Break out of the frame | Updated February 17, 2004 | Get the frame back

December 14, 2003

• This is mainly a season-three update; I'm filling in the holes I left in that season.
• Updated Arcs (including adding an arc for Herak) and Continuity pages.
• Updated Planets page.
• Updated the Site Index.
• Broke the (huge) SG-1: Details page out into individual team-member pages: Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c, and Jonas.
• Broke SGC Personnel into two pages to keep it from getting too unwieldy: SGC Personnel (people only) and SG Units.
• Added new page: Miscellaneous Tau'ri -- basically, anyone on Earth who doesn't fit in the SGC or non-SGC (Area 51, NID, other military, government, or Russian) sections. This is yet another ongoing page, as I go back through the series and fill it in, so it's not yet complete. Some information was pulled off other pages and put here, where it fits better.
• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site, and added more cross-reference links.
• Added to Jack:
  • Career:
    • Was issued an emergency "special agent&quotcredential to give him authority to take over an ATF operation at Seth's compound. He took advantage, using the ATF personnel to help them search for the exit to Seth's escape tunnel. (Seth)
    • Risked court-martial to kidnap Merrin and show her some of what she was missing, so she could at least make an informed choice about undergoing her Averium. (Learning Curve)
  • Possessions/controlled:
    • Infested with three of Ma'chello's little Goa'uld-killing bugs, which effectively rendered him schizophrenic (complete with hallucinations) until they could be forced out. (Legacy)
  • Confirmed kills:
    • The Goa'uld-infested canon of the medieval village under Sokar's sway. (Demons)
  • Misc.:

    • Doesn't believe in ghosts. (Legacy)

    • Was suffering headaches bad enough to go to Fraiser for treatment at some point in early 1999. (Legacy)
• Added toDaniel:
  • Misc.:
    • Doesn't believe in ghosts. (Legacy)
    • Pictures on his desk of himself (apparently) on a camel near a pyramid (on Earth), and Sha're. (Seth)
    • Used Netscape, not IE, for a browser. (Seth)
    • Hallucinations:
      • Had hallucinations and delusions while infested with Ma'chello's little Goa'uld-killing bug, as well as elevated dopamine levels in the left hemisphere of his brain, all of which led Dr. MacKenzie (and Fraiser) to diagnose him as having had a psychotic break into hebephrenic schizophrenia (Legacy) :
        • Almost immediately after being infected in the Linvris chamber, he thought he felt something brush up against him. (Legacy)
        • Back on base, coming out of the shower, he heard someone calling his name. (Legacy)
        • Later that day/night, he heard voices again, and opened his office closet door, where they seemed to be coming from. His closet was filled with a stargate event horizin (without the stargate), and when he touched it, his hallucinations cranked up a notch: he felt a hand grab him around the neck, and saw the face of one of the dead Linvris, coming out of the wormhole and then yanking him back into it after him. (Legacy)
        • He theorized that although the Linvris hosts had died, the Goa'uld themselves had not, and were after him to turn him into a host. His only alternative theory was that he was having a nervous breakdown. (Legacy)
        • He heard a stargate wormhole engaging in storage armoire in the VIP quarters where he was being monitored, but when he opened the doors, didn't see a wormhole event horizon. (Legacy)
        • While starting to play cards with Jack in the VIP room (after handily beating him at chess), Daniel hallucinated a mature Goa'uld symbiote crawling up Jack's arm and around behind his neck, infesting him. He collapsed almost immediately afterward, and was admitted to a psych ward, medicated, and put in a padded room. (Legacy)
      • When Amaunet was ribboning him, just as Teal'c was about to shoot her, Daniel went through a multi-stage hallucination, likely triggered somehow by Sha're (who was trying to get a message to him about the harsesis child), that pulled him through the stages of grief so that when he came out of the hallucination and saw her truly die in front of him, he was sad but functional. (Forever in a Day)
        • First stage: He woke up in the infirmary, and had to be shown Sha're's dead body. Teal'c said he'd done it, and Daniel promptly started freezing him out. (Forever in a Day)
        • Second stage: He woke up in the infirmary again, remembering his last dream/hallucination, to find Sha're alive and well; SG-1 took her to the Tok'ra after Teal'c shot her, and removed Amaunet while healing Sha're. Sha're told him she only came to tell him about the boy, and then got sucked into the wall and vanished (more or less). (Forever in a Day)
        • Third stage: He woke up in the infirmary, apparently back in the first hallucination, with Sha're dead and her body still on base. This one continued, with him handing in his resignation. Robert Rothman was assigned to SG-1 in his place. Jack tried to talk him out of it, to no avail. Teal'c tried to find a way to ask Daniel's forgiveness; Daniel told him there was no such way. Sam, Jack, and several airmen helped him move his stuff out of his office and into his apartment. He planned to find a remote dig. (Forever in a Day)
        • Fourth stage: He woke up in his own bed, with Sha're next to him. She told him he had to continue his travels through the chaapa'ai, so he could find the boy. She also told him that to continue his travels, he must first forgive Teal'c, who did what was right.
        • Fifth stage: He woke up alone in his bed. At Sha're's funeral, he performed the ritual weighing of her heart against a feather, and watches as she's buried. Kasuf told him he still hasn't heard Sha're, and to go to her. Sha're was standing by a tent, and told him he must forgive Teal'c, and that together they must find the boy, because he is harsesis, containing all the secrets of the Goa'uld. Then she got sucked in by the desert and sky, and vanishes. (Forever in a Day)
        • Sixth stage: Daniel woke up in bed, alone (and wearing a t-shirt, instead of being bare-chested). He returned to the SGC to see Sam Meanwhile, Jack had a few pointed things to say to Hammond about Rothman. Teal'c welcomed Daniel back, clearly expecting no response, and Daniel told him he'd done the right thing. Daniel asked Sam if it's possible for a ribbon device to carry a mental message along with it; she eventually agreed that yes, it probably was. He returned home, to find Jack and Kasuf in his living room (Jack broke the lock to get in). Kasuf took him to task for quitting the SGC, saying that Sha're wanted him to continue to "travel among the gods" so he could find the boy. He sent Daniel into the bedroom to ask her himself. Daniel opened the bedroom door onto the planet where Amaunet had taken the Abydonians; Sha're beckoned him into Amaunet's tent, where he started to feel the ribboning again, and heard Sha're saying "come to me, Daniel".. (Forever in a Day)
        • Seventh stage: He woke up in his bed, in a t-shirt and sweats again, and went back to the base to talk to Teal'c. He asked about the offspring of two Goa'ulded hosts; Teal'c explained about harsesis children. Daniel went to see Hammond, just in time to hear Jack complaining about Rothman. Daniel agreed to rejoin SG-1, saying that there was something through the stargate that he still needed to be the one to find. Jack kicked Rothman off the team. SG-1 traveled through the gate to a world with pink trees, where there were no big signs of civilization, so Daniel was set to look for little signs -- itsy-bitsy artifacts and the like (to Jack's amusement). As the others moved off, Daniel pretty much instantly turned and activated the stargate, running through it alone. He came through on the world where Amaunet had taken the Abydonians, and walked into the tent, seeing a burn mark on the rug where Teal'c had killed Amaunet. Sha're appeared and told him he was the only one who could save the boy; Amaunet had sent him into hiding with her closest aide, and had taken the Abydonians as a show, so Heru'ur wouldn't know that the child had been her true goal. Daniel asked where she'd sent the boy and Sha're nearly got sucked back into the tent, but recovered to tell him Kheb. She made him promise to save the child, then kissed him. (Forever in a Day)
        • While Sha're was kissing him in the hallucination, Daniel flipped back out into reality, with barely a second gone by; the gun that had started falling from his fingers at the beginning left his hand and hit the floor. Teal'c shot Amaunet a moment later, and she fell. She died before Sha're, who had time to tell Daniel she loved him. Teal'c apologized sincerely; Daniel was able to tell him he'd done the right thing. (Forever in a Day)
• Added to Sam:
• Friends:
  • During the Gulf War, one of her friends was in a chopper that went down, and was knocked out. When she woke up, her memories and identity from before the crash were gone. (Past and Present)
• Career:
  • Built the first naquadah reactor on Earth, with Merrin's help. Testing it both got her in some trouble (she failed to ask permission first) and used up the last of the SGC's naquadah -- but it worked. (Learning Curve)
• Posessions/controlled:
  • Infested with four of Ma'chello's little Goa'uld-killing bugs, which should have effectively rendered her schizophrenic (complete with hallucinations). The protein marker left by Jolinar protected her; the bugs thought the job was already done. (Legay)
• Misc.:
  • Can't imagine not being military. (Point of View)
  • Has had two labs; not clear whether she moved from one to the other, or maintains both. The first lab seen was on Level 21 (Learning Curve); the second was on Level 19 (multiple eps, including The Menace and Proving Ground)
  • Keeps plants in her lab on Level 21. (Learning Curve)
  • Keeps sketch pads (relatively large) in her lab on Level 21. (Learning Curve)
  • Being blended with Jolinar:
    • Left a protein marker in her blood, which protected her from the effects of Ma'chello's Goa'uld-killing critters. (Legacy)
• Added to Teal'c:
  • Career:
    • As a young Jaffa in training, he was one of the victors in his "final challenge", and became one of Apophis's personal guard. (Rules of Engagement)
    • Spent years looking unsuccessfully for Tok'ra tunnels while in Apophis's service. (Tok'ra, part 1)
  • Severe emotional trauma:
    • When he was a child, his father, Cronus's First Prime, was ordered into an impossible battle, then killed as punishement for losing. Teal'c and his mother were banished, and fled to Chulak, where Teal'c vowed to one day become First Prime to Apophis, sworn enemy of Cronus. (Fair Game)
  • Near-deaths:
    • Nearly drowned in Demons; came close enough that everyone thought he was dead, and he was being prepped for burial.
  • Misc.:
    • Junior:
      • Junior nearly died from one of Ma'chello's Goa'uld-killing bugs. (Legacy)
    • Has read at least some of the Bible. (Demons)
    • Before seeing the Vyans, Teal'c had never witnessed a situation involving mass amnesia. (Past and Present)
• Added to Universe:
  • Protected Planets Treaty:
    • It's customary for the negotations surrounding the treaty to take place on the planet in question (when a new planet is added, etc.). (Fair Game)
  • History:
    • There are likely at least 2,000 "civilized&quotplanets -- or at least, there are 2,000 planets where Aris Boch's word is good, according to him. (Deadman Switch)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• The
• Timeline:
  • 1999: The SGC is emptied of weapons for the negotiations with the Goa'uld, including captured Goa'uld and Jaffa weapons. (Fair Game)
  • 1999: The Stargate program is temporarily shut down and all SG teams recalled pending a psych evaluation, after Daniel appears to suffer a psychotic break into schizophrenia that MacKenzie and Fraiser could only ascribe to stargate travel. (Legacy)
• Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
  • Levels:
    • Level 25
      • aka "A3 quarters"-- Dr. Samantha Carter (of the alternate reality) is housed in room 25A3-14. (It's not clear whether Hammond, when he said to put them in A3 quarters, was speaking in general of VIP rooms or in specific of VIP rooms on a given corridor.)
• Safety:
  • SG teams carry low-level protective gear ("level a") -- full hood and breathing mask, and gloves. (Legacy)
• Weapons and tactics:
  • Standard weaponry:
    • As of third season, they were carrying MP5s (not yet the P-90s). (Rules of Engagement)
• Earth's stargates:
  • Computer dialing program:
    • The SGC kept the specific dialing program Jack used to travel to the Asgard galaxy, and with enough power, could use it again. (Fifth Race, Point of View)
      • Sam downloaded it to a removable hard drive to help the people of an alternate reality contact the Asgard to ask for help with a Goa'uld invasion; they recalibrated the naquadah generator Jack had created to boost the power sufficiently. (Point of View)
• Technology:
  • Goa'uld:
    • The ashrak's weapon. (Fair Game)
    • Roshna: Not really technology; a drug, given to Aris Boch's people generations ago when it was discovered they couldn't be turned into hosts for the Goa'uld. It addicted the entire race, until they were literally dependent on it for their lives. Aris Boch gave Sam a vial of it, for research, in hopes of some day freeing his people. (Deadman Switch)
  • Other alien:
    • Quantum mirror: (...)
      • The mirror's controller isn't precise; as long as it's not turned off, the mirror remains connected to the same reality, but otherwise it goes to a random reality (although relatively close to the one it was on the last time it was active), and the correct one has to be found by "flipping channels", as it were, until finding a match.(Point of View)
      • Hammond wanted it destroyed after the mission to the alternate reality to help Dr. Carter and Kawalsky contact the Asgard; no indication of whether that happened or not. (Point of View)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • Castleman: (...)
    • Worked base security during the negotiations with the Goa'uld under Asgard auspices; Teal'c assisted after refusing to cater to any Goa'uld. (Fair Game)
  • Fraiser:
    • She was infested with three of Ma'chello's Goa'uld-killing critters, and rapidly became victim to schizophrenic symptoms. (Legacy)
    • Traveled offworld to Vyus to run tests on some of the people there. She confirmed Sam's diagnosis of mass amnesia, and got permission to bring a few volunteers back to the SGC (under quarantine conditions) to give them MRIs and run more extensive tests. (Past and Present)
    • Career:
      • Still a captain as of Legacy.
      • When MacKenzie initially diagnosed Daniel with schizophrenia (specifically hebephrenic schizophrenia), she backed him, based on Daniel's paranoid delusions and auditory/visual hallucinations. (Legacy)
  • Hammond:
    • Career:
      • Confirmed kill: The Jaffa in the tower on Hathor's planet. Hammond was sitting second seat in the death glider Teal'c was piloting, and fired the shot that blew the top of the tower (including the Jaffa manning it) completely away. (Into the Fire)
      • Wasn't happy about being ordered to incorporate the AR Kawalsky and Dr. Carter into his command; he believed that "some lines weren't meant to be crossed&quotand was uncomfortable with them staying in this reality. (Point of View)
  • MacKenzie:
    • Full colonel. A psychiatrist on staff with the SGC. Has been called in for various cases dealing with issues of mental health and delusional behavior. (Fire and Water, Legacy, Threshold ) Part of his work includes involves analyzing psychological data from SG units, specifically looking for common side effects to gate travel. One of the links he discovered was headaches; as of early 1999, 53% of SG field personnel had a history of them. When Daniel was infested with Ma'chello's Goa'uld-killing bug, MacKenzie looked at his symptoms and saw signs of a first-break psychotic episode, which may have been manifesting as full-blown hebephrenic schizophrenia (definition, symptoms: http://health.allrefer.com/health/schizophrenia-disorganized-hebephrenic-info.html); Fraiser backed him on the diagnosis based on Daniel's paranoid delusions and auditory/visual hallucinations. Despite this, he was willing to listen to Daniel when Daniel insisted that he knew what had happened to him; he made the phone call to the base that Daniel had requested to check on Teal'c, delayed Daniel's medication as requested, and asked Jack to come see Daniel, then released Daniel. (Legacy) (...)
  • Makepeace: (...)
    • While SG-3 was scouting a planet ending in -254, they found several Tok'ra, who told them where SG-1 were being held prisoner. Makepeace ran the news back to the SGC to begin preparations for a rescue, then led the assault team of several SG units (5, 6, and 11) that went into Hathor's base (while the rest of SG-3 covered the stargate). (Into the Fire)
  • Rothman:
    • A two-time decathalon champion in college. (Forever in a Day) (...)
  • Warner: (...)
    • Was less than helpful when Jack, Sam, and Janet were infested with Ma'chello's little bug things, believing it would take weeks to get Jolinar's protein marker out of Sam's blood to inject into the others, and never even considering simply separating out the rejectable bits of the blood and injecting everything else, including the marker. (Legacy)
• Added to SG Units:
  • General info:
    • Nearly half of the existing SG units were offworld when the SGC planned a rescue of SG-1, captured by Hathor. (Into the Fire)
    • As of 1999, 53% of SG field personnel had a history of headaches (severe enough to be reported and treated). (Legacy)
    • As of 1999, the various teams have been on hundreds of missions combined. (Demons)
      • (nb: Sam phrases this in such a way that it could be considered to be referring to just SG-1 -- "This is the first sign of Christianity we've encountered, sir, in hundreds of missions.", but as of four years later, SG-1 had only been to 133 planets, so it's far more likely to apply to the SGC as a whole.)
  • SG-1:
    • Captured, confined, imprisoned:
      • Into the Fire (Daniel captured by Trofsky's Jaffa)
      • Point of View (Daniel, Jack, and Teal'c captured by AR-Apophis and his Jaffa)
  • SG-3: (...)
    • SG-3 was captured by Hathor's Jaffa (led by Trofsky) during the less than successful rescue attempt. (Into the Fire).
    • The team went with SG-1 to rescue the Abydonians taken by Amaunet to cover her stealing of the harsesis child. (Forever in a Day)
  • SG-5: (...)
    • Captured by Hathor's Jaffa (led by Trofsky) during the less than successful rescue attempt. (Into the Fire)
  • SG-6: (...)
    • Either killed or captured by Hathor's Jaffa (led by Trofsky) during the less than successful rescue attempt. It's never made clear if they survive with the other teams or not, but they definitely didn't make it down into the Tok'ra tunnels with the others, and were out of radio contact. (Into the Fire).
  • SG-11: (...)
    • Captured by Hathor's Jaffa (led by Trofsky) during the less than successful rescue attempt. (Into the Fire)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Government:
    • The president:
      • The president and the Joint Chiefs were unwilling to risk further loss of life, and refused to approve the reinforcements Hammond had promised to SG-3 and the others trapped on Hathor's planet. (Into the Fire)
    • NASA:
      • NASA has been getting steadily more involved in helping with the SGC, starting at least with The Serpent's Lair (late 1997/early 1998) when the space shuttle Endeavor picked up the gliders carrying Jack, Sam, Teal'c, and Bra'tac. By Failsafe (2001), NASA is tracking SG-1's progress approaching the asteroid headed for Earth.
  • Military:
    • Pentagon/other military:
      • Gen. Jacob Carter: changed rank from 1-star (brigadier) general to 2-star (major) general (with apologies for the earlier screwup, and my thanks to C for pointing it out to me!)
      • Major Davis:
        • Wasn't sure the Tok'ra could be trusted when Makepeace brought back information about where SG-1 was being held (in Hathor's fake-SGC base), and wanted to know why the Tok'ra operative wasn't doing something about rescuing SG-1 (not seeming to get that passing along information is doing something). He also felt that using as many resources as possible to rescue one team was a waste, no matter who the team was. (He got a short but pointed dressing down from Hammond about that.) Once the rescue attempt went bad, with four more SG teams trapped on the planet, Davis passed along the orders from the president and the Joint Chiefs that no more reinforcements were to be sent -- and he agreed with the orders. (Into the Fire)
      • Area 51:
        • Technology:
          • The page-turning devices, infested with Ma'chello's Goa'uld-killing bioengineered thingies are stored at Area 51.
            • According to the database file (Legacy):
              • Archive# 101921 (nb, this may be off, it was hard to read -- it could be 101921)
              • Item# 19576
              • Sort Code# 22
              • Inv. Code# 124

              • Descr: Page-turning device for item #1577 (or possibly 1577, hard to read -- whichever, it means the tablet)
              • Material Unknown

              • Part (or Part) 2713259
              • Tablet 1591875

              
              

              • Log: Area 51
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • Culture:
    • Goa'uld often build escape tunnels into their palaces. (Seth)
  • Political structure:
    • The addendum to the Protected Planets Treaty regarding Earth means that no Goa'uld will attack Earth, but that any Tau'ri caught offworld will be shown no mercy, and will suffer greatly. (Fair Game)
    • The System Lords are capable of working as a unit when they feel it's necessary.
      • After Hathor was killed, the System Lords as a group turned their attention toward Earth, feeling that it had proven itself a credible threat. Combined, they were capable of launching an attack a hundred times more powerful than Earth had faced before. (Fair Game)
    • The Linvris:
      • (...)The symbiotes died first, and the hosts survived long enough for the symbiotes to decay and be absorbed into their bodies. The hosts probably died of thirst or starvation. (Legacy)
  • System Lords:
    • Apophis:
      • Gave up the name Na'onak and reclaimed his own name after killing Bynarr and conquering the rest of Netu (which seemed to consist of letting the denizens riot for a bit, and grabbing Bynarr's hand device). He revealed himself as Apophis when his men had captured Martouf, Jacob, and SG-1 in Bynarr's quarters, trying to escape. (Jolinar's Memories)
      • Confirmed kills:
        • Bynarr, when Apophis was Na'onak on Netu. (Jolinar's Memories)
    • Hathor:
      • Didn't realize that "Dr. Raully" was blended with a symbiote; she believed her to be Jaffa until Raully told her that she was a Tok'ra. (Into the Fire)
    • Heru'ur:
      • He went to Abydos in search of Amaunet, but his plans were foiled by SG-1 and then Apophis's untimely arrival. (Secrets)
      • At some point, he appears to have allied with Amaunet, giving her Horus guards to help her. He was unaware that she was betraying him, by going after the harsesis child unbeknownst to anyone. (Forever in a Day)
        • (This alliance was possibly as early as pre-Secrets, although there's no proof of that other than Heru'ur knowing where Apophis had stashed her, which he could have found out from a spy.)
    • Seth:
      • History: After Seth supposedly died in Egypt along with all his minions, a similar god showed up in Greece, called Typhon (similar back-stories, and a fictitious animal to represent him). In one of Typhon's last legends, he killed 300 followers, then vanished from Greece. He vanished from the historical record after that until the early 1800s, when a cult leader named Seth appeared in England, near Stonehenge. The cult ("the Cult of Setesh") was under constant attack from Christians. At the end, Seth's followers were found dead, having slit their own throats, but Seth's body was never found. That was the last record until the ATF started one for "Seth Fargough".
      • Seth Fargough's ATF file:
        • DOB: 1962 (?) [sic]
          Sex: M
          Height: 6'0"
          Weight: 190
          Marital Status: N/A
          Crim. Record: None
        • Little is known about Seth Fargough or when he founded The Children of Seth, but it is believed that he has former military connections on account of the high level of organization and discipline within the cult.
          Fargough is considered potentially violent: the compound is heavily armed and guarded, and members are known to undergo regular training in firearms use and hand-to-hand combat.
          Deprogrammed ex-members of the cult describe Seth as having magical powers and the ability to heal. One source said taht Seth can "make energy come from his hand". Such reports are attributed to the likely use of hallucinogenic drugs to enforce control within the cult membership.
          Harder to attribute is that sevearl independent reports have stated that thte cult leader can make his eyes glow. Expert medical testimony has found no explanation for this phenomenon.
          
          Continued surveillance, in combination with careful questining of former cult members, indicates that the Children of Seth is a potential flashpoint. All agents working on this case are reminded to exercise the greatest possible care in their investigations. All reports from deprogrammed members indicate that Seth Fargough is ruthless, demanding, and prone to fits of extreme temper. (Seth)
      • The "Children of Seth&quotcompound was located just north of Seattle, with about 50 followers all ready to die for Seth. Not written on the screen transcribed above, cult members also reportedly claimed that Seth murdered several of his followers in front of the others. The cult members were very heavily armed, with AK-47s, Uzis, .50-calibers, and zats, at least. The cult's chant was "Seth is life. Seth is happiness. Seth is almighty"-- which Seth apparently never tired of hearing. (Seth)
    • Sokar:
      • He would rather see his enemies suffer than die -- torturing them was more fun than killing them. (Serpent's Song, Jolinar's Memories)
      • He conquered the world Delmak and made it his home world. Eventually (millennia ago), he was banished there. (Serpent's Song, Jolinar's Memories)
        • Netu, the moon orbiting Delmak, was effectively Hell. Originally, it was an industrialized colony of the planet Delmak. When Sokar conquered Delmak and made it his home world, he transformed the moon to match the myths. According to the book of Am-Taut, Netu was a "how-to guide&quoton passing through the ancient Egyptian "other world&quotregions, many of which are described as dark places with pits of fire, home to monsters and the damned. Thanks to his efforts, Sokar's version lived up to the hype. He filled the atmosphere with barely-breathable toxins, then blasted holes in the moon's surface, releasing the molten core. The atmosphere around the moon was impenetrable by ship; only descent/escape pods could reach the surface. (Jolinar's Memories)
    • Yu:
      • participation in the Protected Planets Treaty negotiations:
        • According to the Asgard, Yu was the most likely to favor adding Earth to the Protected Planets Treaty, since his interests lay elsewhere. (Fair Game)
        • Yu was aware that Earth had two stargates, not just one, and insisted that both stargates be given up in the initial version of the treaty the Goa'uld were pushing. (Fair Game)
        • Readily believed that Nirrti was withholding technology from the System Lords, and that she'd been the one to try to kill Cronus and "defile&quottheir meeting with the Asgard (more evidence that Yu is a being of honor...), after Jack and Daniel dropped just a few accusations in her direction. (Fair Game)
        • Owed his life to Jack, who pulled him down when Nirrti picked up a rifle and started shooting. (Fair Game)
  • Minor Goa'uld:
    • Amaunet:
      • At some point, she allied with Heru'ur; she had Horus guards to protect her in Forever in a Day.
        • (This alliance was possibly as early as pre-Secrets, although there's no proof of that other than Heru'ur knowing where Apophis had stashed her, which he could have found out from a spy. If it was that early, though, she was actively betraying Apophis during his lifetime, rather than just finding another lord after his death and trip to Sokar. She was certainly allied with him by Forever in a Day.)
      • She took many Abydonians to cover the fact that what she was really after was the harsesis child -- she didn't want Heru'ur to know about it (Sha're at the end said, "Amaunet took the Abydonians as a show, so that Heru'ur would not know her true goal."). (Forever in a Day)
        • So not only was she likely allied with Heru'ur, she was apparently betraying him (even as, possibly, she had used him to betray Apophis, depending on when their alliance began). 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.
      • As soon as she had the child, she sent him to safety on Kheb. (Forever in a Day, Maternal Instinct)
    • Bynarr X:
      • Lord of Netu; one of Sokar's underlords. His First Prime was Na'onak -- Apophis in disguise. Bynarr had let himself be seduced by Jolinar years earlier, and had unwittingly helped her escape. He lost an eye in punishment for it. He served as Sokar's eyes and ears on Netu, ensuring that there were no uprisings and reporting to Sokar regularly, ringing to Delmak to report on the sufferings of "the damned"; Sokar enjoyed hearing about that. When Bynarr thought Jolinar had returned, he hoped to make her death slow and painful. He was disappointed to discover that Sam no longer carried Jolinar, but was willing to make do with her death instead. He was about to ribbon her when "Na'onak&quotshot him from behind with a staff weapon, killing him. (Jolinar's Memories)
  • Biology:
    • Goa'uld are immune to biowarfare -- poisons, disease. (Legacy)
    • Symbiotes being absorbed by the host after death:
      • The Linvris: The symbiotes died first, and the hosts survived long enough for the symbiotes to decay and be absorbed into their bodies. The hosts probably died of thirst or starvation. (Legacy)
  • Technology:
    • General tech:
      • Roshna: Not really technology; a drug, given to Aris Boch's people generations ago when it was discovered they couldn't be turned into hosts for the Goa'uld. It addicted the entire race, until they were literally dependent on it for their lives. (Deadman Switch)
    • Vessels:
      • Tel'tac:
        • Cargo-bay door is unlocked by pressing the correct five-symbol combination, on a plate with six symbols on it. (Deadman Switch)
        • Equipped with escape pods (at least four, possibly more on some ships). Each pod has heat-dampening shields and anti-gravity wave generators to help slow the descent. They're launched at high velocity. (Jolinar's Memories)
        • Equipped with transport rings. (Jolinar's Memories)
  • Language:
    • delmak:
      • crystal ("There should be three delmaks.... Crystals. There should be three crystals.") (Deadman Switch)
    • "Gonach!"
      • No direct translation; Cronus says this as he and the others storm out of the first few minutes of negotiations to make Earth a protected planet, staring straight at Jack and in an unpleasant tone. Nirrti uses it later, to Yu, in an equally unpleasant tone, when he makes it clear that he believes that she's the one who tried to kill Cronus and disrupt the negotiations with the Asgard and Tau'ri. Clearly an insult of some sort. (Fair Game)
    • heelksha:
      • gods of the underworld (Broca Divide)
    • hol mel:
      • no direct translation, but probably something like "hold your fire"-- Teal'c shouts it twice to an AR-Jaffa who's aiming a zat at AR-Carter, and the Jaffa holds his fire long enough for her to escape. (Point of View)
    • "Jama! Chel'ets!"
      • No direct translation. What Trofsky says to the three Jaffa accompanying him during the fight in the corridors surrounding the fake SGC. The four of them turn and leave. (Into the Fire)
    • "Kel, mak, Goa'uld! Kree tak!"
      • No direct translation, but probably something along the lines of "who are you, and why should I take orders from you?"-- it's what Trofsky says to Jack, whom he believes has been goa'ulded, when Jack comes across the plain yelling "Kree!&quotat them. (Into the Fire)
    • kel nok:
      • no direct translation, but probably a greeting of some sort; Teal'c said it to AR-Teal'c the moment they met. (Point of View)
    • kel shak:
      • could mean something (very loosely) like "[will] do [my/your] bidding"; when Apophis tells his Jaffa that they'll wait till Klorel wakes up to start attacking Earth, the Jaffa replies with "Kel shak, Apophis", which could be something like "as you wish" (Within the Serpent's Grasp)
      • possible alternative meaning could be "what is this&quotor "who are you"; AR-Teal'c says it when he sees "our&quotTeal'c, disguised as him, holding a staff weapon on him. (Point of View)
    • "Koracca aseemu!"
      • No direct translation; it's Cronus's reply to Nirrti's initial comment at the negotiation table. He says it in a soft but tight voice, with one hand almost patting the air; the impression is almost "don't make waves yet". (Fair Game)
    • "Kornak kree! Keena arik Asgard."
      • No direct translation; it's Yu's response to Nirrti's and Cronus's byplay at the start of the negotiations, and is accompanied by a fist thumping down on the table. It's definitely a scolding. (Fair Game)
    • "Kree no tel, Reenlokia!":
      • No direct translation, but possibly something along the lines of "look, something's coming, from [the] Reenlokia [sector]!" -- a Jaffa says it to AR-Apophis and points at a radar-type screen showing a blip coming in fast, just before the Asgard show up and start beaming out Apophis and various Jaffa. (Point of View)
    • "Lok shak, tal makka kree!"
      • No translation; what Hathor says to "Dr. Raully&quotwhen the fake SGC comes under attack. (Into the Fire)
    • Mel nok tee:
      • No direct translation, but possibly something along the lines of "go check it out"-- AR-Apophis says it to a Jaffa who's just come in and warned him something is coming at Earth fast. (Point of View)
    • "Onak arik kree."
      • No direct translation; it's Nirrti's first comment as the negotations with the Asgard start up. (Fair Game)
    • "Onak holka shaka!"
      • No direct translation; it's the first thing Teal'c says upon seeing Cronus and being called shol'va. (Fair Game)
    • tel kol:
      • No direct translation, but possibly something along the lines of "we have a problem"-- a Jaffa says it to AR-Apophis (after greeting him as "my lord&quotand then goes on to point at a screen possibly showing an incoming Asgard ship, immediately before the Asgard start beaming AR-Apophis and Jaffa out. (Point of View)
    • "Treena arik croonaka shol'va."
      • No direct translation; it's Cronus's initial reply to Teal'c's untranslated comment when they meet for the first time. (Fair Game)
    • trey lan tonik:
      • no direct translation; AR-Apophis says it to one of his Jaffa while questioning AR-Hammond, Jack, Daniel, and AR-Kawalsky, and the Jaffa promptly "cocks&quota zat and holds it to Hammond's head. (Point of View)
      • see "trey lon tonik" -- possibly, this means something like a generic "take care of this"
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Culture:
    • Tok'ra don't use the sarcophagus, fearing it will "drain the good from [their] hearts". (Tok'ra, part 1)
    • They kept track of the Goa'uld -- who's doing what, where. At least at one point, the Tok'ra council was taking a Goa'uld "census&quotof sorts -- where the System Lords have positioned themselves, what domains they rule, who serves under them. (Seth)
    • Bases:
      • The Tok'ra can grow tunnels quickly, but only grow them as they're needed, adding corridors and chambers only when necessary. (Tok'ra, part 1)
  • Known Tok'ra:
    • Jacob: (...)
      • He was hurt when his son Mark wouldn't come to visit him on his deathbed, but was too proud to go to him and mend fences. Selmak was willing to say so, but Jacob refused to admit it, claiming that he didn't consider Mark his son anymore. Selmak requested a mission to go find Seth on Earth, specifically to push Jacob into seeing Mark; Jacob was stilll having none of it until they actually found Seth, and found a father whose son had been in the compound for nine months, and who was desperate for even a glimpse of him. After Seth was taken care of, Jacob and Sam went to San Diego to see Mark, and Jacob made the first move by hugging his son (who hugged back after a minute). (Seth)
      • On a mission to gather information about a planned widespread attack against the System Lords by Sokar, he was captured and held on Netu -- Hell -- where he was brutally tortured, very nearly to death. He spent four days in captivity before Martouf and SG-1 arrived to rescue him. (Jolinar's Memories)
    • Korra:
      • (...) He stole one of Sokar's cargo ships and fled to PJ6-877 -- the closest planet with a stargate that wasn't under Goa'uld control. It took him several weeks to get there. Aris Boch was waiting for him when he got there. He was badly injured when Jack, Teal'c, and Daniel captured him, believing him to be a Goa'uld named Kel'tar -- Aris Boch had set them up, knowing they'd never go after a Tok'ra. Korra was insistent that he would not be returned to Sokar; there were other Tok'ra operatives in Sokar's ranks, and he didn't want to give Sokar a chance to extract the information about them from him. When Aris recaptured them all, he tried to take poison rather than be handed over; Aris shot him to stop him. Teal'c traded his life for the unconscious Korra's, convincing Aris to take him to Sokar instead, and Jack, Daniel, and Sam got Korra out. (Deadman Switch)
    • Martouf/Lantash: (...)
      • The last night he spent with Jolinar before she was captured by Sokar, they walked along the ridge of Noctana, with two moons out. They didn't speak of her leaving, and stayed up all night together. (Jolinar's Memories)
      • After Jolinar escaped from Netu, he implored her to tell him, or anyone, how she'd escaped, but she refused to speak of it. He believed (correctly) that it was because she'd had to do things that would distress him. (Jolinar's Memories)
      • Went to the SGC to bring Sam news of her father's capture by Sokar. He believed they could attempt a rescue if Sam could find the memories involving Jolinar's escape from Netu, using a memory recall device. He wouldn't allow more than SG-1 to go on the mission, to cut down the chances of discovery. While Selmak's recovery was a high priority, the Tok'ra had something more important in mind. They believed that Sokar was about to launch an attack against the System Lords. Martouf was adamant about finding out whatever information Selmak had gathered about the attack. (Jolinar's Memories)
        • If Sam proved unable to remember how Jolinar escaped, Martouf intended to go down to Netu alone, rather than risking anyone on SG-1. He planned to try to get information about the attack and relay it up to SG-1 aboard the teltac, for them to bring back to the Tok'ra. (This didn't go over very big with Jack.) (Jolinar's Memories)
    • "Dr. Raully":
      • (...)She was masquerading as a Jaffa; Hathor had no clue she was actually blended with a symbiote until Raully told her she was Tok'ra. (...) (Into the Fire)
    • Rosha/Jolinar of Malkshur: (...)
      • The last night she spent with Martouf before being captured by Sokar, they walked along the ridge of Noctana, with two moons out. They didn't speak of her leaving, and stayed up all night together. (Jolinar's Memories)
      • After being captured by Sokar, she was badly tortured, including by torture stick. (Jolinar's Memories)
      • She was the only person ever known to have escaped from Netu. After, she was found badly injured and unconscious, floating adrift in a teltac in space. Her recovery was long and painful. She refused to speak of her escape. (Jolinar's Memories)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • Old Jaffa saying: "They do not make them as they once did"(Into the Fire)
    • Warrior culture:
      • The Rules of Engagement:
        • Rule 2, Article 4: unauthorized forces shall be shot on sight. (Rules of Engagement)
        • Article 7, Section 3 (no indication of which rule this comes from): once the battle has commenced, it cannot be stopped. (Rules of Engagement)
        • Once first blood has been shed, there can be no entry or exit from the quadrant where the games are being held before the final challenge commences (from the one example given, at first light on the next day). (Rules of Engagement)
        • In the final challenge, real weapons are given out, and the two teams who have been practicing together engage in actual battle, until one team emerges victorious. The Goa'uld want only the strong to survive. (Rules of Engagement)
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Bra'tac:
      • His house on Chulak was big, airy, and pretty well-appointed, made of stone. (Into the Fire)
    • Ronac X: Teal'c's father, and First Prime to Cronus. Cronus sent him into an unwinnable battle, then when Ronac failed to win it, killed him by removing his symbiote. Teal'c and his mother were banished and had to flee to Chulak. (Fair Game, Crossroads)
    • Delnor: Rak'nor's father. Teal'c, while still First Prime of Apophis, had spared Delnor's life, gaining lifelong loyalty in return (although Teal'c never knew that). Delnor had believed in Teal'c enough to burn off Rak'nor's serpent tattoo on the assumption that soon all Jaffa would be free of their masters. (Serpent's Venom)
    • Gar'toc: One of the Jaffa masters who were training the camp full of human boys meant to infiltrate the SGC one day. Before he left to help Apophis in his final battles, he showed Captains Rogers and Nelson a cave, where the live weapons for their final challenge were stored. No idea if he survived or not. (Rules of Engagement)
• Added to Misc. Aliens:
  • Aris Boch's race

