the cultural center of the Loop of Kon Garat, an annual outer space racing event. Text by Lilliane Z.

Inhabitants of P3R-118	A city of technologically advanced humans who have suppressed an entire population beneath their feet into doing their bidding by powering and maintaining the city above without their knowledge. They are ruled by Minister Caulder, who maintains this task through an emissary, Brenna. Little is known of the people as a whole. They survive within an enormous bio-dome, where the world beyond is nothing but ice and snow. They possess modes of transportation and, from what appears of the city, live in a wealth of luxury. However, following Jack O'Neill's return to his true memory (after a failed memory stamp), he turned the tables and showed the people below of the city above, forcing Caulder people to pay for their ill treatment of the others of their kind beneath the surface and take responsibility for their inactions. Text by Lilliane Z.

Inhabitants of P3X-367	Once a proud culture, Alebran's people were mutated by the Goa'uld Nirrti's genetic experiements. The former Goa'uld System Lord had discovered a piece of Ancient technology on the planet, and used it to manipulate their DNA to give them supernatural abilities -- including telekinesis and telepathy -- in the hopes of engineering the perfect host. The unsuspecting people lived peacefully on their world when, for no apparent reason, they began to develop enormous growths of tumors and other bodily abnormalities. Then Nirrti revealed herself, promising to cure the population with the genetic manipulation device. However, she was hiding the real truth from them that she had originally been responsible for the outbreak of plague. Alebran, found by the S.G.C.'s Russian team, returned to Earth and informed Stargate Command that Nirrti had wiped out his entire village. With the arrival of SG-1, Alebran's people defended Nirrti as their savior, using their abilities to imprison the team. SG-1 eventually managed to free themselves and convince Eggar, a local who had been transformed, that he should read Nirrti's mind to discover the truth for himself. The Goa'uld's plot was revealed and Wodan, another resident of the planet, used his telekinetic ability to kill Nirrti. Fortunately, Eggar had taken from her mind all that was necessary to operate the device that had transformed them, and began the work of restoring the population to normal. Text by Lilliane Z.

Inhabitants of P3X-513	Settlement of humans who were once oppressed by the Goa'uld, forced to reside in caves due to the harsh conditions outside. They did not possess the technology to dig themselves deeper into the caves to make room for their geometric population growth. As Jonas Hanson explained, it was "like a third-world country in a bottle." Not months after the inception of the S.G.C., they were visited by SG-9, commanded by Captain Hanson, who became obsessed with the sad lifestyle of the cave-dwelling inhabitants that he eventually convinced himself that he was their god, sent to bring them out of darkness. Hanson turned every able body into a worker for his kingdom with plans to construct a palace for himself. In return, he would "make the sky orange" again, where a sun sheild would prevent the solar radiation from being able to reach the surface and kill the plants and animals. Having received word of the developments, SG-1 arrived, intent on restoring order. After several skirmishes, SG-1 themselves were able to activate the sun shield generators and make the sky orange themselves. Hanson, who had recently declared a public execution via the Stargate, was himself thrown into the event horizon by the inhabitants who realized his promises were empty, killing him upon impact with the iris on the other side. Text by Lilliane Z.

Inhabitants of P9X-3971	The first sign of Christianity occurred in SG-1's third year of operation when they journeyed to a planet inhabited by medieval Christians. Dr. Jackson speculated the original inhabitants must have been transported through the Antarctic Stargate. The medieval Christians of this world were under the dominion of the Goa'uld Anubis, who would send his Unas as dark emissaries each season to capture a number of locals and take them back to it's master, presumably to become hosts or be sent into the fires of Ne'tu. The medieval Christians were led by the Canon, a man of ultimate authority who used a weather control ring to show his dominance and superiority, believing only he had the power and blessing to condemn selected people to return with the demonic Unas. With the arrival of SG-1, the team managed to destroy the Unas and, out of necessity, kill the Canon, who had been possessed by the Unas' desperate symbiote, leaving the medieval Christians to hopefully live a better life for themselves and their higher power.

Insects from another dimension

Insects on BP6-3Q1	These insects can distort regular human Dna and break up their bio structure and reform it into their own dna producing many hatchlings of them selves. Text by Samuel Camerun

Jaffa	When the Goa'uld took many of Earth's population through the Stargate many millennia ago some became Jaffa. Jaffa are the warriors and "incubators" of the Goa'uld - they have special stomach pouches where larval Goa'uld are kept, protected and nourished. There is a strong symiotic relationship although the Jaffa can't communicate with the larva. It is a replace of the Jaffa's immune system giving them extended life and enhanced healing powers, however, that means the Jaffa can't survive for more than a few hours without it. Jaffa get an immature larva when they are 8 years old and they carry the infant Goa'uld for about 7 years. When it leaves and seeks a host the jaffa then resives another infant Goa'uld. The larval Goa'uld can not take control them. The stomach pouch keeps it seperate from the Jaffa, unlike adult Goa'uld who take a host and wrap around their spinal cord. Text by Gizmo More about Jaffa

