| - The Free Jaffa, formerly the Rebel Jaffa, are an offshoot of humanity genetically engineered by the Goa'uld System Lords to serve as slaves and soldiers. Of all the modifications to their physiology, their unique abdominal pouch is most-prominent, and serves to incubate larval Goa'uld for later implantation. The infant parasite provides increased strength, longevity, and health, at the cost of supplanting the Jaffa's natural immune system, effectively forcing them on lifelong dependence until the development of tretonin. Now free of their enslavers, the Jaffa have established the Free Jaffa Nation to represent their interests on the galactic stage, and are the dominant military, economic, and cultural power in the Milky Way Galaxy. They are members of the Interstellar Alliance, holding a seat on its ruling council and thus dictating much of its policy. Despite these advances, however, some of the populace choose to stand independent of the new government, or have remained loyal to the remaining Goa'uld.
