Only 100 planets? Why, that's only a planet every other year... which actually sounds a lot better when I put it that way. Still, I'd expect more from absolute combat superiority.

Well, I guess that's one way to be productive with your time: playing Civ with actual people 
But seriously, I like your approach Torroar. Letting the people forge their own uplifting, tempering wisdom instead of outright dumping all the know-how.
...I'm guessing the first attempt at uplifting went the way of Tuchanka.

Oh, right. I was going to say something like "That clearly took way too long", but it's probable that you left this universe centuries ago.
The joys of forking.
I think the planet is from season1 epsidode 4 of SG1. The planet of mongols.
I'm betting that the Governor happens to be several centuries old, and gets right to point because he's old enough NOT to take any shit from anyone.
And with the advanced sciences at hand, he probably only looks old because he chooses to. People like a "Wise and Elderly" person they can trust!

What I mean is, how has he not won yet? Won everything, that is. Goa'uld ships even of similar size are about as relevant as a row boat would be against a modern battleship, and he can churn out those battleships faster than they can make rowboats. After so long, I'd kinda expect the Goa'uld to be a bad memory, even if not all of their planets got snapped up by the Wu.
Who wants to bet the Empire of Wu will troll.
SG-1: Talks about four great races
Empire of Wu: Yes The Nox, Asgard, Furling and Ancients. We're friends wit the first two while the last two are extinct.
SG-1: Shiny ancient tech.
Empire of Wu: DON'T TOUCH! I swear the Ancients were deliberately trying to remove idiots from the gene pool of future races.

Explanations to this will involve...updates.
Which will be delayed in rapidity so long as I have tests on my plate.

... all the sass
Remember he still has a limit cap and is thus somewhat limited to mortal forces.
It's not a matter of military force. Sure he can kill off all the snakes, but he can't take over ruling these places directly with his unit cap, and there are a number of reasons to not have droids running everything. Simply telling them the Goa'uld are dead and letting them go about their business would end... badly.
This way he will eventually have enough capable and willing followers to help guide all the simultaneously freed worlds when he smashes a System Lord.

I'm surprised that SG-1 didn't hear about the Empire of Wu before. You think they'd have learned about the one growing galactic power present (while there are plenty of space powers able to resist the Goa'uld absolutely none of them show any signs of growing after having met the Goa'uld.). The idea of a powerful human space power that is still growing should be something to checkout.
But maybe that's why they did hear about them? The Goa'uld don't want to have it become widely known that they have a highly active enemy they can't defeat? It could be information that is only need to know. It's even possible that some form of agreement has been met between the Goa'uld and the Empire. Teal'c did say, "it is the way of things" when threatened, like it was something that was expected for the interactions between the two cultures.
I wonder how planets are selected for uplift? Does it go through a review process, are they selected by which worlds need it the most, or do they primarly target Goa'uld worlds? Just how fast is the Empire expanding anyway?
Though I do wonder if the entire empire is chinese in its culture. While the Network might slowly uplift worlds so that the people's culture remains in contact it's hard if not impossible to stop those same people from trying to imitate what they would likely consider to be the hight of culture. I mean, of course they're going to try to imitate the culture of their glorious ruler. So if the leader favors a Chinese aesthetic those below him are likely to copy said appearance.
And if the Empire of Wu is infact primarily Chinese in its culture I wonder how the Chinese delegation on earth will react to that knowledge when the StarGate program is revealed to them. It's like what would happen if the United Kingdom learned about a space power called the Empire of Britania ruled by the Emperor Arthur. It's a little weird to realize that the stories you used to read are an actual place ruled by the same heroes you looked up to.

It's possible that the Network did in fact enact a massive war against the Goa'uld in the beginning. But it's also likely that the Goa'uld noticed how the Network held human lives in priority.
Facing extinction I don't doubt for a second that the Goa'uld would exploit this fact and use their slave populations as living hostages, possibly with some form of biological weapon or something. Essentially a situation where the Network couldn't enact total war without wiping out all human populations on Goa'uld worlds. So now they're in a sort of Cold War situation where the Empire of Wu slowly grows and where Jaffa totally expect to be flayed to death should they trespass.
Atleast that's what I'm guessing.
Good luck with all the tests and I hope things go well.

Apologies if I sounded a bit demanding, my tactical mind gets away from me sometimes. I do still appreciate the creativity that has gone into changing the setting like this.
This make me feel all fuzzy inside. Thanks you for this update.
I assume to not end up in a situation similar to the Imperium of man. AKA something that is held standing only due to a single man.

Haha, have the Ascended actually flexed some Muscle for once? Given him limitations on what he is allowed to do?
I'm enjoying the Civ game he has started, even if it is a bit cliche (you know how many Stargate crossovers there are that feature empire building? A lot
)
Slow and steady expansion. Although, I would imagine that his worlds would fair better if they actually had an internal gate network for trade/migration/sight-seeing and the like.

More badly than slave worlds? I find that less than likely. We shall wait and see what torroar has thought up.

So they haven't pulled their most stupid shit yet? Well, that kinda makes the comment from the governor pretty assholelish.
I'm waiting for the moment when SG-1 sees a warp gate in operation. Considering their size and the fact that they can be left on indefinatly they are the ultimate highway for a space power. Forget stargates, warp gates are where it's at!
In fact from an outsiders perspective stargates look like the less developed version of a warp gate.
