Jaffa biography, Jaffa discography
Jaffa are modified humans genetically engineered by the Goa'uld in antiquity to serve as soldiers and as incubators for their young.The Goa'uld have a device capable of quickly transforming humans into Jaffa.The larval symbiote grants the Jaffa enhanced strength, health, healing, and longevity (in excess of 150 years).The Jaffa equivalent of puberty is the Age of Prata, at which time a prim'tah must be implanted.Jaffa do not require sleep, but must engage in a form of meditation called kelnorim in order to synchronize with their symbiote.Jaffa who are in service of a Goa'uld bear a black tattoo of their master's insignia on their foreheads.Jaffa in service of a Goa'uld is known as the First Prime and bears a raised gold insignia, made by baring the bone with a special knife and filling the wound with molten gold; Teal'c describes it as a very painful process.Jaffa may bear similar silver marks.Jaffa, started out as a lone traitor, but gradually and with the aid of his former Jaffa mentor, Bra'tac, is able to rally an increasing number of Jaffa to his cause.Jaffa Resistance
By season six, the Jaffa Resistance (Occasionally referred to as the Fifth Column) has been formed; an organized rebellion against the Goa'uld of which Teal'c is a prominent leader.At the end of season eight, Teal'c achieves his goal and finally helps liberate most of the Jaffa from the Goa'uld; the Goa'uld have long weakened one another by continuous civil war amongst the System Lords, and were then crippled by the Replicator invasion of the galaxy.Soon after, forces of the Tau'ri are able to defeat the Replicators.The Jaffa see the Goa'uld's inability to save themselves from the Replicators as proof that they are false Gods, especially when System Lord Ba'al makes a cowardly escape from the Jaffa Resistance, after which the Jaffa turn against the Goa'uld en masse.Free Jaffa Nation
In season nine, the Jaffa Resistance and the destruction of the System Lords gave birth to the Free Jaffa Nation, with the planet Dakara as its new capital.The nation was initially ruled by the Jaffa High Council, on which votes were appropriated based on unconfirmed military assets, the nation is divided between at least two major political factions: the opposition progressives who support Teal'c and Master Bra'tac's vision of a representative democracy and the ruling traditionalists who support the military oligarchy with Gerak at the head of the High Council.With the arrival of the Ori, things began to become difficult for the Jaffa Nation.The nation was initially committed to resisting the spread of Origin and its attendant Priors; most Jaffa were horrified at the idea of worshipping false gods once more, as the resistance of the Jaffa of Kallana showed ("Beachhead").However, Gerak was converted to Origin and as a result the Ori gained a powerful ally in the form of the Jaffa loyal to them.However, Gerak's choice threatened to split the Jaffa with civil war as the progressives and even some of Gerak's fellow traditionalists were opposed to this idea; even Gerak's aide Yat'Yir had doubts.High Council mandated a referendum to determine whether the nation would adopt a constitution based on Earth representative democracies.It passed in "Stronghold", with elections to be held two months later.The Jaffa suffered greatly against the followers of the Ori with their ships being almost completely ineffective at stopping the recently arrived Ori battlecruisers.One of the first Jaffa worlds to fall to the Ori was Teal'c's home planet of Chulak.The Jaffa leader Se'tak took matters into his own hands to deal with the Ori via the Dakara Superweapon.Adria, who killed the Jaffa who challenged her.Master Bra'tac survived the devastation of Dakara.Many other Jaffa worlds bowed down to the Ori afterwards, whether through fear or having actually been converted is unknown.Several Jaffa worlds had willingly fallen into the hand of the Ori crusaders though small resistance movements still existed that gained intelligence on these enemies.Some groups, such as the Illac Renin, became devoted to the path the Ori showed them though many resisted it.In order to help stabilise the leadership of the Jaffa, a peaceful summit was called on the Jaffa world of Dar Eshkalon but a deceptive strike killed many of it attendees.It was revealed that this was done by radical Jaffa who followed the Ori and were led by a former First Prime known as Arkad who wished to steer the Jaffa's destiny into the hands of the Ori.Furthermore, to gain the favour of his new masters, he attempted to stockpile weapons grade naquadah to use against the Tau'ri but he was killed by Teal'c before he could accomplish this.Currently, the fate of the Jaffa Nation is unknown beyond the elimination of this single threat.Jaffa High Council
