    • Diary Entry: Early in my acquisition of what had been Osiris' throneworld, I had called on Seshat's experience in record-keeping.

    She had been the Assistant Archivist in Ra's palace; a high position that she had kept before becoming my own assistant/nanny/administrator.

    In truth, she was more of the actual boss, only active employee, of the archives. But her records of the Master Jaffa were what I sought.

    Of the perhaps two hundred and fifty odd that were still alive and in good health, only three had the sort of qualities I liked and wanted. I had named them 'Marshals' rather than Masters to give them proper authority within my Jaffa's ranks. They shared distinct responsibilities pertaining to their respective skills and were as such, highly respected by Jaffa and citizenry alike. They were all respected by their troops and had took many measures against causing collateral death of slaves, friendly or foe. They had treated with enemies with honor and respect. And they were very,     very, good at their job.

    Marshal Ra'nor of Shi'loh, a desert planet of poor soil and extreme weather conditions. He initially served Osiris, but ever since his fall from power, the Jaffa of Shi'loh changed their sigil to that of Ra.

    Ra'nor was the fifth son of a farming family, the predominantly agricultural-based communities living on the planet were hardened peasants who were ideal for Jaffa trained in fighting in extreme conditions.

    He became the first Prime serving an Underlord of Ra's for at least half a century, participating in numerous battles with and against other Underlords, before being released from service as he grew too old to 'properly lead'. Ra'nor returned to his people on Shi'loh and took up the mantle of being a magistrate to lead his people and continue the worship of Ra and the training of jaffa.

    Ra'nor was the first Jaffa Master I had ever met and he certainly looked the part. Clad in a clearly nonstandard set of Jaffa armor, bleached by the extreme temperatures of his planet and built to withstand the sudden shifts of blistering heat and biting cold. Wrinkled and gray, with broad shoulders of nothing but pure muscle. A thinning hairline, a flat gray beard, and sharp eyes that seemed to look right through me.

    When the two of us met, he did not say much. I explained to him what I sought. Why I had called for him. He listened to what I had to say and then swore an oath to serve me as the first of my Marshals.

    The second of my Marshals was Targon of Varia, a temperate world with many oceans and volcanic islands near the core of Ra's holdings. His people were known for their fair skin and martial ability, often holding tournaments to prove their worthiness to serve Ra. Unlike most Jaffa, he was purely human and thus had no pouch to hold prim'ta. Like those born on Varia, he was of fair skin, his strength shown in his slight but sturdy frame.

    As one of Varia's Jaffa, he fought his way through the competition to join the ranks of tribute to be given to Ra. Ra took the tribute and formed an army with it, before giving it to Heru'ur to strike down an upstart Goa'uld who thought she could poach his Jaffa. He served Heru'ur as First Prime for almost a century before retiring to Ah'Ra as a captain of the city guard.

    Now, Targon served me, leading a legion of guardsmen who patrolled the city's streets and kept it safe. He made weekly reports to Nishka, who would deliver any news of note to Seshat or myself. Thus far, I have had no complaint of his service to me and I am unlikely to find fault in his leadership for years to come.

    Kar'tan, former First Prime to an Underlord of Apophis. Unlike the other Master Jaffa, he     sought me out. He came to serve me. He was once a very loyal servant to his Underlord, until Apophis gave Underlord orders to leave his throneworld open to attack in order to bait in the approach of Cronus' raider forces.

    Reportedly, Al'kesh bombing runs reduced the village of his birth to ruins, killing all he had known and loved; including that of his entire family.

    This act left him with a burning hatred for Apophis, enough for the former First Prime to     rebel against his Underlord and denounced Apophis as a 'hateful god'. Ka'tarn took the Jaffa who felt betrayed by Apophis and defected to me in a Ha'tak. Through the words of Jaffa of Heru'ur who had visited my world, Ka'tarn felt I was the best Goa'uld to serve by the way I treated my Jaffa.

    Though the youngest of the Jaffa Masters in my service, he was just as experienced in war, leadership, and administration as any of them. However, for his act of betraying the oaths to Apophis, this has left a mark of 'Shol'va' to his repute. Despite this, I have taken him into my service with the honor and privileges that come with it.

    They were possibly the best and most experienced Jaffa in this corner of the galaxy, individually boasting more scars and battles under their belt than most would ever see in a century of life.

