Race/Culture	Description
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.
