Spanning ten years and several films, Stargate SG-1 developed an extensive and detailed backdrop of diverse characters. Many of the characters are members of alien species discovered while exploring the galaxy through the Stargate, although there are an equal number of characters from offworld human civilizations. While Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis are separate shows, they take part in the same fictional universe, so no character is internally show-specific.

Teal'c | Christopher Judge | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | |||
Teal'c [ˈtiːəlk] is a Jaffa from the planet Chulak. He is played by Christopher Judge in a regular role in seasons 1–10, in both direct-to-DVD films and in season 5 of Stargate Atlantis. Teal'c states that he is 101 years old in season 3's "The Light", and ages an additional 50 years in season 10's "Unending". His catchphrase is "Indeed". Teal'c's most notable feature is a golden tattoo on his forehead, a sign that he once served the Goa'uld Apophis as First Prime, the highest Jaffa rank. His interaction with Bra'tac (Apophis' former First Prime) and his own personal experiences led him to doubt the divinity of the Goa'uld.[1]
Teal'c defects from Apophis in the pilot episode and joins the SG-1 team, believing this to be an opportunity to eventually defeat the Goa'uld and bring freedom to all Jaffa.[2] He leaves his wife Drey'auc and his son Rya'c behind on Chulak. After succeeding in killing Apophis in season 5's "Enemies", Teal'c and Bra'tac make first progress in uniting a sizable group of Jaffa resistance warriors in season 5's "The Warrior".

