The Tok'Ra are not the only ones to have spies amongst the Goa'uuld System Lords & their ranks; nor an information & spy network.
In truth, Sokhar himself developed a spy network of his own to keep tabs on the other System Lords. The Cult of Sokhar, as this spy network is known, consists of thousands of operatives spread throughout the galaxy in the service of almost every Goa'uuld. Morover, the cultists are the most devoted worshippers of Sokhar & reveal in his demonic ways, striving to always do things to advance his cause. Cultists are mostly Human & Jaffa, though at least one Goa'uuld cultist exists & a number of Unas cultists remain loyal to the Syste Lord on more primitive worlds.
The Cult of Sokhar was primarily an information network, though occasionally the System Lord tapped agents in approperiate places for sabotage or assassination purposes. Most such missions were part sabotage & part sacrifice as the cultists rarely survived even when the mission succeeded. As informants, the cultists merely wtached, listened & learned, then passed on the information to the next member in the network until it reached Sokhar himself. Cultists sometimes operated with valuable resources like communication or recording devices, while other times they simply remembered the pertinent information & ensured that every piece of data passed on to the network wasa completely accurate. Spreading false information through the Cult, even unknowingly, was more than a death sentance; it was was eternal d**nation at the hands of Sokhar.
More than just a spy network, the Cult of Sokhar is truly a group of religious fanatics. They perform bizzare rituals, make human & Jaffa sacrifices, & recruit others to their cause. The cultists believe that they earn favour with their dread Lord & that when Sokhar rises again to rule the galaxy as a whole they will stand by his side as gods & underlords. In the same way that many human servitors aspire to please their master & one become host to a Goa'uuld, members of the Cult of Sokhar believe that as a loyal servant, they will also one day be so blessed & be rasied up as a demi-god in the service of the Lord of the Dead.