    Now they served as     my Marshals, physical extensions of my authority, second to only Nishka or Seshat. They say you can't teach old dogs new trick; but I think I have the right dogs for the next trick I intend to pull.

    • Is he creating an actual military organism that is invested in the idea of the state, and that recruits from the people of that state, rather then in the charisma, power, and fear of a bunch of immortal Strong Men?
     
    Well, looks like SG-1 has their work cut out for them. Ra may have better technology than from canon, but their standard strategies still leaves much to be desired. Then if they happen to face Iah's forces who will be armed with even better weapons and most likely trained in better tactics, they'll be having a much harder time against enemies who can actually aim.

    • As Commander Dol'nac emerged from the Chappa'ai, he drew in a deep breath and savored the moment. It passed and he stepped forwards. Seconds later, Jaffa began to march out of the portal. He watched with pride as some of the best warriors of Ra's armies slowly assembled before him in their respective companies. For every two hundred rank and file jaffa, there was a Horus Guard clad in quality armor and a silver helm in the shape of a falcon's head. Dol'nac himself wore that of a golden helm, to signify his authority as an elite guard of Ra.

    As the Jaffa continued to assemble, he surveyed his surroundings.

    The chappa'ai was situated upon a island, within a large clearing where a thick forest surrounded them, save for a path that led to a great bridge stood above the ocean. Though there was more than enough space for an army to march across, Iah had provided transportation.

    The Moon God's famous skiffs of lore descended from the skies. With hulls gleaming gold and great sails of blue, each vessel was capable of ferrying two companies of Jaffa apiece, perhaps more besides!

    "Kree, Jaffa!" Cried out Dol'nac, slamming his staff weapon onto the ground and pointed at the skiffs and their crews extended steps. "Forward, board!"

    As soon as the last skiff was filled to the brim with jaffa, the ships rose and took to the skies. The commander could see the bridge connecting several other islands to the main landmass, to which the skiffs were flying towards. Clouds covered all sight for a moment, before they passed and the jaffa were shown the first sight of their new home.

    Almost instantly, Dol'nac felt his breath taken away as he gazed down upon the great city that Iah had built on the backs of his slaves. A maze-like spread of stone and metal spread across the lands, meeting resistance only at the small mountain ridge that the bridge met. Even those mountains were not spared; for he spied the reflected light of golden towers scattered across the range.

    Obelisks so tall that their points seemed to pierce the heavens, the great pyramids that were embedded into the great mountains that the palace was built into.

    Behind the mountains, however, Dol'nac saw where his Jaffa were to be assigned to.

    The shipyards were miles long, spidery and alight with half-built ships. He saw a pair of Cheops and a Ha'tak under construction, with three more unfamiliar ships being built. Two were like great massive wings the size of an Al'kesh, still sporting a skeletal appearance as plating was slowly added on.

    Dol'nac felt the skiff begin descending, so he turned towards what he presumed was the landing site.

    As it neared the ground, the Jaffa Commander could see that there were accommodations for his Jaffa. A large military complex had been built for them; several large barracks for the Jaffa troops, training grounds, a command post, and an armory. Nearby, an even larger complex sat, a gaping maw filled with distant gliders and Al'kesh.

    The skiffs slowed and then halted as they hovered over the ground. Step were laid out and his Jaffa began disembarking steadily in disciplined lines. As much as Dol'nac enjoyed the flight, it felt good to be on solid ground again. His bird-helm retracted as three Jaffa approached him.

    They were of Iah's guard, none so recognizable as the white moon and it's rays emblazoned on their armor's shoulders and chest. The best way Dol'nac could describe them were that they resembled something like the full plated Personal Guards that Ra kept around him during functions with other Goa'uld. Unlike the heavy armor plating that the Horus Guard Elites were entitled to, Iah's Jaffa wore a much lighter looking design that appeared to emphasize ease of movement and flexibility. They wore fine chainmail with golden plates along their arms, shoulders, legs, and chest. Their helms open faced, but covered almost the entirety of their heads, leaving room only for the eyes, nose, and mouth.

    Foremost of the three was a much older Jaffa with livered skin and a slightly sunken appearance. He recognized him instantly, by reputation and from working with his students.

    This was Targon of Varia, former First Prime of Heru'ur, Captain of the Jaffa Guard of Ah'Ra. Unlike the Jaffa flanking him, Targon wore no helm. His armor looked far more elaborate with a short cape falling from his armored shoulders.

