New Species
Human
There's a good chance you are one! But your character isn't limited to just the planet Earth - there's planets all over the galaxy where humans can be found, thanks to the Goa'uld spreading them around to work as slaves and worship them as gods.

Jaffa
Jaffa, once slaves to the Goa'uld System Lords, are now free. With the help of the Tok'ra and the Tau'ri, Jaffa alive during their race's oppression no longer rely on a symbiote - instead the use a drug called tretonin to supplement their immune system. Jaffa who were never implanted with a symbiote don't have to rely on the drug.

If the drug is not administered, the character suffers one wound per day since the tretonin was last taken.

Tok'ra
One of the first allies of the Tau'ri, Tok'ra are a genetic offshoot of the Goa'uld; a symbiote that requires a host to live, but in the Tok'ra's case they insist on a symbiotic relationship with the host where both the host and symbiote live as equals.
The Tok'ra are the sworn enemies of the Goau'ld, preferring to use subterfuge and infiltration to achieve their means over an outright war due to their small number.
- Starting Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn

New Talents
Linguist: Once per session, re-roll any Language Skill check.
ATA Gene: A character with the ATA Gene is able to, with practice, initialise and use any technology built by the Ancients with either the ATO or ATI gear qualities. This can be taken at character creation (meaning your character had the ATA Gene naturally or by successful gene therapy) or taken later. If taken after character creation, your character must make an Average (dd) Willpower check. If this roll succeeds, the character has the recessive gene and the therapy is successful. Otherwise, the character does not have the recessive gene.