    • General info

      • Planet: unknown. (Deadman Switch)
      • Race name unknown. (Deadman Switch)
      • Their blood appears to be a yellow-green, at least on exposure to oxygen. (Aris Boch's skin color was consistent with someone of northern/central European descent, which is odd with that color blood.) (Deadman Switch)
      • The race's physical makeup rejected blending with Goa'uld, making them one of the few races that Goa'uld can't use for hosts. (Deadman Switch)
        • Because of it, the Goa'uld wiped out most of the race generations ago. The adults were killed; the children were enslaved. (Deadman Switch)
          • The Goa'uld addicted the survivors to a substance called "roshna" -- a blue liquid that was added to their water. After many generations, the remnants of the race can't live without it. It keeps them subservient. (Deadman Switch)
      • The sole word of their language known is "barokna"-- which could mean "open&quotor could be a password, in which case it could mean anything at all. Aris Boch had it set as the password to open the door on his cargo ship. (Deadman Switch)

      Known natives:

      • Aris Boch
        • Considered himself the greatest (bounty) hunter in the galaxy (because he was still alive). (Deadman Switch)
        • He tracked Goa'uld (and Tok'ra) by tracking the naquadah in their weapons. (Deadman Switch)
        • He claimed that his wife had been killed by the Goa'uld; his son was a slave in one of Sokar's naquadah mines -- he'd never been married, and had no son. (Deadman Switch)
        • Very cheerfully arrogant and self-involved; also snarky. (Deadman Switch)
        • Wore a slightly shiny jumpsuit-style outfit, which included what appeared to be modified Jaffa-armor shoulder guards. (Deadman Switch)
        • Wore a nearly full-face visor that distorted his voice and provided various view-finding capabilities. (Deadman Switch)
        • His weapons included both energy and toxin weapons. (Deadman Switch)
        • Either he himself (and thus his race) or his suit was immune to the effects of a zat blast; at best, it ticked. (Deadman Switch)
        • He was using a Goa'uld cargo transport (stolen from Korra, who in turn had stolen it from Sokar), modified to have a voice-activated lock ("barokna"), and with a self-destruct. (Deadman Switch)
        • He inadvertantly captured SG-1 while hunting down a Tok'ra (Korra) for Sokar. (Deadman Switch)
          • He caught them in a shield trap -- a force field vaguely similar to a Goa'uld shield, but glowing red (instead of blue) on contact, and as impervious to slower weapons as energy weapons or bullets. (Deadman Switch)
          • He was prepared to sell them to the System Lords. He said that Teal'c was worth the most, since the System Lords would want to make an example of him. Carter had the memories of the Tok'ra Jolinar, and Jack is a "pain in the mikta". Daniel would be worth a day's rations (he was lying; the Goa'uld wanted Daniel dead as much as anyone, for figuring out the stargate). (Deadman Switch)
          • To get them to help at least a little bit, he claimed to be hunting a Goa'uld named Kel'tar, who was supposedly plotting against Sokar, and told the team that if they helped him, he'd let them go. (Deadman Switch)
        • He believed there was no difference between Goa'uld and Tok'ra, and that defeating the Goa'uld was an insurmountable task, and therefore not even worth attempting. (Deadman Switch)
          • Listening to Sam talk about the differences, and watching Korra attempt suicide rather than be put in a position where he'd be forced to betray other Tok'ra, started to change his mind. He allowed Teal'c to trade places with Korra, supposedly to hand over to Sokar (whose ship was nearly in orbit by that point). He had a conversation with Teal'c, finding out that Teal'c believed that the humans and Tok'ra could overthrow the Goa'uld -- and even if not, he'd rather serve with those who were willing to die trying. That broke down the last of Aris's walls; he and Teal'c staged an explosion in the ascending cargo ship so it would look as though they'd died, and fled in escape pods. (Deadman Switch)
          • With Sokar (hopefully) thinking him dead, Aris decided to find other Goa'uld to trade with to get his roshna. (Deadman Switch)
        • He handed over a vial of roshna to Sam, just before they left, in hopes that maybe someone could cure his people's addiction to it, and free them of the Goa'uld. (Deadman Switch)
  • Unas:
    • A Goa'ulded Unas in service to Sokar survived three staff blasts to the chest, one at point-blank range. (Demons)
• Added to Misc. Humans:
  • Abydonians:
    • Known Abydonians:
      • Sha're:
        • While Daniel was living on Abydos, Sha're saw him writing in his journal with a ballpoint pen, and thought it was magic. (Forever in a Day)
  • Ma'chello's people : (...)
    • Ma'chello:
      • Everything from his lab was carted back to Area 51 and cataloged. (Legacy)
    • Technology:
      • Goa'uld-killing bugs:
        • Implanted in a non-Goa'ulded person, the bugs create side effects that mimic the symptoms of schizophrenia. (Legacy) -- Ma'chello left a page-turning device laden with ten little bugs in a meeting chamber used by the Linvris as a sort of land mine, just waiting for the Linvris to arrive and be trapped and killed by them. (Legacy)
        • The PTD stays inactive until someone uses it on a table to "turn a page". (Legacy)
        • The programmed voice (technological or organic recording) was a "smart&quotrecording of some sort, able to adjust itself to circumstances.
          • When the bug left Daniel and entered Teal'c, Ma'chello's voice said "You have delivered me to the vile Goa'uld so that I may destroy him."(Legacy)
          • When her bugs left Sam, she heard Ma'chello's voice say that her Goa'uld captor is dead. (Legacy)
        • When their job is complete, they wiggle out the ear canal and die. (Legacy)
  • Medieval Christians

    • General info

      • (I know, this is a terrible name for them. But it's the best I can do, since they never gave us a clue during the episode.)
      • Planet: unknown. Sam believed its coordinates to be years away from any Goa'uld homeworlds by ship, even fast ships. (Demons)
      • The villagers' ancestors were probably taken from England roughly a thousand years ago -- definitely pre-Chaucer (who lived in the late 1300s). (Demons)
      • They call the stargate the Circle of Darkness, because only demons ever come through it. They were all forbidden to so much as look upon it. (Demons)
      • Sokar, playing Satan for these people, sent one of his underlings (a goa'ulded Unas) to the village regularly for "sacrifices"-- people whom he would use as hosts (presumably; that's Sam's guess). If the village failed to provide sufficient sacrifices, the Unas would take even more in retribution. (Demons)
      • "Possessed"(sick) people who weren't given over to sacrifice had to be cleansed through trepanning -- drilling a hole in the head to let the evil spirits escape, thus saving the person's soul (although not necessarily doing them any favors physically, in the hands of an unskilled trepanner). (Demons)
      • The village was ruled by a "canon", its spiritual leader. For generations, the village canon had a Goa'uld weapon -- a ring that could draw (and direct) lightning from the sky (or possibly a huge zat blast, from a geosynchronous platform in orbit). The ring was handed down from one canon to the next. Each canon had the responsibility of judging whose souls were already possessed by evil, making them suitable for sacrifice. (Demons)
      • There was at least some literacy; one older man was reading a book at one point, and there was at least one other book lying about. (Demons)

      Known Medieval Christians:

      • Canon: Actual name unkown. (Demons)
        • He was well-fed and well-dressed, surrounded by sycophants and followers (and young women kissing his hand in greeting and serving him wine), and also had possession of the village canon's traditional ring. (Demons)
        • He was in total control of the village, because he controlled who got chosen for sacrifice; no one wanted to cross him. (Demons)
        • He seemed to be convinced that SG-1 were inherently evil, or at least unclean, for having come through the Circle of Darkness; he called down lightning upon them, knocking them out, and tossed them in a holding cell. (Demons)
        • He thought Teal'c's tattoo was a mark of the devil, and put him to the tests of witchcraft: testing the mark for pain sensitivity (it had none, confirming for the canon that it was a mark of the devil); then, after that first proof, putting him to the water test by weighting him down and tossing him in a lake. (Demons)
        • When Teal'c (apparently) drowned, the canon declared his soul to be clean, and offered to give him a Christian burial. He told the others they were free to go, so long as they stayed in chains until they got back to the Circle of Darkness and returned whence they came, and never came back. When Teal'c revived from his apparent death, the canon changed his mind, insisting that this was proof they were all evil. (Demons)
        • He chose the four of them to be the sacrifices, and added Mary (presumably to punish Simon for daring to question/doubt him, regarding SG-1). (Demons)
        • When Simon approached him again, clearly ready to ask more questions/favors about the release of the sacrifices, the canon flat-out told him that he'd be unable to "defend&quothim when the next sacrifice was called if he didn't knock it off (although not in those exact words). (Demons)
        • After Simon stole Teal'c's staff weapon and went to help the others, the canon followed, eventually catching up and demanding to know what Simon thought he was doing -- just as the Unas Simon had injured caught up to him. (Demons)
        • Simon was knocked unconscious, and the canon was infested with the Goa'uld, who left the dying Unas body behind. Sam detected the Goa'uld's presence and told Jack, who shot the canon and killed him. (Demons)
      • Mary: In Simon's care; possibly his wife, but it's never made clear). (Demons)
        • She was ill with chicken pox, which marked her as being possessed by evil spirits and thus suitable for sacrifice to Sokar. (Demons)
        • Her parents had been sacrificed a year earlier; they asked Simon to take care of her. (Demons)
        • Simon preferred to risk trepanning, to save her from the sacrifice. She was scared, but understood. Just as he was about to, Daniel showed up and offered to take both him and Mary back to Earth, where there were no demons. Before they could leave, Teal'c revived from his apparent death, and the canon went back to calling them all evil. (Demons)
        • He chose SG-1 and Mary to be the five sacrifices demanded by the Unas. (Demons)
        • She willingly helped with their escape when Jack spotted an opportunity. (Demons)
        • After everything was taken care of, she and Simon promised to bury the gate as soon as SG-1 left, and stop the sacrifices. (Demons)
      • Simon: A very brave man, and very devoted to a woman named Mary (possibly his wife, but it's never made clear). (Demons)
        • He thought SG-1 were demons come to kill her, and dared face them down holding up a cross, begging them not to hurt her. He had prayed his whole life that God would deliver the village from the evil of the sacrifices to Satan (Sokar), and when SG-1 explained to him that the Unas was a creature, not a demon, and that they'd killed one before, he decided they were the answer to those prayers. He stuck by them during Teal'c's "trial", although there wasn't much he could do to help. (Demons)
        • Afterward, he asked dispensation from the canon for the other three to be freed (relatively -- they were still in chains, but not in a cage), and again asked them to help. If they didn't, his other choice was to go through with trepanning for Mary, in an attempt to cleanse her soul before the canon chose who would be sacrificed; he believed it would be better for her to die in the village as a result than at the hands of the devil himself. He agreed not to (just in the nick of time) when Daniel showed up and offered to take both him and Mary back to Earth, where there were no demons. Before they could leave, Teal'c revived, causing the canon to declare all of SG-1 to be evil after all, and to be chosen as sacrifices, along with Mary. (Demons)
        • After SG-1 and Mary were chosen to be sacrifices after all, Simon was basically told flat-out by the canon that he'd be the next chosen for sacrifice if he kept questioning the canon. He didn't ask any questions -- he found Teal'c's staff weapon, and went looking for the others to rescue them.
        • He shot the Unas three times (once at point-blank range), but it wasn't enough to kill him, and the Unas heaved him aside. Simon ran, and then tried to protect the canon, who had caught up and was yelling at him for trying to help SG-1. (Demons)
        • Simon was knocked unconscious, and the canon was infested with the Goa'uld, who left the Unas body to die. (Demons)
        • After Jack shot the Goa'ulded canon, Simon recited the prayer for suffering souls over him. He and Mary promised to bury the gate as soon as SG-1 left, and stop the sacrifices. (Demons)
  • Orbanians:

    • General info

      • Planet: Orban. SGC designation unknown.
      • Their stargate is painted a reddish color, unlike any other. (Learning Curve)
      • The floor surrounding the DHD was at one point covered in a mosaic that included images of Goa'uld symbiotes. (Learning Curve)
      • Originally seemed to be at least connected to, if not descended from, Aztecs. (Learning Curve)
        • Daniel found at least one artifact with the image of Chalchiutlicue, the Aztec goddess of water. (Learning Curve)
        • After further study/discovery, Daniel theorized that the Orbanians were in fact descended from the residents of Teotihuacan, a Mesoamerican city that flourished for nearly a thousand years as a religious and economic center before suffering an upheaval around 750 AD. The people of Teotihuacan pre-dated the Aztec (and the Mayans). (Learning Curve)
          • Their buildings included very modern-looking high-rises and a replica of the Teotihuacan Pyramid of the Sun. (Learning Curve)
      • The greeting gesture used is to hold both arms up, bent at the elbow and palms facing inward, then draw the arms together across the body until the hands touch, and pull the hands in to touch the forehead as the Orbanian bows slightly. (Learning Curve)
      • Urrone: A particular class of children, chosen at birth to be the means through which the population acquires new knowledge. Each child is injected with millions of nanites -- called nanoprocessors on Orban -- in infancy, before the neural pathways are set. Each child is set on a particular course of study, to become an expert in that subject. They require little sleep, and apparently do nothing but study. At puberty (roughly -- it's not clear whether it's puberty per se, or the child's 12th birthday), the child reaches the "time of Averium&quotand his or her nanites are harvested and distributed to the rest of the population, who then have all the knowledge the child acquired. The Urrone child is simple-minded (and pre-verbal) after that, since the nanites effectively took the place of their own synapses, which thus never developed. (Learning Curve)
        • The nanites used in Urrone children were developed in an Orbanian laboratory 49 years earlier. (Learning Curve)
          • Urrone nanites have no effect on the aging process, and don't leave the brain unless they malfunction, in which case they disconnect from the brain and are absorbed into the bloodstream, where they're inactive and harmless. They basically just act as extra synapses, to rapidly accelerate the learning process. (Learning Curve)
        • When he was first dealing with them, Daniel believed the Urrone to be simple apprentices. (Learning Curve)
        • Urrone children wear white clothes -- pants with legs that come just below the knee and a long-sleeved tunic-y shirt, both pretty form-fitting. The tunics are thicker than the pants, and are patterned (white on white), not plain. The Urrone also wear a cloth headwrap with a trailing end that goes down their backs, and white ankle-high shoes. (Learning Curve)
        • Averium: The ceremony in which an Urrone's nanites are removed and distributed -- one to each adult and non-Urrone child, to be added to the nanites already in their synaptic networks. This leaves the children pre-verbal (with basically no hope of gaining knowledge, so long after their language-acquisition window in infancy) and fairly simple-minded. The children are housed in small rooms and cared for thereafter. (Learning Curve)
          • Daniel's first assumption on hearing the term "averium" was that it was a sort of graduation for the apprentices. (Learning Curve)
        • Past-Urrone children (and presumably adults, although they're never mentioned) were considered incapable of learning (probably correctly, given the likely total lack of native neural pathways thanks to the millions of nanites given to them at birth). Their brains cannot accept new nanites, and the Orbanians didn't understand the concept of teaching without nanites. After Merrin's nanites, with their knowledge of Tauri teaching methods (or at least some of them) were distributed, the Orbanians decided to try teaching the past Urrone children "the old-fashioned way". (Learning Curve)
        • Kalan insisted that the "children" were well cared for (again, no mention if that includes the ones now in their 20s, 30s, and 40s).
      • Thanks largely to the Urrone, the Orbanians were advancing incredibly quickly, achieving in a few decades what it took humans more than a century to accomplish. They haven't managed to achieve Goa'uld-level technology, but they're heading in that direction. (Learning Curve)
        • The Urrone aren't the only researchers; other researchers use the nanites given to them by the Urrone children to advance their own research. Those looking into naquadah reactors had been waiting 10 years for the knowledge of Merrin's studies; without her Averium, they would have had to wait another 12 years. (Learning Curve)
      • The Orbanians, through Kalan, struck a deal to exchange information with the SGC. Orban would supply a naquadah reactor for Sam to study on Earth, while the SGC would send Teal'c to explain everything he knew about the Goa'uld. (Learning Curve)
        • Both Kalan and Merrin (the Urrone expert in naquadah reactors) believed that simply handing over the reactor would be sufficient to fulfill their part of the bargain, and they intended to return home immediately after delivering it. Both were startled that Sam would require teaching. Merrin stayed to do the teaching. (Learning Curve)

      Known Orbanians:

      • Kalan: An adult, and father of Tomin, an Urrone child. (Learning Curve)
        • He was the main liaison with SG-1 and the SGC, helping to set up the deal whereby the SGC gained access to an Orbanian naquadah reactors and Orban in turned learned about the Goa'uld. He accompanied Merrin to the SGC to deliver the reactor. He was startled to find out that Sam would need help understanding it; he couldn't help her, since he had no knowledge of the technology. (Learning Curve)
        • He assigned Tomin to work with Teal'c, finding out about the Goa'uld; later, when Daniel came up with his theory that Orban was connected with the ancient Mesoamerican civilization of Teotihuacan, Kalan asked him to explain that to Tomin, as well. (Learning Curve)
        • When Tomin went to him asking to undergo his Averium six months early, because he was concerned about what he'd learned of the Goa'uld, Kalan agreed. (Learning Curve)
          • He seemed to have no problem accepting that Tomin was a part of him after the Averium (in the form of the nanite from Tomin that had been injected into him), and not in the simple-minded boy left behind. (Learning Curve)
        • He was angry and appalled that the SGC could "demand&quotthat the Orbanians not go through with Merrin's Averium (even though it was a suggestion, not a demand), not understanding why they would have a problem with it or why they would think it was appropriate to interfere with local custom. He was also outraged at the thought that the Orbanians were harming their children; in his eyes, the Urrone children weren't harmed because they were well cared for after their Averiums. In his own words, it was the happiest day of his life when Tomin was chosen to be Urrone. He demanded Merrin's immediate return as soon as Daniel and Teal'c began questioning whether she should be allowed to go through with her Averium. (Learning Curve)
        • After Merrin's Averium, he and all the others had a better understanding of what SG-1 and the SGC had meant by teaching (and playing), and he decided to begin teaching Tomin "the old-fashioned way". He also learned to draw stick-figures. (Learning Curve)
      • Merrin: One of the Urrone. (Learning Curve)
        • A girl, 11 years old (by her own statement, although it's not certain how long an Orban year is), who was an expert in naquadah reactors; she had spent 10 years studying them. (Learning Curve)
        • She believed it was a great honor to be chosen to be one of the Urrone, and to undergo the Averium; she had no fear of losing her sense of self, she was just pleased that her people would have her knowledge. (Learning Curve)
        • She accompanied Kalan to the SGC to deliver a reactor to fulfill Orban's part of the deal between the two worlds. (Learning Curve)
        • She was surprised that Sam would need help understanding the naquadah reactor, although she promptly offered to teach her about it as soon as she understood what Sam needed. (Learning Curve)
        • She had to learn how to draw, for the first time, to help explain things. Her initial drawings were precise representations of things she'd seen; after Jack took her outside and plunked her into an elementary-school art class, and grumped at her a bit, she learned to be more relaxed about it. (Learning Curve)
        • Merrin was how the SGC discovered the use on nanites in Urrone children, when her bloodwork showed traces of silicon, trinium, and an unknown element, which turned out to be nanites. She also showed high neuropeptide levels, which Fraiser investigated and learned was the result of millions of nanites infesting Merrin's brain. (Learning Curve)
        • When the SGC (more specifically Jack, who tried hard to convince her) offered her amnesty on Earth so she could escape the Averium and the loss of self, she refused, insisting that it was an honor to be chosen. (Learning Curve)
        • She returned after spending an afternoon on the surface with Jack, learning to play and paint a bit. Jack sent her off with a big 96-color box of Crayolas. (Learning Curve)
        • After her Averium, she effectively regressed to infancy, like the other past Urrone. She held on to her crayons, though, and was happily scribbling on the wall when SG-1 came to see what was going on, and Jack went over to hang out and draw on the wall with her. (Learning Curve)
      • Solen: One of the Urrone.
        • A boy, roughly 11 years old, who took Tomin's place as the one learning about the Goa'uld, and defenses agasint them, from Teal'c, after Tomin sped up his Averium. (Learning Curve)
      • Tomin: One of the Urrone; also Kalan's son, around 9 or 10.
        • He was assigned to learn about the Goa'uld from Teal'c, and rapidly formed a bond with him. He began by studying Teal'c's physical characteristics, and was suitably impressed. The more he learned, the more concerned he became about the Goa'uld threat. Eventually he asked his father to advance his Averium by six months, so that he could share his nanites -- and knowledge -- with everyone, so they could begin preparing defenses. (Learning Curve)
      • Zaren: One of the Urrone.
        • A girl, about 11 years old, who was helping Daniel clear the walls of the Orbanian stargate chamber for study; she was doing a good job, earning praise from Daniel. She reached the "time of her Averium&quotwhile she was working with Daniel, and (Learning Curve)

      Technology:

      • Nanoprocessors: The Orbanians developed nanites in a lab some 49 years before Merrin traveled to the SGC (making it roughly 1950 by our calendar, depending on how long an Orbanian year is), and began using them as a teaching method. Certain children (Urrone) are chosen in infancy and injected with millions of nanoprocessors, which take over forming the neural network. Nanoprocessors don't leave the brain unless they malfunction, in which case they disconnect from the brain and are absorbed into the bloodstream, where they're inactive and harmless. They basically just act as extra synapses, to rapidly accelerate the learning process. After an Urrone child reaches the time of his or her Averium, the nanoprocessors are harvested and distributed to the rest of the population. (Learning Curve)
      • Naquadah reactors: No real idea of what they do with them, but the Orbanians have developed very small, powerful naquadah reactors, about the size of a breadbox. Sam used the one Merrin brought to the SGC as the base model from which she developed the SGC's reactors. (Learning Curve)
  • Vyans:

    • General info

      • Planet: Vyus. SGC designation unknown.
      • The entire population believed that they'd suffered mass amnesia during something they called the Vorlix, which had occurred roughly a year before SG-1 came through the stargate. None of them could remember anything from before that time. They'd also "lost&quottheir elderss and children, although they knew that once at least the elderly had been around, from photographs in every home. (There were no pictures of children.) (Past and Present)
      • In actuality, they were the victims of an experiment gone horribly awry, as everyone's ages regressed substantially -- effectively killing anyone below a certain age, and leaving the elderly as adults in their prime. (Past and Present)
        • Linea had taken a pesticide, Dargol (with environmental impacts similar to DDT, and likewise banned as a result), and started to play around with it. She discovered a link to longevity; it slowed the aging process somewhat. Part of the reason it had been banned 20 years earlier, though, was because it was having an adverse affect on the Vyans' fertility. She was trying to enhance Dargol's life-extending properties to create a sort of Fountain of Youth. According to her last journal entry, she was about to conduct a controlled lab experiment using an intensely concentrated form of Dargol on two Vyan elders -- a male and a female. There was some sort of lab accident during the experiment; her two lab subjects died, and a Dargol gas cloud was released into the atmosphere, regressing everyone else's ages by some 40-50 years and blocking their memories of their former lives. (Past and Present)
      • Fraiser, brought in to run tests on the Vyans, confirmed that there was mass amnesia, and got permission to bring some volunteers for more extensive testing back to the SGC under quarantine conditions (which seemed to consist of giving them relative freedom on the base, but not letting them up to the surface). (Past and Present)
        • From their MRIs, Fraiser learned that her three volunteers (Ke'ra, Orner, and Layale) all had identical blockages in their temporal lobes and hippocampuses, consisting of some sort of residue between the synapses. This was effectively blocking their memories, which still existed. (Past and Present)
      • While Fraiser worked on a cure, Sam figured out what had happened to cause the Vorlix, and that Linea was likely still alive, and possibly was the woman now known as Ke'ra. Fraiser tested the DNA and confirmed it -- Ke'ra's DNA was a perfect match to the sample she'd taken from Linea the year before. (Past and Present)
        • Daniel was outraged that everyone else seemed willing to condemn her, or at least confine her, for things she did when she was literally a different person, and went so far as to bring Teal'c's past into the fray. When no one backed down, he went to cobble up a reason to give Ke'ra for why she had to be confined to quarters. (Past and Present)
      • Air travel existed, in the form of three-tiered dirigibles. (Past and Present)
      • Days after the Vorlix, the bodies of an elder woman and man were found in a building destroyed by explosion. They were the only elderly people ever found, and it was assumed (wrongly, as it happened) that they were Dr. Zirvis and Linea. (Past and Present)
      • Close contact (i.e., romantic/sexual relationships) had become nearly taboo, for fear of regaining their memories and being with the wrong person (it's never made explicit, but I would assume that incest was high on the "wrong person&quotworry list). (Past and Present)
      • Industry and agriculture had fallen apart since the Vorlix, with no one knowing what to do (or who was supposed to be doing it). (Past and Present)
      • The women dressed in long skirts, the men in trousers, mostly in muted earth-tone colors. (Past and Present)

      Known Vyans:

      • Ke'ra: She was the Minister of Health, Science, and Restructuring in the Vyus transitional government. She sensed that before the Vorlix she helped others, and was acting as a doctor when SG-1 met her, helping a woman survive a food allergy attack. (Past and Present)
        • She had to deal carefully with Orner, who believed they had been married before and wanted to renew the relationship; she made sure to praise his actions but didn't encourage anything. (Past and Present)
        • Since the Vorlix, she had spent every free waking hour in the research library they'd compiled, looking for any useful information (which she dispensed to others). (Past and Present)
        • After reading Dr. Zirvis's notes about a stranger who came through the stargate (which Zirvis didn't understand), she tried to activate the gate in the warehouse, but without success. (Past and Present)
        • After telling SG-1 that Linea was the stranger's name, she went back to researching, with Daniel. The two of them started flirting almost immediately, really hitting it off. (Past and Present)
        • When Fraiser said she hoped for volunteers to go to Earth for more extensive tests, Ke'ra instantly agreed to go. (Past and Present)
        • When Fraiser explained that there's a residue in their synapses that could be physically blocking access to their memories, Ke'ra was eager to begin looking for a medicine to dissolve the residue; Fraiser had to sidetrack her by suggesting Daniel take them all on a tour of the base. At the end of the tour, Daniel brought Ke'ra to her quarters (room 25R3-06, guest quarters), where they took the flirting at least one step further. (Past and Present)
        • After Sam figured out what had happened to cause the Vorlix and pointed out that Ke'ra was a logical candidate to be Linea, her DNA was tested -- proving it. (Past and Present)
        • Daniel told her she'd be confined to quarters, without explaining why. She was confused and unhappy about the guards that were suddenly assigned to her, wondering what she'd done wrong. (Past and Present)
        • Fraiser and Sam were unable to make much progress without her help, so brought her back in (under relatively discreet guard, and with Daniel nearby). Even without Linea's memories and self-training, Ke'ra was brilliant at biochemistry, outstripping everyone. (Past and Present)
        • She volunteered to be the guinea pig for the first possible cure, but no one would let her, saying it was because they needed her around in case it failed, and they had to start work on a new one. (Past and Present)
        • When the test on Orner failed, she wanted to start work immediately on a second version. (Past and Present)
        • Finally, the guards and people's changed attitudes made her realize that they believed her to be Linea. When Daniel confirmed it, she realized that they intended her to never take the antidote, so she would stay Ke'ra. She couldn't believe she would ever harm anyone. (Past and Present)
        • She came up with a valid second antidote to try, and when Fraiser and Sam wouldn't let her stay to continue working on it after the initial prelim, she stole a slide with a smear of it before she was escorted back to her quarters. She was convinced they were wrong about her being Linea, and took the antidote -- and became Linea again. (Past and Present)
        • She maintained her cover long enough to see Orner through the test, and to tease him about being married to her, then returned to her quarters, but gave herself away when she told Daniel that "all debts have now been paid"(which is what she wrote as her parting message in Prisoners). He got back there just in time to catch her about to smash two vials, which contained substances that would create a poisonous gas. She only intended to harm herself, but told Daniel that despite how much she cared about him, a part of her would gladly watch him die. Daniel talked her into burying her memory again, so she could become Ke'ra once more, with a fresh start. (Past and Present)
        • She helped them synthesize a small amount of the enhanced Dargol, and reintroduce it into her bloodstream. She lost her entire memory; Daniel told her her name was Ke'ra, that she'd been a visitor there, and that she was going home. (Past and Present)
      • Layale: (post-Vorlix name unknown)
        • One of the two (with Orner) who first discovered SG-1 in the warehouse where the Vyan stargate was housed. She "woke&quotafter the Vorlix to find herself running down the street, beside Orner. The two of them had developed a squabbly-old-married-couple dynamic, and were sharing quarters. She was crankily possessive of him, and grumpy about his conviction that he and Ke'ra had been married before the Vorlix. She participated in Fraiser's tests along with Orner and Ke'ra, but wasn't part of the testing of the potential antidotes that Sam, Fraiser, and Ke'ra developed, other than to be there and watch Orner. She was very pleased when he regained his memory and told her they'd been married for 43 years. (Past and Present)
      • Linea: She came to Vyus through the stargate and began talking with their researchers, and set herself up as a sort of apothecary. She discovered a link between Dargol (a pesticide, similar to DDT, especially in its environmental effects) and longevity; it had the effect of slowing the aging process. She wanted to use that to create a sort of Fountain of Youth, but there was some sort of lab accident during her last experiments; her two lab subjects died, and a Dargol gas cloud was released into the atmosphere, regressing everyone else's ages by some 40-50 years and blocking their memories of their former lives. Linea was as much a victim as everyone else, and when she "woke&quotfrom the Vorlix, she was known as Ke'ra. (Past and Present) (See Linea for more details about her.)
      • Orner: Real name was Nodaal. (Past and Present)
        • One of the two (with Layale) who first discovered SG-1 in the warehouse where the Vyan stargate was housed. (Past and Present)
        • He "woke&quotafter the Vorlix to find himself running down the street, Layale beside him. The two of them had developed a squabbly-old-married-couple dynamic, and were sharing quarters. (Past and Present)
        • Meanwhile, he believed that he and Ke'ra had been married, and should renew their relationship before they regained their memories. (Past and Present)
        • He volunteered to be one of the people to go to Earth for further tests, but was nearly too scared to step through the stargate. (Past and Present)
        • He volunteered to test the first possible cure that Ke'ra, Janet, and Sam came up with; it was unsuccessful, and sent him into convulsions and cardiac arrest, but brief CPR was enough to revive him. (Past and Present)
        • He had convulsions again during the second test, but much more mild, and without the cardiac arrest. His memories returned in full almost immediately, including the knowledge that his real name was Nodaal, and he was married to Layale. (Past and Present)
      • Dr. Zirvis: A researcher, from before the Vorlix. Ke'ra found his papers and learned a lot from them, including a bit about the stargate. He knew Linea before the Vorlis; he wrote, "Our visitor claims to have come to Vyus from beyond the stars themselves, though I still cannot comprehend the science behind this Stargate device she claims to have used.&quotTo all appearances, he died in the Vorlix.

      • Rules of Engagement: "big fella"
    • Jack's names for other people:
      • Rothman: "Bruce Jenner"(Forever in a Day -- in Daniel's mind)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Props:
    • Other:
      • Seth: Most of the screens Daniel was reading about Seth were wonderfully detailed, but there was one error; the page about the "cult of Setesh&quotsays it was an early 1800s cult, and that's what Daniel's dialogue has it as, but the closeup illustration of the mass suicide clearly lists the date as "circa 1722&quotin Wiltshire, England. At some point, either the script changed from "early 18th century&quotto "early 1800s", or someone in the props department heard it wrong. (The year is readable even without zooming the DVD image.)
      • In Forever in a Day, the medical attendant in the morgue is wearing a nametag that says Nimiziki. Nimiziki was the doctor that Kawalsky killed in Enemy Within.
  • Individual episodes:
    • Into the Fire / Out of Mind:
      • The stargate should not light up one chevron at a time on an incoming wormhole. Grrrr.
      • Why could Hathor not tell the difference between a Jaffa and a Tok'ra?
      • Even assuming that all a symbiote can sense is another symbiote's presence, and not its state of being (carried or blended/in control), why did Hathor think a Jaffa would have the level of technical expertise that "Dr. Raully&quotclearly had? Most other evidence points to using lower-ranking Goa'uld for technical matters, with Jaffa as basically a working/soldier class, kept technologically ignorant for the most part.
      • Internal continuity glitch: When the fake wall slid sideways to reveal the huge generators in Hathor's fake SGC, the walkway that was revealed didn't have a break in it to allow for the wall itself -- and the wall was presented as floor-to-ceiling.
    • Seth:
      • Sam says that Seth will sense that Jacob and Teal'c are Goa'ulds if they get within 50 feet of him -- Teal'c's not a Goa'uld (and Selmak wouldn't be happy to be called one under any circumstances).
    • Fair Game:
      • Continuity glitches:
        • Daniel refers back to Hanka as "P8X-987"; during Singularity, it's "PX8-987"
        • Teal'c's parting comment to Cronus in the hallway is "kelmar tokeem"-- which according to Daniel's direct translation in Family means "revenge by the wearer of horns", i.e., a cuckold. It's a completely bizarre thing to say to your father's killer as you stomp off.
    • Legacy:
      • In Into the Fire, Dr. Raully told Jack that the Goa'uld inside him would die before it could blend with him, but said nothing about it leaving his body (quite the opposite; Jack had to fight the blending, she said "the Goa'uld within will die&quotfrom the cold of the deepfreeze -- nothing about it leaving him). But here, Sam said that Jack has no protein marker because the Goa'uld left before it had a chance to dissolve inside him.
      • How could Dr. Warner be so completely clueless about separating out bits of blood to get something safe to inject?
      • Continuity glitch: Ma'chello's planet was P3W-924 in Holiday; here, it's referred to as P3C-599.
    • Learning Curve:
      • What did the Orbanians do with all the post-Averium Urrone? We saw a few kids, but this has been going on for nearly 50 years, so there should be lots of near-vegetable, pre-verbal, grown Urrone around needing pretty much constant care.
      • How does the knowledge get passed to the next generation? The nanites can't be genetically coded, if they're all being passed from one individual to all individuals, so they can't be spread genetically -- so how do the Orbanians keep the knowledge from being lost? Do they harvest the nanites from dead/dying people to inject into infants?
        • If so, how do those infant brains develop on their own?
        • If they wait for the infants to be old enough to have developed language and such on their own, and to have formed their own neural pathways, why are the Orbanians so flabbergasted at the idea of having to learn things in order to understand them?
        • If they don't transfer nanites from dying people into children, do they simply expect each generation of Urrone to re-learn the same thing as the generation before, to keep the knowledge level consistent?
      • How did the Orbanians lose all knowledge of the concept of teaching? Especially since each Urrone child studies a particular subject, and therefore has to get the knowledge from somewhere. Also, it seems unlikely that no one remembers 50 years ago from their own lifetime, and pre-nanites, presumably Orbanians learned the way all humans learn -- by being taught (by whatever means).
      • Why did researchers have to wait for knowledge from Urrone before continuing their research? Why couldn't they do some studying on their own in the meantime?
    • Point of View:
      • AR-Hammond implies that he sent AR-Carter and AR-Kawalsky through the quantum mirror for help (when they return, he says he should have authorized it sooner), but their actions upon reaching "our" safe world equally clearly implied that they considered themselves to have escaped, and they didn't ask for any help -- just if they could stay. It wasn't until AR-Carter began suffering from entropic cascade failure that Daniel suggested that "our&quotSGC should try to make the AR world safe again, so she could return there, and only at that point did everyone start working toward that end.
      • Continuity glitch: In There But for the Grace of God / Politics, Daniel found the quantum mirror on P3R-233; here, it's referred to as P3X-233.
    • Rules of Engagement:
      • The internal timeline seems screwy; Sam says SG-11 went MIA eight months earlier (which would make it roughly late 1998), but Kyle says that the boys were brought together "five cycles ago"(which Sam said was roughly when they blew up Apophis's ships, or very late 1997), and that SG-11 was captured near the beginning of their time in training. There's nearly a year's difference there.
    • Past and Present:
      • The regression in age nicely explains why there were no elderly, and why the existing children no longer existed (shudder), but why were there no children created from not-quite-so-elderly people? A 50-year-old who regressed 40 years should be a ten-year-old.
      • Ke'ra says she's given up hope of finding Dr. Zirvis, then later says that days after the Vorlix, they found what she believes to have been his dead body.
      • What about the Vyans' infertility? They have a population newly returned to their prime years, but if they're all basically infertile, they're just going to face the same problem they had before, all over again.
    • Changeling:
      • (tretonin -- what if Teal'c gets captured?)
        • This pretty much gets answered in Orpheus, when Bra'tac is a captive; his tretonin, carefully rationed, lasts him about three months, but once it's gone, he starts to become steadily weaker. Without rescue, he would have died.

