and kills any Wraith who attempts to do so. It first appears in "Poisoning the Well", where the Atlantis Expedition is made aware of the drug. They quickly discover that the drug's positive benefits come with a 50% chance of death in the subject. The Hoffans distributed it among their population anyway, and the Wraith exterminated them as a result. The drug is later discovered and refined by Michael, reducing the fatality rate to 30%, and distributed to several random planets in Pegasus. To that end, in "Outsiders", it is revealed the Wraith are destroying any civilization associated with the drug so they can feed "indiscriminately" again.

Naqahdriah emits radiation that can cause death, or in non-lethal doses brain damage, resulting in delusions or schizophrenia. The energy released by naqahdriah can catalyze nearby naqahdah into more naqahdriah in a self-sustaining reaction. Naqahdriah was thought to occur naturally only in the nation of Kelowna on the planet Langara, but was later discovered that it was created by a Goa'uld during an experiment. In Kelowna it is used to construct weapons of mass destruction for a cold war against two rival nations. The Kelownan Jonas Quinn

Naqahdriah allows the Earth X-302 fighter to be fitted with a far smaller hyperdrive than would otherwise be possible, although its instability limits the drive's utility to short, unguided jumps. The Earth ship Prometheus also initially uses naqahdriah in its hyperdrive, though the element's instability causes problems on its first flight. The Earth Mark IX "Gatebuster" nuclear bomb is enhanced with naqahdriah and is designed to detonate the naqahdah in a Stargate to create a massive explosion.

In and , a second type of Asuran warship is shown, smaller in size than the Aurora-class. Prominent Asuran technologies include:

Core drive A component of an Asuran battleship's navigation system. An Asuran copy of Keller gives one to a clone of Elizabeth Weir, who in turn gives it to the Atlantis Expedition. McKay uses it to track all the Aurora-class battleships in the Pegasus galaxy.
Probe Hyperspace-capable device used by Oberoth's forces to track down the remnants of Niam's rebel group. It is shot down over their duplicate Atlantis, though not before transmitting data back to Asuras.
Satellite weapon Weapon sent to attack Atlantis in response to Earth's preemptive strike on Asuras, consisting of a stripped-down ship with a Stargate, hyperdrive, shield, and sensors. Once the Stargate activates, the Asurans transmit a powerful energy beam through. The beam doubles as an unlimited power source for the shield, effectively making the satellite indestructible. The wormhole can be maintained indefinitely by means of multiple ZPMs on the other side, which also prevents the target's Stargate from dialing out. Atlantis only survives the satellite weapon by moving out of range, leaving its planet for another.

Goa'uld technology

The Goa'uld

Goa'uld

are the main adversaries for most of the run of Stargate SG-1. They scavenged or conquered most of their advanced technologies from other races. However, there are innovators amongst the Goa'uld; Anubis and Ba'al in particular have been depicted with a great deal of technological ingenuity. Many Goa'uld devices, such as the staff weapon, are designed to be more showy than practical, meant to intimidate and reinforce their position as gods to their followers. Some pieces of Goa'uld technology, such as the hand device and the healing device, respond only to mental commands and require naqahdah in the bloodstream of the user to operate. Prominent Goa'uld technologies include:

Force shield An energy barrier, also called a force-field or simply a shield. Goa'uld force shields work on a frequency oscillation principle, so a relatively slow moving object can bypass it at the right moment. Goa'uld motherships are protected by force shields, as are some ground-based facilities. Force shields are also installed inside ships to restrict access to certain areas, and to contain hull breaches. Some powerful Goa'uld are equipped with personal force shields activated with a button on their hand device. These shields react proportionally to the amount of kinetic energy of incoming matter, so they can be penetrated by relatively slow-moving objects such as a thrown knife. The Tok'ra

and requires naqahdah in the bloodstream to operate. They utilize a modified version of a staff weapon's power source channeled through amplification crystals, and are thought-controlled. The hand device can generate a shockwave that throws back anyone in its path with great force. The Jaffa attribute the Goa'uld ability to hurl people through the air as a sign of their divine power. The hand device can also generate an energy stream to a person's head that causes severe pain and eventual death. This function creates a mental link between Goa'uld and victim, which may allow the Goa'uld host to send a message through. Hand devices can also be used to block zat blasts, and have buttons on the wrist for controlling Goa'uld technology.