Teal'c and Bra'tac eventually lead the Jaffa to victory over the Goa'uld in season 8's "Reckoning"/"Threads". Teal'c is chosen as a member of the new Jaffa High Council and supports Bra'tac as an interim leader in season 9's "The Fourth Horseman" before a type of government is solidified. | |||||
George Hammond | Don S. Davis | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 6, 7 | 8, 9, 10 | ||
George Hammond is a United States Air Force Major General (later Lieutenant General) who commands Stargate Command in the first seven seasons. He is played by Don S. Davis in a regular role in seasons 1–7 and in a recurring role afterwards. He also appears in Stargate: Continuum and season 1 of Stargate Atlantis. Hammond took over from Major General West, commander of the Stargate Project in the original Stargate film, and originally intended the Stargate Program to be his last assignment before retirement.[2] General Hammond worked at the Cheyenne Mountain complex (the present-day location of Stargate Command) in 1969.[3] Hammond originates from Texas[4] and became a widower when his wife died of cancer. He has two grandchildren, Kayla and Tessa.[5]
Hammond briefly retires under duress in season 5's "Chain Reaction"[5] and is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General at the beginning of season 8, being placed in command of the new Homeworld Security command, a department in control of Stargate Command, the Prometheus project, and the Atlantian Antarctica outpost. Hammond recurs in the season 1 of Stargate Atlantis and seasons 8 through 10 of Stargate SG-1. Hammond appears in a civilian suit instead of a military uniform in season 9's Template:Sgcite, and Carter confirms his retired status in season 10's "The Road Not Taken". In his last appearance in the alternate timeline film Stargate: Continuum, Hammond acts as a military advisor to President Henry Hayes. | |||||
Jonas Quinn | Corin Nemec | 6 | 5, 7 | ||
Jonas Quinn is an alien from the planet Langara. He is played by former Parker Lewis Can't Lose actor Corin Nemec in a regular role in season 6, and in a recurring capacity in seasons 5 and 7. Jonas leaves his homeplanet Langara the penultimate season 5 episode "Meridian" after witnessing Daniel Jackson's lethal sacrifice and the following gleeful reaction of his planet's leaders. He is a fast learner and fills Daniel's empty spot on SG-1 in season 6. Following Daniel's return at the beginning of season 7, Jonas returns to his planet and last appears in the mid-season 7 episode "Fallout".
Corin Nemec replaced Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) during season 6 after Shanks had left the show amid controversy after season 5.[6] The producers based Jonas's motivation to join SG-1 on his momentary reluctance to actively prevent Daniel's death and his feelings of responsibility afterwards.[7] Jonas was slowly integrated into the story in a prolonged transition stage over the first half of season 6.[8][9] Nemec was open to continue playing Jonas Quinn after season 6, but a new contract was reached with Michael Shanks for Daniel to return in season 7.[8] The role of Jonas was reduced to recurring status in season 7. | |||||
Cameron Mitchell | Ben Browder | 9, 10 | 7 | ||
Cameron "Cam" Mitchell is a United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. He is played by former Farscape actor Ben Browder in a regular role in seasons 9–10 and in both direct-to-DVD films. Mitchell is introduced in "Avalon" as the leader of a squadron of F-302s against the forces of the arch villain Anubis in season 7's "Lost City". Assigned as the new commanding officer of SG-1 at the beginning of season 9, Mitchell struggles to reunite the team's former members under his command. Assisted by Carter (who is of equal rank), he remains in command of SG-1 throughout the series run and both films. He is promoted to the rank of full-bird Colonel in Stargate: Continuum.
Ben Browder joined the cast after Richard Dean Anderson's departure from Stargate SG-1 in 2005. From the beginning, producer Robert C. Cooper wanted Mitchell to be a "super fan" of SG-1 who is openly enthusiastic about exploring the galaxy.[10][11] Mitchell is often at at the center of the action and fight sequences.[12] The producers did not realize the physical resemblence between Browder and Michael Shanks when Browder was cast, and employed make-up and costuming techniques to make the transition easier for the audience.[13] The writers' decision to put Mitchell in command of SG-1 instead of Carter was met with resistance by some critics and audience members.[14][15] For his portrayal of Cameron Mitchell, Ben Browder was nominated for a Saturn Award in the category "Best Supporting Actor on Television" in 2006.[16] | |||||
Hank Landry | Beau Bridges | 9, 10 | — | ||
Henry "Hank" Landry is a United States Air Force Major General and the commander of Stargate Command from season 9 onwards.[17] He is played by Beau Bridges in a regular role in seasons 9–10, in both direct-to-DVD films, and in the Stargate Atlantis episodes "The Intruder", "Critical Mass", "No Man's Land", and the two-part episode "The Return" of seasons 2 and 3. General Landry is introduced in SG-1's season 9 premiere, "Avalon", having been hand-picked by Jack O'Neill to succeed him.[18] Landry once served as a pilot in the Vietnam War[19] and met a Vietnamese woman named Kim Lam.[20] They had a child, Carolyn Lam, but Landry became estranged to them and left them due to his involvement in military intelligence.[21] Carolyn Lam grew up to be a doctor and was assigned to Stargate Command as chief medical officer in seasons 9 and 10. Bridges said that "Landry truly loves his work [but] respects and appreciates his daughter. He wants a real relationship with her and hopes that will happen some day. At the start of [season 9], you're not sure what their relationship is."[21] The late season 10 episode "Family Ties" brings some conclusion to the Landry-Lam enstrangement, showing a reunification between Landry, Carolyn and Kim Lam in a restaurant.
TV Zone's Steven Eramo described Landry as "fair, intelligent, even-tempered and having a good sense of humour".[22] Bridges thought that "[Landry] likes to empower his team. He realizes how challenged they are. It's a huge burden to protect their country from the entire galaxy, but he also recognizes that, like himself, they are human beings. [...] Sometimes he does that with a bark, and sometimes with a bite, but he also has a sense of humor, this man. And he likes to fool with people."[23] According to Bridges, Landry appreciates Carter's knowledge, and needed some patience with the fast-speaking Daniel Jackson to realize "how important a piece of puzzle" he is. He respects Teal'c as a warrior, and is willing to foster the potential he sees in Vala.[22] The Stargate producers approached Beau Bridges, a self-claimed fan of science fiction,[23] directly to play the role of Hank Landry.[21] Although the producers had some ideas for the characters, they collaborated with Bridges to develop the character's backstory before the writing of season 9 began.[23] Bridges wanted the character to be three-dimensional by revealing a layered backstory over the course of the show.[24] Bridges researched famous Air Force generals from George Washington to John P. Jumper to get a feeling for the role.[21] He accumulated quotes by generals that Landry would respect, and gave the list to producer Robert C. Cooper, who in turn used it as free research.[24] Bridges made no deliberate effort to distinguish his character from General O'Neill, believing that the character could stand on his own.[23] | |||||
Vala Mal Doran | Claudia Black | 10 | 8, 9 | ||
Vala Mal Doran is a sexy con artist from an unnamed planet and a former human host to the Goa'uld Qetesh. She is played by former Farscape actress Claudia Black in a regular role in season 10 after having recurred in seasons 8 and 9 of SG-1. Her first appearance in season 8's "Prometheus Unbound" is followed by a recurring role in season 9, where she and Daniel unintentionally set off the new Ori threat. She joins SG-1 after giving birth to the new leader of the Ori at the beginning of season 10, and appears in both direct-to-DVD films.
Vala was created by Damian Kindler and Robert C. Cooper as a one-time character, but because of the on-screen chemistry between Black's Vala and Shanks' character Daniel Jackson, and the character's popularity with the producers and the audience, Claudia Black became a recurring guest star in season 9 and joined the main cast in season 10. For her portrayal of Vala, Claudia Black was nominated for a 2006 Saturn Award in the category "Best Supporting Actress on Television",[25] and won a Constellation Award in the category "Best Female Performance in a 2006 Science Fiction Television" in 2007.[26] |