    Dol'nac inclined his head in acknowledgement of Targon's station and experience. The Jaffa Master nodded in return, to which the Commander felt a flicker of pride of such a distinguished jaffa acknowledging his authority.

    "Tec'ma-te, Commander Dol'nac," said the old Master in greeting, extending his forearm.

    At once, he clasped the other Jaffa's arm and nodded. "Tec'ma-te, Captain Targon. It is an honor to be in your presence."

    "None of that now, Commander!" Chuckles Targon as he gestures towards military complex. "I am here to show you your new home for the coming years. In time, this place will be expanded to allow for increased garrisons, but for the moment this is all we can offer you and your Jaffa."

    "This is far more than I expected, Captain," admitted the other Jaffa. In truth, he expected far more fortifications, but this small castle was more than enough to house himself and the troops.

    Targon glanced at him, bemused. "I am no captain anymore. I am a Marshal under Iah's domain. With two others, we are of equal rank of a First Prime."

    Dol'nac was confused by the rank of 'Marshal', but did not voice his thoughts on the matter. Instead, he allowed himself to be led by Targon as he was shown the protocols for various events and emergencies. To his surprise, the quarter provided to the garrison and his command staff were spacious and quite comfortable. Servants maintained the upkeep of the facilities and there were even in-house cooks for the kitchens for a steady supply of cooked meals for the jaffa three times a day.

    Which meant the supplies of dry tasteless rations he ordered delivered to his troops were entirely unneeded, and now highly unwanted, in the face of fine food.

    As his troops settled in, Dol'nac was told that he was invited to dine with Iah and the Marshals that very evening, to congratulate him for attaining the post of garrison Commander and to discuss his duties in the region.

    Targon took his leave shortly after detailing the ground rules for dealing with the 'civilians', as Iah refused to keep slaves in his domain. Instead, many peasants were educated and possessed skills in their respective trade. Despite reservations over this mode of thought, it seemed it worked well enough for Ra to give Iah a permission to continue doing so, so long as research and development of new technologies continued at a steady pace.

    Dol'nac was perturbed that he had to request that one of the servants draw up a bath for him, rather than order it. It felt strange and wrong, but the Jaffa Commander ignored it. This was the ruling of Iah, and he would not go against the word of a God, even a lesser one than Ra. If this was the custom of Iah's people, then he would obey.

    Dining with Iah was an... experience. Though he was welcome to the table, there was little time spent socializing. The God was focused on bringing the shipyards online as soon as possible, with worries of overtaxing his construction crews with the influx of materials and supplies pouring through the chappa'ai and deliveries via Motherships from his master's mining worlds.

    Ra'nor, the gray bearded master Jaffa who looked like he could still snap Dol'nac in two despite his advanced age, called it a 'working lunch'.

    It was there he discovered the roles the other 'Marshals' played in Iah's designs.

    Targon served as Iah's primary enforcer of laws and justice within the cities, directing Jaffa in keeping the peace and maintaining he law amongst the... civilians. The former Captain apparently worked closely with Iah's lo'taur, even taking orders from her. When Dol'nac first saw the woman, she was detailing a set of orders for Targon carry out!

    The gall of her demeanor was almost enough for him to jump forwards defense of the Jaffa and put the human in her rightful place. He had not, for the simple reason of feeling such an action would cause great distress from Iah (and thus making his own life forfeit), for she was purported to be very close to her god.

    Marshal Ra'nor of Shi'loh, he was something of an enigma. Lowborn of a Jaffa family of no repute, from an agricultural planet of all places. What could he possibly have to offer?

    Insofar as Dol'nac could tell, he was no leader of armies or of any military position. Instead the old Jaffa served something of an advisory position for Iah, but for what the Commander could not begin to understand. What did Ra'nor have that Targon the Great did not? What could he possibly know to be of use to Iah? It seemed redundant when Iah had the lesser Goa'uld Seshat to assist him.

    Privately, Commander Dol'nac was surprised Iah would restrict himself to just two. Nishka and Seshat were both very worthy indeed, but most Goa'uld would have harems to worship them. Perhaps Iah felt his time was better served in pleasing Ra? And if he was neglecting his mistresses in favor of more work; then he wasn't resting. It was concerning, but also somewhat touching, that Iah would go to such lengths for Ra...