November 15, 2003

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Evolution, part 1
• Updated Planets page through Evolution, part 1
• Updated the Site Index through Evolution, part 1
• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site.
• Added to Daniel:
  • Languages:
    • Known: (...) Spanish (confirmed in Evolution, part 1; presumed prior to that, from his mention of being on a dig in the Yucatan in Brief Candle)
• Added to SGC:
  • Civilians connected to the program:
    • Nick Ballard:
      • One of his early obsessions (pre-crystal skull obsession, presumably) was finding the Fountain of Youth. He claimed to have found evidence that the source of the fountain's power was a piece of alien technology used by Mayan tribes around 900 BC; he traced its origins back to Chac, the Mayan rain god. He believed it had to be in South America, and spent decades looking for it. He wrote his notes about it in an obscure Goa'uld dialect; no idea how or when he learned it. (Evolution, part 1)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • SG-1:
      • Captured, confined, imprisoned:
        • Evolution, part 1 (Daniel is kidnapped by a group of unnamed men in southern Honduras; Jack, Sam, and Teal'c captured and held by Ramius.)
    • SG-3: (...)
      • Still under Reynolds's command, was one of the units that went with SG-1 and Bra'tac to meet up with rebel Jaffa forces on Ramius's planet, in hopes of catching one of the new genetically engineered warriors in Anubis's service. SG-3's orders were to secure and hold the stargate, while SGs 1 and 12 worked with the Jaffa to lay the ambush. They were overrun by Jaffa, and surrendered along with everyone else. They were taken to Ramius's pyramid and put in a group holding cell with everyone. (Evolution, part 1)
    • SG-12:
      • One of the units that went with SG-1 and Bra'tac to meet up with rebel Jaffa forces on Ramius's planet, in hopes of catching one of the new genetically engineered warriors ("supersoldiers") in Anubis's service. They were stationed in ambush along the warrior's path, with SG-1 and the Jaffa, while SG-3 held the gate. Some were injured when the warrior walked right through their weapons fire and returned fire on them. When Ramius's Jaffa started showing up everywhere, they surrendered along with everyone else. They were taken to Ramius's pyramid and put in a group holding cell with everyone. (Evolution, part 1)
  • SG personnel:
    • Dr. Lee:
      • (...) Went with Daniel to southern Honduras in search of the Fountain of Youth -- aka an Ancient healing device believed to be hidden in one of the temples of the Goa'uld Telchak. He found the temple by dint of literally falling into it. As he and Daniel moved through the tight corridors, he showed some signs of (very mild) claustrophobia. After they found the device, he and Daniel nearly drowned when they triggered a defense mechanism that rapidly flooded the temple; as soon as they escaped, they were kidnapped by an unnamed group of men and held captive (presumably for ransom). (Evolution, part 1)
    • Reynolds:
      • (...) Still in command of SG-3 (and with his hair buzzed really short), went with SG-1, SG-12, and Bra'tac to meet up with rebel Jaffa forces on Ramius's planet, in hopes of catching one of the new genetically engineered warriors ("supersoldiers") in Anubis's service. SG-3's assignment was to guard the gate, but eventually they were overrun with Jaffa. He got badly wounded in the battle, and after they all surrendered (to keep from being slaughtered), he spent his time in the holding cell very weak, being tended to by Sam (as well as she could under the circumstances, which wasn't very). (Evolution, part 1)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Military:
    • Pentagon:
      • General Jacob Carter, USAF: 1-star (brigadier) general (medals). Sam's father. He served with General Hammond during the Cold War (Secrets). He's a widower with two children -- Sam and her brother Mark -- and two grandchildren (Mark's son and daughter) (Cold Lazarus). His wife died when Sam was a teenager (my rough guess is somewhere in the early 1980s); Jacob was supposed to pick her up but was late, so she took a cab instead and died in a car accident (The Devil You Know). He was alienated from Mark for years after that (Seth). In 1998 he was diagnosed with lymphoma and told he had only a few months to live. He pulled some strings at NASA to bump Sam ahead of the waiting list of astronaut applicants, expecting it would make her happy, and was confused, disappointed, and hurt/angry when she turned him down. He told her about the cancer and walked away. (Secrets) A short while later, his cancer got much worse, but he refused to let Hammond recall Sam to be with him -- even as he tried to cajole info out of him about what Sam was really doing. (Tok'ra, part 1) Hammond refused both requests, pulling Sam out of the first mission to the Tok'ra so that she could say goodbye to her father. She came up with the idea of Jacob being a host, to save his life (and to provide a basis for further relations with the Tok'ra). Jacob was doubtful, but went through the stargate and met up with Saroosh and Selmak, and finally agreed. He blended with Selmak and went to live with the Tok'ra, as one of them. (Tok'ra, part 2) He's functioned as an actual general on Earth only once since then, during the search for Seth. (Seth)(see Jacob/Selmak for further details.)
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • Culture:
    • Use sophisticated brainwashing techniques. (Evolution, part 1)
  • System Lords:
    • Anubis:
      • Long ago, before he was banished or attempted to ascend, Anubis went to war with Telchak in an effort to gain control of the original Ancient healing device from which Telchak had developed the sarcophagus. He won the war, but never found the device. It's possible that after he ascended, he eventually began work on constructing one of his own (since at that point he had access to the knowledge), and used it to create genetically engineered host bodies to be a new class of warrior, a "supersoldier". Once he completed the new warrior class, he began using it against vulnerable minor Goa'uld, defeating them and absorbing their troops and resources to build up his own power base against the System Lords (Bra'tac knew of at least five such attacks by the time the SGC ran into one of these warriors). (Evolution, part 1)
      • Technology:
        • Genetically engineered warriors (aka "superwarriors"):
          • Engineered/created by Anubis, working off a homemade version of an Ancient healing device. (Evolution, part 1)
          • Probably intended to be a new form of footsoldier, possibly in reaction to the (spreading) Jaffa rebellion. (Evolution, part 1)
          • Technically, it's a Goa'uld, with host and symbiote, but in practice, it's nothing more than a soldier. (Evolution, part 1)
            • Both symbiote and host have below-normal brainwave patterns. The symbiote can help as much as usual with strength and healing, but isn't a Goa'uld in terms of personality. (Evolution, part 1)
          • The host is created entirely in the lab, not modified from living humans. (Evolution, part 1)
            • The host is designed to be a perfect athlete -- large heart and lungs, to support the musculature. (Evolution, part 1)
            • The host isn't alive for the entire process. While it matures, it's nonliving cellular material. It's given life after it reaches its mature state. (Evolution, part 1)
          • Anubis paid no attention paid to longevity. The symbiote is supposed to handle that end, but the body is so out of whack that even a symbiote can't do much for long. (Evolution, part 1)
            • The warrior that died while attacking Teal'c and Bra'tac had an organic cellular structure less than three weeks old when it had its fatal heart attack. (Evolution, part 1)
          • Body armor
            • Resists the SGC's most powerful armor-piercing weapons, and absorbs energy weapons fire. (Evolution, part 1)
            • Blocks MRI scans. (Evolution, part 1)
            • Made up of a closeknit fiber, like Kevlar. (Evolution, part 1)
              • Thanks to its construction, it can be penetrated by small, sharp objects, like a fine-tipped trinium dart. (Evolution, part 1)
          • The warrior targeted for ambush by Bra'tac and the SGC was impervious to a Tok'ra forcefield, two tranquilizer darts, staff weapons, automatic rifles, claymores, and C-4. Pretty much all at the same time. It was completely focused on its task, and ignored everyone ambushing it once they stopped shooting at it, moving along to Ramius's palace instead. (Evolution, part 1)
            • After it had been through a couple of fights (in one day), Sam and Teal'c went after it with a cargo ship and ringed it up to a transport bay, then voided the bay of life support. It took the warrior 10 minutes to pass out. (Evolution, part 1)
  • Minor Goa'uld:
  • Ramius X: Barely escaped with his life after a battle against a genetically engineered warrior sent by Anubis, while on a planet to try to forge an alliance with Tilgath. His First Prime was fatally wounded during the attack, and was left behind, but survived long enough to tell Teal'c and Bra'tac what had happened. Ramius's survival made him a more important target for Anubis and his warriors. His Jaffa captured SG-1, SG-3, SG-12, and Bra'tac a short distance from his pyramid, where they had tried to ambush one of the genetically engineered warriors; he was none too impressed with Jack or Jack's explanation of what they were doing there. He died shortly afterward, when the "supersoldier&quotarrived and took out his guards, then him. (He died sprawled across a ring platform, possibly trying to escape.) (Evolution, part 1)
  • Telchak: (nb: He may have been a System Lord, but it's never said, so I'm putting him here.) Thousands of years ago, he discovered an Ancient device whose primary purpose was healing. Its effects on human hosts were devastating, and he spent years researching and experimenting to make it more usable for the Goa'uld. He finally developed the first sarcophagus as a result. After he created the sarcophagus, Anubis (still only a Goa'uld, before he attempted to ascend) went to battle with him to gain possession of the original device. Anubis won (but it's not said whether Telchak was killed, banished, or what), but never found the device. The device was said to be hidden in one of Telchak's temples on Earth, where he was known to the Mayans as Chac, the rain god. The device eventually became the basis of the legend of the Fountain of Youth, thanks to its effects on humans when kept at a safe distance, and used only for limited exposure. (Evolution, part 1)
  • Tilgath X: Died in battle against one of Anubis's genetically engineered warriors ("supersoldiers") while trying to forge an alliance with Ramius. Wore fairly garish gold armor. (Evolution, part 1)
  • Technology:
    • Sarcophagus: (...) Designed to boost health or longevity; heal or revive someone terminally injured. It can't animate non-living cellular matter. Leaves behind a unique energy signature in the cells of whoever uses it. The first sarcophagus was the result of a lot of research and experimentation by a Goa'uld named Telchak, who (thousands of years ago) had found an Ancient healing device that was so powerful that it's effects on human hosts proved devastating. He scaled it back into a sarcophagus, basically. (Evolution, part 1)
  • Language:
    • chel nok (alternative spelling: chal-nak):
      • [probably "good luck"(Shaq'nel to Teal'c, Bra'tac, and Rya'c as they head down to a planet to take on Anubis's forces -- Redemption, part 2;] Bra'tac to Adal as he left to protect their escape route -- Evolution, part 1)
    • "Orak kek! Ashah kree lok Jaffa!"
      • (not translated, but almost all the Jaffa guarding the prisoners promptly ran away, toward the voice.) (Evolution, part 1)
      • nb: the close-captioning rendered it "cree", but the word started out with a "k&quotand that's how I spell it.
    • tek ma te:
      • Presumably another variant on "tec'ma-te". Greeting, honorific, etc. ("Tek ma te, Master Bra'tac. It is an honor to serve in your service"-- Adal) (Evolution, part 1)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Culture:
    • The Tok'ra have been trying to find a particular Ancient device for a long, long time -- the healing device from which the Goa'uld Telchak developed the sarcophagus. The Tok'ra want to find it and use it to fix the sarcophagus technology, so that everyone can benefit from it. (Evolution, part 1)
  • Known Tok'ra:
    • Jacob/Selmak:
      • Was called in to help with clone!Jack (before anyone knew he was a clone), but couldn't do anything but offer to cryogenically freeze him, in hopes that one day the Tok'ra would develop the medical technology to heal the clone's failing body. Clone!Jack had no intention of letting the Tok'ra do any such thing, regardless of Jacob's promises that they wouldn't blend him with a Tok'ra symbiote. (Fragile Balance)
      • Helped Sam examine the body of the genetically engineered warrior that Teal'c and Bra'tac found, and determined that it may have been created with a form of an Ancient healing device (the precursor to the sarcophagus), the original of which was hidden in a Mayan temple in southern Honduras (for the Goa'uld Telchak). (Evolution, part 1)
  • Technology:
    • Force field: One-way -- to keep things in, not out. (Evolution, part 1)
    • Star-mapping technology: can take the image of a given world's night stars and figure out that world's location. (Evolution, part 1)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • Rebellion:
      • The firs
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Adal: A rebel Jaffa in Ramius's service, working as a fifth columnist. He and a few of his fellows were helping Bra'tac and the SGC to capture one of the new genetically engineered Goa'uld foot soldiers; they went ahead to ensure an undetected escape for the others. (Evolution, part 1)
    • Bra'tac:
      • Talked Hammond into attempting to capture one of the new genetically engineered Goa'uld "foot soldiers" Anubis has developed, to gain information on how to defeat them. He set up an ambush on Ramius's planet with SGC personnel and rebel Jaffa, but when it went badly, convinced everyone to surrender (to live to fight another day, on the assumption that Adal and his rebel Jaffa might mount a rescue). (Evolution, part 1)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Ancients:
    • Technology:
      • Healing device: On Earth, this became known in legend as the Fountain of Youth. So powerful that its direct effects on humans (even those being used as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes) were devastating; it could only be used from a distance, and with limited exposure. The Goa'uld sarcophagus was eventually developed from it, after Telchak found it and began experminenting with it to make it more accessible. The original device was hidden in one of Telchak's temples on Earth (in southern Honduras, where the Mayans knew him as Chac, the rain god), near a waterfall. The legend surrounding the "Fountain of Youth&quotsaid that all water flows towards it. Daniel and Dr. Lee eventually recovered it. (Evolution, part 1)
        
  • Nox:
    • At least Apophis, and probably other Goa'uld, kept trying to hunt down the Fenri, a creature that lived on the Nox homeworld, without realizing that the Nox were even there. He believed the Fenri had the ability to become invisible, and hoped to learn its secrets. In actuality, the Nox concealed it when someone was hunting it, to protect it.) (The Nox)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Individual episodes:
    • Evolution, part 1:
      • If Nicholas Ballard had believed for years that the Fountain of Youth he'd obsessed over was the result of a piece of alien technology affecting things here on Earth, why was he so skeptical about Daniel's theories? Particularly after writing his notes about the Ancient healing device in an obscure Goa'uld dialect?
      • What's a Goa'uld doing in the Mayan pantheon? To date, the giant ghostly aliens (of Crystal Skull) have held the Mayan slot, as one of the friendly, helpful, teaching alien races (like the Asgard and possibly the Ancients).

• Updated Planets page through Birthright
• Updated the Site Index through Birthright
• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site.
• Added to SG-1 Details:
  • Daniel:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Career:
      • Negotiated a very lucrative peace agreement with the Unas on P3X-403; the Unas will mine the naquadah on the planet and give all of it to the SGC, for use in the fight against the Goa'uld. In return, the humans won't go into the mine and desecrate it (since it's a sacred burial ground to the Unas). (Enemy Mine)
    • Possessions/controlled:
      • Had the minds of 12 people (including at least one woman) dumped into his brain, in a bizarre attempt to save their lives after their bodies died. (Lifeboat)
  • Sam:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Misc.:

      • Rides her motorcycle to work at least occasionally. (Space Race)

      • Was absolutely determined to participate in the Loop of Kon Garat as Warrick's co-pilot, just for the fun of it. (Space Race)

  • Teal'c:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Romantic interests:
      • Ishta (Birthright)
    • Misc.:
    • Among at least some Jaffa, he became known as "Teal'c of the Tau'ri"(Birthright)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• Timeline:
  • 2003: The entire stargate system crashed temporarily as a result of a computer virus that originated with the SGC and was probably tampered with by Baal. (Avenger 2.0)
  • 2003: The SGC forms an alliance with the Hak'tyl, trading tretonin and supplies for information and warriors to help in the fight against the Goa'uld. (Birthright)
• Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
  • Levels:
    • Level 21:
      • At least one medical isolation unit (probably on this level, although possibly on 19) has black walls and a mirrored observation deck, so the person being held there can't see who's watching. (Lifeboat)
• Military codes:
  • Situational codes:
    • Code Seventeen: "Possible Goa'uld". The potential goa'uld is put into medical isolation under guard until it can be determined whether he or she has really been turned into a host. (After Daniel's EEG looked suspicious, Fraiser declared a code 17 and put him into medical isolation under guard, with only a few medical personnel allowed access. He couldn't even see who was in the observation deck; it was mirrored on his side.) (Lifeboat)
• Technology:
  • Goa'uld:
    • Al-kesh, captured by Jack and Teal'c on P3C-249 when a meeting of rebel Jaffa factions was attacked by an unknown System Lord's Jaffa. (Avenger 2.0)
  • Other alien:
    • Ion drive: A Hebridan (Serrakin) ion drive to study, in exchange for helping to bring a stargate to Hebridan. (Space Race)
  • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
    • BC-303: The X-303 is becoming the BC-303 (battle cruiser) as it goes into production. (Enemy Mine)
    • Laptops: (Not even remotely SGC-specific, but I wanted to get this in somewhere, and this was the most logical place) SGC laptops are Dells, probably the Precision M50. (Avenger 2.0)
    • X-303:
      • The X-303 is becoming the BC-303 (battle cruiser) as it goes into production. (Enemy Mine)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • SG-1:
      • SG-1 directly defies orders/goes AWOL:
        • (Not strictly going against orders, but without getting SGC confirmation, Sam and Teal'c made a deal with Pharrin (formerly of Talthus, currently of the Stromos) to help his people, but with the caveat that they would not help him until Daniel was returned to normal, even though that could mean the deaths of 12 people. (Lifeboat))
      • Captured, confined, imprisoned:
        • Lifeboat (Daniel, with 12 people stuck in his head, is held in a medical isolation room in moderate restraints.)
        • Space Race (Teal'c (and Eamon) taken prisoner/hostage by Del Tynan and used as a bargaining chip against Sam and Warrick.)
        • Birthright (Daniel and Teal'c, held by the women of Hak'tyl as insurance that those who'd gone to participate in the tretonin experiment would be returned safely.)
    • SG-2:
      • Assigned as backup to SG-11 when SG-11 returned to P3X-403 to both negotiate with the local Unas and continue their explorations of the naquadah mine. Penhall (and Hanson, but it's not clear if he's with SG-2 or not) was assigned to accompany Daniel and Chaka in their search for the local Unas to begin the negotiations. (Enemy Mine)
    • SG-4:
      • Assigned to help the Taltheans relocate after they were all revived on the Stromos. (Lifeboat)
    • SG-11:
      • Consisting of Colonel Edwards (in command), Major Lorne, Lieutenant Menard (a military scientist), Lieutenant Ritter (possibly a surveyor), and probably Lieutenant Woeste (and maybe more), the team was assigned to explore an abandoned naquadah mine on P3X-403 in hopes of finding deposits big enough to help the SGC build more X-303s. They were there for three months without finding much; the mine was mostly played out, with only faint traces of naquadah left. As their explorations expanded, they stumbled into the local Unas's holy grounds, and Ritter was killed as a warning. Right after this, SG-11 found signs of more naquadah -- which turned out to be a nearly solid, 300-meter long deposit, or about 53,000 metric tons. Unfortunately, the deposit was located in what the local Unas considered their sacred burial ground, where many of their ancestors were worked to death by the Goa'uld. Another member of SG-11 (probably Lt. Woeste) nearly precipitated a massacre when he killed an Unas who was trying to retrieve a bone necklace, misinterpreting the move as aggressive. (Enemy Mine)
    • SG-12:
      • Included one woman as of Lifeboat. The team accompanied Sam and Teal'c back to P2A-347 to explore the wrecked Stromos and try to find whoever attacked SG-1 and dumped 12 minds into Daniel's brain, while Sam worked on learning the cryogenic system in an attempt to reverse the process used against Daniel. (Lifeboat)
  • SG personnel:
    • Colonel Edwards: Commander of SG-11, assigned to explore an abandoned naquadah mine on P3X-403. He was entirely unprepared to deal with actual aliens when his team inadvertantly provoked the local Unas into attacking (by trespassing on sacred burial grounds) three months into their stay there. He was all for going in guns blazing to take out the Unas, convinced they were little more than animals, but eventually followed Daniel's lead, and allowed a peace to be brokered. (Enemy Mine)
    • Felger: (...) Lives in an apartment, but no idea of the address. Builds dioramas of scenes with SG personnel and stargates (either he builds the stargates himself, or he uses action figures/sets from Wormhole X-Treme [the show-universe tv show about the SGC]), and has action figures that are clearly meant to represent SG-1, which are not kept in storage (at least two were on his couch). He worked on a computer virus with Sam that was meant to disable specific DHDs by scrambing their address data. (Avenger 2.0)
    • Hammond:
      • Added a desktop computer and monitor to his office, at a desk sitting under the window/starmap that looks in on the briefing room. (Avenger 2.0)
    • Major Lorne: Member of SG-11, assigned to explore an abandoned naquadah mine on P3X-403. (Enemy Mine)
    • MacKenzie: (...) Still attached to the program as of seventh season. He did the detailed analysis of Daniel's EEG and MRI readings, and determined that Daniel was in a coma while 12 other people were in his mind. (Lifeboat)
    • Lieutenant Menard: A military scientist assigned to SG-11; he was on the team when it was assigned to explore the potential of a naquadah mine on P3X-403 and inadvertantly angered a lot of local Unas. (Enemy Mine)
    • Penhall: (...) Assigned to accompany Daniel and Chaka to find the local Unas so they could begin negotiations on P3X-403. (Enemy Mine)
    • Lieutenant Ritter X: Member of SG-11, possibly a surveyor (at least, he was using surveying equipment). Assigned to explore an abandoned naquadah mine on P3X-403. Died at the hands of at least one Unas after he wandered into their territory while surveying for further exploration, and was tied up to a frame as a warning to the other humans. (Enemy Mine)
    • Siler: (...) Somehow wound up with a broken nose around the time Daniel was "possessed&quotby a dozen different personalities. (Lifeboat)
    • Lieutenant Woeste: Probably the SG-11 soldier who fired on and killed an Unas who was just trying to retrieve a necklace lost in an earlier battle. (Enemy Mine)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Government:
    • NASA
  • Alliances:
    • Off-world alliances:
      • Jaffa rebellion: The alliance with the rebellion started out tentatively, but solidified after Teal'c defeated K'tano (Imhotep) in the rite of joma secu and became de facto leader of the rebels who had joined K'tano. One of the rebels's main bases/refuges is on the SGC's alpha site.
      • The Hak'tyl: ("The liberated") Women and girls living on a world they call Hak'tyl (Liberation), after escaping there from the Goa'uld Moloc and his Ceremony of Fire (the burning to death of all newborn female Jaffa, a decree in effect for 30 years already). They've formed an alliance with the SGC, trading information and warrior skills for supplies and tretonin. (Birthright)
  • Military:
    • Pentagon:
      • Vidrine: Visited the SGC again after SG-11 inadvertantly stirred up a hornet's nest on P3X-403 by exploring too close to the local Unas's holy grounds. He agreed to let Daniel try negotiating (with Chaka's help), but authorized the use of deadly force to protect SGC personnel if the negotiations went badly. Once Daniel successfully made contact and Colonel Edwards reported the size of the naquadah deposit that SG-11 had found, Vidrine made it clear that he intended to relocate the Unas, either with their cooperation or by tranquilizing them and moving them without their knowledge or consent. (Enemy Mine)
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • System Lords:
    • Baal:
      • Took advantage of the fact that the entire stargate network was down (or possibly engineered the breakdown himself, based on a virus started by the SGC) to attack his enemies with his fleet, which was bigger than anyone else's. He was winning pretty steadily, gaining more power as he went. (Avenger 2.0)
  • Minor Goa'uld:
  • Moloc: Very little is known about him, other than that he decreed some thirty years ago (roughly 1973) that any female Jaffa is to be sacrificed immediately after birth in the Ceremony of Fire -- burned to death. As a result, a group of renegade females led by a temple high priestess (Ishta) started up, rescuing female infants before they could be killed and raising them away from all men. The group had an intelligence network that went deep into Moloc's organization. By all reports, Moloc also had a large contingent of Jaffa looking to join the rebellion. (Personal speculation: all those healthy young male Jaffa can't have been happy to realize the only women around were their mothers; the situation was ripe for fostering discontent, and could be why so many were willing to listen to anti-Moloc sentiments.) Ishta, at least, considered him very powerful, with vast armies -- but never referred to him as a System Lord, nor did Ryk'l when he introduced himself as being in the service of "the Goa'uld Moloc". (Birthright)
  • Language:
    • hak'tyl:
      • "liberation"(Birthright)
    • kin'dra:
      • possibly "second in command"(Birthright)
    • prata:
      • "puberty"(Birthright)
    • "Shel kek nem ron":

• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Culture:
    • Had an operative on P5S-117 (one of Baal's principal naquadah mining sites). (Avenger 2.0)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • All female Jaffa receive training in fighting, but no Goa'uld puts them in service as warriors. They're expected to defend their homeworld -- with their lives -- if it comes under attack while their men are called away to battle. (Birthright)
    • Rebellion:
      • Jack and Teal'c, accompanied by an unspecified team of marines, went to P3C-249 to help settle some differences between various rebel factions. When the gate broke down, the factions began accusing each other of sabotage until eventually they came under fire from an al-kesh (under unknown command). After the al-kesh landed and Jaffa headed out on patrols, Jack and Teal'c organized the rebels for a counterattack. They succeeded in capturing the al-kesh. (Avenger 2.0)
      • The Hak'tyl: ("The liberated") Women and girls living on a world they call Hak'tyl (Liberation), after escaping there from the Goa'uld Moloc and his Ceremony of Fire (the burning to death of all newborn female Jaffa, a decree in effect for 30 years already). They've formed an alliance with the SGC, trading information and warrior skills for supplies and tretonin. (Birthright)

  • Known Jaffa:
    • Ishta: A temple high priestess in Moloc's service (although, oddly, her forehead tattoo was black ink, not silver or gold). She was married at one time; her husband was a high-ranked warrior in the Imperial Guard, although she was just one wife of many until he was killed in battle against a rival Goa'uld. As priestess, she was afforded many luxuries to make up for her mistreatment at her husband's hands. Part of her duties included recording births, and presiding over the Ceremony of Fire (the death by burning of newborn females, as ordered by Moloc). She couldn't stand by and watch it continue, so without anyone realizing it, she, along with her seconds Mala and Neith, began smuggling babies out secretly after they were brought for the Ceremony, without telling even the parents, bringing them to a world called Hak'tyl ("Liberation") to create a society also called (the) Hak'tyl. As priestesses, they had access to the stargates on Moloc's worlds to attend to missionary matters, so had no real difficulty carrying it off. She deliberately sent a party of warriors to a planet where she knew SG-1 would be meeting with a would-be rebel, in order to bring them back to Hak'tyl to make a proposition: she wanted Tau'ri weapons and supplies, in exchange for information about Moloc (through an extensive intelligence network that she was tapped into) and possibly physical help in the form of warriors. She was first taken aback by Sam's assumption that what they wanted was help overthrowing Moloc, then by Sam's offer of tretonin as an alternative to reliance on symbiotes. After a sparring match with Teal'c, she decided that tretonin was worth checking out, and agreed to send volunteers to Earth. She originally intended to go with them, but Mala insisted on going in her stead. While they were gone, she and Teal'c started working on starting a relationship. (Birthright)
    • Mala X: A priestess in Moloc's service, and one of Ishta's seconds in the temple, along with Neith. When she was a temple handmaiden, she fell in love with one of the palace guards -- which was forbidden because of their station (not clear whether they were both too low-ranked to merit perks like relationships, or whether one significantly outranked the other, making it inappropriate). When she got pregnant, Moloc had her lover killed and sacrificed their daughter as soon as she was born. Later, as a priestess along with Ishta and Neith, she had access to the stargates on Moloc's worlds to attend to missionary matters, so had no real difficulty carrying out the smuggling of newborn girls who had been brought to the temple for the Ceremony of Fire, bringing them to a world called Hak'tyl ("Liberation") to create a society also called (the) Hak'tyl. She was more forward-thinking and less hidebound than Neith, and generally more in agreement with Ishta's more radical ideas (such as bringing in SG-1 and trying the tretonin). She volunteered to take Ishta's place in the tretonin experiment, saying that Ishta was too valuable to risk. She was determined to see it through, wanting to prove the tretonin worked, but it reacted badly in her, leaving her weak and ill. It got bad enough that Fraiser re-introduced Mala's symbiote against her wishes in a last-ditch effort to save her, and Mala wound up dying as a result. (Birthright)
    • Neith: (nb: rdanderson.com has this as "Neath", but closed-captioning has it as "Neith", and that's what I saw first, so that's what I went with.) A priestess in Moloc's service, and one of Ishta's seconds in the temple, along with Mala. Ishta saved her from death, but couldn't save the next two of her father's daughters; he was a high-station Jaffa in the imperial guard. She swore that when she came of age, no more of her sisters would die. She became part of the temple, with Ishta and Mala. As priestesses, they had access to the stargates on Moloc's worlds to attend to missionary matters, so had no real difficulty carrying out the smuggling of newborn girls who had been brought to the temple for the Ceremony of Fire, bringing them to a world called Hak'tyl ("Liberation") to create a society also called (the) Hak'tyl. When her sister Nesa was born, she took her to save her, but her father discovered the ruse Neith and Ishta had used to keep Nesa away from the fire, and Neith had to kill him so they could escape. She was a traditionalist, fiercely opposed to asking SG-1 or Earth for help, and to the idea of tretonin instead of symbiotes. She was furious that Daniel had spoken to Nesa about other options. She was so opposed to the idea that she even challenged Ishta to joma secu. She lost. Almost immediately after, both she and her symbiote were badly wounded during a raid to procure a symbiote for Nesa, and she was brought back to the SGC. Ishta tried to talk her into accepting tretonin, but failed; Nesa, who had already started on tretonin, finally succeeded. (Birthright)
    • Nesa: Neith's younger sister. When she reached puberty, she chose to try tretonin rather than cause another Jaffa's death to gain his symbiote, despite her sister's objections. While she was on Earth Neith was brought there, badly injures, and Nesa managed to talk her into trying tretonin as well. In the middle of all this, she managed to develop a crush on Daniel. (Birthright)
    • Ryk'l: In service to Moloc. He asked to meet with Teal'c to join with the rebellion, but was killed by troops loyal to Moloc he could do more than greet SG-1. (Birthright)
    • Syn'ac: Young Jaffa girl living in the renegade female camp led by Ishta. She nearly died when she reached puberty, until some of the warriors procured her a symbiote. (Birthright)
  • Biology:
    • Confirmation of genetic modification: Jaffa are genetically altered to be dependent on symbiotes, and if they don't get one at puberty, they die. (see nitpick about this) (Birthright)
• Added to Misc. Aliens:
  • Serrakin:
    • Culture: see Hebridans
    • Relations with Earth: see Hebridans
    • Known Serrakin:
      • Eamon Finn: Warrick's younger brother. His day job was at Tech Con Group, where he designed garbage dispolasl units for the Food Service Division; Del Tynan was his supervisor. Outside of that, he worked as a mechanic/engineer, helping Warrick with the Seberus. Among other things, he designed shielding specifically for flying through the local sun's coronasphere during the Loop of Kon Garat. Once he figured out that Del Tynan had broken into his computer and very possibly sabotaged the Seberus, Eamon got Teal'c a suit and hat that more or less made him inconspicuous, and went to check out Tynan's computer at Tech Con. He's a careful sort, and had put a program on his own system to record any intruder's passcode if they attempt to access his personal files. That allowed him to break into Tynan's files, in turn, and thus discovered that Tynan was sabotaging every ship in the race to allow "his" captain to win. (Space Race)
      • Warrick Finn: Eamon's older brother. (...)
        • When he returned home after his years away trapped on the planet where the Seberus had crashed, his life had changed radically; everyone had thought him dead. (Space Race)
          • His wife, Athea, had remarried and had children. (Space Race)
          • He was basically financially ruined, with work hard to come by, and wound up more than maxing out his credit as a result. (Space Race)
        • He believed that the winning the Loop of Kon Garat was his one chance to get his life back the way he wanted it. He knew he needed help, so he arranged a diplomatic visit for SG-1 to Hebridan, in hopes of getting Sam to help him win the race while they were there; there were no rules against it. The Seberus had functioned at a much higher efficiency level when Sam hooked it up to a naquadah generator, and he wanted that extra boost. He figured that in turn, Sam and the others could look around and learn as much as they could about Hebridan/Serrakin technology, without it ever needing to be official. (Space Race)
        • He was surprised when Sam wanted to participate in the race; he'd only wanted her to show him how to hook up the generator. (Space Race)
        • He had flown in the Loop before, but had never won it. (Space Race)
        • The Seberus was sabotaged, losing its primary engines, but between them Warrick and Sam managed to rig a bypass using the naquadah generator, and got back in the race. (Space Race)
        • When Golon Jarlath's ship vented almost all of its oxygen, Warrick and Sam went to rescue him, over Jarlath's loud objections and Warrick's indifference (he hated Jarlath as much as Jarlath hated him, but let himself be talked into helping without too much difficulty when Sam refused to leave Jarlath to die). (Space Race)
        • After making up almost all their lost time, Warrick and Sam were forced to drop out when Del Tynan called to tell them he had Eamon and Teal'c as hostages. (Space Race)
        • Although they eventually got back in the race, they didn't have enough time to make up the full distance, and after Jarlath rigged a communications beam blast to take out Muirios's controls temporarily, La'el Montrose won the race. (Space Race)
        • Warrick came away from the race more deeply in debt than ever, but Montrose hired him on as co-pilot for the contract from Tech Con Group. (Space Race)
  • Unas:
    • One (large) group wound up living on P3X-403, after being brought there by Goa'uld to mine naquadah, then abandoned when the mine ran more or less dry. (Enemy Mine)
      • Descended of slaves forced to work a Goa'uld naquadah mine. (Enemy Mine)
      • The planet had peculiar electro-magnetic properties that rendered compasses useless and limited radio range. (Enemy Mine)
      • The naquadah mine was mostly played out, with only faint traces of naquadah left, except for one area -- a nearly solid, 300-meter long deposit, or about 53,000 metric tons. Unfortunately, the deposit was located in what the local Unas considered their sacred burial ground, where many of their ancestors were worked to death by the Goa'uld. (Enemy Mine)
    • Known Unas:
      • Chaka: (...)
        • After leading the uprising of the Unas slaves against the humans, Chaka brokered a truce and eventually negotiated a fragile peace. He stayed in contact with Daniel, learning a fair amount about humans and English -- he and Daniel learned to communicate fairly well in a mix of the two languages. His first trip to Earth was when Daniel asked him to help negotiate with the Unas on P3X-403, to avert a war. He was a fairly low-key middleman, mostly letting Daniel and Iron Shirt do the work, but helping with translation and cultural things (like showing Daniel how to trade items of some value before beginning any negotiations). (Enemy Mine)
      • Kor Asek (Iron Shirt): Alpha male among the tribe of Unas descended from slaves the Goa'uld used to mine a naquadah deposit on P3X-403. He got his name from the Jaffa chainmail and shoulder guards he wore. To protect his people's sacred burial ground (the mine where many of their ancestors were worked to death) from intruders, he negotiated a deal with Daniel, coming up with the idea of the Unas working the mine and giving all the naquadah to the humans -- so they could make more weapons to kill the Goa'uld.