Stargate Command characters
The Stargate Command SGC is a fictional military base at the Cheyenne Mountain complex near Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is the main setting in Stargate SG-1 and occasionally features on Stargate Atlantis. The base extends many levels beneath the ground and is protected from most forms of attack including indirect nuclear detonations, also serving to contain biological, chemical or alien hazards to the outside world by means of a 'lockdown' status, as seen in the SG-1 episode (Foothold) Stargate Command is typically commanded by a General and is staffed by subject matter experts and military support personnel, several elite special operations teams, and several SG teams, including SG-1. The majority of the teams are US Air Force with some US Marine Corps, civilians and US Army, but other nations have SG teams operating from the SGC as well after the events of season 5.

After her introduction in season 1's "The Broca Divide", she is shown with a Captain insignia in "Hathor" and is promoted to Major in Season 3. In season 1's "Singularity", Fraiser adopts Cassandra, an alien orphan whose people had been exterminated by the Goa'uld System Lord Nirrti. The relationship is revisted in season 5's "Rite of Passage". Dr. Fraiser is killed by a staffweapon blast in season 7's "Heroes" during an off-world medical emergency, but she returns in season 9's "Ripple Effect" as a parallel universe version of Dr. Fraiser, in her reality a regular member of SG-1. Before Fraiser returns to her reality, Carter, Jackson and Teal'c are able to give her a final goodbye. Dr. Fraiser is also shown alive in an alternate timeline in the year 2010 in season 4's "2010", but Fraiser and SG-1 alter the timeline to prevent a catastrophe on Earth involving the Aschen race. | |||||

Walter Harriman / Norman Davis | Gary Jones | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | 108 | ||
Walter Harriman / Norman Davis, played by Gary Jones, is primarily a Stargate technician, running the dialing computer and other equipment from the Control Room. He occasionally acts as an administrative assistant to the head of Stargate Command, and has manned the flight console on the bridge of the Prometheus. He is one of four characters to appear in both the pilot and final episode of Stargate SG-1, the others being Daniel, Carter and Teal'c. He has risen to the highest non-commissioned rank of Chief Master Sergeant in "Avalon Part 1". The character's name has been a common source of confusion, as the show credits originally listed him as simply Technician or "Sergeant". His name tag later says "Norman Davis", but his name was never used in dialogue. After O'Neill had referred to him as "Walter" in the season 4 episode "2010", producer/director Peter DeLuise refers to the character as "Walter Norman" and "Walter Norman Davis" on several DVD commentaries, but the producers could not get clearance for a renaming into "Walter Davis". The new name of "Walter Harriman" is based on General Hammond referring to Jones's character as "Airman" (sounding like "Harriman") in the pilot episode,[27] and SG-1 writer Joseph Mallozzi explained the resulting incongruity as a married-name issue.[28] The character is known as Chevron guy among fans.[29] | |||||