Junans	A primitive people who have survived under the oppression of the Goa'uld Heru-ur for countless generations. SG-1 visited Juna following Heru-ur's destruction by Apophis and told the people they had nothing to fear, not realizing another Goa'uld would move in and lay claim to Heru-ur's territory so rapidly. The Goa'uld Cronus arrived and declared himself lord over all of Juna, forcing them to unearth their Stargate and worship him as their god. The people of Juna are almost tribal in appearance, though their skills with language and the art of crafting homes, camouflage clothing and primitive weaponry indicate otherwise. The entire colony lives in an enormous range near the base of the pyrimdal Ha'tak landing platform. Junas people were naturally faithless in anyone who appeared to come from the Tau'ri, and when Harlans SG-1 duplicates arrived on the scene, the people had no problem turning their would-be saviors over to Cronus. When the "real" SG-1 discovered the planets predicament via Harlan, they went to render aid. After gaining assistant from several locals, SG-1 and their counterparts effectively removed Cronus' presence from the world, boarding his Ha'tak and destroying him. They encouraged the people to come and see for themselves that Cronus was dead, and cleaned house with the rest of his Jaffa forces who were trapped throughout the ship, before taking the vessel on to Vorash. Once more, the people of Juna were free. Text by Lilliane Z.

K'tauans	A picture-print society of Norse culture if it had been allowed to develop in its own direction. At the time of SG-1's visit, their people's leader was Elrad, Flamen of the 39th order of K'Tau. The people are peaceful, and their lifestyle and technology is akin to the Amish of Earth. K'Tau clothing is constructed of plain, reserved colors, absent of any ornate jewelry or complex design. Like on Cimmeria, they worship the gods, particularly Freyr, who they believe is responsible for their bountiful crops and rich lifestyle. The planet is defended by the Asgard through the enforcement of the Protected Planets Treaty, to prevent the Goa'uld from attacking and turning the people into slaves. Messengers of the gods are known as elves, who carry messages regarding the will of the gods to their worlds and often fortell miracles or doom. When SG-1 arrived their presence was initially percieved to be of good fortune, but it was not long before the sun (the Eye of Oden) changed it's energy emissions to the infrared end of the spectrum, which would inevitably force plant life to die and, ergo, the entire people. SG-1 made use of the K'Tau people's temple where the high governers were allowed to beam themselves into a vault of solid rock beneath and speak with their gods, albeit only semi-interactive holograms. SG-1 later returned and hailed the Asgard with the device, where O'Neill was granted an audience with the Asgard High Council, but in the end they decided it was best not to interfere for fear of the Goa'uld nullifying the treaty. If SG-1 was going to emerge with a solution to save the people of K'Tau, they were going to have to do it on their own. During this period the K'Tau people continually prayed to Freyr that His will be done in their predicament. They were unwilling to entertain the possibility to leave, and took offense to Colonel O'Neill's suggestion that their gods were merely aliens who chose not to intervene in the face of their children's destruction. The S.G.C. worked for weeks to construct a rocket loaded with material to return the sun to normal, but it was destroyed by K'Tau radicals (led by Malchus) who believed they were doing the will of the gods. Two members of SG-6, as well as two of the K'Tau who gave their lives for the cause were killed in the process. In a last-ditch effort, Major Carter resorted to attempting the release of HU-2340 directly into the sun when the wormhole's matter stream intersected. Whether or not this plan worked is unknown. As SG-1 returned to K'Tau to say goodbye to the people whose lives they had changed, and easily doomed, the sun returned to normal. It was immediately hypothesized that the Asgard intervened, as may have been their plan all along, but did not tell SG-1 to save face for any future encounter with the Goa'uld. Text by Lilliane Z.

Kelownans	Jonas Quinn's homeworld of Langara is plagued by international strife, and is an uneasy ally of Earth. The Langarans include the citizens of at least three major nation-states -- Kelowna, Terrania, and the Andari Federation -- which have suffered from constant war and strife for generations. Only under the threat of Goa'uld domination did they form a tenuous alliance, administered by the Joint Ruling Council. One of their first acts was to name their world "Langara," a word which has its roots in an ancient language common to all three peoples. The Kelownans discovered the planet's Stargate circa 1986 (Earth time), along with a number of Goa'uld artifacts. Also unique to the planet is the element naquadria, a powerful derivative of naquadah, which is believed to have been artificially created by the Goa'uld Thanos, who lived there some 3,000 years ago. The majority of naquadria is located in Kelownan territory, and it was the Kelownans who developed and unleashed a powerful naquadria bomb against their former enemy nations in the months before the arrival of the Goa'uld. Through centuries of isolation from the Goa'uld and the rest of the galaxy, the Langaran culture has developed at its own pace. Their development is currently similar to the level of the United States around the mid-twentieth century. During the Kelownans' naquadria bomb development project their experiments took a terrible turn, prompting Daniel Jackson to sacrifice his life to stop the weapon from wiping out Kelowna's capital city. Since that time, the Kelownan government has been leery of an outright alliance with Earth. After the planet narrowly averted Goa'uld enslavement and its three nations united, Jonas Quinn returned home to help them build their new future. Text by Lilliane Z.

Latonans	A city of humans from the planet Latona who abandoned the will to develop technologically in favor of exploring the mind. Any technology that breaks down on their world, thusly, remains unfixed, as the people no longer possess the knowledge to make the necessary repairs. The Latonans relied on a particular piece of defense technology, the Sentinel, to prevent the people from falling under Goa'uld occupation by eliminating any who threatened their borders from the world and in orbit. Unfortunately, they were unable to repair it when they learned a rogue N.I.D. unit from Earth had dissected the device and killed its caretaker, the one person who could utilize the device. The leader of the Latonans, Marul, was confident that the Sentinel and its caretaker were well and functioning by a candle that burnt bright in his office. He was unaware the N.I.D. team had rigged the candle to continually burn. With the arrival of SG-1 and the recently imprisoned, former N.I.D. operatives Grieves and Kershaw, they were able to determine that the Sentinel was, indeed, reassembled correctly, and that it had simply been missing its human component. In an act of redemption, Colonel Grieves allowed himself to become the person necessary to interface with the device, thus wiping away the Goauld Svarog presence and preserve the safety of the Latonans once again. The Latonans are not the first culture humans from Earth have mettled within. It is unlikely, even after the Tau'ri repaired the damage, that the Latonans remained welcoming to the race that had been responsible for the loss of so many of their people, and had, after all, nearly sealed the doom of their entire race.