• Added to Misc. Humans:
  • Hebridans: (...)
    • The news/sports announcer says that "Major Samantha Carter's participation will mark the first inclusion of an alien in Loop history."-- clearly, both human and Serrakin Hebridans are considered Hebridans first. (Space Race)
    • The Loop of Kon Garat: An annual space race sponsored by Tech Con Group (the largest corporation on the planet), which awards a lucrative contract to the winner. The theory is that it's the best way to find the most qualified pilot with the best ship. (Space Race)
      • The race has resulted in deaths in the past. (Space Race)
      • The race is open to anyone who wants to enter. (Space Race)
      • The rules are simple: the winner must arrive first, and intact. (Space Race)
      • No smaller prizes are awarded; winner takes all. (Space Race)
      • The Loop is a course that consists of four distinct stages: defense, navigation, maneuverability, and speed. (Space Race)
        • Defense: Tested each ship's defense capabilities as it flew through a field of armed drones attacking it. Both shields and apparently weapons (to destroy the drones) are acceptable methods of passing through. If a ship becomes disabled, the drones stop firing on it. (Space Race)
        • Navigation: The ships must fly trough the coronasphere of the local sun, which disrupts communications and navigation equipment. (Space Race)
        • Maneuverability: Flying through an asteroid field. (Space Race)
        • Speed: A looping run for the finish line. (Space Race)
      • At the starting line, the competing ships line up in space (along a single [horizontal] plane) behind a temporary force field waiting for the start signal. (Space Race)
      • In 2003, the 59th race was run; for the first time, an offworld alien particpated, as Sam signed on as Warrick's co-pilot on the Seberus. The prize for this Loop was a contract for deep space exploration. Ten ships competed in the race. (Space Race)
        • After the first phase, one ship was out (Shibo's Tritan). Muirios had the lead, followed by La'el Montrose and Golon Jarlath. (Space Race)
        • Ships began dropping out or falling behind because of sabotage. (Space Race)
          • The Seberus lost its primary engines while flying through the local sun's coronasphere; if it weren't for the naquadah generator, which allowed them to bypass the damaged power converter and supply power directly to the engines, Sam and Warrick would have died as a result of being pulled straight into the sun. (Space Race)
          • The Oran lost almost all of its oxygen; Jarlath would have died if Warrick and Sam hadn't been behind him and willing to stop to pick him up. (Space Race)
        • After stage two (navigation), only six ships remained out of the original ten, with the Serebus in last place. (Space Race)
        • After stage three (maneuverability), the Seberus had regained almost all the ground it had lost, but was forced to drop out of the race after Muirios complained about it to Del Tynan, who called Warrick and Sam to tell them he had Eamon and Teal'c hostage. (Space Race)
        • During stage four (speed), La'el Montrose took advantage of the few seconds that Warrick, Sam, and Jarlath bought by jamming Muirios's instruments after Eamon and Teal'c were freed, and won the race. (Space Race)
    • Tech Con Group: The largest corporation on Hebridan. Motto: "Tech Con Group -- People and progress, working in total harmony."(Space Race)
      • Miles Hagan was its president. (Space Race)
      • Del Tynan was Eamon's supervisor. He had been passed over for advancement three times; he believed it was because he was a human in a Serrakin-dominated culture, but in reality it was because he was under investigation for corruption. The investigators couldn't prove anything until he made a deal with the pilot Muirios and tried to rig the Loop of Kon Garat. (Space Race)
      • Tech con had gaming/gambling kiosks in urban centers everywhere, to facilitate betting on the Loop of Kon Garat. (Space Race)
    • The company philosophy encourages mutual trust; no one locks their office doors. (Space Race)
    • Gambling was perfectly legal, with betting kiosks scattered around. (Space Race)
    • "Eat greeven&quotis an insult. (Space Race)
    • Relations with Earth:
      • Diplomatic channels with Earth were open, but progress in developing relations was slow. (Space Race)
      • During the diplomatic visit Warrick had arrranged for SG-1, Jack and Daniel managed to negotiate a deal whereby Earth would help bring a stargate to Hebridan, and in return would be given an ion drive to study. (Space Race)
    • Technology:
      • Lots of air traffic, both small craft and things that look like airborne trains. (Space Race)
      • Television or some other audio/visual broadcast technology; huge floating screens that carry it (which make no sense, since one of the ones that's visible appears to be pointing at empty space over water; a second appears to be between two buildings in the nearby city, which makes more sense.). Commercials are run during the regular programming, at least during news/sports broadcasts, as the announcer makes pitches for products and companies. (Space Race)
      • Power sources to rival naquadah generators -- but too expensive for the average pilot to get hold of. (Space Race)
    • Known Hebridans:
      • Athea: (...) When she thought Warrick was dead, she remarried and had children. (Space Race)
      • Coyle Boron: A two-time winner of the Loop of Kon Garat. Before the 59th Loop began, he picked Muirios to be the winner. Mixed Serrakin/Human ancestry. (Space Race)
      • Eamon Finn: See Eamon Finn. (Space Race)
      • Ardal Hadraig: Sports or news announcer for TCNN, a Hebridan "television&quotnetwork. (Space Race)
      • Miles Hagan: President of Tech Con Group; mixed Serrakin and Human ancestry. (Space Race)
      • Golon Jarlath: Captain of the Oran, and one of the pilots racing in the 59th Loop of Kon Garat. He was once caught running illegal weapons to the outer mining colonies; Warrick had thought him in prison. There was no love lost between the two, with a fair amount of personal sniping back and forth whenever they came into contact. His ship lost oxygen during the race, and he was going to die, but idiotically decided that would be better than accepting help from anyone, particularly Warrick and the Seberus. He got very pissy when Warrick and Sam ignored him and saved his life anyway. He spent most of the rest of the trip telling them that they were insane to keep trying to win, then eventually helped by rigging the communications system through the naquadah generator, so he could send a directed communications blast at Muirios's ship to temporarily disable its command controls. (Space Race)
      • La'el Montrose: She was an independent cargo runner from the parallel colonies, with a very fast ship; she raced in the 59th Loop of Kon Garat. Despite Del Tynan's sabotage, she stayed in the race, finally winning it when Jarlath managed to disable Muirios's ship temporarily near the finish line. (Space Race)
      • Muirios: One of the racers in the 59th Loop of Kon Garat; his piloting skills were legendary. He was flying a crooked race, aware that Del Tynan had both outfitted Muirios's own ship with experimental Tech Con boosters not available to any other pilots, and sabotaged the other ships as added insurance that Muirios would win. (Space Race)
      • Shibo: Captain of the Tritan; he was one of the racers in the 59th Loop of Kon Garat. His ship got disabled during the first phase, when it failed to defend adequately against the drones firing on it. He had to drop out of the race. (Space Race)
      • Taupen: A parts supplier for space ships, who sold Warrick a reconditioned long-range scanner unit when Warrick's credit was too overdrawn to get him a new one. (Space Race)
      • Del Tynan: Eamon's supervisor at Tech Con Group. He had been passed over for advancement in the company three times. He was a racist who believed that the Serrakin were steadily undermining "pure-blood&quothumans, and who intended to dominate the planet just as the Goa'uld had done long ago. He was convinced that he had been passed over for promotion because he was human, and it made him angry enough to want to do something about it. He planned to sabotage the Loop of Kon Garat to ensure that a full human won it, and had schematics of every ship in the race to make it easier, so he could sabotage each one differently. He also outfitted "his&quotpilot's ship (Muirios) with experimental Tech Con boosters that no private sector pilot should have been able to lay hands on. Tynan definitely sabotaged the Seberus himself, and possibly all the others as well, rather than sending a flunky to do it. When Warrick and Sam managed to repair the Seberus and make up most of their lost ground, Tynan resorted to blackmail; he called them and told them that he had Eamon and Teal'c as hostages (which he did), and demanded that they drop out of the race. As it turns out, he was passed over for advancement because he had been under investigation for corruption for more than a year. (Space Race)
  • Taltheans:
    • Planet name: Talthus. SGC designation: none.
      • The planet was about to be caught in a massive solar flare when a dark star passed close enough by to affect their sun; the flare would engulf Talthus and destroy it. The people knew about it for 12 years before it happened, and did what they could to save the race. Before it could happen, three ships went out into deep space, with cryogenically frozen colonists (supposedly chosen strictly by lottery) aboard. (Lifeboat)
        • The sovereigns (plural, but not clear if it's just two, or more) were chosen in the lottery. (Lifeboat)
        • One of these ships was called the Stromos; among other people, it was carrying a sovereign, Martice. (Lifeboat)
        • The ships were bound for a planet called Ardena, where its passengers would settle and colonize. Some 3,000 people total from all three ships were supposed to settle there, with Martice as ruler. (Lifeboat)
        • The Stromos crashed for unknown reasons on P2A-347. The computer revived Pharrin, who was one of the officers (and an engineer), presumably to fix whatever the problem was, but reviving him used up too much power; the other cryo units in his compartment began to fail, and 12 sleepers were going to die within minutes. Pharrin figured out a way to bypass the failsafes keeping each mind connected to its own body, and put all 12 personalities inside his own mind in a desperate attempt to save as many as possible. When SG-1 arrived and began exploring the ship, the group mind inside Pharrin knocked them out (using a fairly indiscriminate energy weapon) and began the same process using them as personlity carriers, but had to stop after they'd gotten 12 more personalities inside Daniel -- Teal'c woke up and scared them off. (Lifeboat)
          • Sam and Teal'c discovered this when they went back to the ship and met Pharrin, who asked them to also be carriers of personalities to save some of his people. They refused, offering a different deal: once Daniel was returned to them with no other minds inside his, they'd repower the Stromos and revive as many people as were still alive, and send them all through the stargate to a new world. Pharrin (and the others in his mind) accepted. After a dicey moment or two when Martice objected, the deal went through: Pharrin took all of the personalities from Daniel into himself. (Lifeboat)
        • The survivors of the Stromos never made it to Ardena; the SGC repowered their ship enough to revive all the sleepers, then sent them through the stargate on P2A-347 to another world, to start a separate, smaller colony of their own. (Lifeboat)
        • No idea if the other two ships ever made it to Ardena. (Lifeboat)

      Known Taltheans:

      • Keenin: A young boy, maybe 5 or 6, who was the only member of his family able to go on the Stromos with his father (Pharrin), an officer (who was allowed to bring one family member with him). His mother insisted on the choice. Keenin didn't want to leave; he wanted to stay with his mother. After the ship crashed on P2A-347, Keenin's body was one of the ones that died, and he was one of the personalities that got dumped into Daniel's brain as a last-ditch alternative to save at least some part of their lives. (Lifeboat)
      • Martice: A sovereign of Talthus. Older than Daniel, but no idea by how much. He was arrogant and pushy, with an exceedingly high opinion of himself. After the ship crashed on P2A-347, Martice's body was one of the ones that died, and he was one of the personalities that got dumped into Daniel's brain as a last-ditch alternative to save at least some part of their lives. When Pharrin (and the many personalities inside his mind) came to the SGC and explained to Tryan (the then-"visible" personality in Daniel) that there was a way to save their people, Tryan accepted that he would have to be sacrificed to pull it off; Martice vehemently objected, and took control of Daniel's body to say so, demanding that Pharrin return him to the ship immediately, refusing to be sacrificed in any way. (Lifeboat)
      • Pharrin: Engineer; Keenin's father. (Lifeboat)
        • After the ship crashed on P2A-347, the computer revived him, but the power it took was too much for the system, and 12 cryosleep units in his compartment began to fail. He figured out a way to bypass their failsafes, to make it possible to transfer a consciousness to another body. He transferred people to himself first -- the 12 who were about to die within minutes as the price of his revival, for a total of 13 people living in one body -- then knocked out SG-1 when they boarded the ship (using a widespread energy blast) and started in on them to save more as the power continued to weaken throughout the ship. He only got as far as Daniel (again, 12 additional minds inside Daniel) when Teal'c woke up and he had to stop and flee. (Lifeboat)
        • He/they was/were obsessed with saving as many of his people -- the last of an entire world -- as possible, believing that the other ships would hear the Stromos's distress beacon and come to get them, and find a way to restore the souls he was carrying within him. (Lifeboat)
        • He/they tried to convince Sam and Teal'c to let themselves become carriers of other minds, as well. They refused, but offered a different deal instead: if Pharrin returned Daniel to them with no other personalities inside him, they'd repower the Stromos enough to revive all the sleepers still alive, and send everyone through the stargate on P2A-347 to a new world, to start a smaller, separate colony than the original one on Ardena. (Lifeboat)
        • Pharrin went for the deal after they brought him to the SGC (proving to him that stargates exist and work, as promised). He easily talked Tryan into the agreement, but when Martice took over Daniel's body and demanded that Pharrin obey him and return him to the ship, Pharrin hit his knees and told Sam he had no choice -- they'd all sworn an oath of utter allegiance to the sovereign, and he had to do his will. Pharrin changed his/their mind after Jack threatened to cut the sovereign out of Daniel; he/they told the sovereign that the agreement with the SGC was the only way to save their people, so they had no choice. He promised Keenin (who appeared immediately after the sovereign) that they would be together, and then took all of the personalities who had been in Daniel into himself (Daniel had kept his consciousness suppressed almost entirely thoughout, so his mind hadn't mingled in any way with the others -- that was the only reason he could be separated out during the transfer). (Lifeboat)
        • It wasn't clear if all the personalities had actually made it; Pharrin was left in suspended animation until the other passengers could revive and take care of him/them. (Lifeboat)
      • Tryan: Engineer, second rank, on the Stromos. After the ship crashed on P2A-347, Tryan's body was one of the ones that died, and he was one of the personalities that got dumped into Daniel's brain as a last-ditch alternative to save at least some part of their lives. He was the most helpful of the personalities in dealing with the SGC -- rational and willing to talk. When Pharrin (and the many personalities inside his mind) came to the SGC and explained to Tryan that there was a way to save their people, Tryan accepted that he would have to be sacrificed to pull it off. (Lifeboat)

      Technology:

      • Fairly advanced -- spaceships and successful cryogenics (necessary for the spaceflight, which wasn't faster than light). (Lifeboat)
        • The cryogenic system was set up with hundreds of individual modules -- separate chambers/pods for each body. The mind of each "cryosleeper&quotwas stored in the same memory module as the body, with multiple safeguards built in to ensure that the correct mind went to the correct body and no other. Swapping bodies was supposed to be technically impossible -- unless the sleeper's body is dead. Only after a body dies can the failsafes be overridden and the consciousness purged from the system. (Lifeboat)
          • Each cryogenic capsule contained an "active matrix memory module"-- memory storage big enough to house one adult human's consciousness. (Lifeboat)
          • The consciousness was separated from the body during the cryogenic process to protect it; the restoration process destroyed memories and intellect. Without properly storing the consciousness elsewhere, a person would wake up a shadow of his former self. (Lifeboat)

• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Individual episodes:
    • Lifeboat:
      • Actually, a series-wide nitpick: 3,000 people is a very small gene pool for starting a new colony, with no hope of new blood from the homeworld ever again. One thousand people is even worse.
        • Spackling: Choosing mostly by lottery was at least a way of varying the gene pool as far as possible, so the colonists didn't consist of several closely related family groups from the beginning.
      • If the Stromos was so low on power that life support for some pods was failing, how did it manage to generate an energy blast strong enough to take out all of SG-1? That was a directed blast; it was indiscriminate, sweeping through the hallways. Complete waste of energy.
    • Enemy Mine:
      • Why do they need so much naquadah to build the X-303s? The SGC already has a large offworld trinium mine, and trinium is more likely to be used for building things. And the hyperdrive uses naquadria, not naquadah. (Enemy Mine)
      • If they do need as much naquadah for the 303 as is implied in this episode, where did they get enough to build the original? (Enemy Mine)
    • Space Race:
      • I know it's standard for SF tv and movies to do this, but it makes no sense for the ships competing in the Loop of Kon Garat to line up along a single horizontal plane to begin the race; if they're all aiming for more or less the same point in space, they could just as easily be forming more of a filled quadrangle as a line similar to a race run on a planet.
    • Avenger 2.0:
      • First, I should say that a few points do work in the episode's favor, mostly the fact that absolutely everyone, especially Jack, thinks Felger is an absolute idiot. That's not enough to make the rest of the episode read as reality for me, though. I'm forced once again to conclude that what we're seeing is a version of events that may or may not have included Felger, as seen through his rather overactive imagination.
      • I know that I'm going to be seen as some sort of humorless drone for this *g*, but the fact that this episode was purely about the humor is actually the point. No, it doesn't appeal to my sense of humor, but that's not why I'm listing as little as possible about what happened in it. The problem is that because it's played for these particular laughs, it ignores SG-universe reality to a degree that I can't speedbump. These pages are about canon -- things that actually happen. If I can't tell that something happened exactly the way it's shown, I can't add it to the site.
      • For what it's worth, I'm taking scenes that happen when Felger's nowhere around as canon (e.g., Sam did get assigned to work with Felger; Baal does have a mining operation on P5S-117). But any scene that Felger's a part of is tainted by being run through his imagination before we see it, and I can't trust it to be real.
      • General nitpicks:
        • Why are we supposed to believe that Felger is a brilliant scientist? Both Chloe and Sam call him that, Chloe to the point of saying he's at a Nobel-prize-winning level of brilliance, but all we've ever seen him do is bumble and fail. Hammond even says that his record shows nothing but big talk and no results. McKay is a brilliant scientist I can believe in; Felger is anything but. I have no idea how he got, or keeps, his job at the SGC.
        • The biggest reason I can't accept that what we're shown is actually what happened is the sheer unlikelihood of it all.
          • Felger has never worked on a DHD before, and yet we're supposed to believe that in the space of a few short hours, this man who's never managed to come up with a plan that worked (per Hammond's comment about him being all talk and no results) comes up with something that neither Sam nor McKay ever thought of, and pulls it off (even with Sam's help).
          • In the space of a few hours, Baal notices what's happened, traces it back to its source, figures out the virus program, rewrites it, and reuploads it to the gate system. I very much doubt it.
          • In the space of even fewer hours, Felger, working alone with nothing but a laptop somehow jury-rigged to the DHD's programming, manages to figure out what Baal has done, rewrite the virus yet again, and get it successfully uploaded to the gate system. While under enemy fire. (I would buy it if it were Sam or McKay, because they're both that brilliant, and have proved it -- and they've both spent years studying the stargate system and the DHD, to become the accepted experts in the field. Felger has proved himself an incompetent, and has spent a whopping few days looking at DHD programming code with Sam right at his shoulder to make sure he didn't screw up. I don't buy it at all.)
        • There are at least four signs on hallway walls pointing to "Dr. J. Felger -- Research"-- again, no, can't buy it. Signs for the research department, yes, maybe (although we've never seen a single sign like this pointing to any other department, like Medical, which would be far more important. Or to Hammond's office, likewise.). Signs for Felger and no one and nothing else? No. This is Felger's high opinion of himself, and nothing else.
        • Felger answers his phone "Stargate Comand, Felger speaking" -- and gave the number to his mother. He should be fired on the spot for breaking security regulations. (nb: I very much doubt that it's against regs for people to be able to call in, despite what Felger says, but I cannot believe that anyone is allowed to answer an outside call with "Stargate Command", under any circumstances.)
    • Birthright:
      • Teal'c says "A Jaffa is taught it is more noble to die than to kill another [Jaffa]."-- which makes no sense, since Jaffa go out killing each other in their respective gods' names all the time. There's also ritual combat in the form of joma secu, which is to the death (for no better reason than to advance in the Jaffa hierarchy).
      • Sam says that Jaffa have been genetically altered to rely upon symbiotes, and that if they don't get one [at puberty], they die. This flatly contradicts what happens in Bloodlines, where the only reason Teal'c gave in and gave Rya'c a symbiote was because he was dying of scarlet fever and there was no other way to save him; otherwise, he was there specifically to keep Rya'c from getting a symbiote. The implication was clear that without a symbiote, Rya'c would have lived a normal life; it was only getting one in the first place that made him dependent.
      • Mala says that when her forbidden relationship was discovered, her lover was killed -- but why would Moloc, who believed females to be essentially useless except to generate more warriors, kill a warrior instead of Mala?

• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site.

July 31, 2003

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Revisions
  • Added an arc for Rak'nor.
• Updated Episodes, Writers, and Directors through Revisions
• Added to SG-1 Details:
  • Jack:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Misc.:
        • Uses at least a laptop at home. (Children of the Gods)
        • Apparently watches (or at least has seen) the History Channel program "Mail Call"; his behavior during the camera-relayed report back to Hammond mimicked the behavoir of "Mail Call"'s host. (Revisions)
  • Daniel:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Misc.:
      • As his memory returned, he regained most of his pre-ascension memories, but at first none from his time as an ascendant. The first of those memories he regained was of Rya'c and Bra'tac, imprisoned on a penal colony. (Orpheus)
      • Used to feel that he didn't really belong anywhere, and had hoped that ascending would change that. His efforts to free Bra'tac, Rya'c, Teal'c, and Rak'nor from a death camp after he had descended made him realize how important his life with the SGC really was, and he finally felt like he was a part of something important. (Orpheus)
  • Teal'c:
  • General info:
    • Suffered a severe loss of confidence after losing Junior, believing himself to be too weak to be a true Jaffa, and thus a liability to his team. (Orpheus)
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Severe injuries :
      • Shot in the symbiote pouch at close range by a staff weapon; heartbeat stopped temporarily (he was immediately given CPR). Only the fact that he lacked a symbiote and was on tretonin saved him. The blast passed through his symbiote pouch and damaged his spine and surrounding soft tissues. (nb: this nearly went into Near-deaths, since at one point they lost his pulse. But they started CPR immediately, so after waffling a bit I put it here, especially since it involved a lot more recovery time than most of the team's near-deaths.) (Orpheus)
      • Badly beaten/whipped by Baal's Jaffa -- to the point where he couldn't walk at first -- in the death camp where Bra'tac and Rya'c were being held. (Orpheus)
    • Confirmed kills:
      • The head Jaffa (in service to Baal) in the death camp on Erebus. (Orpheus)
    • Misc.:
    • kelno'reem:
      • Although kelno'reem was no longer necessary after losing Junior, Teal'c still found comfort/serenity in it ("Kelno'reem is unnecessary -- but it does make me feel... better."(Orpheus)
    • Blamed himself for getting shot, believing himself to be kek -- weak -- after losing his symbiote and becoming dependent on tretonin. (Orpheus)
      • Overdid his recovery excercises trying to prove (to himself) he was still strong, then refused to be put back on active duty when Fraiser finally cleared him, believing himself still too much of a liability to the team. (Orpheus)
      • Before a rescue mission to save Bra'tac and Rya'c, still believing himself a liability, he asked Jack to care for Rya'c in case he (Teal'c) died. (Orpheus)
      • Badly injured, he offered his own life instead of Rya'c's when Rya'c was about to be killed in the death camp. The rescue started up before he could be killed, and in the battle to free the prisoners, Teal'c managed to kill the head Jaffa with his bare hands -- getting his "mojo&quotback in the process. (Orpheus)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • General info:
      • Hazmat suits worn offworld have name patches on the left arm, so that team members can identify each other. (Revisions)
    • SG-1:
      • Captured, confined, imprisoned:
        • Orpheus (Teal'c captured by Baal's Jaffa in the death camp during the rescue of Bra'tac and Rya'c.)
    • SG-2: Now including Major Penhall (leader unknown), SG-2 accompanied SG-1 and SG-3 to Erebus, to stage a rescue of Bra'tac and Rya'c. SG-2 went with SG-1 to the actual camp, while SG-3 guarded the stargate. (Orpheus)
    • SG-3: (...) Accompanied SG-1 and SG-2 to Erebusto stage a rescue of Bra'tac and Rya'c. SG-3 was assigned to secure the stargate. (Orpheus)
  • SG personnel:
    • Major Penhall: Member of SG-2. He was part of the mission that went to Erebus to rescue Bra'tac and Rya'c. (Orpheus)
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • Culture:
    • After a battle, captured Jaffa who didn't switch sides to the winning Goa'uld's got sent off to a hard-labor/death camp. The prisoners were whipped and beaten to make them produce, and once they fell too far behind, they were killed outright. (Orpheus)
      • At least one of the camps included women. (Orpheus)
  • System Lords:
    • Baal:
      • His empire was expanding fast, helped by his position as commander of the united alliance of the System Lords -- a position the SGC had put him in. (Orpheus)
      • One of his conquests was a planet called Erebus. In Greek mythology, Erebus was the place condemned souls went to right after they died. In Goa'uld society, Erebus was a planet that was used to build ha'tak vessels and to purify the naquadah used to build them, using only Jaffa prisoner-labor (regular humans wouldn't have been able to stand the heat and toxic fumes from the gas furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems, for at least a little while). The stargate on Erebus is protected by a forcefield that functions like the Tau'ri iris; you need to have the right code to send through the gate to deactivate it, or you die trying to pass through. (Orpheus)
    • Morrigan:
      • Long ago, likely ruled over the planet designated P3X-289 by the SGC; the locals unearthed a stargate on that world 563 years before SG-1 visited them (circa 1440 by our calendar), and associated it with the worship of the goddess Morrigan. (Revisions)
  • Technology:
    • Ha'taks:
      • Ha'taks (at least some of them) are built using slave labor to produce the materials, with the ship itself built on anti-gravity platforms hovering above the ground, not in space. Taking out even just a part of the anti-grav platform is enough to crash the ship. (Orpheus)
  • Language:
    • A kek hasshak. Ya duru!:
      • At a guess, "These [expetive of choice] are too weak to live. Take them!"[or "execute them!&quotor something similar, possibly with the subtext of "do the honorable thing by killing them] The Jaffa overseer sneered this toward workers who were failing at their task, and Jaffa guards started dragging them away to stand them in front of a firing squad. Broken down, "kek&quotmeans "weak&quotor "dead", and "hasshak&quotis an insult meaning "fool", more or less; "ya duru&quothas no direct translation, but was part of a greeting from K'tano/Imhotep to Teal'c. (Orpheus)
    • kek:
      • both "death&quotand "weakness"-- the Jaffa use one word for both, "for if one is weak, one may as well be dead", according to Teal'c. (Orpheus)
    • Trey lon tonok!:
      • Yelled by the Jaffa in charge of the death camp, when he saw the ha'tak being built on a grav platform falling slowly to the ground; the other Jaffa took off running for the ship. (Orpheus)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • Rebellion:
      • The ambush [where Teal'c and Bra'tac nearly died] became known as the "ambush of kresh'taa"(according to Bloodlines, "kresh'taa&quotmeans "outcasts"-- interesting term to use for the rebel tribes). 106 rebel warriors were killed there. (Orpheus)
      • After the death camp on Erebus was liberated (by SGs 1, 2, and 3, with the help of Bra'tac, Rya'c, and Rak'nor), all the former prisoners were sent to the alpha site, where they joined the rebellion. (Orpheus)
    • Warrior culture:
      • After a battle, captured Jaffa who didn't switch sides to the winning Goa'uld's got sent off to a hard-labor/death camp. The prisoners were whipped and beaten to make them produce, and once they fell too far behind, they were killed outright. (Orpheus)
        • At least one of the camps included women. (Orpheus)
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Bra'tac: (...)
      • Went with Rya'c and at least two other rebels to recruit more rebel Jaffa. The planet they went to was a sort of penal colony -- Erebus -- where Jaffa who refused to change gods (to Baal) after being defeated in battle were sent. Only the strong survived there; the weak and disobedient were whipped to make them perform, and those who couldn't work hard enough even with that "encouragement&quotwere killed outright. (Orpheus)
        • Rya'c and Bra'tac were caught and forced into hard labor.(Orpheus)
        • Rya'c was whipped at least once, after dropping his end of a load he and Bra'tac were carrying. Bra'tac distracted the guard whipping Rya'c, and took Rya'c's punishment in his stead. (Orpheus)
        • While in the camp, Bra'tac had to ration his supply of tretonin, but it weakened him. Much more accepting of being on tretonin than Teal'c was, though; seemed to look on it as something that was keeping him alive, rather than something that was making him weak. Still, by the time he'd been in the camp for three months, his supply had run out, and he was living on borrowed time when SG-1 and two other SG teams, along with Rak'nor, arrived to rescue him and Rya'c. Teal'c and Rak'nor infiltrated the camp just in time to give him a dose of tretonin, enough to let him start recovering. (Orpheus)
    • Rak'nor: (...)
      • Came to Earth to help figure out what Daniel was remembering about Rya'c and Bra'tac, and identified the planet in Daniel's sketch of his memory as Erebus, a hard-labor planet survivable only by Jaffa which Baal had recently taken over. He accompanied SG-1, SG-3, and one other SG team to Erebus to stage a rescue. He's the one who tossed a Jaffa shock grenade through the gate to take out the forces guarding it on the other side. With Teal'c, he infiltrated the camp once they got that far. They were both captured by Baal's Jaffa, and badly beaten/whipped. Rak'nor recovered more quickly than Teal'c (healed by his symbiote), and helped Rya'c spread the word among the prisoners to revolt when the time came (when SG-1 and SG-2 launched the next rescue attempt). (Orpheus)
    • Rya'c: (...)
      • Went with Bra'tac to recruit more rebel Jaffa. The planet they went to was a penal colony, where Jaffa who refused to change gods (to Baal) after being defeated in battle were sent. Only the strong survived there; the weak and disobedient were whipped to make them perform, and those who couldn't work hard enough even with that "encouragement" were killed outright. Rya'c and Bra'tac were caught and forced into hard labor. (Orpheus)
        • Rya'c was whipped at least once, after dropping his end of a load he and Bra'tac were carrying. Bra'tac distracted the guard whipping Rya'c, and took Rya'c's punishment in his stead. (Orpheus)
        • Rya'c had a hard time believing rescue would come, but when it did, had the presence of mind to point out that the entire camp needed rescuing, not just him and Bra'tac. (Orpheus)
        • After Teal'c was captured and beaten to immobility, Rya'c had to deal with the fact that Teal'c wasn't the invulnerable hero he'd always thought. While Teal'c was recovering, Rya'c and Rak'nor spread the word among the prisoners to revolt when the time came (when SG-1 and SG-2 launched the next rescue attempt). He got caught being away from his work station, and was about to be executed for not working when Teal'c staggered up and insisted that he be taken in Rya'c's place; the rescue kept either of them from dying. (Orpheus)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Ascendants:
    • Culture:
      • "Adopted" Ascendants:
        • Daniel:
          • He followed Bra'tac and Rya'c to Erebus, where they were captured by Baal's forces. All he did at the time was observe what was going on. (Orpheus)
• Added to Misc. Humans:
  • Dome-dwellers:
    • Planet: P3X-289 (Revisions)
      • Located about 6,000 light years from Earth. (Revisions)
      • Likely originally ruled by Morrigan, and thus the people were probably descended of Celts. (Revisions)
    • The planet itself was utterly uninhabitable; the atmosphere was toxic, composed of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, ammonia, and possibly other substances, as a result of technology run amok. The civilization that had existed there had been almost completely wiped out, its people dying of disease and starvation, and from the poisoned air and water. (Revisions)
    • The hazmat suits SG-1 wore to explore the planet were capable of withstanding the corrosive atmosphere for about 12 hours before starting to degrade. (Revisions)
      • The only livable place on the planet was a single dome. When the SGC found it, it was 2.2 kilometers across and 500 meters high. It was located no more than half an hour's walk from the stargate. (Revisions)
    • The energy barrier that made up the outside of the dome gave off a static charge and provided a level of resistance to passing through it, presumably to keep people from accidentally going outside it. For things passing from outside to inside, the barrier scrubs off all toxicity. (Revisions)
      • It was permeable to large solid objects, but wouldn't allow atmosphere either in or out. (Revisions)
    • The only survivors on the planet (or rather, their descendants) lived inside the dome, in a single town. The original survivors had made a deliberate decision to live a simpler life than they were used to, giving up most everyday technology in favor of clean air and drinkable water. They created the dome more than 400 years before SG-1 found it. (Revisions)
      • When the dome first went operational, everyone signed a contract establishing communal land ownership rights. There were more than 100,000 people living there. Some four hundred or so years later, the population had dwindled to just over 1,370, without anyone ever realizing that the population was shrinking. (On SG-1's second day in the dome, Daniel asked about the population size and Evalla replied "1,373", but at least one person had already died since their arrival with no one the wiser. The number could have been changing every hour, for all anyone knew.) (Revisions)
      • No one who lived inside the dome had knowingly ventured outside since it was built, although they monitored the level of toxicity. Their "memories&quotof the outside were of a city with tall buildings, made out of glass and steel; no one had seen the shattered ruins that were all that remained. They hoped that one day the planet would become habitable again, and they could go out of the dome and reclaim it, but didn't expect it to happen in their lifetime. (Revisions)
      • The community had a strict zero-population growth culture; each couple was allowed no more than two children. There was nothing stopping anyone from breaking the custom, but no one ever had. (Revisions)
      • The town was run by a council, originally made up of four people (three men and a woman, at the time SG-1 arrive). Because one of the councillors (the woman) was the one sent outside the dome to conserve dome resources (and was thus wiped from everyone's memory), the entire town's population was convinced that the council had always been made up solely of three people, and that a woman hadn't served on it in at least two years. (Revisions)
    • The dome was completely self-sufficient, generating enough food and water to handle everyone's needs. The energy to run the system came from geothermal vents located beneath the town. The control room that ran the system was underground, reachable by stairs, and monitored all systems, including atmospheric analysis, dome integrity, and power utilization. (Revisions)
      • It began to lose power about 200 years after its inception, when the geothermal vents that powered it began to cool. The computer handled it by steadily shrinking the dome to accomodate the lower power levels, and picking people (apparently at random) and manipulating their thoughts into walking out in the toxic atmosphere to die (and erasing all memory of them from the minds of all those that remained), thus reducing the drain on the dome's resources. By the time SG-1 arrived, some 200 years after this began, the dome was losing power at approximately 4% a day. (Revisions)
    • The natives named their stargate "the gate of Mahg Mar&quotwhen they discovered it 563 years before SG-1's arrival (circa 1440 by our calendar). It was believed to have been of ritual significance in the worship of the goddess Morrigan. It was taken from the ruins of Danaan and put on display in the national museum of history. (Revisions)
    • All the locals were connected to a central computer via "the link", a direct neural interface with the databank (consisting of a small, vaguely rounded-boomerang-shaped piece of metal that self-attached to the wearer's left temple). (Revisions)
      • The databank contained all the knowledge of their civilization -- history, culture, science, etc. -- instantly available to anyone wearing a link. (Revisions)
      • Since the link had so much information, the natives had only a small book library left -- not particularly well maintained, with books just piled all over the place. It included legal documents from before the dome was established. (Revisions)
    • After Sam and the rest of SG-1 figured out that the computer was in its own way controlling the minds of the locals, they took steps to interfere, in order to save everyone's lives -- the dome was collapsing quickly, and the locals would have all been dead soon. They basically suborned Pallan (showed him proof of the computer's manipulation, and got him to reprogram it), who gained access to the computer's main program, and began rewriting it a bit, enough so that his people went with SG-1 and the backup SG team sent through the gate. They left the planet before the dome could collapse utterly. (Revisions)

      Known Dome-dwellers:

      • Evalla: Married to Pallan. The two of them took in Sam and Daniel when SG-1 arrived, and sort of split them between them. Evalla took Daniel, showing him the library the next day and helping him to translate the books he found there. (Revisions)
      • Kendrick: Nevin's father; a gardener. He was the first adult to greet SG-1, and brought them to meet the council. He offered to put up Jack and Teal'c for the night. After seeing Nevin's fascination with Jack, and enthusiasm for the idea of exploring, Kendrick asked Jack and Teal'c to take the two of them to Earth when they left; he wanted his son to grow up with sky and clouds that weren't part of a computer-generated illusion. Before they could, the computer reworked his and Nevin's memories, so the idea of leaving was as unwelcome to them as to everyone else in the town. (Revisions)
      • Nevin: A young boy, around 9; Kendrick's son. He was the first to discover SG-1 after they passed through the energy barrier, and led them to the local town (after trading the information for wearing Jack's hazmat suit). When he found out that Jack (and the others, but mostly Jack) had been to many worlds, he decided he wanted to be an explorer when he grew up. Although his father actually asked Jack and Teal'c to take the two of them through the gate when they left, the computer got there first, and reworked Nevin's thoughts so he was convinced he wanted to be a gardener when he grew up, like his father. (Revisions)
      • Pallan: Married to Evalla. The two of them took in Sam and Daniel when SG-1 arrived, and sort of split them between them. Pallan took Sam along with him to work the next day; he was one of the technicians who maintained the generators -- or so he believed. He never knew that the computer was almost constantly changing his memory, so that he never noticed how the readings were changing, or what danger the town was in. After the computer chose Evalla to walk outside to conserve resources for the rest, he forgot her completely when it reset everyone's memories so it was like she'd never existed. After Sam and Daniel convinced him that the computer had been manipulating his mind, he helped them by reprogramming it so everyone in the town would have a chance to escape through the stargate. (Revisions)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Individual episodes:
    • Revisions:
      • Teal'c's been in the US and in steady contact with native speakers, including Jack, a highly idiomatic speaker, for six years or more at this point, speaking almost nothing but English himself the whole time -- he should know what "out of the woods&quotmeans.
        • Possible spackling: he was still pretty out of it, and it could just be that his grasp of idiom had slipped for the moment. But it was still odd.