In the pilot episode of Stargate SG-1, Kawalsky accompanies O'Neill to Abydos and is later assigned to lead the newly formed SG-2 team. In their mission to Chulak with SG-1, Kawalsky is infected with a young Goa'uld who begins to take control over Kawalsky back on Earth. Kawalsky dies in the next episode, "The Enemy Within", with his head held into the event horizon when the gate closes. Kawalsky remains a recurring character, whom SG-1 encounters in alternate and virtual reality versions in season 2's "The Gamekeeper", season 3's "Point of View" and season 8's "Moebius (Part 2)". | |||||

First appearing in season 1's "Solitudes", he remains a background character throughout the run of Stargate SG-1 and also occasionally appears in Earth-based episodes of Stargate Atlantis. Dan Shea is primarily the stunt co-ordinator for Stargate SG-1, responsible for the budgets and locations of stunts, and the hiring stunt people before co-ordinating all stunt action.[30] He is also a stunt double for Richard Dean Anderson, for whom he stood in and stunt-doubled in MacGyver.[31] Siler is subsequently shown to be involved in many accidents at the SGC, which is parodied in dialogue and action in several SG-1 episodes such season 4's "Window of Opportunity", season 7's "Heroes" and the milestone episode "200". Siler also frequently appears in the background of scenes carrying an oversized wrench,[30] which he sometimes hands to director Martin Wood as a gag prop in the series. Siler's first name is never mentioned in dialogue in the series, although his uniform patch and magazines give his first name as "Sly" several times,[30][32] and his uniform patch in "Entity" reads "Dan". According to producer and writer Peter DeLuise, Siler's name and dialog deliberately contain the letter "S" because Dan Shea lisps.[33] | |||||

Secret intelligence characters
The National Intelligence Department (NID) is a shadowy intelligence agency that appears throughout the run of Stargate SG-1 and occasionally on Stargate Atlantis. The official mandate of the NID is to provide vital civilian oversight of top secret military operations, but one of their unofficial primary goals is to procure alien technologies. A set of well-resourced illegal cells named the Rogue NID uses unscrupulous methods to achieve the goals of the official NID and is later replaced by the Trust, a shady interplanetary terrorist group. The International Oversight Advisory (IOA) is a civilian oversight committee created after the United States and Russia revealed the existence of the Stargate Program to the other permanent members of the UN Security Council in season 6.

