Background

Long before the galaxy was colonized by the Goa'uld or the humans, Dakara was the place were the Ancients built a powerful weapon, capable of wiping out all life in the galaxy.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

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 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. In the fictional Stargate universe, the Free Jaffa Nation is the premiere galactic power, given birth to by the Jaffa Resistance. ...
