 After being saved by a group of free female Jaffa, SG-1 is taken to the females  homeworld to meet their leader, Ishta. Ishtar proposes an alliance between her all-female rebel group, Haktil, and the Tau ri. The Tau ri offer her Tritonin to supplant their practice of taking the symbiotes from defeated Jaffa in the service of the Goa uld. However, since Tritonin has only had two test subjects, Teal c and Bra tac, they are cautious to spread it among their ranks.