Malcolm Barrett | Peter Flemming | 5, 6, 9 | |||
Malcolm Barrett, played by Peter Flemming (seasons 5–7, 9–10) – An NID agent introduced in season 5's "Wormhole X-Treme". His first significant appearance follows in "Smoke & Mirrors", where he helps uncovering a shadow group behind the NID who tried to attribute Senator Kinsey's apparent assassination to O'Neill. After collaborating with SG-1 in season 7's "Heroes, Part 2" and "Resurrection", Barrett expresses a personal romantic interest in Samantha Carter in season 9's "Ex Deus Machina" and season 10's "Uninvited", but she rejects his advances. His last SG-1 appearance is in "Dominion". Agent Barrett also recurs in Stargate Atlantis: He warns General Landry in season 2's "Critical Mass" of the The Trust's plan to destroy Atlantis with a bomb, and aids several Expedition team members to track down Rodney McKay's sister Jeannie Miller on Earth in season 3's "Miller's Crossing". • Peter Flemming had a two-line audition for "Wormhole X-Treme" for a Men in Black character in a possible recurring role. Every NID character introduced before before Agent Barrett "had been very shady, always had an agenda", and Barrett was "the first mainstay in NID who is actually law-abiding[...], honest, [and] a good person".[34] | |||||
Colonel Chekov | Gary Chalk | 5, 6, 8, 9 | 9 | ||
Colonel Chekov, played by Gary Chalk (seasons 5–6, 8–10) – Russia's liaison to Stargate Command following the early season 4 events of the short-lived Russian Stargate program. He first appears in season 5's "The Tomb", blaming SG-1 for the death of several Russian SG team members. Chekov collaborates with the SGC several episodes later in "48 Hours", giving them a DHD from Russian possession and allowing the SGC to use the Russian Stargate. Colonel Chekov is appointed as the Russian envoy to the SGC around season 6's "Redemption" and agrees to give the Russian Stargate to the US in exchange for money, X-302 technology, and a Russian SG team. In season 6's "Disclosure", Colonel Chekov supports the US's presentation for the disclosure of the Stargate Program to the other three permanent members of the UN Security Council. In season 8's "Full Alert", Colonel Chekov helps General O'Neill deal with the possible Goa'uld compromise of the US government and establishes a direct line between O'Neill and the Russian President to avert a nuclear war. Chekov appears in season 9's "The Fourth Horseman" and "Crusade", where he has become a Russian representative of the IOA. He makes his last appearance in "Camelot" as the commander of the Earth ship Korolev to stop the Ori fleet from invading the Milky Way, but it is unknown whether he is among the six crew members to have escaped from the ship before its destruction. | |||||
Robert Kinsey | Ronny Cox | 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | 11 | ||
Robert Kinsey, played by Ronny Cox (seasons 1, 4–8) – A US senator who first appears in season 1's "Politics". Cox described him as a "self-aggrandizing senator who like[s] to throw his weight around",[35] and as "Kinsey feels that the Stargate [is] being used in completely the wrong way and one that is endangering American ideals and a way of life that he believes in",[35] Cox played him a heroic antagonist rather than villainous. Cox was approached by the producers to play Kinsey instead of auditioning himself.[35] Kinsey holds the position of chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee until season 7 and oversees the national defence budget of secret projects such as the Stargate Program. The character proved so popular that many freelance writers included the character in their scripts.[35] In "Politics", Kinsey ignores warnings of an imminent Goa'uld invasion and instead manages to briefly shut down Stargate Command for budget reasons. In season 4's "Chain Reaction", Kinsey and the NID temporarily succeed in controlling the Stargate by blackmailing General Hammond into retirement. In season 5's "2001", Kinsey aims to gain prestige through an alliance with the Aschen, but the alliance fails. (However, the alliance went ahead in the alternate but unfulfilled future reality witnessed in season 4's "2010", in which Kinsey also achieved his goal of the presidency.) In season 6's "Smoke and Mirrors", a group controlling the rogue NID, known as "the Committee", tries to assassinate Kinsey and frame Col. O'Neill for his murder, but NID agent Malcolm Barret and SG-1 foil this attempt. Kinsey becomes Vice-President in season 7's "Inauguration" and tries again to take control of the Stargate Program in "Lost City". Shortly after NID Agent Richard Woolsey presents incriminating evidence against Kinsey to President Henry Hayes in the same episode, Hayes "accepts" Kinsey's resignation. Kinsey makes his last appearance in season 8's "Full Alert", where the SGC convinces Kinsey to go undercover to undermine the hierarchy of the Trust. However, the Goa'uld have completely infiltrated the Trust through their operatives working outside of the solar system, and have already implanted a symbiote within Kinsey to aid in their plans of starting a nuclear war between the US and Russia. After the SGC foil the attempt, Kinsey flees aboard an Al'kesh, but Kinsey's future remains uncertain as the Al'Kesh is destroyed while he operated a transport device. | |||||