Linvris	A rival league of lesser Goa'uld who challenged the System Lords. Text by Lilliane Z.

Loran	Upon exiting the Stargate, SG-1 finds itself in the midst of battle. A group of SG soldiers battles a Jaffa army. Believing the soldiers to be the missing-in-action SG-11 team, Colonel Jack O'Neill and the others provide assistance. Much to their surprise, the mystery SG team turns their weapons on SG-1! SG-1 wakes up in the soldier's training camp with headaches and no weapons. The camp's leader, Captain Rogers, assumes them to be from a rival camp until he recognizes Teal'c as Jaffa. Rogers presumes that SG-1 has been sent by the camp's long-gone Jaffa leaders to test their battle readiness. The Captain explains that the soldiers' standing orders are to practice battle using nonlethal Earth weapons until the return of Apophis. O'Neill tells them Apophis is dead. The soldiers don't believe him and resume their war games. As O'Neill and the others try to figure out what to do, the games take a disastrous turn when SG-1's confiscated weapons accidentally make it out onto the battlefield. Text by Lilliane Z.

Lord Varlocks thugs	Lord Varlock Thugs were nothing more than human actors that were in the new t.v. show called "Wormhole X-Treme", which Martin Loyd created. Little did he know he based it on the Stargate. You see he druged him self so than he would forget about what happened on his planet and forget the Stargate Text by Gizmo

Machello's race	Little is known of his race, aside from the fact that they likely had advanced technology on a similar level to that of Ma'chello's. Having been recognized as a powerful threat against the parasitical race, two billion of his people died rather than turning him over to the Goa'uld and giving up his powerful secrets which were capable of defeating them. By how he spoke, it was logical to deduce that somewhere in the process his planet was destroyed. Text by Lilliane Z.

Madronans	A relatively primitive, almost ethereal society who live in an environment of beauty and climate of thier choosing. Their religion and society is largely based around a piece of alien technology, possibly Ancient in origin, called the Touchstone, capable of altering their world's climate within moments. The Medronans first made contact with Earth through the Rogue N.I.D. team who wished to study the Touchstone technology, eventually resorting to snatching the device from its owners without their knowledge. Following the loss of the Touchstone, the Medronans almost immediately faced drastic climate alterations. The skies above their planet went black with lightning and violent winds. Eventually an ice age began to take over the world, freezing the oceans and jeopardizing the safety of the Medronans. Still, after SG-1 promised to recover the device, the Medronans decided that holding the team captive would not help in retrieving the Touchstone, and agreed to let them go in the chance that the team would keep their word in returning the device. Eventually they did succeed in retrieving the technology from the Rogue N.I.D. agents, and placed it back in the hands of the Medronans. The Medronans' spiritual leaders are Roham and possibly his niece, Princes La Moor, who may also be responsible for governing the population. Text by Lilliane Z.

Malikei's people	Malikai was an alien archaeologist who attempted to activate a time machine left behind by the Ancients on the planet P4X-639 in order to go back twelve years to see his wife alive once more. He did not know that the machine never worked properly and sent fourteen worlds into a continuous time loop of ten hours. SG-1 eventually figured out the problem and convinced Malikai to deactivate the machine. Text by Lilliane Z.

Martin Lloyd's race	When their race was overcome in a war with the Goa'uld, a small group of men were selected to leave their planet and search for allies. After failing to find anything but more hardship, they chose to desert the rest of their race and hide out on Earth. Only one in this group listened to his conscience: Martin Lloyd. He believed that he and the others were responsible for their actions and should return to their world. Instead, the others gave him Earth drugs to suppress his memories of his true identity as an extra-terrestrial. Martin's race possesses technology far advanced from Earth's. They are obviously capable of space flight, and are in possession of very sophisticated equipment, possibly on a level similar to the Tollan. Martin, having temporarily uncovered who he really was, provided the S.G.C. with the Stargate address for his homeworld. After arriving on the other side it was clear that, from the vantage point of the Stargate, the Goa'uld had succeeded in annihilating Martin's entire civilization. Martin returned back to Earth to live out his life. Martin's comrades got their chance to eventually beam away to their approaching mothership, leaving him behind on Earth. But it's what he wanted, as Lloyd has a new purpose: the sci-fi TV show "Wormhole X-Treme!" Text by Lilliane Z.

Nasyans	A peaceful, primitive society of tribal settlers, brought from Earth thousands of years ago under the slave banner of the Goa'uld. They can be identified by red, ornate tattoos on their temples which run down portions of their face. Nassyans were opening negotiations with Earth when the Goa'uld cronus barreled down a squadron of death gliders and troops to Nassya in the hopes of capturing Jolinar of Malkshur, who had been sent to be destroyed by one of Crunus' Ashrak. SG-1 aided in the evacuation of the Nassyans to Earth via the nearby Stargate in the midst of the attack. They were successful at rescuing the majority of the population, though there were a number who were killed in the attempt. In the days that followed, the Nassyans who had been injured were moved to a base near Stargate Command to receive treatment, until the S.G.C. had found a new home world to live out their lives in peace, far from the shadow of the Goa'uld. Text by Lilliane Z.