refuse to use the sarcophagus. Sarcophagi are sometimes used to preserve individuals for thousands of years, although there is a limit to how long a sarcophagus can extend a person's life. The first sarcophagus was created by the Goa'uld Telchak, using a less potent version of the energy emitted by an Ancient healing device.
Staff weapon Standard weapon used by the Jaffa, consisting of a metal quarterstaff with an almond-shaped head that splits open to fire a powerful energy blast. There is a counterbalancing club on the back end, allowing the weapon to be used in melee combat at close ranges. It is powered by liquid naqahdah. In skilled hands it can be quite effective, but it is less accurate and slower to fire than Earth-made firearms; Jack O'Neill describes it as a "weapon of terror" rather than of war. Heavier models of the weapon can be slung at the waist by a strap, or mounted on fixed or mobile platforms to act as artillery support. Goa'uld ships are equipped with large-scale versions of these weapons. The Sodan use a variant of the staff weapon with the back half removed, making it light and easier to carry.
Zat'nik'tel (Zat) A commonly used sidearm shaped like a small snake curved into an "S" shape, that springs forward when activated.

. The epidemic is cured with assistance from the Ancient Orlin, the Sodan, and the Jaffa Gerak (who had been transformed into a Prior), though not before thousands of lives are lost.
Shields Several forms of Ori shields have been depicted. Ori ships are equipped with powerful shields that are impervious to almost any attack. In , a Prior generates a force-field that uses the energy of incoming weapons fire to expand. The shield is projected through the Stargate and persists even after the Prior is destroyed, and eventually covers the entire planet after absorbing the energy of an Earth-made Mark-IX naqahdriah-enhanced nuclear bomb. It then collapses the planet into a quantum singularity, to serve as the power source for a nearby Supergate. The Orici, Adria, is protected by a personal shield generated by a pendant around her neck. According to her, it contains a piece of Celestis, the Ori holy city. It protects her against the Dakara superweapon in . In , she extends the shield around SG-1 and Ba'al to protect them against a dragon

seals the Supergate to the Ori by opening a connection from the Pegasus galaxy to a regular Stargate near the Supergate, and then "jumping" the wormhole to the Supergate with a large nuclear explosion. The Supergate is reopened in order to send the Sangraal to the Ori galaxy, and is used by the Odyssey to travel to the Ori galaxy. The special effects for the Supergate are not always consistent regarding its size in different episodes.
Ori Staff Weapon A small, metallic staff used by Ori warriors as their primary weapon. It seems to be a much more refined version of a Goa'uld staff weapon. It fires small blue/white bolts of plasma, rather than a large blob of yellow plasma, as with the Goa'uld's version. It is powered by a small blue crystal that is also capable of powering other Ancient devices by using wires to transfer the current.
Ori Stun Weapon A small hand weapon shaped in the symbol of Origin that is worn as a gauntlet on the arm of Ori soldiers. The Ori stun weapon appears to share the same blue/white plasma energy as the larger Ori staff weapon, but is less potent. This weapon is similar in function to the Zat'ni'katel with one shot from this weapon capable of rendering an individual unconscious and multiple shots required to kill.
Prior Staff A tall staff with a blue jewel at the top that is carried by the Priors. This staff is adorned with the symbol of Origin and when activated the crystal on the top glows, likely serving to convince followers of Origin that the actions performed by the Priors are miracles of the Ori. The staff is connected to that of every other Prior through a subspace link, strong enough to cover an entire galaxy but not strong enough to reach the home galaxy of the Ori.

and thus have access to many of their technologies, such as force-fields, memory devices and transphase eradication rods. Tok'ra forces rely on zat'n'ktels, as they lack the naqahdah necessary to build staff weapons. The Tok'ra often assist the SGC in developing new technologies, and they have provided many pieces of their technology to Stargate Command

when required. Tok'ra one-way force-fields are installed in the SGC's isolation rooms. Prominent Tok'ra technologies include:

Crystal tunnel Used by the Tok'ra to quickly build new bases, these tunnels grow underground automatically from a small seed crystal into predetermined configurations, manufacturing oxygen in the process to create a livable environment. They can also be collapsed rapidly should the Tok'ra need to evacuate. They are used to facilitate a Langaran drilling machine on a mission to stop the underground spread of naqahdriah.
Goa'uld tracking network An encoded subspace network that receives signals from tracking devices on over a hundred Ha'taks, placed by Tok'ra operatives over a number of years. Jacob/Selmak provides a receiver to this network to the SGC in order to monitor the war between the Goa'uld and the Replicators.