Harry Maybourne, played by Tom McBeath (seasons 1–6, 8) – A USAF Colonel introduced in season 1's "Enigma" as an NID member with ambiguous morals and loyalties. In season 2's "Bane", Maybourne leads an NID attempt to claim Teal'c for study after alien insect infected Teal'c. After further antagonizing SG-1 through rogue NID operations in "Touchstone", "Foothold" and "Shades of Grey", Maybourne flees to Russia and aids in establishing the Russian Stargate Program. He is caught in season 4's Watergate", convicted of treason, and placed on death row. O'Neill contacts Maybourne in "Chain Reaction" to aid reinstate General Hammond, who was blackmailed into resigning from his position. Maybourne escapes after the mission's success and covertly helps O'Neill in season 5's "Desperate Measures" and "48 Hours" in the Adrian Conrad case. Maybourne tricks SG-1 into taking him off-world in season 6's "Paradise Lost", and is eventually exiled to a far-off planet. When SG-1 meets him again in season 8's "It's Good To Be King", Maybourne leads a life of leisure as the seemingly clairvoyant ruler of the local peoples, King Arkhan I. Although the people later discover the deception, they welcome him to stay as his technological expertise improved their standard of life, and SG-1 returns to Earth without him. • According to Tom McBeath, Maybourne was introduced as "just this small, pain in the ass NID guy and a relatively boring character to play". He was "like a gnat rather than a character who was really useful on the show". McBeath mentioned the beach scene of "Chain Reaction" as a turning point for the character, which made the character more fun to play and watch. McBeath believed the court-martialing of the character made Maybourne more interesting and "freed the writers up to just go anywhere", so much that McBeath hardly recognized the character with each new script. McBeath interpreted the dynamic between O'Neill and Maybourne as "I can't stand you, but at some level I have a lot of respect for you. And I do actually, grudgingly have a good time when you're around, and things seem to work out."[36] | |||||
Frank Simmons | John de Lancie | 5 6 | 5 | ||
Frank Simmons, played by John de Lancie (seasons 5–6) – The NID liaison to Stargate Command after Col. Harry Maybourne's arrest for treason. Simmons is introduced in season 5's "Ascension" and is notorious for claiming to have the best interest of the nation at heart, while really he has his own political agenda. In "Desperate Measures", Simmons shoots O'Neill in the back while O'Neill was attempting to capture a Goa'uld who has taken Adrian Conrad as host. "48 Hours" reveals that Simmons' involvement in the disappearance of the Adrian Conrad Goa'uld, whom he now holds captive, and General Hammond has Simmons arrested. In season 6's "Prometheus", rogue NID agents hijack the unfinished starship Prometheus and demand that Simmons, along with Adrian Conrad's Goa'uld, are released. It later turns out that Simmons had orchestrated the entire affair. When Conrad is killed, the Goa'uld infects Simmons. O'Neill is able to open an emergency outer door and releases Simmons into the vacuum of space, effectively killing him. | |||||
Richard Woolsey | Robert Picardo | 7, 9, 10 | 7 | ||
Richard Woolsey, played by Robert Picardo (seasons 7, 9–10) – A member of the NID introduced in season 7's "Heroes" to examine the command decisions at Stargate Command after the death of Dr. Janet Fraiser. Picardo described Woolsey as a "hard guy", a "conflict character" and the "ultimate bureaucrat". Woolsey appears antagonistic because of his weaker social skills although he often has protagonist agendas. The role in "Heroes" was originally a one-day guest role. Picardo was then brought back for the follow-up episode "Inauguration", which began the rehabilitation of the Woolsey character.[37] In this episode, Woolsey comes to realize Senator Kinsey's ambitions and presents incriminating evidence against him, indirectly forcing Kinsey into resigning. Woolsey returns in the season 9 episode "Prototype", where his encouragement of great risks cause injury and death among SGC personnel; Woolsey acknowledges his own error and pleads for forgiveness from the SG-1 team. With the story introduction of the IOA, the Woolsey character makes more regular appearances to "annoy people" and has more humor.[37] Woolsey and some of his IOA colleagues are rescued by SG-1 and the crew of the Odyssey after a catastrophe on the Gamma Site in "The Scourge", which Woolsey later considers an "eye-opening experience". Woolsey makes two more appearances in "Flesh and Blood" and "Morpheus" and last appears on SG-1 in season 10's "The Shroud", which shows how Woolsey "was not quite so confident and on his game as he was in the conference room".[37] The character also recurs in seasons 3 and 4 of Stargate Atlantis before becoming a main character there in season 5. |

Recurring alien characters
Abydonians
The Abydonians are the people whom Colonel O'Neill's team encounter on another planet in the Stargate film. They are the slaves of the alien Ra and are descendents from ancient Egyptians brought through the Stargate to mine the fictional mineral naqahdah. The film gives the location of their homeworld (named Abydos in SG-1's pilot episode "Children of the Gods") as the Kaliem galaxy "on the far side of the known universe" in the film, and as the closest planets to Earth in the Stargate network in "Children of the Gods". In the film, O'Neill and Daniel Jackson inspire the Abydonians and their leader, Kasuf, to rise up against Ra. The military personnel return to Earth, while Daniel falls in love with Kasuf's daughter Sha're and remains behind. In "Children of the Gods", set a year after the film, the Goa'uld Apophis attacks Abydos, abducting Sha're and her brother Skaara to serve as hosts for his queen Amaunet and son Klorel. In season 6's Template:Sgcite, Abydos is destroyed by the Goa'uld Anubis, but Oma Desala helps its entire population Ascend.