Nox	These were one of the original 4 races of the Inter galactic Alliance. They are pacifists (peaceful) people. When SG-1 first encounter them they think they are a simple, fairy like folk who need their help defending themselves from the Goa'uld. How ever that have the ablity to become invisible, and make other things invisible, like the Fenri. They become visable when they perform The Ritual of Life ceremony, which bring back the dead. They have huge floating cities - which they keep invisible. Text by Gizmo

Oannes	In Fire and Water Daniel is captured by Nem, an amphibian creature who wanted to know what happened to his mate Omoroca, who had gone to Earth to help fight the Goa'uld threat. The problem was it all happened in the Babylonian era and Daniel couldn't remember what he'd learned. The Oannes can alter, enhance and implant memories though and Daniel eventually remembered a legend about her and how she was killed by a Goa'uld. Text by Gizmo

Oma Desala's Race	Oma Desala's Race are the ancient well the ascended ancients and Ayiana's people are also the ancients. Text by Jeremy W.

Orbans	A peaceful and advanced culture who's ancestors managed to eventually separate from the threat of the Goa'uld. The people of Orban are descendents of the Aztec Teotihuacan civilization. It is believed the Goa'uld came down upon the Teotihuacan and transplanted them to Orban to live as slaves. The people of Orban have developed nano-technology, as well as the first example of naquadah generator technology found in the galaxy, which the S.G.C. used as a template for constructing their own. Their nano-technology has allowed them to designate Urrones, children specifically conceived to harbor nanites to collect and store knowledge, later to be dispensed into each member of the society following the Averium. The people of Orban did not consider educating their young after the Averium, but Jack O'Neill taught the young Urrone, Merrin, that such a future could be possible. Because Merrin learned this information, it was copied into her nannites and given to her people, who implemented these Earth ideas almost immediately following her Averium. Text by Lilliane Z.

Ori	A race of ascended entities who demand the worship of mortal beings. The Ori were left behind by the Ancients (known as the Alterans) when they departed their home galaxy for the Milky Way. The Ori use their ascension and knowledge of the universe as justification for praise and worship. Due to the origins of their ancestry the Ori believe they are the creators of human life. They are aware of the Ancients and shun them, for they abandoned the "path," and believe in the opposite philosophy. Not sharing the secrets of the universe to those on the lower planes of existence is an evil act and those who practice it must be eliminated. The Ori conceived the Origin faith, one that puts them in the center of creation, and wrote down their word in the Book of Origin to be administered to followers through Priors, missionaries and teachers of Origin. There is growing evidence that the Ancients and Ori possess an equal level of power in the many evolutionary planes of existence. Dr. Daniel Jackson suspected that it is because of this deadlock in strength that the Ancients have been able to prevent the Ori from the knowledge that the Milky Way galaxy populated. But the Ancients will not stop free will, nor will they prevent unbelievers from converting. The Ori use the Doci, the chief Prior, as their "mouthpiece" for communicating with lesser beings. They are able to possess his body to spread their demands and will. When this happens, they can be identified with fiery eyes. Text by Lilliane Z.

Pangarans	Technologically young and relatively trusting, the Pangarans welcomed Earth visitors after only a month of radio contact, eager to share what they had with the off-worlders -- particularly tretonin, which makes much of the population immune to any diseases. They are roughly equivalent in technological development to Earth in the early twentieth century. The Pangarans are a human offshoot species, whose ancestors were transplanted from Earth long ago by the Goa'uld -- who have since deserted their world. Their world was once occupied by the Supreme System Lord Ra, who maintained a base of operations there. It was on this world where legend wrote he fought Egeria (the mother of all Tok'ra) to the death. In actuality, he buried her symbiotic form alive in a stasis jar beneath his temple. Ra was later driven away by his enemy, Shaq'ran, who rebuilt over the ruins. Several decades ago, the Pangarans unearthed the ancient Goa'uld temple, as well as the Stargate. Though the people were able to determine that the gate is a means of travel, they were unable to deduce any valid addresses to dial. Pangaran society is organized in a heierarchy where the contribution status of the individual is paramount, making many inelegible for certain benefits -- chiefly tretonin, which about 20 percent of the population has received. Once the leaders realized the tretonin was growing scarce, it was not long before they discovered they would not be able to survive without it, leaving alive only those who had never taken it. The Pangarans derived tretonin from the symbiotes of the Goa'uld queen Egeria, whom they had unearthed (still alive in a stasis jar) in the dig. Following Egeria's blending with another Tok'ra host, she explained that she purposely contaminated the symbiote genome in the hopes that the Pangarans would discover the danger and stop. As her final act, Egeria corrected the genetic anomaly and saved many in the Pangaran population from death. The Pangarans remain repentant allies of Earth, and the Tok'ra. Text by Lilliane Z.

