The Tok'ra are a group of human-symbiote pairings that actively oppose the Goa'uld. They use infiltration and guerilla tactics as needed. They are allies of the SGC and frequently provide manpower and starships to help Earth. The symbiotes are the same species as the Goa'uld, but they are the descendents of Egeria, a queen symbiote who opposed the forced taking of hosts. The Tok'ra symbiotes seek a truly symbiotic relationship with their hosts, one of true sharing, rather than a parasitic one. The first Tok'ra met was Jolinar of Malkshur.


The Tok'ra thought that they would be able to handle the keys to the rogue elemental prisoners but were unable to do so.  Thus losing control and setting them free.
