sg_a_Dakara file - Level Design Group

The planet was originally inhabited by the Ancients; it was the first planet they landed on when they arrived in the Milky Way. On the planet they built a superweapon monument that once gave a rebirth to life in this galaxy following the devastation of a great plague that had swept through. The controls for the weapon lie in a small chamber hidden behind a wall with a complex puzzle acting as a lock. A Stargate lies at the base of this monument, and when the device is properly reprogrammed it would allow the energy field to pass through and spread to all of the gates in the Milky Way.After the disappearance of the Ancients the planet apparently came under control of the Goa'uld. The System Lords were aware that a powerful weapon on Dakara existed, but were unable to find it. The planet served a sinister role for the Goa'uld who used it to enslave the Jaffa. According to the stories told by the Jaffa, Dakara was the planet where their enslavement began, as it was the site of the firstPrim'ta ritual. At the Temple, Jaffa were given their strength and symbiotes. The temple is the ultimate holy ground of the Goa'uld, who kept the Jaffa loyal by propagating lies that they were gods. The very idea of stepping into Dakara was unthinkable to the Jaffa.