    "Are you done daydreaming, Commander?" Asked Kar'tan sarcastically, brushing crumbs from his beard with one hand as he perused a datapad. His eyes glittered as Dol'nac's cheeks grew warm. "Or is our God's words not worth your attention?"

    And of course, there was the Shol'va.

    Why Kar'tan was made Iah's Warmaster was beyond his comprehension. There was something intrinsic of a Jaffa's oath of loyalty to their God. When they pledged themselves to their Gods, they pledged their very body and soul to their lords and served them with all that they were. To break that oath, to raise rebellion against their oathsworn god and the System Lord, was heresy of the highest order.

    For such a Shol'va to have the gall to ask for Iah's trust was outrageous! Were Iah not surrounded by better Jaffa than the Shol'va Kar'tan, Dol'nac suspected the false jaffa would work openly to raise rebellion against his new god. Why even the lowborn Ra'nor would be a better Warmaster than that traitorous filth!

    "My apologies, Lord Iah," he said deferentially. Dol'nac glared at Kar'tan as the shol'va sipped his wine, hoping that it was poison. "My lapse of attention is unforgivable."

    "It is of no consequence," replied Iah in his benevolence. The lo'taur beside him caught his eye and he nodded towards her. NIshka smiled slightly and took her leave, almost gliding out. Dol'nac almost misses it, but as the doors closed, there was an odd haze just behind her. He dismisses it as a trick of the light and return to listening to Iah's decrees, resolving to keep a closer eye on Kar'tan.

    Despite his reservations, Commander Dol'nac felt he was going to enjoy his new post as garrison commander for the growing shipyards...

    • Data Entry 1: Construction of Ra's flagship isn't due to be underway for some time. Additional resources are needed to complete other projects that will be included within the ship itself. New heavy capital ship weaponry, improved reactor designs; a whole host of technology waiting to be incoporated. So far, the various modifications to the Ha'tak motherships proved successful. Each one had been equipped with the experimental reactor designs to replace the ancient traditional mass-injection type.

    The original cooling systems had been improved on substantially. Before the upgrades, excess heat had been directed towards a chemical agent, collected into trash compartments before being vented into space. Now I used the well known particular acceleration technology that Goa'uld primarily created for the usage of weapons for the usage of cooling down the incredible heat of the reactors. With numerous particle accelerators built around the reactor, excess heat was injected into the accelerators, where intersecting cooling rings would 'slow' the highly charged particles; much like the way a refrigerator or an air conditioner would cool it's contents.

    This resulted in a very efficient reactor that was self-regulating and effectively self-cooling, further increasing it's output by a hundred and fifty per cent. Far in excess than what a Ha'tak ordinarily would require, but sufficient for the different upgrades each Ha'tak had been outfitted with.

    In particular was the sole heavy capital scale plasma pulse cannon in existence.

    Goa'uld capital scale weapons were effectively scaled up versions of the Ma'tok staff weapon, acting as secondary and even tertiary weapon systems that were less power intensive than their main weapons. The primary weapons were massive plasma arrays that essentially acted like an immense focusing dish for highly charged particles, accelerating them to near lightspeed and then launching them in one gigantic messy glob of superheated superheavy plasma.

    And they had to go through all this hassle every time they wanted to fire the damn things.

    Crude. Inefficient. Incredibly draining. Terribly wasteful. Ladies and gentlebeings, the Goa'uld hallmark of weapons engineering in the last four thousand years.

    They were built with slaves as the workforce in mind, of course. That meant oversimplifying the technology and that resulted in the engineering itself becoming incredibly massive.

    I simply did the opposite. It's as straightforward as feasibly possible, downsized, streamlined, and as a result it was probably the most powerful thing in the Goa'uld arsenal to date. The domed array itself visually appears the same, but it was a third it's original size and I had taken advantage of the focusing architecture of the emitter. The emitters themselves were capable of focusing an enormous amount of plasma across the dome, but they had a hard limit of how much they could fire off at once. Optimally, the array itself could charge and fire an immediate barrage of nine shots.

    Multiple particle accelerators spun the charged energy to near lightspeed and accumulated at the very 'edges' of the dome. When it ready to fire, the accumulated energy would strike the massive emitter and fire as several incredibly dense spheres of superheated plasma. There would be some bleed off, as much as two percent, but the overall firepower was an incredible five hundred percent more effective in comparison to the original.