Asgard
The Asgard are a benevolent race that, according to the mythology of Stargate, gave rise to Norse mythology on Earth and inspired accounts of the Roswell Greys. The Asgard can no longer reproduce and perpetuate themselves by transferring their minds into new clone bodies as necessary. Extremely advanced technologically, the threat of their intervention shields many planets in the Milky Way from Goa'uld attack, including Earth.[38] They also provide much assistance to Earth in the way of technology, equipment, and expertise. Their main adversary in Stargate SG-1 are the mechanical Replicators, against which they enlist the aid of SG-1 on several occasions. The entire Asgard civilization chooses to self-destruct in "Unending" due to the degenerative effects of repeated cloning. A small colony of Asgard still exist in the Pegasus galaxy that were able to stop cloning diminishing returns. Stargate SG-1 had several Asgard puppets, and six puppeteers are necessary to make the different parts of the Asgard puppet work.[39]

The Lucian Alliance is first referred to by name in season 9's "The Ties That Bind" and reappears as a recurring foe in seasons 9 and 10. The Lucian Alliance has obtained Goa'uld technology for their own use, and has also modified some of it, such as making plasma weapons using staff weapon technology.

Ori
The Ori are Ascended beings who use their infinite knowledge of the universe to force lesser beings to worship them. In essence, they used to be Ancients, however they split into separate groups due to different views of life. The Ori are religious while the Ancients prefer science. The Ori sway lesser-developed planets into worshipping them by promising Ascension through an invented and empty religion called "Origin". This religion states that they created humanity and as such are to be worshipped by their creations. It also promises its followers that, on death, they will Ascend. However, Origin was designed to channel energy from the human worshippers to the Ori. As such, the Ori never help anyone else Ascend because then they would have to share the power that they sap from their worshippers. Their ultimate goal is to completely destroy the Ascended Ancients, who they know as "the Others". All of their efforts, including their technology, are for the purpose of garnering worshippers. As Ascended beings, the Ori do not interfere directly in the mortal plane. They use instead humans called Priors, which they artificially evolve so that they are one step from Ascension, giving the Priors godly powers. Because the Ori have worshippers across the entire home galaxy of the Ancients, and using their knowledge to spread, they are nearly unstoppable.

Replicators
The Replicators are a potent mechanical life-form using a quiron-based technology composed of building blocks using nanotechnology. They strive to increase their numbers and spread across the universe by assimilating advanced technologies. They are hostile to all other life-forms in the universe, but are opposed primarily by the Asgard. In the episode "Unnatural Selection", the Replicators had developed human-form Replicators, based on the technology they extracted from their Android creator, that appear just like humans and are able to change their form. Standard Replicators are resistant to energy weapons, and can only be destroyed by projectile weapons. Human-form Replicators, on the other hand, are resistant to projectile weapons as well due to the change in their nature from large blocks to smaller units the size of organic cells (cell blocks). In the episode "New Order (Part 2)", an Ancient weapon called the Replicator Disruptor was developed O'Neill while he still had the knowledge of the Ancients in his mind. It works by blocking the cohesion between the blocks that make up the Replicators. The Replicators in the Milky Way galaxy were wiped out by the Dakara Superweapon in the two-part episode "Reckoning" at the climax of Season 8. It has been indicated that the Asgard used the same technology to defeat the Replicators in their own home galaxy as well.

Spawned by the queen Egeria, they live in true symbiosis with their hosts, both beings sharing the body equally and benefitting from each other. The Tok'ra have fought the Goa'uld for thousands of years, favoring covert tactics and balancing the various System Lords against one another.

The Nox take the Tollan in while they continue to search for a new home, later revealed to be named Tollana. The Tollan have a strict policy against sharing technology with more "primitive" races, instituted after such a transfer caused the civilization of their neighboring planet Serita to destroy itself in a single day.[40] Teal'c notes in season 3's "Pretense" that despite the Tollans' technological superiority, they "do not think strategically". The Tollan are wiped out by the forces of the Goa'uld Tanith in season 5's "Between Two Fires" after the Goa'uld Anubis developed technologies that neutralize Tollan weaponry.