Primitive Aliens	A race who, on the outside, appear to be fairly human, but with a unique internal anatomy. The species has no apparent communication other than an unusually pitched "singing" which seems to correlate with the flora around them. They do not use gestures or body language to relay ideas or communicate by any means. Dr. Jackson, in his honesty, claimed to have more successful conversations with dogs. Following this comment he admitted, appearances aside, the race was probably less advanced than the Tau'ri. Still, the inhabitants remained curious of SG-1, and their rudimentary ways did not lend themselves to hostility. In fact, they were perfectly willing to let the team help when things began to fall apart. The creatures are concealed by the thick, paint-like material they adorn over their entire body. An internal organ in the chest was unidentifiable by Dr. Fraiser, but she suspected it was super-sensitive to subtle changes in sound. An ultrasound on one of the creatures sent it into a panic. When the plant life on PJ2-445 was disturbed by the crash of a U.A.V., the damage to the plant changed the pitch across the area for a radius of at least six miles, "injuring" the humanoid creatures, forcing many to go unconscious. Because of a thick- coated paint over their bodies, SG-1 was unable to determine whether or not they had a heartbeat or, for that matter, a pulse. After installing sound technology with the proper audible modulation via the original audio file, the plants and the humanoids, in a symbiotic unison, returned to normal. Text by Lilliane Z.

Prior	A Prior is a follower of the Ori. He has given special powers and after being transformed by the Ori he is not a normal human being anymore. He can make humans ill with the Prior Plague. But he can also save them from the illness. His most important mission is to visit planets with humans that are not already followers of the Ori. He has to persuade these humans to become believers of the Ori Religion.

Pyrus' people	Once under the control of an unknown Goa'uld, with the purpose to mine Naquada, Pyrus' people librated themselves (or killed the Goa'uld) and managed to keep various items such as the pyramid, Jaffa and priest uniforms and a sarcophagus. To reduce suspition from other Goa'ulds, Pyrus' people have continued to mine the Naquada and send it through the Stargate as they have done when they were under the control of the Goa'uld. In recent years the issue about the decreasing Naquada supply has raised concerns but no actions has been made to deal with the problem. Text by Nathan Messenjah

Quetlzelcoatl	Term coined by Nicholas Ballard to describe gargantuan creatures that appear within a lepton-enriched, thousand-meter-high pyramid on P7X-377. The creatures appear to originate from within the depths of the interior of this pyramid, which Ballard believed to drop forever when he threw his torch over a ridge. Though there may be others, one giant alien which exists in the pyramid calls himself Quetlezcoatl, and speaks in Mayan as well as English. The beings appear to use the reduction of neutrinos in this pyramid to transform themselves from a visible to invisible gas at will, allowing them to take whatever shape they wish. Only those who have been enveloped by the neutrino-spiking radiation are able to see and comprehend the creatures. Those of the Goa'uld, including Jaffa, are unable to be enveloped in this field. Not only does this determine friend or foe, but it also provides some degree of protection for the alien beings. Clearly, the foes of the giant aliens are the Goa'uld, as their opening greeting tends to be "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" in Mayan. Text by Lilliane Z.

Re'ole	Hunted nearly to extinction by the Goa'uld, those left of the Reole are nomadic, and hesitant to trust outsiders. The species naturally secretes a substance that can make an individual believe the Reole is not a threat, often incorporating themselves into the culture of the infected species to avoid detection. The substance also has the ability to alter memories and to make the Reole appear as one of the target's own species -- the perfect camoflague. This natural substance is the only advantage the Reole have, as they are peaceful creatures and are unable to defend themselves. Though it is an advantage, it is also the reason they are nearly extinct. The Goa'uld fervently wish to discover the secret behind the substance. Reole are physically very tall, lanky bipedal creatures with thick strands of "hair," and dark black eyes. Their heads are almost skeletal in shape. The Reole are xenophobic, probably due to Goa'uld persecution, but are not opposed to forming an alliance with Earth. A group has recently settled on a world unbeknownst to the System Lords, where they hope to rebuild their culture. Text by Lilliane Z.

Re'tou	A non-humanoid race that exists 180 degrees out of phase from normal space-time, and are thus completely invisible. The species are insectoid in appearance, resembling spiders with large eyes on the sides of their head, and spiny green arms and legs, permitting them to move quickly. They have multiple legs, and adults are approximately two and a half meters tall. When the Goa'uld discovered the peaceful Re'tu, they nearly wiped them out because they saw them as a potential threat. The governing body of those that have survived sent an envoy to Earth in the form of a human boy, capable of communicating with both his Re'tu "mother" and humans. The boy, who named himself "Charlie," was sent to warn Earth about a threat from a Re'tu rebel faction. The rebels are a gathering of hundreds, perhaps thousands or more Re'tu who believe the Goa'uld threat lies in their ability to take human hosts. Their goal is the extermination of all humans, in order to defeat the Goa'uld by attrition. They operate in 5-man suicide units, which infiltrate a target area (or planet) and do as much damage as they can before setting off an explosion equivalent to a small tactical nuke. Though they remain at war with the Goa'uld, the governing body of the Re'tu do not condone this course of action. The Re'tu possess advanced, plasma-based energy weapons fitted onto one arm. The weapon is capable of firing a powerful blast of energy, which becomes visible once it is fired at a target. Since Re'tu exist 180 degrees out of normal phase, conventional weapons can only "slow them down," if even that. Their only vulnerability lies in the T.E.R., or transphase eradication rod, several of which the Tok'ra have stolen from the Goa'uld and shared with Earth. The Re'tu rebels have only taken their plan to Earth once, but are still a force who could level entire cities if just a handful made it through the detection grid. Text by Chris gren

Reese	A corrupt and childlike android, Reese, created the Replicators to be her "toys," but also capable of defending her from threats. As their creator, she also passed on to them her own design flaw. As the inhabitants of her world feared the toys, and tried to destroy them, she ordered them to "replicate at all costs." She quickly lost control, and the Replicators annihilated her civilization, and her own creator in the process. After the Replicators left, Reese went into a deep depression and deactivated herself. Text by Lilliane Z.