July 15, 2003

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Fragile Balance
  • Added arcs for Drey'auc, Rya'c, and Ferretti; deleted arc for SG-11
  • did more streamlining on the Continuity page, to make it easier to read.
• Updated Episodes, Writers, and Directors through Fragile Balance
• Added to SG-1 Details:
  • Jack:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Born: Seventh-season prop canon has it as October 20, 1952. The year flatly contradicts the aired/spoken canon from first season, where Jack says he's 40 in 1997. Spoken canon carries far more weight than prop canon, so his birth year is 1957. But since we've never gotten any other actual birthday, October 20 is as close to canon as we've got unless someone says otherwise on the show. (Fragile Balance)
      • Vehicle:
        • As of seventh season, has switched to an even bigger truck -- a black F-350 (a Lariat, at a guess from poking around the Ford site, but I'm no expert on trucks. It's definitely an F-350, though.) (Fragile Balance)
      • Career:
        • Pre-SGC:
          • 1991: Served in the Gulf War with Harlan Beck, in Operation Proven Force out of Incirlik. Jack very possibly ran the operation, but he never quite says so explicitly. Apparently already a full colonel at the time (although it's possible he was a lt. colonel). (Fragile Balance)
      • Severe injuries:
        • (Clone Jack was made "wrong&quotdeliberately; Loki didn't want any of the human clones he created to survive. They were meant to last only for a week or so before cellular degeneration started accelerating and shutting down their vital systems. (Fragile Balance))
      • Possessions/controlled:
        • Not technically either (being possessed or controlled), but he was cloned; the clone body matured rapidly to its mid-teens, and is now maturing at a normal rate. The clone has the mind and memories of the full-grown Jack O'Neill, although as of the moment of cloning they obviously begin to diverge. (Fragile Balance)
      • Food preferences:

        • Chinese takeout (Fragile Balance)

        • Pepperoni pizza (Fragile Balance)

        • Cheese burritos (Fragile Balance)

        • Guacamole, salsa (Fragile Balance)

      • Misc.:

        • Not a neat freak; had left a couple days' worth of takeout boxes and leftovers (pizza and Chinese food) and beer bottles (and a wine bottle) on his dining room table, and his china cabinet door was slightly ajar. He also apparently hadn't cleaned out his fridge in a while. (Fragile Balance)

        • Sleeps in an AF t-shirt, sweatpants, and socks or bare feet. (Fragile Balance)

        • His DNA is slightly different than the human norm, enough to make him able to carry the knowledge of the Ancients in his mind (in Fifth Race). All the Asgard found out about this the first time he showed up there (again, in Fifth Race), and his DNA had a marker put on it to prevent genetic tampering. It turns out his DNA wasn't advanced enough to help the Asgard figure out the problems they were having with having over-cloned themselves, though. (Fragile Balance)

        • Clone!Jack:

          • He was created by Loki in an unsanctioned experiment, as Loki tried to solve the Asgards's problem with over-cloning themselves. Like the other clones Loki created, he was designed to fail after a short time; he was basically only meant to survive for a week, being sent back to Earth and living the original Jack's life and then switching places back again (to Loki's ship) and dying of slow cellular degeneration. (Fragile Balance)
          • Unlike Loki's other human clone experiments, the Jack clone didn't mature completely, as a result of a marker placed in the original Jack's DNA to prevent genetic manipulation. (Fragile Balance)
          • Despite his apparent age of approx. 15, the clone was functionally Jack, with all of Jack's experience and memories, and he had no idea he was anything other than the one and only Jack O'Neill. (Fragile Balance)
          • On finding out what had actually happened to him, and hearing the plan to intercept Loki's transporter beam to apprehend the Asgard who'd cloned the original Jack, clone!Jack offered up a new plan -- arming him so he could complete the transfer and take out the Asgard on the other end. Hammond okayed it, and the plan went without a hitch, as clone!Jack zatted first Loki then the apparatus holding him suspended in mid-air. (Fragile Balance)
          • Thor interceded on Jack's request, and fixed the genetic faults in clone!Jack to prevent the cellular degeration Loki had built in, and left the clone as a "normal&quotteenager, who would mature at the usual rate, but still with Jack's mind and memories. (Fragile Balance)
          • After Thor sorted out his DNA, clone!Jack chose to make a clean break with his former life, going back to high school to start fresh. This is probably the last contact he ever had with original Jack; he voluntarily cut off all contact after original!Jack dropped him off at the school, because it would be too "weird&quotto stay in touch; original!Jack definitely agreed. The Air Force had set clone!Jack up so he was unlikely to need any help with anything. (Fragile Balance)
  • Daniel:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Languages:
      • Definitely can't speak: Chinese (at least one dialect/version) (Fragile Balance)
• Added to SGC:
• Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
  • Levels:
    • Level 16:
      • Secure holding cells:
        • Cells have no bathroom, just a metal toilet and sink in the room, along with a cot, a table with a lamp, and a large storage unit. (Fragile Balance)
• Technology:
  • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
    • F-302: Formerly the X-302; became an active fighter (rather than experimental) as of at least Homecoming.
      • "A space-worthy fighter-interceptor aircraft reverse-engineered from Goa'uld technology."(Fragile Balance)
      • The first crop of pilots being trained for it consisted of 10 men and 2 women, known as the 1st SFW, aka the Snakeskinners. See 1st SFW for composition and mission details. (Fragile Balance)
      • Jack has flown the F-302 more than anyone else as of Fragile Balance (he was effectively the only first-seat test pilot during the X-302 phase, and was the first-seat pilot on the F-302's first mission, against Anubis). (Fragile Balance)
      • Supplied with inertial dampening systems, to reduce the effects of G-forces. (Fragile Balance)
        • They only compensate 90% when pulling negative Gs. (Fragile Balance)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • SG-1:
      • SG-1 members are captured, confined, or imprisoned:
        • Fragile Balance (Jack kidnapped and held by Loki; clone Jack confined in a secure holding cell on Level 16 on base until he could prove his identity.)
  • New section: SG fighter wings:
    • General info:
      • SFW = stargate fighter wing? space fighter wing? It's never made clear, so I'm going with "stargate&quotfor now, to keep it more connected to the ground SG units.
      • The first wing was formed after the X-302 became the active fighter-interceptor called the F-302.
    • 1st SFW (aka the Snakeskinners:
      • 12-man wing, and at least when it started out, it included two women. Wing leader isn't made clear, but there's at least one major and two captains in the group (one of the captains is female). (Fragile Balance)
        • On their right arms, below their SGC patch (where SG-1 wears the AF patch), they wear a Snakeskinner 1st SFW patch (specifically a scroll). The top part of this (the actual scroll part) is white edged in either black or AF blue (hard to tell, but it looks blue to me), and bears the word Snakeskinners in the same black/AF blue (using the Stargate font). "Hanging" down from the center of this is an AF-blue (or black...) rectangle that says 1st SFW in white. (Fragile Balance)
        • On the right front chest, opposite their name badge, they wear a round F-302 badge (a seal). The seal has a white border and black background, with a silver-grey F-302 in full flight heading off to the left of the seal as you look at it, with a fire-trail looping back and up behind it (deep orange-red at the craft, shading to medium orange a short distance out from the craft, shading to yellow, shading to what appears to be white at the far tip of the trail). The F-302's wings are sticking out slightly beyond the round edge of the seal. In the space between the top edge of the craft and the curve of the exhaust trail is a bold, white F-302. There are words in white across the bottom of the seal, but I can't read them. (Three letters/symbols, then a wing cutting through, then four letters or symbols.) (Fragile Balance)
      • First mission was dubbed "Operation Blue Phoenix"-- a live-fire combat simulation to test how well the F-302 fares against actual death gliders. (Fragile Balance)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Military:
    • Pentagon/other military:
      • Lt. Colonel Harlan "Harley&quotBeck: Not Pentagon. During the Gulf War (in 1991), as a lieutenant, he served under Jack in Operation Proven Force out of Incirlik; he flew an AC-130 gunship over Baghdad. As of 2003, he was serving with the 10th Air Base Wing at the Air Force Academy. (Fragile Balance)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Technology:
    • Advanced cryogenic techniques. (Possibly the same as Hathor was using in Out of Mind when she tried to convince Jack, Sam, and Daniel that they'd been frozen for more than 70 years?) (Fragile Balance)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Asgard:
    • Culture:
      • General info:
        • All the Asgard know about Jack: he's legendary among them. His ability to contain the knowledge of the Ancients (Fifth Race) marked him as a step forward along the human evolutionary parth. To safeguard him, the Asgard placed a marker in his DNA to prevent genetic manipulation. They had hoped he was a link between human and Asgard that could help solve the problem of the Asgards's having over-cloned themselves, but he wasn't. (Fragile Balance)
      • Known Asgard:
        • Loki: God of mischief in human mythology. The Asgard Loki is a renegade. He was a geneticist with the Asgard ruling council, but was stripped of his stature [sic] after he was caught performing unsanctioned experiments on humans. He was attempting to advance the Asgard cloning technology, using the human physical makeup (which is similar to the Asgards' original form) as a template, he had hoped to create a clone that could contain an Asgards's intellect. He failed. (Fragile Balance)
          • His experiments included making clones of humans and sending the clones to take their places for a week, then recalling the clones and returning the humans, mostly none the wiser (they seem to have remembered at least the early stages of their abduction and experimentation, but didn't realize they'd been cloned and replaced for a week). The clones were designed to fail after about a week, dying soon after as a result of massive cellular degeration and total system shutdown as a result. (Fragile Balance)
          • He risked coming back to Earth after 19 years -- slipping away in the confusion and mass motion of the Asgard fight with the Replicators and then relocation of their home space when the Replicators were massed on the homeworld -- because he believed that Jack was the key to his cloning hopes. Jack's ability to be a repository for the Ancients's database in Fifth Race was something that no human a generation ago could have done, marking Jack as a significant step forward on the evolutionary ladder. He was legendary among the Asgard as a result, and Loki couldn't resist finding out if this was the break he'd been waiting for. He was truly trying to save his people, but using highly unethical methods to do so. (Fragile Balance)
          • He was really worried/scared when Jack and SG-1 called for Thor to help them sort everything out. (Fragile Balance)
        • Thor:
          • Arrived on Loki's ship after Jack and Sam called him from there, to help sort out the mess with clone!Jack and explain why Loki had gone after Jack in the first place (his genetic code, which was a step along the human evolutionary ladder). (Fragile Balance)
          • He was basically indifferent (not cruel or deliberately unkind, just... indifferent) to the fate of clone!Jack, and was surprised that original!Jack wanted the clone to be saved. But he went along and fixed the genetic problem that was causing cellular degeration, and did whatever was necessary to get past the genetic marker in Jack's DNA so the clone could age properly, leaving him as a "normal&quotteenage boy (with Jack's mind and memories). (Fragile Balance)
    • Biology:
      • Can be knocked out by a zat blast. (Fragile Balance)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Props:
    • ID cards:
      • Entity:
        • Sam's ID card that the Entity scans has her birthday as December 29, 1968. December 29 is definitely wrong; we have aired canon that her birthday is in May (in Ascension, Orlin gives her an emerald because it's her birthstone). The year is very probably also wrong; it makes her very, very young for her position. She would have had to have made major at 29, which is nearly impossible; you're supposed to be in the AF for about 12 years before making major, and she managed to also get in enough schooling to get a doctorate during that period. She's more likely to have been born in the mid-60s than the late-60s.
      • Fragile Balance:
        • The ID card that Sam looks at gives Jack's birthday as October 20, 1952. This flatly contradicts spoken canon of first season; Jack's birth year was established in Brief Candle, when he clearly said he was 40 (in 1997) to Kynthia while trying to convince her how much older he was than anyone she'd ever known. So he was probably born in 1957, or possibly late 1956. Spoken canon always outweighs prop canon, so 1957(ish) it is.
  • Episodes:
    • Fragile Balance:
      • Jack can't possibly be the only human with the "new&quotgenetic structure, the evolutionary twist that made him able to contain the knowledge of the Ancients for a while. If he is, he's doing a lousy job of passing the mutation along, but really, it makes no sense that it's just him. What are the odds that the one human capable of holding the information would have stumbled across the Ancients's depository? He has to just be the only human with that mutation that the Asgard have come across.

June 30, 2003

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Homecoming
  • Added arc for Baal
• Updated Episodes, Writers, and Directors through Homecoming
• Added to SG-1 Details:
  • Jack:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Confirmed kills:
        • Took out two death gliders, killing at least two Jaffa, possibly four. (Fallen)
      • Misc.:

        • Held on to some of Daniel's more personal things after Daniel Ascended, including a framed picture of Sha're. (Fallen)

        • Has pictures of Charlie taped up in his locker. (Fallen)

  • Daniel:
  • General info:
    • "Descended"-- returned to human form, very probably against his will -- after attempting to face Anubis down himself (it's not clear how long afterward he was returned to human). He was returned with no active memory of who he was or what had happened to him, and was found by nomads on a planet once belonging to the Ancients. A couple of months later (he had been found "two moons ago"), he was found by SG-3, led by Colonel Reynolds, and brought to SG-1; he still didn't remember any of them, or his former life, at all. He chose to go with them all anyway, and was brought back to the SGC to regain his memory and take his place on SG-1 again. (Fallen)
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Housing:
      • Housed at least temporarily on the base in one of the VIP quarters on Level 25 (possibly in 2513-18; the numbers weren't completely clear, I could be off on this), which had been set up with various of his old belongings (books, artifacts, etc) to make him feel more at home and spark more memories. Jack had also hung on to some of his more personal items (e.g., a framed photo of Sha're), and added them (or had them added) to the room. (Fallen)
    • Career:
      • Returned to the SGC after descending from the higher plane and re-integrating with SG-1. (Fallen)
    • Confirmed deaths:
      • Returned a final time, in human form, after either the Others or Oma apparently cast him out. He had no active memory of who he had been, although the memories were still there, waiting to return (eventually). His death is officially ended. (Fallen)
    • Misc.:
      • After descending, he was found naked by a group of nomads, who named him "Arrom"-- "naked one". A couple of months later (he had been found "two moons ago"), he was found by SG-3, led by Colonel Reynolds, and brought to SG-1; he still didn't remember any of them, or his former life, at all. He chose to go with them all anyway, and was brought back to the SGC to regain his memory and take his place on SG-1 again. (Fallen)
        • His first regained memory was Sha're's name. (Fallen)
  • Teal'c:
  • General info:
    • After losing Junior, Teal'c was unable to kelno'reem as he used to. (Fallen)
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Housing:
      • As of seventh season (at least), had added a large plant, which sat atop a tall cabinet and trailed leaves more than halfway down it, and a smaller (but not small) potted plant on top of his tv, with another on a smaller cabinet. The room was much greener and more comfortable-looking, with a few lamps scattered around as well. Also had a (metal) desk, with a bulletin board propped above it, mostly covered in neatly arranged papers. (Fallen)
    • Career:
      • Successfully negotiated an alliance with Yu to combine SGC and Goa'uld forces against Anubis (Fallen); when Yu was too ill to carry through, he managed, working with Yu's First Prime Oshu, to renegotiate the deal with Baal. (Homecoming)
    • Misc.:
    • Junior:
      • After losing Junior, Teal'c was unable to kelno'reem as he used to. (Fallen)
    • Meditation:
      • Continued to try to meditate (complete with dozens of candles), but could no longer kelno'reem after losing Junior. (Fallen)
• Added to Jonas:
  • General info:
    • Left the SGC to return to Kelowna after Daniel's return. He was no longer considered a traitor; he was going back to be the Kelownan representative on the Joint Ruling Council with the Tiranians and Andaris, at those two countries's insistence. (Homecoming)
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Career:
      • Left the SGC to return to Kelowna after Daniel's return. He was no longer considered a traitor; he was going back to be the Kelownan representative on the Joint Ruling Council with the Tiranians and Andaris, at those two countries's insistence. (Homecoming)
    • Misc.:
      • Interrogated by Anubis, who used his huge (relatively speaking) mind probe on him, to no apparent physical ill effect on Jonas. (Homecoming)
        • Anubis took the information from Jonas's mind and used it to find Kelowna and its stores of naquadria. (Homecoming)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• As of the beginning of seventh season (2003), less than a quarter of the new gate addresses that Jack programmed into the computer while under the influence of the Ancients's database had had probes sent to them. (Fallen)
• Timeline:
  • 2003: Along with the Tok'ra, the SGC formed a temporary alliance with the Goa'uld, first through Yu and later through Baal, to join forces to destroy Anubis's flagship. (Homecoming)
• Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
  • Levels:
    • Level 25:
      • Daniel housed on level 25 after he returned with amnesia; possibly in 2513-18 (the numbers weren't completely clear, I could be off on this). (Fallen)
• Technology:
  • Other alien:
    • Tok'ra communicators, designed to penetrate Tok'ra tunnels. They don't appear to use them often, relying on regular radios instead, but they have them. (Homecoming)
  • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
    • X-302:
      • As of at least the beginning of seventh season, was apparently in production as a working fighter plane, and had been renamed the F-302, even though the hyperspace generator was still fairly unreliable. (Fallen)
        • A short, controlled burst of the hyperspace generator can get the F-302 within a Goa'uld ship's shields (or at least within Anubis's flagship's shields). (Fallen)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • SG-1:
      • Makeup:
        • Regained Daniel after he descended and started getting his memory back, but promptly lost Jonas, who returned to Kelowna to be the Kelownan representative on the new Joint Ruling Council (a planetary council). (Homecoming)
      • Locker room:
        • Seventh season: for no apparent reason, back in a public locker room (with swinging doors). Not clear what floor it's on. (Fallen)
      • SG-1 members captured, confined, imprisoned:
        • Fallen (Teal'c confined by Yu's First Prime, Oshu; Jonas zatted and captured by Anubis's Jaffa.)
        • Homecoming (Jonas still held by Anubis; Sam and Teal'c captured by Jaffa; entire team (including both Daniel and Jonas) captured by Herak and a whole lotta Jaffa as a result of Commander Hale's betrayal.)
    • SG-3:
      • Led by Colonel Reynolds (clearly, SG-3 is definitely no longer a Marine unit, since Reynolds is AF) and including one woman, SG-3 was one of the units that went with SG-1 to a planet they hoped would be the Ancients' "Lost City". SG-3 found Daniel, and brought him to meet SG-1. (Fallen)
    • SG-5: (...) Was one of the units that went with SG-1 to a planet they hoped would be the Ancients's "Lost City". (Fallen)
    • SG-11: (...) On Jack's request, assigned to be one of two teams of "technical advisors&quotto the Kelownans during the fight against Anubis there. (Homecoming)
    • SG-15: (...) On Jack's request, the team was assigned to be one of two teams of "technical advisors&quotto the Kelownans during the fight against Anubis there. (Homecoming)
    • SG-16: (...) No longer led by Major Reynolds as of Fallen (and no idea who is in command at that point).
  • SG personnel:
    • Sgt. Davis: Made it offworld for the first time to be part of the command/control center that was coordinating the attack on Anubis. (Fallen)
    • Hammond:
      • Career:
        • Made it offworld for the third time to be part of the command/control center that was coordinating the attack on Anubis. (Fallen)
    • Reynolds: (...) Appears to have transferred from SG-15 to SG-3 (no idea why). With his team, he went with SG-1 to a planet they hoped would be the Ancients's "Lost City"; he and his team were the ones who found Daniel, and brought him to meet SG-1. (Fallen)
    • Major Robbins: A member (leader?) of either SG-11 or SG-15; he was on Kelowna during Anubis's "visit&quotthere. (Homecoming)
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • Culture:
    • The Syste
  • Political structure:
    • A defeate
  • System Lords:
    • Anubis:
      • After gaining the Eye of Ra, by all reports Anubis began quickly conquering the other System Lords. (Fallen)
      • Protects his computer systems with elaborate cyphers, coded in the oldest known Ancient dialect. (Fallen)
      • After the destruction of his flagship's super new weapon's power core, Anubis probed the captured Jonas's mind to get information (Fallen), which led him to Kelowna and its supply of naquadria, which Anubis had known nothing about. He appeared with no warning, and took most of the High Council hostage. The Kelownans didn't give in to his demands, so he killed the First Minister and fired a volley into the city's industrial sector, destroying many factories and killing many innocent civilians. After that, the Kelownans gave him all their naquadria, as he'd demanded. After that, rather than leave, he began rounding up archaeologists, and then had his troops ransacking the Museum of Antiquities, where Jonas would have remembered an exhibit of bits and pieces of leftover Goa'uld items. (Homecoming)
      • Anubis had at least one scientist-Goa'uld on board his vessel; this unnamed Goa'uld studied the naquadria and attempted to make it stable enough to work with. He failed, and then couldn't abort the test of the ship's weapon. The weapon overloaded (again), and Herak killed him on Anubis' command. (Homecoming)
      • He chose to leave Jonas alive after the interrogation because he'd noticed something odd about his physiology (or, more likely, found mention in Jonas's mind of what Nirrti had said and done to him). (Homecoming)
      • Between two explosions in the weapon's core, and a concerted attack from the remnants of the System Lords' fleet, Anubis's ship literally fell apart while trying to escape Kelowna's gravity. (Homecoming)
      • Anubis escaped the destruction of his ship in a small, round ship -- lifepod, escape craft, whatever. It was hyperspace-capable, whatever it was. (Homecoming)
      • Anubis's tech:
        • Flagship:
          • The weapon's power core must be cooled by a ventilation shaft on the exterior of the ship. Destroying the ventilation shaft just as the weapon is powering up would overheat the crystals and destroy them. (Fallen)
          • The explosion would not be sufficient to destroy the ship, just the weapon. (Fallen)
          • Jack, with Sam in the F-302, managed to get off two rockets into the ventilation shaft at the right moment, and overloaded the weapon's core. (Fallen)
    • Baal:
      • Participated in the concerted (failed) attack against Anubis over Abydos. (Homecoming)
      • Survived the debacle above Abydos, when Anubis used his superweapon to take out many attacking motherships. He was also part of the later fleet Yu had assembled to help the SGC ambush Anubis (at first on an Ancient world, and later over Kelowna), and after Yu was too ill to carry through, he agreed to take command of the fleet, on Teal'c's and Oshu's urging (manipulation, more like, but it worked). (Homecoming)
        • Fascinatingly, at first Baal was more focused on the fact that Oshu had dared judge his "god&quotunfit to lead the fleet, totally ignoring the position of power and leadership being offered to him. It wasn't until Teal'c suggested Bastet as an alternative and Oshu agreed that Baal focused on the matter at hand, and agreed to take over the fleet. (Homecoming)
    • Bastet:
      • (...) Participated in the concerted (failed) attempt against Anubis above Abydos during Full Circle; survived the debacle, when Anubis used his superweapon to take out many attacking motherships. She was also part of the later fleet that was cooperating with the SGC to ambush Anubis (at first on an Ancient world, and later over Kelowna), and Teal'c mentioned her as another possible System Lord to contact about taking over the fleet when Baal seemed uninterested. (Homecoming)
    • Yu:
      • Oldest of the System Lords. (Homecoming) (NB: This statement is made after many System Lords have died, including Cronus, Ra, Apophis, Nirrti, Hathor, and Heru'ur. It's not clear whether Yu was the oldest of the System Lords before these deaths.)
      • Survived the debacle above Abydos, when Anubis used his superweapon to take out many attacking motherships. (Homecoming)
      • Agreed to ally with the SGC when Teal'c brought him a plan that could take down Anubis. Yu rallied the remaining System Lords' fleet for the attack, and the fleet headed for the planet that was being set as a trap. Before they could reach it, Yu ordered that the fleet change course for Chodawa -- across the galaxy. He truly believed that that's where Anubis was. (Fallen) He was very ill, and was spending most of his time in the sarcophagus. He had become increasingly paranoid and confused, he babbled to himself, and he forgot key details of things like battle plans. (Homecoming)
  • Biology:
    • Not immortal, even with the help of the sarcophagus. Yu, oldest of the System Lords, eventually began suffering a form of dementia and having to spend most of his time in the sarcophagus just to survive. His First Prime believed him incapable of taking another host. (It's not clear if the dementia is a result of the symbiote's aging, or of its having spent too long inside one host, which finally couldn't take the strain any longer.) (Homecoming)
  • Language:
    • gal a'quel: (probably "hand it over" -- a Jaffa says this to Sam and holds his hand out, waiting for her to give him a crystal) (Homecoming)
    • Kel nor shol ak'ra. Reltac. Tel shek anfar, tel nor moklan n'ral. (apparently, instructions on finding and moving canisters; a Jaffa says this to two other Jaffa who grab things out of a storage room and remove them. But for all I know, "Ak'ra&quotand "N'ral&quotare actually the two Jaffas's names.) (Homecoming)
    • Sarit: (probably something like "listen" -- a Jaffa says it to two other Jaffa when he appears to sense something [Daniel, hiding] in a warehouse). (Homecoming)
    • shel-norak: (Possibly "surrender", "lower your weapons", "don't try it", etc. -- a Jaffa says it to Teal'c [who had just drawn a zat] after he and his squad have surrounded Teal'c, Sam, and Ambassador Dreylock; Teal'c and Sam lower their weapons and surrender) (Homecoming)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Culture:
    • The Tok'ra took part in the big battle against Anubis by providing information -- as much as possible about Anubis' new ship and weapon (which wasn't much, since their operative couldn't get aboard the new ship, and the Tok'ra couldn't crack the encryption codes Anubis used to protect his computer systems), and by planting the fake tablet leading to the planet where Daniel had descended, which the Tok'ra, the SGC, and the remaining System Lords had set up as a trap. (Fallen)
  • Technology:
    • Holographic projector: a small domed metallic object (about the size of a doughnut, but taller and half a sphere, rather than a thick circle) that when activated emits a three-dimensional, golden hologram of whatever it is. The image can move (rotate, etc.), in whole or in part, within the projection. (Seth, Fallen)
    • Radioactive isotope that, when injected, would allow someone to move freely around Anubis's ship (and possibly any other Goa'uld ship) undetected by ship's internal sensors for eight hours. (Fallen)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Herak: (...) On Anubis's orders, he killed the scientist-Goa'uld who had tried (and failed) to make naquadria stable enough to be used to power Anubis' superweapon. Later, he took SG-1 and everyone else in the Kelownan bunker prisoner (so they could be publicly executed), after first killing Commander Hale, who had betrayed them all to Anubis (and therefore to Herak). Herak escaped the ensuing battle in the bunker through the stargate, to an unknown destination. (Homecoming)
    • Oshu: (NB: I'm guessing on the name, from the credits. I could be wrong.) Yu's First Prime. He was intensely, and very personally, loyal to Yu, and it seemed to grieve him that Yu was slowly losing control of his faculties. When Yu mistakenly ruined the plans to ambush Anubis by becoming convinced Anubis was somewhere else, Oshu went to the confined Teal'c and explained the situation, then agreed to work with Teal'c to bring another System Lord into the deal, knowning that what mattered most to Yu was the destruction of Anubis. Yu's gradual decline was starting to convince Oshu that even the gods weren't immortal; when Teal'c said the Goa'uld weren't gods, Oshu admitted that a few weeks earlier he would have struck him down for making such a statement, but that he no longer could. Teal'c got him to agree to go to Baal for help ambushing Anubis, to keep Lord Yu from being remembered as the fool who allowed Anubis to conquer everything. He wasn't happy about it, though, believing that no other System Lord could be trusted. Nevertheless, he was determined to do whatever was necessary to destroy Anubis, because he believed that to be in his master's best interest. (Homecoming)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Ancients:
    • The plague that wiped most of the race out began in the city of Vis Uban ("Place of Great Power"). It was going to be the crown jewel of the entire Ancient domain, except the plague broke out while it was still under construction, and it had to be abandoned. (Fallen)
      • The ruins of the city were covered in extensive writings, all in the oldest dialect of the Ancients (not sure why, if this was their newest city). (Fallen)
  • Ascendants:
    • Culture:
      • Known Ascendants:
        • Oma Desala:
          • Possibly the one who "descended"Daniel; if it was her, she buried his memories so deep they didn't start showing up for two months or more, when the SGC finally found him and brought him back home, surrounding him with familiar things to help him remember. It's not clear why she didn't just strip the memories away entirely (as always, Oma has her own agenda). (Fallen)
      • "Adopted" Ascendants:
        • Daniel:
          • "Descended&quotsome time after his attempted interference with Anubis, very probably against his will by either Oma or the Others, and left naked, alone, and with no memory on a planet that used to belong to the Ancients. Found by nomads who welcomed him into their tribe, then a couple months later found by SG teams exploring the planet and ruins. He returned to the SGC to regain his memory and rejoin SG-1.
          • For further information, see SG-1 or Daniel. (Fallen)
• Added to Misc. Humans:
  • Kelownans: (...)
    • General info:
      • The Tiranians and Andaris began airstrikes against Kelowna, as the Kelownans had feared. The Kelownans moved their stargate to a bunker hundreds of feet below an army base to protect it. (Homecoming)
        • The Kelownans survived their civil war with Tirania and Andaria -- by using the naquadria bomb. Ambassador Dreylock's comment was that "everyone immediately regretted it&quotbecause the devastation was so much worse than anyone had imagined. The result was a whole lot of dead people, and a cease-fire on all sides. (Homecoming)
        • Delegates from Tirania (Ambassador Sevarin) and Andari (Ambassador Noor) had just arrived in the city for peace negotiations when Anubis arrived. (Homecoming)
        • The Kelownans never told the Tiranians and Andaris about the stargate, hoping that it wouldn't be necessary. (Homecoming)
        • A Kelownan spy had reported back that the Tiranians had been working on a naquadria bomb of their own for three years; it turns out they had no naquadria of their own, but instead had stolen some from the Andaris. (Homecoming)
      • Fell under attack by Anubis after he mind-probed Jonas and found out about Kelowna's stores of naquadria. (Homecoming)
        • Anubis appeared without warning and began taking High Council members hostage; when the Kelownans wouldn't give in to his demands, he killed the First Minister (?supposed to be the High Minister?) and fired a volley into the industrial sector, destroying many factories and killing innocent civilians. He sent about a thousand Jaffa into the streets. (Homecoming)
        • The Kelownans gave in after the deaths, giving Anubis their entire stockpile of naquadria, as he'd demanded. (Homecoming)
          • This was the last of the Kelownan naquadria; the mine had run dry. (Homecoming)
        • On Jack and Sam's insistence, Commander Hale and Ambassador Dreylock brought Ambassadors Sevarin (Tiranian) and Noor (Andari) to the bunker, to tell them about the stargate and give them more details about what was going on; Jack refused to approve any plan to help the Kelownans without the full support of all three major powers on the planet. (Homecoming)
          • The two ambassadors were reluctant to agree at first, thinking that because their countries weren't currently under attack, they'd be safe. (Homecoming)
        • After rounding up all the archaeologists they could find, Jaffa began ransacking the Museum of Antiquities, looking for things from the exhibit that had been there before the civil war: an exhibit of Goa'uld artifacts from the distant past, including tablets that said that the Goa'uld who originally occupied the planet was working with naquadria, and a crystal that could have contained his notes and test results. (Homecoming)
    • Kelownan stargate:
      • Originally found a ring platform when they uncovered the stargate; they stuck it in with the other Goa'uld artifacts in a museum, where it was later moved to a warehouse. It hadn't been used in more than 2,000 years, but still functioned perfectly when Daniel and Jonas used it to ring down to Kelowna from Anubis' ship. (Homecoming)
    • Known Kelownans:
      • Ambassador Dreylock: (...) Made the call to Earth to get help when Anubis appeared and began attacking. She acceded to SGC demands that the other powers on the planet be informed about the stargate and the full extent of the situation. She also offered to lead Sam and Teal'c to the warehouse where the artifacts from an exhibit at the Museum of Antiquities were being stored -- including a crystal that Anubis was trying to lay his hands on. (Homecoming)
      • Commander Hale: (...) He acceded (reluctantly) to SGC demands that the other powers on the planet be informed about the stargate and the full extent of the situation after Anubis attacked Kelowna; he clearly still didn't trust them much, and was still pretty partisan in his views. At some point, he betrayed SG-1 and the other SG teams, and the Tiranian and Andari ambassadors and people, making a private deal with Anubis to ensure Kelowna's safety. As soon as he'd handed over the crystal that Anubis wanted, Herak shot him dead. (Homecoming)
      • Jonas Quinn: (...) After a year or so with the SGC (see SG-1 and Jonas), Jonas returned to Kelowna to be the Kelownan representative on the new Joint Ruling Council -- a council made up of representatives from Kelowna, Tirania, and Andari. The other two major powers wouldn't agree to the council unless Jonas was the Kelownan rep. (Homecoming)
    • Relations with Earth:
      • Once again made contact to re-open relations when they found themselves in a dangerous situation, calling for help after Anubis appeared over Kelowna's capital city and began his push to raid/conquer. (Homecoming)
      • On Earths' insistence (via Jack and Sam), the Kelownans informed the Tiranians and Andaris about the stargate and what was going on. (Homecoming)
      • The SGC couldn't send forces in any real number to help, but in addition to SG-1 (and the temporary alliance with the other System Lords), sent SGs 11 and 15 as "technical advisors" to help with the thousand or so Jaffa who had occupied the city. (Homecoming)
  • Nomads:
    • Planet name and SGC designation unknown. Race name unknown. (Fallen)
    • They were a tribe/clan/group of nomads who apparently wandered through the stargate system. (Fallen)
      • They called the stargate a chaap'ai, so at some point they had had contact with the Goa'uld or at least Jaffa; they also immediately recognized Teal'c as Jaffa. (Fallen)
    • Their clothing consisted mainly of desert-robe style things, in shades of blue and grey. (Fallen)
    • Three of the tribemen discovered Daniel just as he was returned to human form; they named him "Arrom"(naked one) when he couldn't tell them his name. "Two moons&quotlater, SGC teams (at least three, including SG-1, SG-3, and SG-5) arrived on the planet looking for the Ancients' "Lost City", and found the nomads and "Arrom". (Fallen)
    • The tribe was relocated to another (unknown) world so that the SGC could set up their planet as a trap against Anubis. (Fallen)

    Known Nomads:

    • Shamda: Tribal elder and storyteller. He had a story for any occasion, and was more than happy to tell them to anyone who'd stand still (or walk with him) long enough for him to start in. He used them to teach the younger nomads moral lessons. (Fallen)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Individual episodes:
    • Fallen:
      • The crystals in the doorlock that Jonas disables are all wrong -- wrong colors, wrong shape, wrong glow. (Too bright, and round instead of faceted.)
        • Possible spackling: it's possible that these are Ancient crystals instead of Goa'uld.
    • Homecoming:
      • Anubis's mind probe -- I can just about buy that an Asgard could surive having that spiky thing implanted in his brain, but a human? Jonas should have come out of that "interrogation&quotwith at least some degree of brain damage.
      • Possible nitpick; Commander Hale mentions that the "First Minister&quotwas killed, but never mentions the High Minister, which is the title originally given to the highest-ranking politician, equivalent to a president or prime minister.
      • The stargate on Kelowna lit up chevron by chevron for an incoming wormhole, rather than all at once (I don't care how often they do this, it's wrong.)

