"We are not Goa'uld."
—Garshaw

The Tok'ra are a resistance group of symbiotes who resist the cruel ways of the Goa'uld and more specifically, the System Lords, deriving their name from the Goa'uld words "tok", meaning "against" and the name of the Supreme System Lord, the deceased Ra who was killed by Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson on Abydos.

Apophis The Great wrote:Tokra are a group of rebels who tried to face The SYSTEM LORDS and dared to try to take them down. They failed miserably during the 5 millenium they kept doing the fight, formerly they were a group rebelling against Ra, hence tok'ra, which means in Goa'uld "against Ra". At that time Ra was the Supreme System Lord and he captured their queen, Egeria, which was the only goauld queen which created symbiotes with rebelious behaviour. Logically tokra then were low in numbers pretty quick and ran out of symbiots since their queen was emprisonned by the great Ra. Then came the SG-C, led by the General Hammond, and the elite troops of it, the SG-1, composed of Jack O'neill; Samantha Carter, a scientific; Daniel Jackson, a theorician who was the first to say that the pyramids were built by aliens, known as the Goa'ulds, as he was the only one capable of understanding language written, due to his old languages skills. This team managed to travel through the stargate to a planet,Abydos, the homeworld of SSL Ra, and after infiltrating they managed to destroy his ship with a nuclear bomb and killed Ra with this way, we see there of course the usual invincibilty given to heroes in such movies, irrealism in fantasy, that's possible! So since the SGC entered into galaxy business and been the heroes they managed slowly to destroy the System Lords, what the tokra weren't able to do in 5000 years, and SG1 acheived it in 11 years. The tokra has been several times almost annihilated, most notable moments were Apophis attack on tokra homeworld planet causing massive casualities through their ranks. Anubis did his part too with the creation of the "Super Soldiers", almost invicible creatures obeying blindly to their god.