Replicators	These are the Asgard Nemesis. The Asgard discovered them on a planet and took them on board their ships before they realised how much of a threat they were. The Replicators creators are apparently dead, wiped out by the Replicators (we learn more about this in the Season 6 Episode "Menace" where we discover they are the "toys" of a flawed android called Reese but they did indeed wipe out all of the inhabitants on the planet of their creation, including Reese's creator). They have an individual consciousness but work as a group and they all have a single purpose - self replication. They assimilate knowledge from computer systems and technology they gain access to. They use any materials at hand to replicate themselves and quickly become a plague with knowledge more advanced than the planet or people they are attacking for they learn from whatever they assimilate and build on it. There knowledge increases with each new technology they assimilate. They have over run one of the Asgards homeworld and many colonies. The Asgard have created a device to slow down there grouth so much that it almost stoped. Text by Gizmo

Residents	The remaining population of a race of technologically advanced humans who carelessly destroyed their world's environment and fled into the protection of virtual reality units to sustain themselves while their world repaired itself. The Residents were governed by the programmer, a man calling himself the Keeper, who controlled what information the Residents were able to reach. For many years the Keeper was out in the planets environment, now blooming and ideal, tending the massive gardens of beautiful vegetation that covered the surface. To prevent the Residents from seeing the deception, it is believed he would continually return to their environment, supposedly to give them status reports on the outside world and maintain their trust. The Residents believed the Keeper, who had protected them for so long, would never lie to them, and would tell them when the outside environment was suitable for re-colonization. With the arrival of SG-1, the Keeper allowed the residents to treat the team members as new "software," whose experiences would provide them with years of new entertainment. SG-1, having seen the planet thriving, did their best to communicate the true conditions of the outside to the Residents, but was continually separated from them when a chance proved to do so. Eventually, SG-1 had enough of the Keeper's lies and chased him down into the outer environment via a program exit "portal." The Residents followed, and re-immersed themselves in the environment, picking the flowers and causing a general disturbance amid the gardens. The Keeper believed his people were still too primitive to see the wrong of their previous ways, but with any luck, they might just prove him wrong. Text by Lilliane Z.

Serrakin	A peaceful alien race that, long ago, was successful in integrating with a human society after freeing them from Goa'uld oppression on the planet Hebridan. The Serrakin are quite alien in appearance, with dark-warm skin tones, muscular heads and blood-red eyes. The Serrakin are generally an intelligent and skilled people, and have helped to make Hebridan a thriving and technologically advanced culture. Text by Lilliane Z.

Shavadai	The "People of the Stepp" are believed to have descended from Mongols who settled in Persian China, specifically the Chagatai. They are a living exhibit of a lifestyle that has not been on Earth for 900 years. The old laws of the Shavadai declared women to be little more than property, and were forced to not speak unless spoken to, among other regulations, to prevent the evil of demons from reaching down upon them. Since the demons (most likely the Goa'uld) no longer reside amongst the people, leaders are beginning to see no further need in the practices. A primary leader among the non-Shavadai clans is Turghan who, during SG-1's time on the world, commanded twenty-two tribes through fear. Captain Samantha Carter defeated him in a fight to the death. After sparing his life, Turghan set Carter and his daughter Nya free from persecution. Before Carter and the rest of SG-1 left, she saw the results of her brief time on the world. The Shavadai clan, led by the enlightened Moughal, wiped away the stipulations for women in their culture, and became more like equals alongside their men. SG-1 took home a sample of a potential anesthesia given by the Shavadai for Earth scientists to study. Text by Lilliane Z.

Spirits	Overseers of the Salish Indians who once fought the Goa'uld from their world, PXY-887. The aliens then chose to take on the form of the spirits of Salish culture, coexisting with them in harmony in order to maintain defense from outsiders such as the Goa'uld. Since the destruction of the parasites from their world, star travel has been of no use to them, yet for thousands of years the "circle of standing water," or Stargate, remained in place. In a more natural form, the Spirits appear fairly humanoid with unusual foreheads and layers of "gills" on the front of their face. THey can take many different forms, from mythical Salish animals to members of Stargate Command units. They are capable of putting their arms together and making adversaries disappear to a place of nothingness, able to be returned at will with no recollection of where they were. After SG-1 showed the true face of their spirits to the Salish, the Spirits believed the S.G.C. needed to be destroyed, for they were unworthy of a continued existence. With the pleas of SG-1, they were convinced otherwise. Daniel Jackson himself opened the dialogue between the Salish and the true forms of the Spirits, who went back to their planet in peace, intent on burying the gate. Text by Lilliane Z.