The Trust later gains access to the poison and uses it to attack Goa'uld worlds in "Endgame", killing millions of Jaffa in the process.
Tretonin A drug extracted from Goa'uld symbiotes, introduced in as the creation of the Pangaran civilization, using the spawn of the Tok'ra Queen Egeria. The drug reproduces the symbiote's healing powers, allowing perfect health and extended life, while also suppressing the user's natural immune system as the symbiote does. The Tok'ra eventually develop a synthetic version of tretonin, which is first tested on the Jaffa in and eventually becomes widespread amongst the Jaffa, freeing them from their dependence on the Goa'uld. Tretonin is ineffective in a small number of Jaffa.
Za'tarc detector A device invented by Anise, meant to work in conjunction with a memory device to search for false memories that would indicate that a person has been brainwashed into a za'tarc assassin. It works by comparing the subject's conscious and subconscious mind.

es for use against the Daedalus and the Asurans. The Wraith also operate an extensive network of transmitters and relay devices throughout Pegasus that allow them to respond rapidly to events of interest. Many pieces of Wraith technology, including their ships, are a hybrid of organic and mechanical parts with the ability to heal damage. Prominent Wraith technologies include:

Culling beam A short-range transporter beam that dematerializes and stores matter for rematerialization at a later time. They are most often mounted on the bottom of Wraith darts for the purpose of capturing human prey, hence the common name. They can also be used to deploy troops, or as a site-to-site teleportation system in Wraith facilities.
EM generator An experimental device that generates a low-frequency pulse capable of triggering traumatic hallucinations in nearby humans, meant to enhance the Wraith's telepathic ability to create illusions. Abandoned on a planet after it proved unstable, it is activated by a group of Genii

uses one as a landmine in an unsuccessful attempt to kill a Wraith in . It should be noted that this grenade has a golden colour, an inorganic design and seems designed to kill rather than stun it's targets. For these reasons it should be considered a possibility that the wraith from which the devices were recovered may have taken them from a victim, possibly a Lantean.

-type spike. Some humans are more resistant to stunner blasts than others, and humans under the influence of Wraith feeding enzyme are either immune or extremely tolerant to its effects. The Atlantis Expedition has accumulated a cache of stunners from their encounters with the Wraith.
Subspace tracker An organic device that transmits a tracking signal through subspace, allowing targets to be tracked from many light-years away. Runners have these surgically implanted into their back, usually in or near their spinal columns, preventing easy removal and enabling the Wraith to easily keep track of them.
Intergalactic Communication Device Constructed by a Wraith on Earth in a parallel universe. Used electricity from the main power grid of the US to send a message to other Wraith about the location of Earth. When activated, it also generates an enormous EM field that can cause blackouts miles away. Due to the immense power, the device also opened a small rift in the space-time continuum, carrying the message to other realities due to it being destroyed before the transmission was finished.

Other technology

Various other technologies have been depicted in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis that are significant to the plot, including:

symbiotes. SG-1 undertakes a mission to destroy Apophis' advanced mothership under the armbands' influence, but discover that the effects wear off as the host acquires antibodies to the virus.
Memory-grafting device Technology invented by the Galarans (at least particularity based and enhanced from other technologies left on their world), allowing one person's memories to be read, stored, and implanted seamlessly with human physiology. Earth expresses interest in the device due to its great military and professional potential, though it is shown that there is also the potential for abuse.

Afterwards, the mirror is stored at Area 51. It is used by alternate versions of Samantha Carter and Charles Kawalsky to flee from Goa'uld domination in their universe. The mirror is later destroyed.
Tollan ion cannon The primary defense technology of the Tollan. They are ground-based weapons that can destroy a Ha'tak in a single shot, until Anubis devises shield modifications that render them useless. Under Goa'uld pressure, the Tollan offer ion cannon technology to Earth in exchange for trinium. However, Samantha Carter

determines that it would be impractical for Earth to deploy an ion cannon network due to the number of cannons required.
Tollan phase device A small device developed by the Tollan which allows them to pass through solid matter such as walls or the iris protecting Earth's Stargate. The Tollan later incorporate this technology into a powerful bomb developed for the Goa'uld Tanith and were planned to be used to destroy Stargate Command before the Tollan rebelled against Tanith.

, first seen in . It has three settings that are indicated by color on the weapon: orange for stun, white for kill and red for incinerate. The origin of the weapon is still unknown, though the episode shows the Travelers carrying the same type of weapons. It is unknown whether the Travelers developed these weapons or simply scavenged them.
Sentinel Advanced defensive device created by the Latonans, who have since rejected technology and forgotten its specifications. The device is inadvertently disabled by two NID agents seeking to study its technology for the defense of Earth, leaving Latona vulnerable. SG-1 determines that the Sentinel must be bonded to a human operator to activate; one of the NID agents originally responsible volunteers in order to save Latona from Svarog.
