The new homeworld of the Tok'Ra, this desert planet is a wonderous sight, with eligent Tok'Ra artetechture interspersed between tranquil seas of sweeping sand dunes.
The planet is covered in various cities & monuments dedicated to Tok'Ra pursuits & history; with the captial the closest - & largest - settlement located nearest the Stargate itself. The captial itself is a marvel to behold, a beautiful construct of Tok'Ra engineering; combing functionality, futuristic designs & asethetics in a manner that is both visually stunning & pleasing to the eye.
Futuristic constructs & bold, yet subtle, designs blend a seamless meld of metal, glass & Tok'Ra crystaline constructs to form beautiful buildings which are as much functional as they are works of art; & are often decorated internally with murels, painting, water features & other forms of interior design.
The Stargate lies some distance from the captial, & is gaurded & monitored by senturies hidden in the surronding sand dunes at all times. The Tok'Ra also have an intracate network of their famous tunnels in place all over the planet & under their cities, providing safe passage undetected from the surface & allowing for covert relaying of information from one outpost to the next, as well as providing for alternate shelter in times of need.
During the Holy Crusade by the Orii Worshippers to convert the Milkyway Galaxy to Origin, the Tok'Ra helped the war effort against the invading armies of the Orii by joining in the Battle of Supergate, & later, with spy missions on occupied & conquered worlds; as well as playing a part in an attempt to replace a Baahl clone with a Tok'Ra symbiote when he temporarily possessed Adria (the Orici), leader of the Holy Orii Armies.
With the Holy Crusade eventually stopped & the fall of the Goa'uuld, the Tok'Ra have focused on replenishing their ranks; with Queen Egeria spawning many new Tok'Ra - including several Queen symbionts - since her re-discovery a few years ago, as well as recruiting new hosts from volunteer & allied worlds throughout all galactic territories known to them.
In addition to hunting down any remaining Goa'uuld which may still be at large - something the Tok'Ra feel very strongly & very passionate about - the Tok'Ra have begun to establish themselves as a galactic power & nation in their own right, offering their services as spies, scouts, diplomats & traders.