Superjaffa / Kull Warrior	A creature genetically engineered by Anubis, likely intended to eventually replace the Jaffa as foot soldiers in the Goa'uld's army. These nearly unstoppable soldiers are given life and enhanced by Ancient technology, and kept alive by Goa'uld symbiotes -- "blank slates" created deliberately by the Goa'uld queen without their species' genetic knowledge, in order to make them subservient. The creatures are fused into their black armored suits, and are aided by a breathing filtration apparatus. The super-soldiers are enhanced with plasma-absorption armor, so that nearly all energy weapons directed against them have no effect. The first super-soldier encountered by Teal'c and Bra'tac died of pulmonary failure, and was taken back to the S.G.C. for study. Its entire cellular structure was less than three weeks old, meaning the average soldier will not live past this amount of time. The creatures are not alive when they are first grown, but are given life after reaching their mature states by the Ancients' healing device technology, a powerful device used by the Goa'uld millenia ago to develop the first sarcophagus. Anubis used the first Kull warriors to single-handedly take out lesser Goa'uld, including Ramius and Tilgath, in order to absorb their armies into his own and consolidate his forces against his rivals. By the time the super-soldier's presence was known, at least three minor Goa'uld had suffered devestating attacks. Their armor can withstand the strongest piercing weapons. It is made up of a substance similar to kevlar, and is vulnerable to a fine-tipped trinium dart. The Kull warriors' planet of origin is Tartarus, where Anubis has been growing thousands of the creatures and implanting them with symbiotes taken from a Goa'uld queen. Though Carter, Teal'c and Jacob destroyed the queen, it will likely not take the Goa'uld long to find a replacement and continue to build this army. The warriors can remain conscious for up to 10 minutes after being deprived of oxygen. Aside from their short lifespan, they have one known weakness: an energy weapon developed by Earth and the Tok'ra, based on the same healing technology that animates the creatures. The weapon (based on a modified T.E.R.) is only partially effective, usually requiring at least two shots to bring down one of the super-soliders. Text by Lilliane Z.

Survivors of P5C-363	The only survivors of P5C-363, a desolated, zero-atmosphere world (called "Tel'mak" by the Jaffa), preserved within a small orb until someone arrived to carry the object into an adequate environment for spreading. Detecting an incredible power source within the orb, SG-1 returned with the object to Earth. After analysis, the organisms within the orb realized it was about to be returned to its planet, and emanated strong spikes to embed itself in the concrete of the Embarkation Room, empaling Colonel O'Neill in one of the sharp tubules. Eventually being allowed to flourish with an adequate amount of energy, the organisms gained adequate strength to make a spokesperson out of O'Neill, who declared their intentions to move to an uninhabited world. With SG-1's help, they did just that. Text by Lilliane Z.

Tagreans	A previously Goa'uld-occupied civilization who have chosen to forget all but the industrial era (the last few hundred years) of their civilization to press forward into their new history a revived spirit. The Tagreans are typically a friendly people, but very cautious to outsiders, and are always on the lookout for anything that may resemble another invasion force. The Tagreans are lead by Ashwan, a charismatic chairman who is more than open to relations with the Tau'ri. Unfortunately, not all of the people respond to him as much as they do to Kalfas, the minister of defense who commands a batallion of Tagrean gun boats and ground-to-air defense devices. Kalfas was disturbed with the detonation of the Tau'ri vessel's hyperdrive engine in the orbit of their planet, and believed it was a hostile act. Fortunately, Ashwan's opinions won over, and Prometheus was allowed to touch down to commence repairs. Before all was said and done, an encounter with humans from Earth ended very nearly with hostility as several local Tagreans were aiding in the diggings in the Northern deserts to unearth the Stargate, which could potentially bring threats back to their planet. With the aid of Ashwan and his well-said words, the Tagreans sided with him and took Kalfas into custody, allowing the humans to return to Earth for supplies to fix their damaged starship. Text by Lilliane Z.

Taldorans	A race of humans making up several island states under the banner of the Taldur, a judicial body who lay down the strict law of the land. The people of the Taldur were once assaulted by the presence of the Destroyer of Worlds, Linea, who successfully created a sickness that destroyed half the population. She was, consequently, banished to the prison world Hadante. The people under the jurisdiction of the Taldur live under constant fear of disobedience, and its penalty. Text by Lilliane Z.

The Touched and Untouched	People from P3X-797 The Untouched, who live on the bright side, are humans, a Bronze Age people who seem almost like the Minoan civilization of Earth. The Touched, who live on the dark side, are heavy-browed primitives with limited skills and the brutal instincts of animals. The findings would only be of academic interest, but when the SG-1 team return, all but Teal'c and Dr. Daniel Jackson begin a startling transformation: they develop the heavy brows and act with the animal brutality of the Touched. Text by Lilliane Z.