    Tests on an unfortunate mothership with the improved armor plating and shield generators proved that only four shots were needed to utterly gut it and another shot to destroy it completely.

    Further testing will be continued when the modified asteroid is ready.

    Data Entry 2: Goa'uld starship hull armor was a little more than a lattice of trinium-laced steel with refined naqudah plating. That was it. Honestly, however, it suffices for most things the armor is responsible for. It's incredibly dense and the naquadah can withstand an enormous amount of energy before breaking from the stress. Plasma fire would splash across the hull, energizing several armor platings and causing them to explode; but most of the energy would scatter across the superconductive metal.

    That said, however, it could be so much more.

    I had made a great deal of progress in the creation of increasingly complex carbon nanotube lattices. Indeed, lacing them with naquadah and trace trinium only improves the superconducting properties of naquadah and enables it to absorb as much as twenty to twenty-seven per cent of the energy from hostile enemy fire.

    When scaled up properly, they've proven to be far better at resisting the stresses of combat and soaking up damage. I have begun educating my Corps of Artificers on the intricacies of carbon nanotubes and their myriad uses and effects on naquadah. Thus far, I believe they have a sufficient grasp on the processes to handle bringing the concepts I've given them into reality.

    The armor plating I've devised from this formula is derived from the ancient remains of the Asgard science vessel Ra gave me access to some time ago. It is not quite as effective, but it is very nearly. The lack of trinium is a probable cause.

    Even so, the armor proves surprisingly useful. When applied in consecutive layers, it can also act as an ablative layer of armor for the superstructure underneath. Interesting.

    Still, the properties of the carbon nanotubes and the naquadah are both capable of absorbing and mitigating the effects of consecutive plasma weapons. I hesitate to use it as hull plating, due to the lack of other examples of weapons technology for data on their effects on the armor. But needs, must and all my ships are to henceforth be built with this alloy.

    Data Entry 3: The prototype model of the shield generator was powered by several dozen small naquadah reactors, scaled for use by Al'kesh and redesigned by yours truly. There were enough generators for an equivalent of my new reactor design. Roughly speaking of course.

    The data gathered from the destruction of the scrapped mothership gave me a clear upper limit how much damage goa'uld shields can take from a high powered, super dense, superheated ball of plasma.

    Goa'uld shields were...well, they were terrible.

    But I won't be leaving it at that. On an personal level, they were remarkably effective. They absorbed high energy impacts very well and could withstand a great deal of stress before burning out. However, they worked on the oscillation frequency principle; equal amounts of kinetic force results an equal amount of force repelled. While on a personal level, this works well against high energy impacts like a bullet or a plasma bolt, the shield is porous enough to allow air (and thus other gasses) in. Unfortunately, this allows extremely low velocity projectiles to cut right through the shield.

    A throwing knife would be able to penetrate the shield, but perhaps not a thrown rock. Mass and velocity are factors that the Goa'uld didn't take into account, either.

    For the standard capital scale energy shielding, most of the weaknesses of low velocity impacts are largely mitigated. When exposed to vacuum, the shield becomes airtight, leaving no porous weakness for energy bleedthrough. Shields on that scale, however, was very underpowered. Goa'uld technology when scaled up, was almost always incredibly inefficient. From weapons, to shield, engines, and power generation.

    I streamlined the emitter layout to better encompass the mothership, evened out the oversimplification of the design and pulled it back to something a little less gaudy.

    When supplied with the proper amount of energy, Goa'uld shielding were many times more effective than the original designs. The emitters themselves were surprisingly capable of channeling large amounts of energy to maintain shield integrity. Additionally, Goa'uld shields guarded far too much empty space around the ship, and so I've tightened down how much space the shield actually protects, and reinforced it further; lessening the wasted energy.

    I took it a step further and implemented multilayered shielding.

    Multiple and redundant shield generators hooked up to additional redundant emitters. Three layers of redundant shielding and an emergency forcefield that hugged the hull.

    In this case of my retrofitted asteroid, the shields on it wrapped around it like a tight little parcel.

    Time to test out the main guns.

