| [[File:Staffweapon.jpg|thumb]]A weapon of [[Goa'uld]] design. Several feet in length, its head divides into four parts when activated, releasing powerful bolts of plasma energy. The weapon is powered by a small, green container of [[liquid naquadah]]. It is generally considered to be a weapon of terror, since its ability to accurately target a moving object, let alone a motionless one, is less reliable than some human weapons that have pin-point accuracy.

| The staff weapon is, before the [[zat'ni'katel]], the weapon of choice for [[Jaffa]], who train to be proficient with both aiming and firing the weapon, and with using it in hand-to-hand combat. Young warriors are taught personal combat techniques with a wooden training staff, shaped to resemble a staff weapon.