Tok'ra	A movement started by a single Queen Goa'uld who was killed by the System Lords for oposing them, but not before she, literally, spawned the Tok'ra movement. Tok'ra means "against Ra", thay are the Goa'uld resistance who aim to destroy the System Lords and change the Goa'uld ways. They don't take hosts by force. Thay prefere to have willing hosts and a truly symbiotic relationship with them, where neither,human or Goa'uld, is in total control. Each benefits from the relationship. They share knowledge and feelings, and the human host have the benefit of the symbiots healing power, giving them long life. Tok'ra don't use sarcophagus as they know it destroys their conscience and their "soul". The Goa'uld hate them and they have to keep a low profile and work undercover as they are relatively few in number. They have an Alliance with Earth and offer help and advise when they can. Text by Gizmo Though the same species as the Goa'uld, the Tok'ra are a resistance movement who live in voluntary symbiosis with their human hosts -- and thus refuse to be called "Goa'uld" because of their philosophical differences. More than 2,000 years ago a Goa'uld queen, Egeria, realized what true evil the species was and made a decision to turn against the ways of Ra and the System Lords. All her offspring have genetically inherited the same ideals, and the Tok'ra (literally meaning "Against Ra") movement was born. The Tok'ra become easily offended if their symbiotic creatures are referred to as Goa'uld, believing that they are vastly different then their Goa'uld brethren. They have been mercilessly hunted by the System Lords since their formation. The Tok'ra are always on the run, changing the location of their base of operations every few years and operating multiple bases simultaneously. They live in subterranean tunnels they grow from special crystals. Once they arrive on a planet they immediately move underground with these crystals, forging corridors and rooms. This is how they have remained greatly undetected by the System Lords for thousands of years. Often Tok'ra operatives are sent on missions to infiltrate and subvert the plans of the System Lords. Many Tok'ra spies have been implanted in various Goa'uld groups across the galaxy, rarely being discovered. The Tok'ra are governed by the Tok'ra High Council. To keep from being entirely wiped out, there is more than one base of operations -- though one base is typically larger than the smaller cells, functioning essentially as a temporary Tok'ra homeworld. Since SG-1 met the group, they have moved to the desert planet Vorash, then to the forested world of Revanna. When the Goa'uld Zipacna (in the service of Anubis) discovered their location and attacked, the entire base was wiped out -- leaving only those Tok'ra in cell bases and away on missions as survivors. Though the group has sustained many casualties over the years, their determination to wipe the Goa'uld scurge from the face of the galaxy is stronger than ever. Their long-term goal has been to keep the System Lords feuding with one another, so that no one Goa'uld can rise to dominant power. With the development of a symbiote toxin, however, they have begun to act more agressively, hoping to one day exterminate the Goa'uld completely. Text by Jeff Spickler

Tollan	SG-1 rescued some people from a planet that had suffered a cataclysm, and helped relocate them to a new world. The Tollan are much more advanced than Earth, technologically, and are unwilling to shair it. In the past they gave another race technoloigy, and thay it to make war amoung them selves with that tecnology. That race destroyed them selfes in one day. The Tollan are willing to help Earth in other ways, and frequently do. They are in alliance with Earth. Text by Gizmo

Unas	The Unas are among the first hosts for the Goa'uld, they possess great strength and regenerative abilities (these are enhanced even further by the symbiote). The Unas evolved in the same primary waters as the Goa'uld. They have developed primitive defences to keep the Goa'uld away , a necklace of bones to try to ward of the Goa'uld infestation via the neck. The unas are spread across many worlds, have a fierce sense of honor and seem to live in tribes/clans. Even after the Goa'uld took humans as hosts they used Unas for a very long time untill they enslaved the jaffa. The SGC has come into contact with varius different Unas clans/tribes and have a strong relation with some (most notably the tribe under the leader ship of Cha'ka), even convincing an entier planets Unas population to mine naquida. First contact with the Unas occured when Cha'ka abducted Daniel Jackson to prove himself. To the suprise of both Danial and Cha'ka the pair formed a bond of friendship and Cha'ka killed the alpha male of his tribe/clan. Daniel learned how to speak 'Unas' with Cha'kas help and helped negotiate the mining treaty. Text by Gizmo and Josh

Ur-Asgard

Urgo	Urgo was an aggravating virtual life-form which drove the members of SG-1 demented. He was created by Togar. When Maj. Samantha Carter tried to eliminate him from their minds, he took on the form of a young Air Force officer in an attempt to distract her with charm and good looks. Even though he was irritating, he proved to be sentient and SG-1 helped save his life by pursuading his creator to take him into his own mind to learn from him. Text by Lilliane Z.

Volianer	Volianer are a race who became allies to the aschen but who eventually were destroyed by them. It's because of them and the future message that SG-1 received that revealed that aschen were a powerful danger. Text by iga nioleta

Vyusians	A civilization of humans who suffered a horrifying cataclysm they would later come to know as the Vorlix. The Destroyer of Worlds, Linea, arrived to Vyus via Stargate and began studying ways to reduce, or reverse, her own aging process. Using two test subjects, she released the substance dargol into their bodies. Unfortunately, the dargol spread into the entire population (including Linea), making the elderly revert to their twenties and thirties, and anyone previously younger to disappear entirely. Eventually SG-1 arrived on the scene to discover the situation, and discovered the local, Ke'ra, to have previously been the dreaded Linea. With her aid in genetics and a forgotton understanding of the substance, the Vyan people were able to return their original memories, mourning their reverted dead, but able to live out their lives once more. Ke'ra (Linea) chose to succumb to the original organism which allowed her to forget once more and leave the madwoman Linea behind forever. Text by Lilliane Z.

Water-beings	Non-corporeal life forms residing from a planet completely submerged by their form. They are able to take a liquid shape and transform from it to gas at will. In it's gaseous form, the life form can enter a human form and take control, similar to a symbiote. Colonel Maybourne assured SG-1 the species' intentions were not peaceful. Russian Stargate personnel took a sample of the liquid substance back to Russia, noting that it was generating an abnormal amount of energy in the form of heat. Apparently someone accessed the stored container and the fluid overtook his body, among others. The rest of the personnel shot each other, and in a last-ditch attempt to halt the mayham the facility was gassed. It was eventually discovered the lifeforms only wished to return to their realm, and re- deposited Major Carter, Dr. Jackson and Dr. Markov, who tried to explore their home, back to Earth. O'Neill suggested they had just exchanged hostages. Text by Lilliane Z.
