| [[File:Ra.jpg|thumb]] Ra, the deceased sun god of [[Abydos]], represented [[Earth's]] first exposure to the [[Goa'uld]]. Originally one of the most powerful and influential of the Goa'uld [[System Lords]], Ra was responsible for finding humans on Earth (the "[[Tau'ri]]") and discovering that the Goa'uld could use them as hosts, maintaining their bodies indefinitely with their advanced technology. Ra stumbled upon the planet Earth thousands of years ago, and took an aboriginal boy as his host. | | For many years [[Ra]] was the Supreme System Lord. His death above [[Abydos]] disturbed the balance of power among the other Goa'uld. Some years later the powerful [[Anubis]] used his knowledge of [[Ancients|Ancient]] technology to seize a place of prominence among the System Lords, but there is no indication he was ever awarded the title of "Supreme System Lord" in any formal way. And when Baal seized the armies and territory of a defeated Anubis for himself, the rest of the System Lords formed a [[United Alliance of the System Lords|United Alliance]] against him. |
| Ra is believed to be one of the aliens responsible for taking humans from Earth and seeding them all across the galaxy. These human colonies worship the Goa'uld as gods, serve as slave labor (such as on Abydos, where the people mined [[naquadah]] for Ra) and have no idea that their true origins lie on Earth.

| As a powerful System Lord, Ra's enemies were many. He was mortal enemies with [[Apophis]], his brother in ancient Egyptian mythology. He was also opposed by the Goa'uld [[Shaq'ran]], and defeated the [[Tok'ra]] queen [[Egeria]], who spawned a resistance movement within the Goa'uld. He came into conflict with Earth when the first [[Stargate]] team visited Abydos. After attempting to destroy Earth by sending a naquadah-enhanced nuclear bomb through the Stargate, Ra was killed by [[Jack O'Neill]] and [[Daniel Jackson]] when they transported the bomb to Ra's [[mothership]] -- which was fleeing Abydos after a rebellion by its people.

| Ra had a bride, [[Hathor]], whom he exiled to Earth. She spent thousands of years trapped in a [[sarcophagus]] before being discovered by archaeologists. With Hathor, Ra was the father of [[Heru'ur]], a powerful Goa'uld System Lord in his own right.

A title at times given to the most powerful of all Goa'uld System Lords. Though the System Lords are rivals they often gather in council to negotiate in their mutual self-interest, and when one of them becomes especially powerful they will defer to the Supreme System Lord to a degree -- always waiting for an opportunity to gain the upper hand.
For many years Ra was the Supreme System Lord. His death above Abydos disturbed the balance of power among the other Goa'uld. Some years later the powerful Anubis used his knowledge of Ancient technology to seize a place of prominence among the System Lords, but there is no indication he was ever awarded the title of "Supreme System Lord" in any formal way. And when Baal seized the armies and territory of a defeated Anubis for himself, the rest of the System Lords formed a United Alliance against him.