The Jaffa High Council was the ruling body of the Free Jaffa Nation for one season.Votes were appropriated on the Council based on unconfirmed military assets of the various coalitions represented.Many of the councillors are the former leaders of the Jaffa Resistance.Progressives, favoring some form of republic.The Traditionalist faction was led by Gerak and Yat'Yir, both former servants of Montu.Former Head of the Council and of the ruling Traditionalist faction.Gerak's aide and successor as head of the Traditionalists.Former leader of the Progressive opposition.Hak'tyl who appears to be moderately Progressive.Origin party after Gerak's conversion.Apophis servant, native of Chulak, and a progressive who committed suicide by symbiote removal to undo Ba'al's brainwashing.Jaffa leader who came into power after Geraks death, he advocated a more harsh policy of dealing with the Ori through the use of the Dakara device.He was hostile towards Earth believing that the Jaffa should remain independent and free from alien influence.He was killed when Adria's battlecruiser targeted the Dakaran superweapon and destroyed it.Hak'tyl
The Hak'tyl are a group of female Jaffa warriors first introduced in "Birthright".When Moloc ordered that all female children born to his Jaffa be sacrificed, Ishta began secretly saving them by sending them to a planet she names Hak'tyl, meaning "liberation".The Hak'tyl resistance grow into a formidable force, mounting raids on Moloc's Jaffa to obtain symbiotes.They eventually seek an alliance with the Tau'ri, who offer them the drug tretonin as a way to free themselves from their dependence on the Goa'uld.Although the test trials are not without complications, the Hak'tyl eventually become the first group of Jaffa to adopt tretonin.Allied with the other rebel Jaffa, Ishta's group soon becomes too large to easily conceal.Teal'c warns that should they succeed Moloc would only be replaced by a more powerful Goa'uld.The Hak'tyl are a significant power in the Free Jaffa Nation, and are represented by Ka'lel on the High Council.One of their main concerns is the inequal treatment of females in many Jaffa societies.Sodan
The Sodan are a legendary group of Jaffa who, over 5,000 years ago, realized that the Goa'uld were not gods and rebelled against their Goa'uld master Ishkur.The Sodan worship the Ancients and seek Ascension as their ultimate goal.The Sodan are proud warriors with considerable martial prowess; they use personal cloaking devices to become invisible and steal larval Goa'uld in raids, killing them when they mature.In their first encounter, Cameron Mitchell is forced to go through a form of ritual combat called Kel Shak Lo after being forced to kill a Sodan warrior, in the process earning their respect.Illac Renin
Meaning "Kingdom of the Path", the Illac Renin are a faction of Jaffa who follow Origin, believing that the Ori will Ascend them upon death.This page was last modified on 12 November 2008, at 15:56.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Choose the experience and dedication of ARZA World.Jaffa, or Yafo in Hebrew, is a complete antithesis to its brash new northern neighbor Tel Aviv.Although the two form one municipal area, Jaffa has retained its distinct character, and is definitely worth visiting as part of an Israel tour of Tel Aviv.Jaffa and its multicultural neighborhoods that stretch southwards toward the coastal town of Bat Yam.In antiquity, Jaffa was under the rule of Ancient Egypt, and in Biblical times, as mentioned in the Book of Joshua, Jaffa was noted as the domain of the Tribe of Dan, and its descendents lived and engaged in the maritime trades along the coast.In the first century AD, Jaffa came under Roman rule, and in the following centuries it became a marginal city.During the Middle Ages Jaffa came under Arab control, and served as the major regional port, and then a provincial capital.Jaffa was captured during the Crusades, and in the fifteenth century the city came under the control of the Ottoman Empire, remaining so until the start of the British Mandate in 1920.Nowadays, Jaffa is characterized by a highly diverse population of Jews, Muslims and Christians.Summit Hill and the Artists Quarter