    Data Entry 4: Multiple barrages were required to penetrate the first layer of shielding. A total of sixteen salvos that nearly well burnt out the prototype heavy plasma cannon. From the data gathered, I suspect the improved shielding could withstand fire from quite a lot of enemy fire before cracking completely. After all, they'll need to get past the next layer of shielding before the previous layer is restored.

    Now that I've successfully improved the shields, I can turn my attention to other projects. Far smaller in size and scale, but no less essential.

    My Artificers have been working on the idea of a large defensive emplacement to protect the city and the research and development facilities from attack. Thus far, four proposals have reached me for approval.

    One of the Artificers had built a small working model of the emplacement, resembling a tall thin tower with a light staff cannon mounted on top. It was to be built with steel, incoporating a naquadah lattice laced with carbon nanotubing for stability and durability. I saw immediate flaws with this idea; just because there was a major stabilizer in the naquadah lattice did not mean it didn't need to be thicker. It was strong; but was too frail in the face of direct fire. A thicker body would allow it to take more damage and remain functional.

    A simple enough design, but not quite what I had in mind. Not a bad idea, but I'd shelve it.

    Several Artificers had gathered for another proposal and joined their mind to think of an impressive contraption. A wide circular platform with multiple shield emitters and electromagnetic stabilizers. Upon activation, a pillar would rise upwards from the center, protected by multiple armor layers and from there their genius shined.

    A heavily modified heavy staff cannon, it's prongs widened and the naquadah charge flattened. Energy would gather and be compressed into a dense sphere of superheated plasma before being launched and directed by the machine's targeting systems at any ground or air target in range.

    Huh.

    Not a bad idea, but it would be difficult to implement for widespread use for all my facilities. Still, it was a good idea. That one goes in the approved side.

    One of the Artificers decided to simply propose a straightforward design. Simply put, it was a staff cannon turret. But he was thoughtful enough to protect it with a forward facing shield of thick armor plating and provide protection for the Jaffa manning it. It was mounted on a rather sophisticated rotating platform that allowed it to traverse horizontally a full three hundred and sixty degrees and a hundred degrees vertically very quickly indeed! She proposed that it would be capable of firing rapid low powered shots for anti-infantry and air purposes, while retaining a charge up mode for forcing enemy soldiers out of entrenched positions.

    Simple, effective, affordable. This one was promising.

    Lastly, something even simpler. A brick and mortar emplacement reinforced with simple steel plating, a forward facing shield, and six service carbines modified to fire automatically within a pair of barrels. It was to be crewed by a single Jaffa and could be used for defending against both infantry and air attack.

    All these were all very viable, but I was not spoiled for choice. For the moment, they will have to do.

    At least, until the repeaters stop melting during testing.

    I approved two of the designs, though the other two were promising; as such I would be speaking to the Artificers personally to improve on them. In the meantime, I think I should check on the Jaffa. They were due for a surprise inspection, after all.

    • Little bit of trivia.
    Trinium is stated in canon to be 100 times lighter and tougher than steel.
    Carbon Nanotubes are 117 times tougher than steel, weight doesn't really need to be said.
    Graphene is rated to be 300 times tougher than steel, again being one atom thick means its weight compared to Steel doesn't really need much of a comparison.

    Strictly speaking I'm not positive the SGC will happen. Recall that the events of the movie are canon in general(if specifics can vary). With the changes Iah is adopting it's probable that that initial encounter will end quite differently

    I'm also deeply suspicious of him replacing the power sources on the Go'auld ships. That strikes me as an excellent way to cripple or damage the ships on command. The Tokra had transmitters planted on the ships that tracked them in real time they revealed around the the time of Replicarter's invasion they had been planting for centuries. A similar setup to mission kill Capital ships.

    Now Iah can't oppose Ra due to ingrained loyalty but provided that Iah did permit Ra to die per the original Stargate timeline then used his varies advances to consolidate control and mission kill opposing Gou'ald ships...who opposed him. Well. There was a time gap between when the SGC began their program again and the invasion by Apophis with the gate activated. Entirely plausible Iah can make sure that invasion doesn't happen and for the Stargate to be packed off(as the program was on the verge of being shuttered if I remember right). Why bother with Earth when he can secure his own powerbase loyal to him?

    Hope I didn't get too many details wrong...

    Only three motherships currently have these upgraded reactors. Most of the, if not all, other Goa'uld don't even know about this. They at best are getting a overhauled stopgap version of the original that's trickling down from Ra's Court.