June 9, 2003

• Put what I hope is a temporary fix on the Planets page for IE users, but it may be permanent. IE hates that particular frameset inside the main frameset, particularly at resolutions lower than 1024x768, but it works fine with every other browser I've tested it on. At least now it should work with IE on a 1024x monitor.

June 8, 2003

• (this is a big update; I went back over second season recently to fill in gaps throughout, since I've steadily increased the amount of info I take from episodes over the years. So this one includes all of second season, plus a few other bits and pieces.)
• Added a new page: Planets (nb: this page is not yet complete. It's missing all info from third, fourth, and fifth seasons, and a chunk of sixth. I'll be updating it further as I get to it.) (The page currently isn't working properly in IE, although it's fine in Netscape, Opera, Safari, and Phoenix. If you're using IE, maximize your browser, and if that doesn't work, go to the left side of the page and pull your cursor to the right; you should be able to pull the frames [there are two] into place.)
• Moved Apophis'sinfo from Main Characters to Goa'uld.
• Changed Main Characters page name to SG-1 Details.
• Split Misc. Races into two pages: Misc. Aliens and Misc. Humans
• Updated Continuity page
• Added to SG-1 Details:
  • Jack:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Possessions/controlled:
        • Consciousness switched into Teal'c's body, then Daniel's, and finally back into his own; his body occupied by Teal'c, then Daniel. (Holiday)
      • Misc.:
        • Started wearing prayer beads around his right wrist in Sight Unseen.
        • Bad knees/back:
          • Need ("Actually, I've got this cartilege problem, a little ACL thing"[mouthing off to the guard that wants him to drop to his knees])
  • Daniel:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Career:
      • Offered his resignation to Hammond when he was suffering the beginnings of massive withdrawal from the sarcophagus, because he wanted to go back to Shyla's planet (and the sarcophagus). (He passed out before Hammond could refuse it.) (Need)
    • Possessions/controlled:
      • Consciousness switched into Ma'chello's body, then Jack's, and finally back into his own; his body occupied by Ma'chello, then Jack. (Holiday)
    • Misc.:
      • Briefly at the top of the hierarchy in Hadante prison, after it appeared that he had killed Vishnoor, the bully who used to run the place. (Prisoners)
  • Sam:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Misc.:
      • Calls the kawoosh a vortex (Prisoners)
      • Learned to use the Goa'uld ribbon device faster than the healing device. (Thor's Chariot)
  • Teal'c:
  • Detailed breakdown:
    • Career:
      • Resigned from the SGC after being ordered to refrain from searching for the rest of SG-1, missing for three weeks while Teal'c lay unconscious. He returned to Chulak, attempting to raise an army of his own to free them (and to spark the Jaffa rebellion). (Out of Mind, Into the Fire)
    • Possessions/controlled:
      • Consciousness switched into Jack's body, then Ma'chello's, then finally back into his own; his body occupied by Jack, then Ma'chello. (Holiday)
    • Confirmed kills:
      • Ashrak in the gateroom holding Daniel hostage. (In the Line of Duty)
    • Misc.:
    • Junior died after Teal'c was forced to share it with the badly injured Bra'tac, for three days. By the end, the symbiote was too weak to take care of either of them, and both were treated with an experimental synthetic tretonin. Teal'c is entirely lacking a larval Goa'uld as of late 2002. (The Changeling)
    • First spars (boxing) in Fifth Race.
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
    • The SGC discovered a revolutionary formula for calculating the distance between planetary bodies (thanks to the repository of knowledge from the Ancients that was dumped into Jack's brain) (Fifth Race)
    • Timeline:
      • 2001: At an unspecified point during the early part of the year (or possibly late 2000), the SGC gained an offworld, active trinium mine. (see nitpicks) (Between Two Fires)
  • Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
    • In the late 1960s, the future SGC was a training facility for missile launches. (1969)
    • The facility is on internal, independent life support, which gives them the ability to adjust the oxygen levels (by adjusting the CO2 scrubbers). (Message in a Bottle)
    • Physical layout:
      • Key areas:
        • Gateroom: Level 28
    • Levels:
      • Level 12: Holding room (hroom 22) set up as an actual jail cell, with bars and guards, where Jolinar (inside Sam) was held. (In the Line of Duty)
      • Level 21:
        • Recovery rooms: 21M2-16 (so, at a guess, section M2 is for recovery, the way section K7 on level 16 is for secure holding cells) (Spirits)
      • Level 28:
        • Has three access corridors (Show and Tell)
  • Safety:
    • Defense teams go to (heavily armed) alert in the gateroom whenever there's an unauthorized traveler inbound. (multiple eps)
  • Who else knows:
    • Bane -- Dr. Timothy Harlow, the geneticist who was brought in to help when Teal'c was infested with bugs that turned him into a giant breeding nest. Harlow originally went along with Maybourne's plans to use Teal'c for research purposes, but eventually came around and "accidentally&quotdestroyed the insect and its venom, to prevent any further research.
  • Civilians connected to the program:
    • Cassie:
      • As of early second season, was still calling Janet "Janet", not "Mom". (In the Line of Duty)
      • Many, many years in the future, as an old(ish) woman, Cassie is the one to send the time-traveling SG-1 back to 1998/9 where they belonged. She didn't use the computer or a DHD; she had a small metallic device attached to the back of her hand that did the job of dialing. (1969)
  • Earth's stargates:
    • General info:
      • Nothing happens regarding the stargate without Hammond's knowing about it; he gets a report about any activity, no matter how minor or trivial (Hammond: "If a person sneezes around it, I get a report.") (Touchstone)
      • The computer system logs every action and energy fluctuation in the gate in a "meta-log", with both secondary and tertiary backups. (Touchstone)
    • Computer dialing program:
      • SG-10 dialed in, same signal analyzed code as showed up for Jack: 7062957 / 0282002 (A Matter of Time)
      • Code on an incoming traveler: 877832-333-0 (Serpent's Song)
      • For a listing of the planets visited or mentioned in the show, see the Planets page. (NB: this page is not yet complete; I began it late in sixth season, and went back to the beginning and started filling in things in order. It's going to take some time to get it finished.)
  • Technology:
    • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
      • Automatic Terrain Radar System: part of the UAV's monitoring capability, allowing for more a method to allow them to do more long-range reconaissance. (One False Step)
      • Trinium: Not tech itself, but a key part of other technology. At some point during late 2000 or early 2001, the SGC gained an offworld trinium mine.(see nitpicks) (Between Two Fires)
      • UAVs: (...) The ones used by the SGC have SGC logos painted on the underside of at least one of their wings. (One False Step)
      • X-303:
        • The hyperdrive is based on naquadriah technology, and has problems with stability. (Memento)
        • Radar was still incomplete when it was stolen, making it possible to fly through the lower bay without being detected. (Prometheus)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • General info:
      • Four-man teams, exceptions:
        • SG-11: In Spirits, during the mission to recover trinium, the team had seven members, two of them women.
      • Uniforms:
        • Offworld teams generally wear a utility vest over their BDUs, giving them lots of storage: the Omega Blackhawk Tactical Vest, Medic/Utility configuration (with thanks to H for tracking this down).
    • SG-1:
      • First real experience of having done major damage by their mere presence was One False Step, when they realized they could have caused a plague of some sort that was going to wipe out the entire local population. (One False Step)
    • SG-3: (...) Sometime in 1997, brought a small amount of raw naquadah back to the SGC. (Need) (...) While SG-3 was scouting a planet ending in -254, they found several Tok'ra, who told them where the missing SG-1 were being held prisoner. Makepeace ran the news back to the SGC to begin preparations for a rescue. During the assault/rescue, the rest of SG-3 covered the stargate while Makepeace led SGs 5, 6, and 11 into Hathor's base. (Into the Fire). (...)
    • SG-5: (...) Sometime in 1997 or early 1998, the team brought back a potential cure from Alzheimer's from an unnamed planet, which Area 51 began working on. (Touchstone) The team was offworld on a mission when the SGC first encountered the Reetou. (Show and Tell) (...)
    • SG-6: (...) On Nasya along with SG-1 when the planet came under Goa'uld attack. At least one of its members was a medic, and possibly the entire unit was a medical unit (Daniel yells for a medic; SG-6 member appears with a medical bag and helps him with a burn victim). (In the Line of Duty) (...)
    • SG-7: (...) Was one of the teams sent to rescue SG-1 when they didn't return from their mission (SG-1 had been captured by Hathor, unbeknownst to the SGC). (Out of Mind) (...)
    • SG-9: (...) The team spent two days working with Hammond to negotiate SG-1's release from Hadante, after their intitial mission to talk to the Taldor. (Prisoners). (...)
    • SG-10: One of its first (its very first?) missions was to help SG-1 scout possible relocation sites for the Nasyans. (In the Line of Duty) (...) The team's first mission (? see nitpicks) was to P3W-451; they were trying to discover the cause of the recent extinction of all life on the planet. The planet was caught in a black hole's gravity well, and the team attempted to dial home to escape. Their signal was recognized by the computer, and accepted with authorization #10245-3B. It was too late, though; they were too far inside the gravity well, and were trapped there. The whole team was lost. (A Matter of Time)
    • SG-11: One of its first (its very first?) missions was to help SG-1 scout possible relocation sites for the Nasyans. (In the Line of Duty) (...) After the discovery [of trinium on PXY-887], the team was commissioned to find more samples on the planet. The mining operation they set up reached an extraction level of 47 pounds of trinium per day (below projected estimates; the engineers wanted a fourfold increase in production). Their actions were deemed too destructive by the Salish natives and their "spirits"(aliens living as the incarnations of the locals's gods), and the team was whisked away into -- nothingness. Or something. After the situation was finally resolved, they were returned unharmed, 48 hours after they vanished. There were seven people on the team, including two women. (Spirits)
    • SG-12: One of its first (its very first?) missions was to help SG-1 scout possible relocation sites for the Nasyans. (In the Line of Duty) Went with SG-1, another SG team, Jacob, and another Tok'ra to the planet the Reetou rebels were using as a staging ground, on a recon mission to see how many were there. (Show and Tell) (...)
    • SG-14: Existed as of late 1998; was out on a mission when the SGC first encountered the Reetou. Makeup unknown at that early stage. (Show and Tell) (...)
    • SG-15: (...) Assigned to return with Sam to the planet where the Hebridans had crashed, as backup against the attacking "aliens"(actually just members of the alien half of the Hebridan mixed culture, and the original guards of the prisoners posing as the downed ship's crew). They were left to guard the stargate against any incursion by more of the aliens. (Forsaken) (...)
  • SG personnel:
    • Brecker (rank unknown): When the Reetou rebels invaded the base, Brecker was assigned with Teal'c and Rothman to sweep corridor C-3 on level 28 searching for them. (Show and Tell)
    • Chu X: (rank unknown) When the Reetou rebels invaded the base, Chu was assigned with Jacob and Sam to sweep corridor C-8 on level 28 searching for them. Died from a Reetou weapon blast during the search. (1998, Show and Tell)
    • Fraiser:
      • She's a skeptic about things like ESP and telekinesis. (Show and Tell)
      • (office at USAF Academy Hospital) Room number is probably G-438 (ard to see the number, even zoomed on the DVD) (In the Line of Duty)
    • Hammond:
      • Watched the moon landing in 1969 while sitting at his father's bedside in the hospital, two days after his father's first heart attack. (1969)
      • ID (? -- number next to his name while inputting the abort-auto-destruct code): 445-243-978-0 (Message in a Bottle)
      • Always uses a laptop as his computer, never a desktop, and always lowers the screen when anyone walks into his office. (multiple eps)
      • Boxing fan. (Secrets)
      • Career:
        • (traveled through the stargate to Chulak to recruit Teal'c and Bra'tac for help in a rescue attempt):
          • Hammond effectively went directly against orders to do this -- the president and the Joint Chiefs had made it clear that they would not approve any furhter action by SGC personnel to rescue SG-1 or the other teams on Hathor's planet. (Into the Fire)
    • Major Lowel: Has something to do with security. It was his decision to inform General Hammond that an intruder was arrested at the surface for attempting an unauthorized entrance; she (Hathor) knew about the stargate, and he sent and airman to inform Hammond. (Hathor)
    • Makepeace: (...) He led the team on the recon mission to P3X-797 (the Land of Light) to look for signs of a Goa'uld stronghold. (Broca Divide) Led SG-3 on a mission to Vorash to extract Sam when her father was dying and got himself and his unit taken "prisoner&quotlike SG-1. Later, with Jack and Sam back at the SGC, the Tok'ra began evacuating in preparation for a Goa'uld attack, and released them all; Makepeace made the call to stay behind and help with the evacuation, to help keep the potential for an eventual alliance open. (Tok'ra, part 2) While SG-3 was scouting a planet ending in -254, they found several Tok'ra, who told them where SG-1 were being held prisoner. Makepeace ran the news back to the SGC to begin preparations for a rescue, then led the assault team of several SG units that went into Hathor's base (while the rest of SG-3 covered the stargate). (Into the Fire) (...)
    • Pierce: (...) Along with the rest of SG-15, he was assigned to return with Sam to the planet where the Hebridans had crashed, as backup against the attacking "aliens"(actually just members of the alien half of the Hebridan mixed culture, and the original guards of the prisoners posing as the downed ship's crew). They were left to guard the stargate against any incursion by more of the aliens. (Forsaken) (...)
    • Rothman: (rank unknown) When the Reetou rebels invaded the base, Rothman was assigned with Teal'c and Brecker to sweep corridor C-3 on level 28 searching for them. (Show and Tell)
    • Siler: (...) Electrocuted (non-fatally) after helping Jack pull the main electrical breaker in an attempt to shut off the wormhole that was connected to a black hole. (A Matter of Time) (...)
    • Lt. Graham Simmons: (...) Allergic to tetracycline. (Message in a Bottle) (...)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Government:
    • NASA: Head in 1998 was Bollinger (SG-universe only, not ours) (Secrets)
  • Military:
    • Pentagon:
      • Colonel Frank Cromwell: (AF SOF, not actually from the Pentagon per se). Deceased as of 1998. Used to be a friend of Jack's. On a previous mission, Cromwell thought Jack had been killed and made a decision to save the rest of the team, leaving Jack behind where he spent four months in an Iraqi prison. Jack never forgave him. In 1998, Cromwell headed the unit sent to discover if the suddenly incommunicado SGC had been overrun by aliens, to find that it was being affected by massive gravity waves from being connected to a black hole. He stayed behind with Jack when everyone else evacuated the facility, to set the autodestruct in motion after everyone else was clear. (Authorization code to auto-destruct the base: 10432772). When that plan was changed to setting a shaped charge to close the wormhole, Cromwell went with Jack to set it, and died as a result (sucked into the black hole when his safety line snapped). But he managed to repair his friendship with Jack before he died. (A Matter of Time)
    • Area 51:
      • Personnel:
        • Dr. Dobson: (name called over paging system) (Touchstone)
      • Technology:
      • Labs:
        • Medical research lab working on potential cure for Alzheimer's that SG-5 brought back from an unnamed planet. (Touchstone)
        • Other divisions include bio research, geology, space metallurgy, and artifact study. (Touchstone)
        • Artifact study lab was poring over Daniel's notes on Heliopolis. (Touchstone)
    • NID:
      • Timeline (interactions with SGC):
        • On Maybourne's urging, attempts to gain access to the orb that attacked Jack, in the hope that it would be a weapon that could be used against the Goa'uld. Hammond refuses any such access. (Message in a Bottle)
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • Culture:
    • The System Lords have been experimenting with time manipulation for years. (Gamekeeper)
    • When a Goa'uld's world is taken over by another Goa'uld, he will sometimes leave behind a booby trap, to take out the conquerer. (Message in a Bottle)
  • Political structure:
    • A defeated System Lord will often offer his services to his conquerer, in return for life. Apophis used to accept the service of his defeated enemies (Serpent's Song), and seems to have made the same deal himself eventually when Sokar defeated him (The Devil You Know).
  • System Lords:
    • Apophis:
      • His host was from ancient Egypt, a scribe in the temple of Amun at Karnak, with a wife and children, when Apophis took him. The host was at least vaguely aware of what was happening; when Apophis was dying at the SGC after escaping Sokar's torture, he was weak enough that at times the host could take control, and he told Daniel he had been in an unending dream, a nightmare, from which he had hoped to awake to see his wife and children again; instead, he awoke only to die again. Even so, he outlived the goa'uld half of the equation, at least temporarily. Daniel spoke the funerary rites over his dying body. (Serpent's Song)
      • Career:
        • Survived the destruction of his ship in Earth's orbit by ringing with Klorel to Klorel's ship, and escaping through the onboard stargate in the nick of time, directly behind Daniel. Nearly all the warriors and Serpent Guards loyal to Apophis died on those two ships, forcing him to retreat to Chulak in shame, in a desperate attempt to recoup some power before the System Lords sent someone to destroy him and rule in his place. (Family)
        • In his second attempt to destory Earth, he kidnapped Rya'c, brainwashed him, and implanted two false teeth, each containing a biological organism that, combined with the other, produced the deadliest thing Janet had ever seen (virulent enough to make anthrax look like a cold virus) -- knowing that Teal'c and SG-1 would rescue the boy and bring him back to Earth. It would have taken less than two days to spread across North America, and less than a week to spread across the planet, killing every living thing within 24 hours of contact. (Family)
        • The last of his loyal Jaffa died freeing him from Sokar (he then manuevered things so that SG-1 would bring his battered body back to the SGC, setting them up for Sokar's vengeance). (Serpent's Song)
    • Hathor: (...) Always spoke using the royal "we".
  • Minor Goa'uld:
  • Amaunet:
    • She bore Apophis a human son (known as a harsesis). "Slept&quotduring Sha're's pregnancy on Abydos, to keep from endangering the fetus. She awoke as soon as the child was born, demanding that he be given to her; Teal'c (in disguise) took the infant and zatted her. She was aware of SG-1's presence (or at least Daniel's) when she met with Apophis in the Abydos temple, but didn't give him/them away, for reasons of her own. (Secrets)
  • Klorel:
    • He survived the destruction of his ship in Earth's orbit by ringing with Apophis to Klorel's ship, and escaping through the onboard stargate in the nick of time, directly behind Daniel. (Family)
  • Biology:
    • Possibly can be revived from death (with full mental faculties) much later than a human; there's no indication of how long Apophis had been dead before he was sent through the wormhole for Sokar to find and retrieve, but it's likely to have been more than a few minutes, long enough for a human brain to begin suffering the effects of anoxia (six minutes is enough to cause permanent brain damage in a human).Yet Apophis appeared to lose none of his mental faculties as a result. (Serpent's Song, The Devil You Know)
  • Technology:
    • Energy barrier: Impenetrable, invisible energy barrier that can extend down through the earth. (Into the Fire; similar/same barrier used by Apophis in Upgrades)
  • Language:
    • bashaak: first mentioned as a particular type of training (Bra'tac, of Fro'tak and Teal'c: "Both were my wards during the bashaak training") (Family); (...)
  • hara kash: ring device, carried by the ashrak who hunted Jolinar down. When activated, three gems each produced a beam of light that rose into a pyramid, which in turn generates a much stronger energy beam. It's aimed at the victim's head, and can be fatal. (In the Line of Duty)
  • kel: (no direct translation; possibly "bring&quotor something similar. Apophis says "Kel Amaunet&quotto his Jaffa on Abydos, right before Amaunet appears and says "I'm here, my lord." Heru'ur's "Kel shak, Jaffa?&quotcould be something like "have you brought me something?", and Teal'c's answer ("Kel shak, Heru'ur") could be "yes, I've brought you something, Heru'ur.") (Secrets)
  • "kel ma kree sha'shan, kel ma ta'i, or' intani, kel han'dai, iti sha'shan handai": ancient lullaby sung to infants (Family)
  • kel shak: (no direct translation; appears to be both interrogatory and responsive -- Heru'ur: "Kel shak, Jaffa?" Teal'c as Horus Guard: "Kel shak, Heru'ur.") (Secrets)
  • "Mai-aka maki.": (Kasuf's grudgingly polite -- complete with slight bow -- response to Teal'c's initial greeting when they first meet) (Secrets)
  • tal bet: probably either "surrender" or "put down your weapons"(Bra'tac shouts it at Jaffa who promptly put down their weapons) (Into the Fire)
  • tal lak: probably "lifeless"(Teal'c: "This world is most definitely tal lak. Though it once supported life, it is now extinct.") (Message in a Bottle)
  • Tal mal tiak. Mal we-ia.: (Teal'c's respectful first greeting to Kasuf, which he follows with "I am honored.&quotKasuf replies: "Mai-aka maki&quotand bows slightly) (Secrets)
  • tec'ma-te: "Master"(clearest use as title rather than greeting is in Family, when they're trying to figure out who would be coming through the gate using an SG-1 remote transmitter and code, and Teal'c says it must be "tec'ma-te Bra'tac"; if it's a greeting, he wouldn't use it there, since Bra'tac was nowhere in sight) ;
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • Jaffa homes (on Chulak, at least) have long-range communication devices in them, so Apophis can address them all when he needs to. (Family)
    • Warrior culture:
      • Hunting technique: Jaffa in the field signal their position, then close into an interlaced pattern and sweep in to corner whomever they're hunting. (Thor's Chariot)
    • Rebellion:
      • The first public call to rebellion came from Teal'c, on Chulak, after he returned there to raise an army to help him free the rest of SG-1. It was a small beginning, but a handful of Jaffa chose to join him. (Into the Fire)
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Bra'tac:
      • When news of Apophis'sdeath at Sokar's hands reached Chulak, Bra'tac hoped for celebration. Instead, the people were afraid that Klorel would return to claim his inheritence. The remains of Apophis'spersonal guard beat Bra'tac and left him for dead. If Teal'c hadn't arrived, Bra'tac might not have made it. (Into the Fire)
      • He vouched for the returned Teal'c to the warriors still on Chulak, hoping to help him raise an army. They only got a few that first time, but together with Hammond, they attacked Hathor's forces and won, rescuing several SG teams, including SG-1. (Into the Fire)
    • Fro'tak: (...) Had high status on Chulak. Worked in a palace, in the hall of recordings, less than 200 paces down the corridor from where the brainwashed Rya'c was being held by Apophis. (...) (Family)
    • Trofsky: Hathor's first prime. I think. (No tatoo or gold symbol on his head, so there's no proof he's a Jaffa, and there was no evidence that he was a Goa'uld, but he was clearly in charge of her Jaffa army.) He pretended to be a two-star general to fool the captured SG-1 into believing that they'd been cryogenically frozen by unknown aliens for 77 years, in hopes of getting them to trust him enough (as their superior officer) to tell him everything they knew about existing races that could prove valuable allies to Hathor against the System Lords. Once the game was up, he reverted to more standard gear -- a leather-armor outfit with a Hathor symbol on the front, and a zat gun. He was taken down while attempting to defend the stargate against the small band of rescuers Teal'c, Hammond, and Bra'tac had brought, but it's not clear if he's dead or not. (Out of Mind, Into the Fire)
  • Biology:
    • Not unusual for a Jaffa to contract an illness or an infection; to counter it, he or she must go into kel'noreem and allow the symbiote to do its job. Without that healing time, the Jaffa's body will react as though it has no immune system. (Holiday)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Culture:
    • Known for their ability to conceal their tracks; they're stealthy types. (Tok'ra, part 1)
    • Get very offended at being called Goa'uld. (Tok'ra, part 1)
    • The Tok'ra get word of the impending Goa'uld attack from an agent in the Shoran'ka System (Tok'ra, part 2)
    • The host seems to have a pretty strong effect on the symbiote's personality; Selmak was apparently a barrel of laughs while in Saroosh, but seems to have lost a lot of that pure humor as part of Jacob (as well as switching gender-identities from "she&quotto "he"). (Tok'ra, part 2)
    • Garshaw (female host) is referred to as "Master Garshaw"-- presumably the English translation of a gender-neutral term of leadership/control. (Tok'ra, part 2)
    • Arrogant. On first meeting SG-1, the Tok'ra couldn't imagine what they meant by "alliance&quotif it wasn't "we're offering to be hosts" -- they considered the Tau'ri to be too weak and primitive to be able to help them in any other way. (Tok'ra, part 1)
    • The[ir] bases consist of caves, created with crystals designed to build rooms and corridors as needed, so the Tok'ra can settle into a base very quickly, expanding the cave system as new needs arise. (Tok'ra, part 1)
  • Known Tok'ra:
    • Charlie: A boy created by "Mother"(working for, or part of, the Reetou Central Authority). He was modified to be able to see/hear Reetou, so that he could act as an intermediary between them and humans in order to warn the SGC about the rebel faction that had dedicated itself to wiping out all humans, and particularly the ultimate source of all humans -- Earth. But because they didn't know enough about humans, they made him a bit wrong, and on top of that they forced his growth, so that by the time he reached the SGC he was effectively dying. The Tok'ra took him to save his life. No word on what happened to him after he became a Tok'ra. (Show and Tell)
    • Jacob/Selmak: Selmak's former host was Saroosh. One reason Jacob started warming to the idea -- and to Selmak -- was that Selmak was quite the snarky old broad while in Saroosh. Jacob was suffering not only cancer, but arthritis, before he was blended with Selmak, who cured both. (Tok'ra, part 2)
      • Still wears his wedding band. (Show and Tell)
    • Martouf/Lantash: (...) At some point, he'd seen Abydos; described Rosha's hair as "the color of the sands of Abydos". He tried to get Sam to be Selmak's new host, out of a desire to have Jolinar back in his life in some way. (Tok'ra, part 1) (...)
    • "Dr. Raully": No idea what her actual name is. She was the Tok'ra infiltrator on Hathor's base, who managed to get word out that Hathor had SG-1, then later risked discovery by putting the freshly goa'ulded Jack into cryogenic freeze to kill the symbiote before it could fully blend with him. Hathor caught her at it, and slammed her against a wall using a hand device, doing a lot of damage (possibly breaking her back?). When Sam showed up later looking for a sign of Hathor's massive generators, Raully told her how to get Jack out of cryofreeze, then told both Jack and Sam that the generators were in the mockup of the gateroom. She told them her symbiote might still heal her, and told them to leave. She very probably died in the explosion when the generators blew, but there's no evidence one way or the other. (Into the Fire)
    • Rosha/Jolinar of Malkshur: (...) After blending with Sam, she tried to fit in; Sam was possibly fighting her off, because Jolinar's reactions were off-kilter even though she obviously had access to Sam's memories (calling Teal'c "just a Jaffa"-- although that was probably more cultural habit than anything else; punching Jack in the arm in a friendly way Sam would never do; calling out to Jack as "Jack&quotinstead of "colonel"). Jolinar kept trying to get the SGC to help her by alternately threatening Sam and offering to free her; she seemed surprised that no one went for it (possibly not yet understanding how much a soldier Sam was?). When even Daniel was willing to risk Sam's life rather than let Jolinar go, she finally resorted to telling him she knew where Sha're was, and could get her back for Daniel. She was being held on Level 12, holding room 22 -- set up as an actual jail cell, with bars and lasers to prevent her escape, and cameras recording everything. he ashrak found her and killed her anyway, and she made sure Sam survived her death. (In the Line of Duty)(...)
    • Saroosh/Selmak: (...) While in Saroosh, Selmak was referred to as "she". (Tok'ra, part 1) Saroosh told Jacob Selmak was "a wonderful Tok'ra. She is selfless and caring, she's good company, she has a wonderful sense of humor. ... I've had almost 200 years of laughter thanks to Selmak. I'm biased, of course, but I believe Selmak is among the best-educated of the Tok'ra. You will probably be overwhelmed with the knowledge and wisdom you will gain upon blending."(Tok'ra, part 2)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Ancients:
    • Left behind at least one repository of knowledge, which was "downloaded" into the brain of an acceptable candidate (e.g., not a Goa'uld or Jaffa). When the information was downloaded into Jack, he wound up thinking and speaking in the Ancients's language (and unable to speak anything else, although he apparently still understood English spoken to him to some degree), and was capable of building complex machinery, doing complicated math in base 8, rewriting computer program source code (specifically, to add more stargates to the computer's known listing), and drawing detailed schematics of a DHD along with giving detailed instructions on how to repair one stuck in a mid-dial lockdown. (Fifth Race)
    • Daniel believed that they might be the "teachers of roads"-- the "ancient ones&quotfrom whom early Romans first learned how to build roads, and who created the "road&quotsystem of stargates. (Fifth Race)
  • Asgard:
    • Thor said it had ben a "ten-span&quotsince he created Cimmeria -- possibly the equivalent of a thousand years. (Thor's Chariot)
• Added to Misc. Aliens:
  • Naked white singing mimes:
    • Planet: PJ2-445 (One False Step)
    • The (obvious) locals are upright, bipedal humanoids (highly humanoid), with no apparent head, facial, or body hair. (One False Step)
      • Although externally they look almost entirely human, their internal organs are different, and include one organ that's sound-sensitive. (One False Step)
      • They're symbiotically (probably; could be parasitic, but it seems unlikely) connected to the other local lifeform, relying on the sound it produces to keep them healthy. (One False Step)
      • They have no evident speech, although they're not mute; they trill/sing in warning (as well as healing, fear, and relief/joy). (One False Step)
      • They don't wear clothes; instead, they decorate each other (and themselves?) with lines (both straight and curved) of white body paint that hardens into a second skin when dry. At least one was wearing a necklace of white stones. (One False Step)
      • They're communal, living in "villages&quotthat consist of several groups of huts. The huts are round, domed dwellings, about twice as tall as the locals, with doorways tall enough that they didn't have to bend to go in. (One False Step)
      • Despite the lack of evident communication among them, they appear to be fairly close-knit, and get very worried when some of them start falling ill. (One False Step)
      • They're natural mimics, and are able to interpret symbols (Daniel ran around pretending to be a UAV that crashed, and the locals went off and found the UAV and brought it to the team). (One False Step)
    • The second of the local lifeform consists of a plant, whose roots appear to spread to pretty much everything in sight. The plant emits a sound (below human hearing) that keeps the humanoid locals healthy. (One False Step)
    • When the SGC's UAV crashed on the planet, it struck a plant and injured it, changing the pitch of the sound. This caused many of the humanoid locals to fall ill, and eventually caused brutal headaches -- along with high levels of irritability. (One False Step)
    • The SGC returned things to normal by bringing in frequency emitters to give forth the correct (healthy) sound, reviving the humanoid locals and giving the plant a chance to heal along with them. (One False Step)

     

    Known natives:

    • none

  • Orb organism:
    • Planet: P5C-353 (Message in a Bottle)
    • Stored in a round capsule/orb of sorts, on a world where life had been extinct for a hundred thousand years (rough guess on Daniel's part) and where the environment was Moon-like -- SG-1 needed space suits to survive there. The capsule gave off an EM signal, enough for the MALP to pick up when it probed the world for signs of life. The surface of the capsule was covered in tiny writing (too small to be read by the naked eye -- the equivalent of a thousand pages of text on the external surface alone). The capsule itself was maintaining an internal temperature of 33F, generating an EM field, and emitting small amounts of alpha, delta, and gamma radiation. It had a power source more advanced than anything the SGC had come across to date (1998), including Goa'uld tech. (Message in a Bottle)
      • The material making up the shell of the orb included two elements not previously known on Earth (Sam said they could add two more elements to the periodic table). The material was several hundred times stronger than steel. (Message in a Bottle)
      • When the orb "woke up", its internal temperature began rising, eventually reaching 149F. (Message in a Bottle)
      • The orb could (and did) extrude harpoon-like extensions, to anchor itself into wherever it was being held (and skewer whoever was holding it), to keep from being returned to its dead world. (Message in a Bottle)
      • The orb couldn't be shot effectively with an energy weapon; it "ate&quotthe energy. (Message in a Bottle)
    • The orb contained an organism (possibly plural) -- mobile, like a bacteria, but small like a virus and slightly radioactive. They bond in chains, and metabolize any material, even concrete -- like an indiscriminate form of flesh-eating disease. The organism(s) showed up visually under ultraviolet light. The orb's harpoons provided an avenue for the organism(s) to travel (Message in a Bottle)
      • The organism's progress could be slowed in humans by dosing them with tetracycline. (Message in a Bottle)
      • The organism needed to reach a critical growth mass before it could properly communicate; it deliberately chose to communicate through a person (Jack), since that would facilitate things. (Message in a Bottle)
      • The organism referred to it/themself as "We", and seemed very much to be a plural mind. (Message in a Bottle)
      • Millenia ago, their world was dying. They created the orb and retreated to it, where they lay dormant for a hundred thousand years. Once the orb was brought to a world with a viable atmosphere, they woke, went forth, and multiplied. They had no intention of leaving Earth once they'd made it there, not wanting to return to their own world (and their own death/dormancy). (Message in a Bottle)
  • Reetou: (...)
    • Although humans can't see them, Reetou can see humans, giving them a tactical advantage. (Show and Tell)
    • Generally a peaceful race. The Goa'uld (nearly) wiped them out simply because they were a potential threat. (Show and Tell)
    • The rebels that sprang up after the Goa'uld wiped out almost everyone are effectively terrorists, and have a particular MO (Show and Tell):
      • They work in small groups of five suicide infiltrators. They sneak in, split up, plant destructive devices, and try to maximize the damage before they're detected. (Show and Tell)
      • The rebels carry cross-phasal explosives, each as powerful as a small nuke; one team could easily level a couple of Terran cities before being detected. (Show and Tell)
    • "Charlie"
      • "Mother": The specific Reetou who created the boy. When his accelerated growth started to cause his body to fail, she sped up her timetable to warn Earth. She found SG-1 on an offworld mission, and followed them home, then stuck around for several weeks to decide who to trust. Tonane's visit to the SGC clinched it; SG-1 was the only team to try to deal honorably with the Salish, so she chose to trust Jack and no one else. She sent for/brought the boy to the base to warn the SGC through Jack. (Show and Tell)
      • He had congenital defects in many of his organs; defective heart valves and renal functions are defective, he had questionable lungs, etc. (Show and Tell)
      • His brain contained a reticular formation (the part of the brain that determines alertness, and perception of things) twice the size of a normal human's -- this is probably what allowed him to see and hear Reetou. Changing his genes to create this larger formation also probably caused the defects in other organs, in a ripple sort of effect during the genetic engineering. (Show and Tell)
  • Spirits:
    • Planet -- PXY-887
    • The "Spirits&quotare the alien shapeshifters who lived on the world where the Salish were brought by the Goa'uld, and who took on the personas of the Salish gods a thousand years ago after they defeated the Goa'uld, to allow them to co-exist with the Salish in harmony. Their true form is humanoid, but with gill-like structures instead of noses. (Spirits)
    • They have the ability to "disappear&quotpeople; no idea exactly where they go, but they vanish from this plane of existence. (Spirits)
    • They were not at all happy with the mining methods and intentions of SG-11, when they arrived on the planet to start collecting trinium (which the Salish call "ke"). They "disappeared" them, and shapechanged to match them, returning to the SGC with SG-1 for a "debrief"-- actually a chance for the Spirits to do some recon work. (Spirits)
    • They weren't happy with Hammond's plans to fool the Salish, and "disappeared&quotmost of the SGC. Daniel finally convinved Ta'kaya to listen to him, and everyone who'd gone missing was returned. (Spirits)
    • On Daniel's suggestion, the Spirits closed their planet's stargate down to keep anyone, specifically the SGC, from coming back through again. (Spirits)

