Dakara is a planet in the fictional Stargate universe of the Science Fiction series Stargate SG-1 . BACKGROUND Long before the galaxy was colonized by the Goa'uld or the humans, Dakara was the place where the Ancients built a powerful Device , capable of creating life where there was none. This device was built in a larger complex and the controls for the weapon lied in a small chamber hidden behind a wall with a complex puzzle acting as a lock. After the Ancients disappeared, the Goa'uld System Lord s took over the planet, which became a holy ground for them but especially for the Jaffa . According to the stories told by the Jaffa, Dakara was the planet where their enslavement began. 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. CURRENT TIME After the Replicators started to invade the galaxy, killing Goa'uld and taking over their fleets, Bra'tac and Teal'c decided that this was the best time to take over Dakara, which would give the Jaffa Rebellion a huge propaganda victory, because no god would allow that such a holy ground would be taken over. Although at first many rebel Jaffa didn't like the idea and thought it was crazy, they finally agreed and a small fleet attacked Dakara. Because the planet was only lightly protected (the other troops were fighting the Replicators), it easily fell to the rebellion. However it was during this time that the SGC was informed by Ba'al , that Dakara was the home of an Ancient device that could be converted into a superweapon, and that he was working for Anubis , who wanted to use the weapon to wipe out all life in the galaxy to remake it after his wishes. So Ba'al sent a fleet to the planet and attacked the rebel fleet, while Samantha Carter , with the aid of her father, Jacob Carter , his Tok'ra symbiote, Selmak , and later even Ba'al, modified and used the weapon to wipe out all Replicators in the galaxy. The capture of the planet proved to the majority of Jaffa still in servitude, that the Goa'uld were not in fact gods. This led to a general revolt by the Jaffa against their masters. Combined with the weakened state the Goa'uld were left in after their war with the Replicators, this resulted in the collapse of the System Lords. Shortly after this occurred, the Free Jaffa Nation was declared, with Dakara being made the capital. However Anubis made a last attempt to recapture the planet and was even able to activate the weapon. However then Oma Desala , the Ancient who allowed Anubis to ascend, intervened and the weapon was shut down. Afterwards it was destroyed, to prevent Anubis or anyone else from ever using it. |