      Known Spirits:

      • T'akaya: a female "spirit", who took the form of a wolf. (Spirits)
      • Xe-ls: (pronounced "Zales"): the tribe's main protector figure, who took the form of a raven. (Spirits)
• Added to Misc. Humans:
  • Cimmerians: (...)
    • Heru'ur's troops had already killed off more than half the Cimmerians by the time SG-1 came through in response to Gairwyn's call for help. (Thor's Chariot)
    • The Hall of Thor's Might -- according to ancient tales, a hall where Thor placed all of his powers to help or defend Cimmeria. Daniel and Sam thought it might be a weapons-cache of some sort. It turned out to be an obelisk in the woods. Touching the red stone in the middle of the obelisk transports one to an undergound (apparently -- it's completely enclosed in rock) chamber, where a hologram of Thor gives a greeting and explains that one must be proved worthy before seeing his might. A test follows (unknown if it's always the same test; presumably, this would be less effective it it were only one person involved). For Daniel, Sam, and Gairwyn, it was the illusion of the floor falling away to leave a narrow stone span across the chamber that they needed to cross; when Daniel was willing to risk his own life to save Gairwyn (who had fallen after Thor shook the bridge), they passed the test, and were transported to another chamber, where they had to show wisdom by solving the riddle of the runes. (Actually, this wasn't so much about wisdom as it was about knowledge: specifically, a combination of math and language skills.) Answering the riddle meant that one was advanced enough to see Thor in his true form -- no weapons involved. (Thor's Chariot)
    • After Thor arrived to drive Heru'ur off Cimmeria, he promised to leave an Asgard teacher behind to teach the Cimmerians. He also replaced Thor's Hammer, with a twist; the new one was programmed not to target Teal'c, so he could return to the planet any time he wanted. (Thor's Chariot)
    • Known Cimmerians:
      • Olaf: Believed that SG-1 are the direct cause of the "Ettin&quotinvasion; he thinks that SG-1's evil ways in destroying Thor's Hammer brought the Ettins down on the Cimmerians. He didn't trust them at all at first sight -- even arguing with Gairwyn about it -- but agreed to guide Jack and Teal'c to show them the extent of the Goa'uld invasion, after Jack said they wanted to help and Teal'c promised to stay and fight until the Goa'uld were driven from Cimmeria. After a run-in with Heru'ur and some Jaffa (the Jaffa were holding him while Heru'ur first questioned, then ribboned him; Jack and Teal'c shot the heck out of the Jaffa, freeing Olaf), and later battling with them side by side against more Jaffa, Olaf changed his mind about them. He calls them "Sons of Midgard". (Thor's Chariot)
  • Ma'chello's people:
    • Planet: P3W-924 (Holiday)
    • Opposed to the Goa'uld. (Holiday)
    • Two billion died rather than surrender Ma'chello to the Goa'uld. (Holiday)

      Known natives:

      • Ma'chello:
        • Very old -- older than Teal'c. He was a fugitive from the System Lords, and had been since before Teal'c was born (ca. 1899) (Holiday)
        • He fought the Goa'uld for fifty years before his wife, who had been turned into a host without him realizing it, betrayed him to the System Lords. (Holiday)
        • He was developing/had developed advanced technology to fight the Goa'uld. He was successful enough that the System Lords marked him down as a host after they captured and tortured him, so his knowledge wouldn't be lost. Before he could be implanted, he killed several Jaffa and escaped. (Holiday)
        • After his escape he continued to fight the System Lords, and believed that he had kept several from attacking and destroying Earth. (Holiday)
        • When SG-1 discovered his world and him, he saw a chance to hide his face for good, and switched bodies with Daniel. He truly believed that he was owed a body by someone, after fighting so long against the Goa'uld. (Holiday)
        • He died of pulmonary failure (probably -- he'd been suffering pulmonary damage) after a bout of body-switching. (Holiday)
        • He kept a database of all his inventions, written in a code he developed himself. The code used Latin and Greek alphabets (similar to Ma'chello's native language) to form the words, but the language itself was completely original, with no clear sentence structure to analyze. He designed it specifically to keep his knowledge from falling into enemy hands. (Holiday)

      Technology:

      • Life support system: a device he could recline in, which hooked him up to various things and kept him alive. Presumably the reason why he'd lived so long. (Holiday)
      • Body-swapping machine. Two people stand across from each other and touch the handles of the machine, and their neural patterns switch places. The touch doesn't have to be direct; Jack and Teal'c swapped despite protective gear and having slid carrying handles onto the machine's handles to ensure they wouldn't be touching it directly. The device retains the memory of every transference, to keep a reversal from occurring. (Holiday)
  • Madronans:
    • Planet: Madrona. SGC-designation PX7-941 (Touchstone)
    • The planet was terraformed about 900 years ago, by an unknown race, and is now populated by the human Madronans. (Touchstone)
    • The Madronans don't know how to use the stargate, and are not technologically advanced. The local guards use stone-tipped spears and bows and arrows. (Touchstone)
    • Madronans have a device that allows them to call up whatever weather they want: the Touchstone. (Touchstone)
      • The Touchstone was likely made by the alien race that terraformed the planet. The high priest turns a series of calibrated rings, which seem to determine meteorological conditions across the entire planet. (Touchstone)
      • It maintains the weather on the planet; removing it causes massive meteorological upheavals. (Touchstone)
      • It was kept in the lower (right) hand of the statue of a woman reaching her left hand up to the sky, on a dais in what appeared to be a torchlit temple, with many mullioned windows with yellow-gold frosted-looking glass, and either an inlaid or a carefully painted floor. (Touchstone)
    • The local style of dress feels very pre-Columbian Central American -- grass and feather headdresses, kilts, grass arm- and leg-bands, etc. (Touchstone)
    • Physical disability wasn't enough to keep people from positions of power; the apparent high priest, Roham, was blind. (Touchstone)

      Known Madronans:

      • La-Moor: Local princess, who also seemed to be the liaison between her uncle -- local leader -- and SG-1. (Touchstone)
      • Roham: Probably the high priest, and part of, or at least related to, the royal family. Daniel never accorded him a title, but addressed his niece as "Princess La-Moor". He was blind, but still capable of leading his people. (Touchstone)
  • Nasyans:
    • Planet is Nasya; SGC designation unknown. (In the Line of Duty)
    • Nasya had been free of Goa'uld attack for three centuries. After Jolinar fled to their planet, Cronus sent an ashrak to hunt her down, and sent an attack force as well. The SGC had two teams on the planet at the time -- SG-1 and SG-6 -- there to set up a research outpost. (In the Line of Duty)
    • The SGC managed to rescue 237 people from the attack, but some were critically injured/burned. Those were transferred to the Air Force Academy hospital. (In the Line of Duty)
    • The Naysans were relocated to another world; not sure which one. (In the Line of Duty)

      Known Nasyans:

  • Talia -- wife to the man Jolinar originally inhabited when she fled to Nasya to hide. Talia survived the attack on Naysa and was brought through to the SGC, and to the USAF Academy Hospital for treatment. (In the Line of Duty)
  • "Residents":
    • Planet: P7J-989 (nb: Teal'c calls it PJ7-989) (Gamekeeper)
    • The world was nearly destroyed by a chemical disaster 1,022 years ago (as of 1998), and the few surviros placed their bodies into suspended animation to keep the race alive until the planet could restore itself. People were physically connected to pods in an enclosed dome, with tubes feeding nutrients into them (and presumably something like electrical stimulation to keep the muscles from atrophying?), and connectors from their brains tying them all into a giant network, effectively making it into a giant virtual reality game Within the network, the Keeper could control the environment, using people's memories and imaginations to set up scenarios for them to live through or observe. After a thousand years of this, though, things were getting stale, and the Keeper leapt at the chance to have SG-1's minds and memories tied in -- or at least Jack and Daniel's. Sam and Teal'c's minds were resistant, thanks to Jolinar and Junior. They could experience other people's memories, but couldn't contribute any of their own. SG-1 eventually caused enough of a stir to get the Residents questioning their existence, and after a few mindgames with the Keeper, escaped and wound up showing the Residents the way out. (Gamekeeper)

      Known "Residents":

  • The Keeper: The person who created and was in charge of controlling the environment. He can appear as anyone he chooses, inserting himself into any "game". Although he knew the external world had renewed itself into a fertile garden, he refused to tell his Residents, wanting to maintain his control (and in part to keep them from repeating the destruction of the world -- he didn't trust them to be able to maintain order in the outside world). He was very pleased to have SG-1's memories and imaginations to play with, until they started shaking up the status quo by telling the Residents that their world was renewed. He tried to trick them by pretending to set them free, when in fact he just dumped them into another simulation (with himself as Hammond). The team figured it out, and finnally escaped for real, showing the rest of the Residents the way out in the process and pissing the Keeper off royally. (Gamekeeper)
  • Salish:
    • Planet -- PXY-887
    • Descended from the Central Coast Salish Indians. They were brought to their world by Jaffa (Serpent Jaffa, from the image on the clan-crest totem). The aliens who already lived there took on the personas of their gods, and destroyed the Goa'uld (the totem included an image of Xe-ls apparently either eating, or biting the head off, a Goa'uld symbiote; most likely a larva yanked from a Jaffa pouch, rather than a full-grown, hosted Goa'uld, but no proof one way or the other). (Spirits)
    • The culture is much the same as it originally was -- tribal, migratory, etc. -- but has certain types of advanced tech, notably processed trinium for things like arrowheads (capable of being shot through a stargate and through the highly tempered glass of the control room in the SGC, and still go completely through Jack's arm -- very strong stuff), and into a type of fiber for creating waterproof, very strong building walls. (Spirits)
    • They call trinium "ke", and consider it a gift from the gods (who send small amounts down from the mountain in the river -- if the mountain is willing; the river polishes the ke until it's shiny, at which point it's ready to be shaped into whatever the Salish need. [Given what trinium is like in its raw state -- brittle enough to crumble in a person's hand -- I'm thinking the "spirits&quothelp the polishing along a bit...]). (Spirits)
    • They call the stargate the "Circle of Standing Water"(Spirits)

      Known Salish:

      • Tonane: Clearly respected among his people, but not one of the elders. Smart, curious, friendly, adventurous. He willingly went through the stargate to see what other mining options the SGC could offer. (Spirits)
  • Shavadai:
    • Planet: Simarka. SGC designation: P3X-593. (Emancipation)
    • The world has (feral) dogs on it. (Emancipation)
    • The Sea of Ogada is distant enough that Abu defaults to assuming that when Daniel and Jack told him they were from very far away. (Emancipation)
    • "Shavadai&quotmeans "the people of the steppe". (Emancipation)
      • They're descended of Mongols, possibly the Chagatai, who were the only Mongols to maintain their steppe-nomad traditions when all the other tribes had adapted to Persian ways. (Emancipation)
      • The Shavadai aren't the only inhabitants of this world; there's also the "people of the river", the Tugai (people of the forest), and a desert tribe, along with at least 22 other clans (and probably a lot more than that). (Emancipation)
      • The Shavadai seem to be rather wealthier then the Tugai -- their clothes are richer, at any rate. (Emancipation)
    • The Song of Arkhan-Tyr, among other things, provides a means by which a chieftain can challenge or stop another chieftain's lawful rulings, by challenging him to personal combat and winning. "The spirits will strengthen the hand of the just"-- whoever wins has the right to decide what happens to the person who has been judged (e.g., is sentenced to be stoned). It's a fight to the death. (Emancipation)
    • The culture strictly separates men and women. (Emancipation)
      • The women stay inside the women's tent/enclosure for the most part. (Emancipation)
      • It's forbidden for a man to look upon an unveiled woman in public. (Emancipation)
        • Presumably, this holds true in private for women that the men aren't related to, as well. (Emancipation)
      • According to Shavadai law, it is death for a woman to show her face in public, or to wear men's clothes. (Emancipation)
      • A woman who speaks (in public, or to a man; unclear which) is killed, by law. (Emancipation)
      • If a woman saves a life, hers cannot be taken. (Emancipation)
      • Women, especially foreign women, are valued highly for trade. (Emancipation)
      • In the distant past, women were free, and even fought beside their husbands, but no one speaks of that anymore. (Emancipation)
      • The laws restricting women so completely were put in place to protect them from the Goa'uld who brought the Shavadai to this world. (Emancipation)
    • The Shavadai have the strongest horses and camels, the best wool, and the best medicines (at least according to them), giving them strong advantages in trading. (Emancipation)

      Known Shavadai:

      • Abu: The chieftain's son. He appeared to be the local healer; he was very focused on medicines as one of the tribe's strengths, and he was the one who applied an anaesthetic to a tribesman wounded in a skirmish, helping to heal it. He was the first to meet up with SG-1, who saved him when he was being attacked by a pack of feral dogs. He kept his tribesmen from killing Sam when they caught up to him, by explaining that she saved his life. When he saw her dressed as a Shavadai, he forgot his gratitude and decided to sell her to a rival tribal chief, Turghan, to get Turghan's daughter, Nya, for himself. Turghan didn't go along, offering 300 weights of gold instead. (Emancipation)
      • Mughal: The tribe's chieftain; slightly crippled, but mentally very strong. He was extremely reform-minded about his culture's attitudes toward women (for no apparent reason). Unlike most of his people, he only had one wife (he loved her). He was also forward-looking, in that he was hoping for a time when war was taken over by trade, and people could lead peaceful, prosperous lives. When his son Abu kidnapped Sam to trade her, Mughal willingly guided the rest of SG-1 in pursuit, explaining that Abu had betrayed him as well. He brought them to Turghan's tent and tried to trade on their behalf, offering 350 weights of gold, then 400, then 500 (which Jack offered on his behalf, promising to pay it back). Mughal's offers didn't do it, but Jack's offer of a pistol finally did. Before they could get back to the Shavadai camp, though, Abu showed up and begged them to help him save Nya, who was about to be stoned to death for daring to disobey her father and run away to be with Abu. Mughal didn't want to risk starting a war, but found an old law in the Song of Arkhan-Tyr that permitted one chieftain to challenge another to personal combat to prevent a stoning. He manipulated Turghan into allowing Sam to fight him; Sam won. Mughal used all of this as an excuse/reason to free his women from the veil and the women's enclosure, returning them to their pre-Goa'uld days. (Emancipation)

      Known non-Shavadai:

      • Chimakka: Desert warlord and chieftain, slated to be married to Nya. (Emancipation)
      • Nya: One of the Tugai, "people of the forest". She was Turghan's daughter, but was in love with Abu. Turghan had arranged for her to marry Chimakka, though. When she realized that Sam (who had been sold to Turghan) wasn't particularly keen on obeying Turghan's orders, Nya asked Sam to help her escape. She fled to meet Abu, but her father caught up with them and took her back, sentencing her to be stoned to death according to their laws (but privately forgiving her for running away). Mughal and SG-1 arrived to rescue her, by setting Turghan up to fight Sam, who won and freed Nya. (Emancipation)
      • Turghan: One of the Tugai, "people of the forest". He was the chieftain of the tribe, enemies/rivals to the Shavadai. He was a powerful warlord; thanks to a career of raiding, kiling, and capturing, he had gained the allegiance of 22 tribes. He wasn't remotely reform-minded about anything, unlike Mughal. His daughter Nya was in love with Abu (it was mutual), but Turghan didn't care; he'd already agreed that she would marry Chimakka, a desert warlord. When Abu offered to trade Sam for Nya, Turghan refused, giving him 300 weights of gold (enough to buy ten women) and keeping Sam. When Mughal and SG-1 appeared to trade back for her, Turghan ignored all offers (up to 500 weights of gold), until Jack finally pulled out a pistol and shot a lamp. Turghan accepted the pistol as payment (not understanding that there were only a few rounds in the clip, at least two of which he wasted shooting the gun into the air to impress his people). Shortly thereafter, he caught up to Nya and Abu, who had run away together, and brought Nya back home, sentencing her to be stoned to death according to their laws (but privately forgiving her for running away). Mughal and SG-1 arrived to prevent the stoning; Mughal had remembered an ancient law that permitted one chieftain to challenge another's decision in such a case, by challenging him to personal combat. Turghan refused to fight the crippled Mughal, unknowingly letting himself be manipulated into opening the field for any other chieftain wanting to challenge him -- which let Sam step up (Daniel had previously identified her as a chieftain among his people). The fight was supposed to be to the death; Sam won it, but refused to kill Turghan as long as he freed his daughter, and Sam (officially). (Emancipation)
  • Shyla's people:
    • Planet -- no local name, SGC designation P3R-636 (Need)
    • The ruler, Pyrus, held court in a Goa'uld pyramid -- with, oddly enough, a giant Mayan-style bas relief carving behind the "throne". There were also Mayan-style carvings on the container that held the sarcophagus, and possibly on the throne itself (there were carvings, but not clear enough to see). (nb: these carvings looked Mayan to me, so that's what I'm calling them, but I'm no expert; it's also possible that they're Aztec or Toltec.) The sarcophagus had standard Egyptian/Goa'uld hieroglyphs on it. (Need)
    • The SGC was going to work on diplomatic relations, to gain access to some of the naquadah from the mines. No word if this world became a source for the SGC. (Need)

      Known natives:

  • Pyrus: "The God-slayer", ruler of the kingdom. He gained control by killing the Goa'uld who used to rule there (unnamed). His people worshipped him in the Goa'uld's place, because he "liberated them from the evil god". Their lives weren't much different, though; he basically set himself up as another Goa'uld, living in the pyramid, using guards dressed as Jaffa and armed with staff weapons, and keeping his people working themselves to death in the mines to produce naquadah, which he sent through the stargate at regular intervals so no other Goa'uld would get suspicious and come through to take over the world. He used the dead Goa'uld's sarcophagus to extend his life to an extraordinary degree, far beyond the point where full humans are supposed to be able to surive. When SG-1 found the planet, he was 700 years old and extremely paranoid. He imprisoned them all on suspicion of trying to thieve "his&quotnaquadah. Shyla saved Daniel and started grooming him to be her spouse, which Pyrus wasn't terribly pleased about but did nothing to stop. The sarcophagus had stopped being particularly effective in his case, and he knew he would die soon, and Shyla would take over. He died while SG-1 was back at the SGC, leaving Shyla to inherit alone. (Need)
  • Shyla: Princess. Only (surviving?) child of the 700-year-old ruler, Pyrus. Raised on stories of a prince from the stars coming to take her away from all this, basically (her mother told her that "a great man would come from beyond the stars... just for [her]") -- ripe to fall into a fantasy world about Daniel after he saved her from suicide, believing him to be her destiny. She had given up hope and was standing on the edge of the cliff wishing one last time for her dream man, and Daniel appeared at exactly the right moment. She couldn't admit to her father that she was trying to kill herself, though, so Daniel and the rest of SG-1 were captured and imprisoned in the naquadah mines after Daniel was found with her. After an escape attempt left Daniel near (or actually -- unclear which) dead from a rockfall, Shyla had him brought to the palace and revived in her father's sarcophagus. She dressed him up in royal robes and got him completely addicted to the sarcophagus by repeated uses, all the while planning their perfect life together knowing that he'd be unable to leave her (and the sarcophagus). Once she thought he was addicted enough, she let him (and the rest of the team) go home, sure that he'd have to return to her. Her father died before Daniel came back, and Daniel returned free of the sarcophagus's influence to tell her he wouldn't be marrying her. He convinced her to destroy the sarcophagus, so she wouldn't fall into the same traps her father did. (Need)
  • Taldor:
    • (The race name is a probably inaccurate guess; it's the only word we're given, but it more specifically applies to the judicial body that sentences criminals.) (Prisoners)
    • Planet designation is P3X-775. (Prisoners)
    • Far more technologically advanced than Earth. (Prisoners)
    • A civilization of island states, ruled by strict, immutable law. Those found guilty of any crime are sent through the stargate to the prison world of Hadante, for life -- no appeals process, and a zero-tolerance policy toward crime of any sort. (Prisoners)
    • Taldor as judiciary: Hand down sentences in anonymity, speaking from darkness while defendents (or supplicants, in the case of SGC representatives trying to retrieve SG-1 from imprisonment) are bathed in a beam of bright blue-white light. They believe that punctuality is emblematic of civilized behavior. Highly xenophobic (and arrogant, narrow-minded, self-centered... according to Major Kovacek). (Prisoners)
    • Hadante: Prison world, used much the way the British used Botany Bay in Australia. According to Daniel's rather cursory investigation, Hadante was likely an alien gate terminal, roughly 15,000 years old. When new prisoners arrived (through the stargate), the existing prisoners set up a weird whistling. Food was sent through from Taldor every day at the same time -- a sort of gruel, which poured through the gate in a single stream, to be caught on a piece of wood that aimed down into a trough, from which all the prisoners ate (by scooping out a bowlful). (Prisoners)

      Known Taldor:

  • Linea: aka The Destroyer of Worlds. She's extremely smart and strangely honest, while being totally misleading. In her words, "There was an experiment with tragic consequence. People died. ... It began with a terrible plague... Time was short. I offered my knowledge. Instead of inhibiting the disease's progress, my medicine accelerated its effects. ... Do not think that I am innocent.&quotSam, and through her SG-1, believed this, and allied with her. In reality, she was sent to Hadante for creating a terrible plague -- to which she was immune -- that wiped out half the population. She came and offered her help in stopping it, but instead made it worse. It spread from island to island, and by the time she was caught she had destroyed half the world. She rose to a position of power in the prison (and even when she -- clearly in charge of things there -- told Jack and Sam that there are two ways to control a society: fear and hope, they totally failed to get that she controlled that particular society through fear). She's capable of murder on a smaller scale, as well; to keep SG-1 intact and available to her purposes, she covertly killed Vishnoor while he was strangling Daniel, making it look like somehow Daniel had done it. Her biochemistry skills are impressive; while on Hadante and working with local materials and no lab equipment, she developed medicines that helped Daniel recover from near-suffocation, as well as a medicine that completely reversed a degenerative eye disease that had caused blindness in Simian. Working alone in a primitive setting, she also managed to come up with cold fusion, using liquid "activators" on the root of a plant. She teamed up with SG-1 to escape Hadante, offering her cold fusion technique to manually power the gate in return for going with them back to Earth. Given access to the SGC's computer system, she figured out the stargate system in record time, knocked Sam and another scientist out, and fled through the gate. She crashed the entire system behind her, leaving a message: "Thank you for your help. All debts have now been paid."(Prisoners)
  • Rosure: Criminal to the Taldor -- accused of murder. On the run on his home planet, he literally stumbled into SG-1, begged them for help, and got them to go with him, which eventually contributed to their list of crimes in the Taldor's eyes. Roshure went his separate way once they were all sent to Hadante, and within a day or so of their arrival made his bid for freedom -- by standing in the path of the kawoosh and being killed instantly. (He thought it was a way of escape, that he'd be sent back through the stargate.) (Prisoners)
  • Simian: Sent to Hadante because he stole food. He was blind when he arrived; Linea put medicine in his eyes and restored his sight. He recognized her as the Destroyer of Worlds, and fled her presence. Later, he followed SG-1 through the stargate to P2A-509; SG-3 found him lurking near their basecamp relatively soon after SG-1 had returned to Earth, and brought him back to the SGC in handcuffs. Once there, he gave them Linea's true history. (Prisoners)
  • Vishnoor: Strong like ox, dumb like bull. Totally subservient to Linea on Hadante, but other than that, he ruled the prison by virtue of being the hardest to kill. When SG-1 first appeared he made a grab for Sam; she backward-head-butted him in the mouth and then Linea intervened and announced that Sam was protected. Later, either to regain face or just because he's like that, he decided that Daniel had insulted him and picked a fight. He nearly managed to kill Daniel through strangulation before Linea, working covertly, killed Vishnoor herself. (Prisoners)

  Language:

      • Internal continuity glitch: Sam is travelling down the elevator, which goes past level 21, reaches level 22, and stops. She bangs for help; Daniel hears, and walks up to the elevator doors on level 28 to get her out.
    • Spirits:
      • Internal continuity glitch: Xe-ls, in the form of Dr. Warner, is shot and falls face down on the ground; as he loses consciousness, he morphs back into his true form, but is lying face up.
    • Tok'ra, part 2:
      • Canon glitch: Yet again, an incoming wormhole (a Goa'uld dialling in to Vorash) lit up a stargate chevron by chevron, rather than all at once.
    • Touchstone:
      • Canon glitch: Teal'c says that SG-2's point of origin (to gate back home) was "galaxies away from&quotMadrona
    • A Matter of Time:
      • Continuity glitch: SG-10 died on its first mission because it gated to a planet being sucked into a black hole -- but 14 episodes earlier, the team was listed as one of the ones looking for a new home for the Nasyans. (Possible spackling: in A Matter of Time, Jack could have meant "their first mission under Major Boyd". -- but all he says is "their first mission")
    • Serpent's Song:
      • How did the gateroom cool down so fast? It had been heated to nearly 200 degrees Farenheit by Sokar's particle accelerator, and is an underground chamber with no easy access to the outside for venting that much heat. Yet within less than 40 minutes (the 38-minute open-wormhole window), it had cooled down enough for people to be standing in the room (and for Teal'c to be right up by the gate) with no protective gear of any sort, and no sign of discomfort.
    • Show and Tell:
      • Why did the Reetou, supposedly a major threat to the SGC and Earth, never show up again?
      • What happened to "Charlie&quotafter he became a Tok'ra?
    • 1969:
      • Hammond wrote the note in regular time, not military time, and didn't mention what time zone it was meant for.
      • Hammond had no idea ahead of time which side of the sun the flare that sent them back in time would be, so how did he know which flares to pick to reverse the process, if what was necessary was to choose one on the opposite side?
    • Into the Fire:
      • Canon glitch: Incoming wormhole lights up the chevrons on the stargate on Hathor's planet one by one.
    • Sight Unseen:
      • Internal continuity glitch: When Sam, Jonas, and Hammond are testing the reversal procedure, the camera shot proving that Sam no longer sees the creatures is pointed the wrong way; the bug was on the other end of the device.

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Full Circle
• Updated Episodes, Writers, and Directors pages to fix error on Full Circle info
• Added a new page: Nitpicks (very incomplete so far, mainly covering the latter part of sixth season)
• Added to:
  • Jack:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Misc.:
        • Jack and bad knees/back:
          • Full Circle (knees and back "kinda weather-contingent")
  • Daniel:
    • General info:
      • Returned in ascended form a second time to help Teal'c survive a horrible situation: deliberately sharing Junior with Bra'tac to keep them both alive, for days (he worked his way into Teal'c's hallucinations, helping Teal'c stay focused on holding on until things got better, then easing him out of the hallucinations by pointing out that just maybe, they weren't the reality). (The Changeling)
      • Returned in ascended form a third time to encourage the Abydonians to fight Anubis, and to recruit Jack (and the rest of SG-1) to the cause. (Full Circle)
        • This time around he couldn't just wiggle around the rules; he wound up actively, then enthusiastically, interfering:
          • He helped SG-1 find the hidden chamber that led to the Eye of Ra, and served as a sort of liaison between Jack and Anubis when they were making deals over the Eye. (Full Circle)
          • He contacted the System Lords and told them of Anubis's plan, which resulted in them rallying behind Yu to confront Anubis with a fleet of motherships. (Full Circle)
          • He confronted Anubis directly, prepared to do battle with him to drive him off. (Full Circle)
        • Oma took exception to his interference, and drove him off before he could destroy Anubis. (Full Circle)
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Confirmed deaths:
        • Returned a third time to encourage the Abydonians to fight Anubis, and to enlist Jack (and through him the rest of SG-1) to the cause, eventually pitching in and helping for real, despite the rules forbidding it. (Full Circle)
  • Added to Sam:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Near-deaths:
        • Heartbeat flatlined briefly after she was caught in a power spike while overhauling the gate generators (the capacitor blew). (Prophecy) (nb: I nearly put this under "severe injuries&quotbecause the flatlining was so brief, but she did flatline, so it goes here. YMMV.)
  • Added to Jonas:
    • General info: (...)
      • He (and presumably the other Kelownans, assuming any survived their war) is evolved to something not quite baseline human -- whatever the genetic mutation, it was very appealing to Nirrti, who hoped to use it as a springboard to her goal of a hok'tar to use as a new host. (Metamorphosis)
        • While in Nirrti's gene-splicing machine (for more than an hour -- Metamorphosis), he was changed somehow; some time later, he began to develop a mass in his brain that acted like a tumor but wasn't formed of cancerous cells. Something about it gave him precognitive ability -- and massive headaches. Frasier insisted that he have surgery to have it removed, before it killed him. The tumor was made up of material similar to ordinary human brain tissue, but with neurons that were more densely packed. (Prophecy)
      • Even after nearly a year with SG-1, still felt the need to prove his usefulness. (Prophecy)
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Severe injuries:

      • Miscellaneous:
        • Considers himself hyper-observant, noticing details others miss, spotting patterns, etc. (Prophecy)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
    • Timeline:
      • 2002: The Prometheus (X-303) goes out on its shakedown mission. Everything works properly, but due to an unexpected passage through intense gravity waves while in hyperspace, part of the machinery failed, and the reactor had to be jettisoned. The ship landed on a planet with a stargate, and presumably a replacement reactor was sent through and installed so the ship could return home. (Memento)
    • The Seeker project was being discussed/initiated (unclear whether it was still just on the drawing table or if it was being implemented) as a way to detect a Goa'uld ship's "footprint" along the path taken by Apophis's ships to reach and attack Earth. (Apparently working on the assumption that that particular corridor of space is the most direct route to Goa'uld-occupied space, and thus the most likely approach vector for more Goa'uld ships.) Although it's not made completely explicit, the implication was that Sam wanted to use P5C-629, a planet within that corridor, as a platform to do this observing/detecting. (Thor's Chariot)
  • Cheyenne Mountain complex:
    • Physical layout:
      • It's possible that cardkeys are required to access the elevators on all levels; it's definitely true of levels 19 and 21. (Full Circle, Rite of Passage)
      • Medical facilities include:
        • Infirmary (Level 21)
        • Labs (Levels 19 and 21)
          • One of the medical rooms (not the main infirmary, nor Fraiser's office), where Janet brought Hammond and Jonas to look at MRI scans on a lightboard, had a monitor connected to a security camera in the hallway, tracking everyone who came down the hallway to the room. (Prophecy)
        • Isolation rooms (Levels 19 and 21)
        • Operating rooms
        • MRI equipment
      • Levels:
        • Level 19:
          • Elevators on this level require a cardkey to gain access. (Full Circle)
        • Level 21:
          • Fraiser's office (Rite of Passage)
        • Level 25:
        • Gate generator (Sam and Siler were both hurt on level 25 when doing an overhaul of the gate generator when the capacitor blew in a power spike) (Prophecy)
  • Who else knows:
    • Memento -- Vandenburg AFB (gave the okay for the Prometheus to open a hyperspace window on its shakedown cruise)
    • Prophecy -- Dr. Sandy Van Densen, a neurosurgeon called in by Fraiser to conduct the surgery on Jonas to remove the "tumor&quotthat was causing him to be precognitive.
  • Technology:
    • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
      • X-303:
        • (Rearranged things to make it easier to find information, adding several breakout sections.)
        • The first ship was finally officially designated Prometheus, and is the first of several X-303s planned. (Memento)
        • Physical structure:
          • Contains a set of transport rings, activated by what appears to be a Goa'uld control panel (a gold-orange panel sitting on the standard battleship-grey walls, and with buttons the same general size as Goa'uld buttons, and that make the same sound Goa'uld buttons do when pushed). The rings function exactly as they do on Goa'uld ships, with an inset in the floor retracting so the rings can pop up, then sliding back out to make the floor solid again after the rings transport people and then return to their storage place below the floor. (Memento)
        • Hyperdrive:
          • The hyperdrive shuts down automatically if the computer detects some instability in the naquadria powering the engines. (Memento)
          • The hyperdrive is fitted with a buffer (like a surge protector), designed to modulate extreme fluctuations in the energy coming from the naquadria. Without the buffer, there's no way to control the naquadria energy, or to predict how far the ship will travel. There's also no way to be sure the naquadria reactor doesn't go critical. (Memento)
            • There are no redundancies built into the buffer system; if it blows, there's no way to repair it without returning to Earth and replacing it (or contacting Earth, and repairing it with a crew sent through the stargate). (Memento)
          • During the ship's shakedown cruise, it passed through intense gravity waves while in hyperspace, and the buffer failed. (Memento)
          • An attempt to use the hyperdrive without the buffer for a few brief moments was enough to cause the reactor to go critical; it had to be jettisoned. (Memento)
        • Shields and weapons:
          • The ship has at least four missile bays. (Memento)
        • Flight capabilities:
          • Travelling with sublight engines, not using the hyperdrive, the Prometheus could travel 0.38 lightyears in about four months (so, obviously, about 0.1 lightyear in a month) (Memento)
        • Crew:
          • SGC personnel, complete with SGC and team patches (no ID on the team designation yet), and with rank insignia, unlike the usual SG field units. They also wear US Space Command patches and patches showing their primary badge (pilot, etc.) and name. (Memento)
          • Exact crew size is unknown.
            • At least three people were stationed on the bridge:
              • Colonel Ronson, in command (Memento)
              • Major Gant -- hyperspace officer, maybe? also responds to a call for weapons to be armed (Memento)
              • unnamed crewmember (Peter something, wearing a senior-pilot badge): Ronson calls him the weapons officer, and the credits list him as navigator (Memento)
              • Two (unnamed) others seen working in the background as well. (Memento)
            • Crewmembers were also walking around the ship.
          • Commanded by Colonel William Ronson. (Memento)
        • Shakedown cruise:
          • SG-1 was aboard in case of emergencies, at the request of generals Greer and Hammond. (Memento)
          • Commanded by Colonel William Ronson. (Memento)
          • The hyperdrive buffer failed while the Prometheus was passing through intense gravity waves while in hyperspace; the computer shut down the hyperdrive and dropped the ship back into normal space. (Memento)
          • An attempt to use the hyperdrive very briefly without the buffer, to reach a nearby world that was believed to have a (possibly buried) stargate resulted in the naquadria reactor going critical, and being jettisoned. (Memento)
          • The EM shockwave of the exploded reactor penetrated the ship's shields, knocking out the primary computer systems, leaving only gravity and life support on most decks. (Memento)
          • The shockwave headed the other direction convinced the people on the planet that they'd been attacked, and they returned the gesture with missiles. (Memento)
          • The Prometheus was forced to land on the moderately hostile world in hopes of finding the stargate; after a brief to-do, they did. (Memento)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • SG units:
    • SG-1:
      • As of late 2002, SG-1 has been to 133 planets (which works out to an average of 22 planets per year). (Memento)
      • SG-1 members are captured, confined, or imprisoned:
        • Memento (Teal'c and Jonas captured by Commander Kalfas after they dug up and restored the local stargate)
        • Prophecy (Jack and Teal'c captured by Chazen and handed over to Lord Mot)
    • SG-3: (...) The team was prepped and ready to go through the gate to P4S-237 to support SG-1 and SG-15 against Mot, but Hammond wouldn't send them because the risk of them walking into an ambush was too high. After SGs 1 & 15 returned safely, SG-3 returned with SG-1 and SG-10 to the planet to mop up the rest of Mot's troops. (Prophecy)
    • SG-10: (...) Assigned (at Jack's request) to go with SG-1 and SG-3 to mop up the rest of Mot's troops on P4S-237, after SG-1 and SG-15's original run-in with them on the planet. (Prophecy)
    • SG-15: (...) Still led by Pierce, SG-15 helped the Tok'ra escape from Anubis's attack on their base in the Risa system, and went with the surviving Tok'ra to the SGC's alpha site. Put in charge of protecting the stargate against all comers when it became clear that there was a saboteur/assassin loose on the alpha site. (Allegiance) Still led by Major Pierce, the team was assigned to go with SG-1 to P4S-237 for a full tactical assessment to determine whether there was a real chance to free the locals from the Goa'uld. The entire team was captured when a local, Chazen, betrayed the movement to free the planet and called Mot in a day early. They escaped with the help of another local, and survived an ambush at the stargate with only one apparently minor injury (not sure which team member was injured). (Prophecy)
  • SG personnel:
    • Major Gant: Part of the shakedown crew on the Prometheus (X-303). She wears a master-pilot badge. Her precise function was never stated, but she gave Colonel Ronson general status reports, and was the person who opened the hyperspace window once they had a go, and ran the diagnostics after it shut down. At a (total) guess, she's the hyperspace officer. (Memento)
    • Colonel William Ronson, USAF: Full-bird colonel. Wears master-pilot badge. Commander of the Prometheus (X-303) on its shakedown mission. He was a bit gung-ho on the idea of drills, battle and otherwise, annoying Jack no end with the constant alarms. Once the shakedown cruise went south and the ship was forced to land, he was less than pleased with the idea of giving the Tagreans an inch, since they were holding weapons on his grounded ship, but gave in when Jack insisted. (Memento)
    • Major Pierce: (...) Still in command of SG-15, he was assigned with his team to go with SG-1 to P4S-237 for a full tactical assessment to determine whether there was a real chance to free the locals from the Goa'uld. The entire team was captured when a local, Chazen, betrayed the movement to free the planet and called Mot in a day early. They escaped with the help of another local, and survived an ambush at the stargate with only one apparently minor injury (not sure which team member was injured). (Prophecy)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Military:
    • Pentagon:
      • General Greer: Exact assignment unknown, but somehow involved in the Prometheus project. He (she? unlikely, but possible, no gender noted) wanted SG-1 along for the shakedown cruise, in the unlikely event of an emergency. (Memento)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Ancients:
    • Culture:
      • Many of them have stuck around closer than was thought -- they're the Ascendants. (Full Circle)
      • The Ancients evolved from race of humans that lived long ago. They were wiped out by a plague that was sweeping across the galaxy; many learned to ascend, and the rest died out. (Full Circle)
      • See Ascendants for more details.
    • Biology:
      • Originally human, more or less; the Ancients evolved from an ancient race of humans. (Full Circle)
      • Currently not applicable; those Ancients that survived a deadly plague learned to ascend, and are now the Ascendants. (Full Circle)
  • Ascendants:
    • Culture:
      • General info:
        • The race is actually what's left of the Ancients, who apparently haven't moved on quite as far as the Asgard believed (or were willing to admit?). The Ancients were evolved of a race of humans who lived long ago; they were being wiped out by a plague, and some learned to ascend. The rest died out. (Full Circle)
        • The Ascendants are generally referred to as "the Others" when not talking about Oma Desala or those who follow her (i.e., those she's ascended, or those who ascended with the help of those she ascended [kids and grandkids, etc., basically]), or other "rebels" (like Orlin). (various eps)
        • Even talking to humans can be considered breaking the rules. (Full Circle)
        • The Others tried to send Anubis back to human existence after he ascended (on his own, apparently), but didn't succeed completely. Daniel didn't know why they never finished the job: it could be because they weren't able to, or just that they didn't care enough to. (Full Circle)
        • See Ancients for more details.
      • Known Ascendants:
        • Oma Desala:
          • Outcast for believing that helping people ascend is the Ascendants's duty. (Full Circle)
          • Those who follow her walk a very thin line with the Others. (Full Circle)
          • If Daniel (or presumably any of her followers) broke the Others's rules and she found out about it, Oma would step in and interfere to stop it, to keep the follower's actions from drawing the Others's attention. (Full Circle)
          • If the Others wanted to (or presumably were given enough reason to, such as her followers breaking the rules), the Others could put a stop to whatever it is that Oma's been working on/toward for a very long time. (Full Circle)
          • She was watching Daniel (and SG-1) on Abydos during the confrontation with Anubis; when Skaara died in battle, she ascended him, along with other combatants. (Full Circle)
            • When Daniel faced Anubis down, Oma interfered, driving him off and leaving Anubis free to strike at Abydos. Her only concession was to ascend all the Abydonians. (Full Circle)
            • She also presented a very real illusion (including a working stargate, which had to be real to be functional) of an intact Abydos long enough for SG-1 to visit and be assured by Skaara that the Abydonians were all ascended, and happy, and were moving on. (nb: it's my assumption that this was illusion, since I doubt she recreated the actual temple; my guess is that she unburied the stargate briefly, created the illusion around it, then reburied it after SG-1 left, when the stargate was supposed to be no longer available, according to Skaara.) (Full Circle)
          • It's entirely unclear exactly what Oma's agenda is -- the only clear thing is that she won't allow anyone to interfere with it, for any reason. (Maternal Instinct, Absolute Power, Meridian, Abyss, Full Circle)
      • "Adopted" Ascendants:
        • Daniel:
          • He seemed to be keeping an eye on things back at the SGC after his ascension, and worked his way around the rules (sorta) to help where he could:
            • He knew what was going on with Jack, and knew where to find him when Jack was being tortured by Baal. Despite technically not being allowed to interfere, Daniel went to Jack to keep him company, and while he wouldn't help Jack escape, he did offer to help him ascend. When Jack refused, it's highly likely (given the timing of events) that Daniel went back to the SGC long enough to nudge Teal'c in the right direction to mount a rescue. (Abyss)
            • He worked his way into Teal'c's hallucinations when Teal'c was delirious from sharing Junior with Bra'tac for several days, giving Teal'c the encouragement to stick it out until help could arrive.
          • He watched over other things, as well -- when Anubis had collected five of the six Eyes of power and was headed for Abydos to collect the sixth, Daniel appeared to Skaara (and a few others) to give them hope, then went to the SGC to recruit Jack (risking appearing to him in an elevator [which Daniel stopped] on the base) and thus the rest of SG-1. He felt obligated not to jeopardize Oma's precarious standing with the Others, so continued to refuse to act directly to influence human existence -- i.e., help in the search for the Eye or the fight against Anubis. (Full Circle)
            • This lasted until Jack lost patience with him as Anubis attacked Abydos, and insisted he cross that very fine line; at that point, Daniel started helping them to look for the Eye of Ra, and from there kept getting more involved until he finally took on Anubis directly. (Full Circle)
            • Got something of a surprise when, looking for the Eye of Ra with Sam and Jonas, he found a tablet, written in the oldest dialect of the Ancients, explaining that the Ascendants are actually the Ancients (evolved of a race of humans who lived long before us, and who were being wiped out by a plague; some learned to ascend, the rest died out). The tablet went on to talk about a lost city that Daniel believed to be incredibly important. (Full Circle)
            • Finding out about the city seemed to spark a plan (in which he threw all "don't interfere&quotrules to the wind without a blink):
              • He warned the System Lords about the Eye of Ra and what it can do, and that Anubis was close to retrieving it. As a result, Yu rallied the System Lords behind him and brought a fleet of motherships to surround Anubis's ship to demand the Eye. (Full Circle)
              • He made a deal with Anubis, promising to deliver the Eye of Ra in return for a promise that Anubis would never harm the people of Abydos. (Full Circle)
              • He hoped that that Anubis and the System Lords would battle it out for the Eye and destroy each other, but even if they weren't wiped out, he figured it would buy the SGC enough time to find the lost city and the cache of Ancient weapons and technology stored there, giving them a huge advantage over Anubis. He promised Jack he would help them find the city. (Full Circle)
              • He was adamant that Jack and SG-1 had to escape Abydos with the tablet; if it fell into Anubis's hands and he found the lost city first, it would be all over. (Full Circle)
              • He promised Jack that nothing would happend to the Abydonians, even if it meant he had to kick Anubis's ass. (Full Circle)
              • He never got the chance; when he faced Anubis down after the System Lords retreated in defeat, Oma interfered, driving him off (to parts/fate unknown) and leaving Anubis free to strike at Abydos. (Full Circle)
          • As of late 2002, had never met any of the Others, just Oma. (Full Circle)
        • Skaara:
          • Oma Desala ascended him during the battle on Abydos against Anubis's forces -- he was the first of the Abydonians to be ascended. His entire people followed shortly after, as Oma refused to allow Daniel to interefere with Anubis to save them, but interfered herself by ascending them all, for reasons unknown.
          • He stuck around in ascended form long enough to reassure Jack and the rest of SG-1 that he and the rest of his people were fine -- death for them had become the next step on the journey.
          • He told Jack that Jack wouldn't see him again, "at least not for a while".
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • Culture:
    • Despite the constant internecine struggles, the Goa'uld have long avoided a particular source of power. Legend has it that there were six "Eyes", including those held by Apophis, Osiris, Tiamat, and Ra. Separately, they were very powerful; combined, their power increased tenfold. Anubis eventually managed to track down five of the six Eyes, lacking only Ra's. (He has to have dug the Eye of Tiamat out of the rubble where Marduk died in The Tomb.) (Full Circle)
  • System Lords:
    • Anubis: (...)
      • He's not a pure Goa'uld any longer: he's half-ascended. The Goa'uld in him figured out how to ascend long ago, but the Others didn't want him, and sent him back. It didn't quite work, though; they couldn't send him all the way back. (Full Circle)
        • He's still some form of energy (glowing white, like Ascendants/Ancients), kept intact by his face shield (and presumably his other clothing/armor). But he's stuck halfway between human existence and ascension. (Full Circle)
      • Uses a mix of regular Jaffa and ninja (ish) Jaffa. (Descent, Full Circle)
      • First Prime was/is Herak. (Full Circle)
      • Gathered together five of the six Eyes (including the Eye of Tiamat, which he has to have dug out of the rubble where Marduk died in The Tomb) of legend, lacking only Ra's. He searched all of Ra's old hangouts until only Abydos was left, and made his way there to search for it. (Full Circle)
        • In his initial attack on Abydos in search of the Eye of Ra, he sent in a double wave -- death gliders and al-kesh at the same time. Ground forces landed almost immediately thereafter. (Full Circle)
        • The System Lords rallied behind Yu to try to keep him from getting or keeping the Eye of Ra; Anubis waited until he had the Eye in hand, then powered up his weapons and attacked, wiping out a portion of the fleet and running the rest off. (Full Circle)
        • Daniel, in an attempt to both save Abydos and keep Anubis from finding a tablet of the Ancients's with information about a vital lost city, went to Anubis to make a deal: the lives of SG-1 and all the Abydonians in return for the Eye of Ra (which Jack had). Anubis accepted the deal. After he took care of the System Lords, he reneged, attacking Abydos with powerful weapons and killing everyone by causing a massive explosion in the temple with a deadly shockwave effect. (Full Circle)
      • Anubis's technology: (...)
        • His flagship isn't a ha'tak; rather than being pyramidal, it's more circular (but not spherical; it has a main, wide disk with a second, smaller tiered disk on top of it), and rather than being mostly golden, it's black. The interior is more traditionally Goa'uld, with pyramidal/triangular shapes, lots of black and gold, and open flames for lighting/effect. (Full Circle)
          • In battle, the ship's configuration changes, with a central column rising up where the smaller round tier was, with triangular panels radiating outward from the top of the (now flat-topped) column. (The panels folded out from their non-battle state, where they were basically the outer layer of the smaller round tier.) (Full Circle)
          • Power surges up the central column and out through the triangular panels, allowing Anubis to attack in several directions at once with incredibly powerful weapons, easily capable of penetrating a ha'tak's shields. (Full Circle)
    • Baal: (...)
      • At one time, had the planet P4S-237 (where Ellori's people lived) as part of his dominion; he gave it up more than a hundred years ago. (Prophecy)
      • Somewhere between Abyss and Prophecy, he suffered a military defeat at Yu's hands; Anubis was very disappointed in him. Baal's campaign was meant to be a final crushing blow, but Yu escaped, and Baal suffered heavy losses. (Prophecy)
    • Ra: (...) Possessed one of the six Eyes, which he kept hidden in a secret chamber, itself hidden inside another secret chamber (the outer one for general treasures, the inner one solely for the Eye) under his temple. The outer chamber was accessible only by shining a laser on a specific spot on the door; unknown by what mechanism the inner chamber was accessed (Sam shot it open). (Full Circle)
    • Tiamat: She was part of the Babylonian creation myth, as a winged serpent: Marduk slew her and used half of her body to form the sky, and the other half to form the earth. (The Tomb) Little is known about her as a System Lord, other than that she possessed one of the six Eyes (Full Circle) and was definitely connected to Marduk; he had the Eye of Tiamat in the ziggurat where he was entombed (The Tomb).
    • Yu: (...)
      • Somewhere between Abyss and Prophecy, he gained a military win over Baal that was sufficient to leave Anubis very disappointed in Baal. Baal's campaign was meant to be a final crushing blow, but Yu escaped, and Baal suffered heavy losses. (Prophecy)
      • As of Prophecy, Yu remained the sole System Lord in opposition to Anubis.
      • Finally rallied the other System Lords behind him, and headed a fleet that confronted Anubis over Abydos. Yu demanded that Anubis hand over the Eye of Ra, or face destruction. Anubis attacked first, destroying part of the fleet and forcing the rest into retreat. Unknown whether Yu survived the battle or not. (Full Circle)
  • Minor Goa'uld:
    • Mot: (mythologically, the Canaanite god of death, who was defeated by Baal and forced to live in the underworld; in Goa'uld terms, there was likely a power struggle between the two, and Baal won and forced Mot into servitude) Set himself up as an emissary of Baal, to continue taking tribute (in the form of naquadah) from P4S-237 (where Ellori's people lived, a planet Baal abandoned a hundred years or more ago. He never passed the naquadah along; was probably saving/using it to build himself a powerbase. He earned the enmity of the local village when, after a winter that had brought a terrible sickness (so that many of the villagers couldn't work, and thus there wasn't enough naquadah to meet the tribute), he chose ten of the sickest -- including the headman's son-in-law -- and executed them in front of the entire village. He had a spy on the planet -- Chazen -- who informed Mot of Ellori's plan to have SG-1 (and SG-15) help them free themselves of Mot. Mot left it to Chazen to capture them all (using a Goa'uld shock bomb), then arrived a day early to ensure that any plans would fail. He spoke with the Tau'ri long enough to make it plain that he knew about the iris and the need for a code, and he'd guessed correctly which part of their equipment sent it. After that, he allowed SG-1 and SG-15 to escape, hoping they would walk into an ambush by the gate (an ambush that included their opening the gate and sending through the iris code, which Mot badly wanted). When Chazen inadvertantly ruined the ambush by sounding the alarm, Mot started to ribbon him to death. Before he could finish, Natania (the headman's daughter) shot him with a Tau'ri pistol, then shot him again to make sure he was dead. (Prophecy)
  • Language:
    • sha lo key: (slight emphasis on the "lo") "stand beside me", probably specifically meaning the equivalent of "be my best man&quotat a wedding (Skaara says this to Jack when speaking of his upcoming wedding). Possibly purely an Abydonian term. (Full Circle)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Herak: First Prime of Anubis, by all appearances. He also appeared in The Other Guys, and presumably whatever that ep was about, it had at least some basis in reality, because Herak recognized Jack, who had a few rather snide things to say in return. (Full Circle)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Known Tok'ra:
    • Sina: Host's name unknown. She brought information about Baal to the SGC. (Prophecy)
• Added to Misc. Races:
  • Humans:
    • Abydonians:
      • The walls on one of Abydos's caves were covered in stargate addresses; Daniel found the cave and figured it out, and when he explained it, Sam videotaped the walls, giving the SGC the "Abydos cartouche"-- hundreds of addresses to go to, without having to guess at them. (Children of the Gods)
      • "The caves of Kaleemah"-- supposed to be a safe place to hide; possibly the same caves where the villagers hid from Ra in the movie. (Full Circle)
      • Abydos faced a brutal attack by Anubis; the women and children hid in the caves of Kaleemah (led there and guarded by Kasuf), while the men and boys used Tau'ri weapons to defend their village and the temple. (Full Circle)
        • Several of the Abydonian boys/young men, including Skaara, were wearing at least partial military garb, specifically the black vest. (Full Circle)
        • Oma Desala began ascending the dead and dying Abydonians during the battle. (Full Circle)
        • Anubis finally unleashed the full destructive force of his mothership against the planet, focusing its power on the temple. The temple exploded in layers, and the explosions worked their way into the ground from there, travelling outward, wreaking utter havoc on the world (or at least the known populated part of it). Oma ascended all the Abydonians. (Full Circle)
        • The Abydonians (or at least some of them) remained in ascended form long enough for SG-1 to return (thanks to Oma, who built an illusionary temple for them to return to, including working stargate) and see that they were all okay in their own way, then left. (Full Circle)
        • The Abydonian stargate worked only long enough to let SG-1 visit and return almost immediately. After that, it was gone (reburied?). (Full Circle)
      • Known Abydonians:
        • Kasuf: (...) He led the women and children to the caves of Kaleemah to keep them safe from Anubis's attack. He died along with everyone else in the shockwave from the exploding temple. (Full Circle)
      • Skaara: (...)
        • Apparently he did go back to Abydos after Pretense, at least at some point. (Full Circle
        • His style of dress after he returned to Abydos reflected a mix of Tau'ri and Abydonian -- SGC uniform pants (belted with a rope) and black vest, under traditional Abydonian robes. (Full Circle)
        • He was betrothed (the woman's name is unknown), and wanted Jack to "sha lo key"-- stand beside him at the ceremony. (Full Circle)
        • Daniel's urging and promise of support helped Skaara believe that the Abydonians could hold off Anubis. He in turn convinced the other boys and young men, assuring them that with Daniel's godlike help, they would succeed. (Full Circle)
        • During the battle with Anubis's Jaffa in Ra's temple, he took a staff blast to the torso. He lived long enough to be brought to the lower level of the temple with SG-1, but died shortly thereafter. He ascended as he died, helped by Oma. (Full Circle)
          • He was the ascended Abydonian who spoke with SG-1 (the others were all around, but not particularly interacting with the team) to assure them that although everyone had been killed in the final blast, they were all just fine. (Full Circle)
          • In his ascended form, he retained the quasi-military dress, but with the black vest open instead of closed. (Full Circle)
          • He hadn't seen Daniel since his (Skaara's) ascension. (Full Circle)
    • Ellori's people:
      • Planet: local name unknown. SGC planet designation P4S-237 (Prophecy)
      • The people have an ancient prophecy that one day strangers would come through the chapa'ai (stargate) to slay the gods and free their people. (Prophecy)
      • The people live in what appear to be at least semi-permanent tents (all black) around the entrance to the naquadah mine, and are very poor. (Prophecy)
      • Although Baal, their supposed god, hasn't shown his face in a hundred years or so, his "emissary" still arrives regularly to pick up the tribute -- Lord Mot (who in fact was stealing the tribute, which Baal had long forgotten about). (Prophecy)
      • Mot earned the enmity of the local village when, after a winter that had brought a terrible sickness (so that many of the villagers couldn't work, and thus there wasn't enough naquadah to meet the tribute), he chose ten of the sickest -- including the headman's son-in-law -- and executed them in front of the entire village. Most of the villagers wanted to be rid of him more than anything. (Prophecy)
      • The locals have a strong sedative -- kelmina root, which can knock someone out for hours, even a Jaffa. (Prophecy)
      • Known natives:
        • Chazen: Still believed that the Goa'uld were the rightful rulers of the planet. When he realized that Ellori was happily colluding with SG-1 and SG-15 to destroy Lord Mot and free the locals, he called Mot on a long-range communicator and got him to come a day early, before anyone was prepared. When SG-1 and SG-15 escaped, he took it upon himself to sound the alarm, inadvertantly warning them that they were being pursued and giving them time to prepare for an attack. Mot was displeased -- he'd allowed the escape, hoping the Tau'ri would walk into the trap he had set by the stargate (and give him access to the SGC by having first opened the gate and sent the IDC). Mot ribboned Chazen nearly to death for upsetting his plans; only Natania's interference (she shot Mot) saved Chazen. (Prophecy)
      • Ellori: Local headman, to all appearances. Father of Natania. He started dropping hints as early as possible about wanting SG-1 to free his people from Lord Mot; after a while, they stopped being hints. He had a personal reason for wanting Mot dead or gone: the previous year, after a bad, illness-stricken winter for the village in which they couldn't mine enough naquadah to meet the tribute, Mot took ten of the sickest -- including Ellori's son-in-law -- and executed them in front of the entire village. When Mot arrived a day early to put down the signs of local rebellion, he held Ellori in the village, to make an example of him. (Prophecy)
      • Natania: Ellori's daughter. Widowed after Mot took her husband as one of the ten sickest villagers and executed them all as punishment to the village for not having mined enough naquadah, after a winter filled with terrible sickness. She was completely in sympathy with her father's plans to rid the village of Mot's rule. After Chazen captured SG-1 and SG-15 for Mot, she drugged the guards and freed both teams, leading them back to the stargate when Jack told her they couldn't rescue her captured father without reinforcements. While they were off battling a Jaffa ambush, Natania took matters into her own hand: she shot Mot twice with a Tau'ri pistol, killing him (and saving Chazen's life -- Mot had been ribboning him to death at the time). Strong, smart, practical, capable woman. (Prophecy)
      • Sendear: One of Chazen's followers; he was sent to check on the prisoners after Chazen heard Hammond warning them about a trap on their captured radios. (Prophecy)
    • Tagreans:
      • Planet Tagrea, SGC designation P3X-744 (Memento)
        • One of the planets listed on the Abydos cartouche; the SGC had had no luck contacting it, and assumed that the stargate was buried. (Memento)
      • Originally one of Heru'ur's worlds; he apparently abandoned it centuries or more ago. (Memento)
      • First exposure to the SGC was when the Prometheus's naquadria reactor exploded above their atmosphere, in what looked to them like an unprovoked attack by aliens. They responded by launching long-range ballistic missiles. (Memento)
      • The halls in the main building (apparently the focal point of political power, probably at least vaguely equivalent to the White House) have highly stylized hawk images on the walls, and the conference tables are triangular -- very probably remnants of when Heru'ur was the true power on the planet (nb: the last bit is a compete guess on my part, but I think it makes sense given that Heru'ur's symbol was a hawk, and the Goa'uld used triangles everywhere). (Memento)
      • The artwork in the main political building was abstract, mainly consisting of color blocks arranged in circles and squares (and portions of both) (Memento)
      • Tagreans call the stargate "the ring of the gods", and considered it a myth, with no evidence to prove its existence. (Memento)
      • Their history goes back only 300 years; prior to that, according to their oral history, Tagrea lived through a long, terrible dark age, which the people wanted to forget. Thus, it wasn't until after they emerged from it that historians began to record events again. All evidence of anything that happened during their more ancient (more than 300 years ago) history was destroyed -- almost. A few fragments survived, but nothing more. (Memento)
        • The Tagreans generally believe that what happened before Year Zero has nothing to do with their current society, and therefore doesn't matter. As Kalfas put it, "The society of the new era has no need to know how they suffered."(Memento)
        • More likely, Heru'ur abandoned the planet, and the de facto freed slaves destroyed every trace of him and the culture surrounding him they could, eventually building a new society out of the wreckage. The stargate itself was buried under a stone reading "Here lies the chapa'ai of Heru'ur, false god to the people of Tagrea. May it never know the daylight again."(Memento)
        • A few modern Tagreans still believe in Heru'ur as their creator, and have sought out relics of the past. One in particular, Tarek Solamon, had a piece of ancient writing (in a variant of pre-Dynastic Egyptian) that just happened to contain directions to the buried stargate. (Memento)
      • Known Tagreans:
        • Chairman Ashwan: The Tagreans's political leader. He was at odds with Commander Kalfas about how to react to the presence of aliens on their world -- he thought it was a great opportunity. He had hand-picked the commanders of the dirigibles that were guarding the downed Prometheus, so when Kalfas staged what amounted to the beginnings of a coup (capturing Jonas and Teal'c against Ashwan's wishes, after they had found and unburied the stargate), Ashwan ordered that the Prometheus be allowed to go freely to aid their comrades. To prove his sincerity, he travelled aboard the ship with the crew and SG-1. He faced down Kalfas at the stargate site, winning back control of his people and military and freeing the captured SG-1 members. (The absolute hugeness of the Prometheus, hovering over everyone's heads with lots of weapons, probably helped.) He made the stargate freely available for travel back to Earth (and presumably for travellers from Earth to return and begin repairs on the Prometheus). (Memento)
        • Commander Kalfas: The first Tagrean to make contact with the SGC. Commander of the Tagrean Security Forces. He didn't want aliens on his planet, and didn't trust any of the SGC people he met. After arguing steadily with Ashwan about how to handle the situation, Kalfas finally took matters into his own hands, capturing Teal'c and Jonas at the site of the newly dug up stargate. His victory didn't last long; Ashwan arrived on the Prometheus, and between the ship's presence and Ashwan's rhetoric, the coup ended rapidly. (Memento)
        • Tarek Solamon: Professor of mathematics at the university where Teal'c and Jonas were going through archives in search of some hint of the Tagreans's history that mentioned the stargate. He'd spent his life seeking out artifacts and relics of the Tagreans's ancient history, and was a staunch believer (one of the few) in Heru'ur as creator-god -- even going so far as to wear a hawk necklace. He had several relics in his possession, including a bit of a text (in pre-Dynastic Egyptian) that happened to give fairly specific directions on where to find the buried stargate. He was captured along with Jonas, Teal'c, and the rest of the digging cew when Kalfas staged something of a coup at the stargate site. (Memento)
      • Technology:
        • Powered flight
          • Some sort of dirigible, with ballons that are more rounded than the dirigibles that were built on Earth. (Memento)
        • Powered land vehicles (Memento)
          • Tanks (Memento)
          • Trains -- they looked high-speed, but not mag-lev. (Memento)
        • Weapons: projectile, much like Earth weapons (recognizable rifles, etc.). (Memento)
• Added to Miscellaneous:
  • Nicknames, diminutives, etc.
    • Jack calls Teal'c "T"
      • Memento
  • Movie inconsistencies (with apologies to A, whom I promised I would add this a couple of months ago):
    • Movie: The Goa'uld was more or less humanoid.
    • Series: Goa'uld are reptilian.

April 27, 2003

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through The Changeling
• Added to:
  • Daniel:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Confirmed deaths:
        • Returned a second time to give Teal'c the hope to hang on until he could be found and healed, after an ambush against rebel Jaffa that nearly killed Teal'c (and Bra'tac). He appeared within one of Teal'c's ongoing hallucinations (of himself as a firefighter) as a psychologist, helping "T" deal with being a kidney donor. (The Changeling)
  • Sam:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Vehicle:
        • Amended "As of sixth season, was driving something different -- I have no idea what it is (if anyone knows for sure, please drop me a line and I'll add it), but it's a late model silver four-door sedan, with keyless entry and a sunroof." to "As of sixth season, she was driving a late-model (2000 or later) silver four-door Volvo s80, with keyless entry and a sunroof."
      • Miscellaneous:
        • Pronounces the "h&quotin "herbal"(The Changeling)
  • Jonas:
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Miscellaneous:
        • Answers his base phone "Jonas."(Forsaken)
  • Teal'c:
    • General info:
      • Nearly died when Goa'uld ambushed a meeting of rebel Jaffa; more than a hundred other Jaffa were killed, leaving only Teal'c and Bra'tac alive. Teal'c saved them by transferring Junior back and forth between them for three days, until the rest of SG-1 found them. He was in a delusional/hallucinatory state almost the entire time, with Daniel there to help him through it. The symbiote had been working so hard to keep them both alive that it was dying itself when they were found, and hadn't the strength to heal even one of them. Instead, Teal'c was given a new, experimental form of tretonin that the Tok'ra had been working on (as was Bra'tac). It worked, but Teal'c became as dependent on the drug as he had been on the symbiote. (The Changeling)
    • Detailed breakdown:
      • Housing:
        • His base quarters have gradually picked up more stuff over the years, including several small tables with drawers and a small bookcase with an assortment of books in it. (nb: this is more of a probability than a fact; this was in a hallucination, but I think it probably reflects the reality fairly accurately.) (The Changeling)
      • Near deaths :
        • Spent three days sharing a symbiote with Bra'tac after an amush that killed more than a hundred rebel Jaffa, and was very close to death when SG-1 found them. Junior was too weak to help either of them anymore, and Teal'c wound up being given an experimental new form of tretonin instead. (The Changeling)
      • Food preferences:
        • Doesn't like milk. (The Changeling)
        • Not overly fond of herbal tea. (The Changeling)
      • Miscellaneous:

        • Had two main, ongoing hallucinations during The Changeling while trying to keep himself and Bra'tac alive while sharing one symbiote between them. The hallucinations intertwined, flipping back and forth with no real warning, but with overlapping conversations/situations:

          • He was a member of the Coquitlam Fire Rescue, along with Jack (the station chief), Sam (the station's captain) and Jonas (a "probie", in a pink "New Guy&quotapron, still learning the ropes).
            • Teal'c wasn't wearing any stripes -- no rank, presumably.
            • His name throughout this is "T"; seems to be what he considers his "human&quotname.
            • Bra'tac was his stepfather, "Brae", who was desperately in need of a kidney transplant.
            • He was married to (or at least living very happily with) Shauna (Shan'auc)
            • Apophis showed up several times: as a surgeon in a dream/nightmare within the hallucination; as a car-accident victim; a surgeon again, telling Teal'c he could not escape his fate (as shol'va).
          • He was a member of the SGC, but an SGC that was just slightly off from the reality.
            • He couldn't achieve kelno'reem, no matter how hard he tried.
            • Within this hallucination, saw Apophis (dressed in CotG garb) telling him he was afraid to die because he was afraid to face Apophis in the afterlife; the hallucination flipped almost instantly back to the firefighter one.
• Added to SGC:
  • Weapons and tactics:
    • (Not really a weapon, but SG members carry plastic restraints as part of their standard gear. (The First Ones, Forsaken))
      
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • Personnel:
    • Fraiser:
      • Pulls medical rank:
        • The Changeling (in Teal'c's hallucination, forces him to stay in the infirmary for observation)
  • Units:
    • SG-1:
      • Captured, confined, imprisoned:
        • Forsaken (Sam captured and left as bait for first Jonas then Jack and Teal'c; Jonas [deliberately] captured and used as a hostage so the Hebridan prisoners could escape through the stargate)
    • SG-15:
      • Assigned to return with Sam to the planet where the Hebridans had crashed, as backup against the attacking "aliens"(actually just members of the alien half of the Hebridan mixed culture, and the original guards of the prisoners posing as the downed ship's crew). They were left to guard the stargate against any incursion by more of the aliens. (Forsaken)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • According to Jaffa legend, if a Jaffa goes without his symbiote for any length of time, his life flashes before his eyes. (The Changeling)
    • Rebellion:
      • A supposed meeting of rebel leaders was actually an ambush; over a hundred rebel Jaffa were killed. Only Bra'tac and Teal'c survived -- barely. (The Changeling)
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Bra'tac:
      • Nearly died at what was supposed to be a meeting of rebel Jaffa leaders, but was actually an ambush. Teal'c saved his life by sharing his symbiote for three days, until the rest of SG-1 found them both and brought them back to the SGC. The symbiote was too badly damaged to heal even one of them at that point; both survived only because Jacob brought a new version of tretonin, designed to support Jaffa life without the aid of symbiotes. (The Changeling)
        • Bra'tac became as dependent on the new tretonin as he had been on his symbiote as a result. (The Changeling)
        • Unclear what effect this will have on Bra'tac's aging process; he would have died within a year or two had he kept his symbiote.
  • Biology:
    • The Jaffa is in complete control of his thoughts while in kelno'reem; it's not like dreaming (The Changeling)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Culture:
    • Tok'ra and Jaffa:
      • The Tok'ra developed a new version of tretonin, the drug made of "ground Goa'uld"(in Jack's words) used by the Pangarans to prolong their lives. The new version was designed specifically for Jaffa, to replace the effects of having a symbiote. Out of necessity, the drug was first tried on Teal'c and Bra'tac. (The Changeling)
• Added to Misc. Races:
  • Aliens:
    • Serrakin:
      • Home planet is Hebridan.
      • The alien half of the Hebridan culture.
      • Physically humanoid (bipedal, upright, stereo vision and hearing, 5 digits per hand, general body size and facial features similar to humans), but apparently totally hairless, with some differentiating skull marking/structures, and skin coloring of a greenish-brown.
      • They helped liberate the Hebridans from the Goa'uld thousands of years ago.
      • They have lived in harmony with the Hebridans since liberating them, and gave them advanced technology.

        Known Serrakin:

        • Warrick: Actual captain of the Sebrus, a prison transport ship taking Corso, Pender, and Reynard to a prison colony. The ship got caught in an asteroid storm and began to lose power, and Warrick set down on a planet, then took the three prisoners out of transport stasis. His crew of eight (including himself) watched them in shifts. (The crew was mixed-race; at least one member was human, and left the distress recording that Sam found.) He and his first officer were out looking for supplies when the prisoners overpowered the rest of their guards and killed them in cold blood. The prisoners spent the next three years hunting the captain and his first mate down. Warrick was married to a human Hebridan, Athea.
  • Humans:
    • Hebridans:
      • Home planet is Herbridan.
      • The human half of the culture from Hebridan; apparently descended of ancient Celts.
      • Their world has no stargate; they achieved interstellar travel with ships, and thanks to an alien race -- the Serrakin -- that joined forces and cultures with them to help them advance.
      • The combined culture is truly mixed, including inter-species marriage.
      • Technology:
        • Ships capable of interstellar flight.
        • Equipped with sonic defenses, clearly meant for use on planets. It emits a deafening noise in a bandwidth that affects the alien half of the culture more strongly than the human half (although humans are also definitely affected).
        • Engines far more advanced than anything anyone on Earth could build. They use liquid nitrogen to fuel an ion propulsion system.
        • Photographic technology very similar to ours.

          Known Hebridans

          • Athea: Wife of Warrick, a Serrakin member of the Hebradin culture.
          • Aden Corso: ("Aden&quotafter his uncle Aden who died swimming drunk across a river on a dare; "Corso&quotmeans "smells like a dead bird" in ancient Hebridian.) "Captain&quotof a group of escaped prisoners. Their ship (the Sebrus) had been forced to land after being caught in an asteroid storm while transporting three prisoners to a prison colony, and the captain, Warrick, had been forced to free the prisoners from stasis to keep them from dying. They had overpowered six of their eight guards and killed them (the other two were off looking for food), taking control of the ship and its defenses. They were busy still trying to find and kill their remaining two guards when SG-1 found them three years later. The three prisoners concocted a tale of being attacked by "aliens", hoping to enlist SG-1's help in killing Warrick and his first officer. He managed to sound credibly like the ship's captain at first, conning SG-1 into helping him and his people. He claimed that the "aliens"(his original captors) had killed five of his crew since the crash, skinning them and hanging the bodies in the trees. He spent a lot of time alone with Sam while she worked on repairing the Sebrus's engines, flirting with her for most of it. He almost lost control of his con when it became clear that Sam had indeed repaired the ship's power supply; he began accusing her of helping them for no other reason than to gain access to the Hebridans's technology. He kept trying, though; a while later, when Sam had discovered that the Sebrus had been a prison transport, Corso spun a tale of how he'd allowed the prisoners to escape during the storm, when life support when out in the cells. He claimed that the "aliens&quotwho had been attacking them on the planet were prisoners of war.
          • Lyle Pender: "Navigator&quotamong a group of escaped prisoners.
