6. Ishta

Ishta had once been a High Priestess under the Goa'uld System Lord Moloc. During her tenure, she was forced to oversee sacrificial ceremonies of all young female Jaffa, as Moloc dictated that only male Jaffa should serve in his armies, making them stronger in his belief. She quickly found that she was unable to continue being a part of this, leading a group of fellow female Jaffa in saving many of the girls on her worlds.

She developed this following into a rebel faction, the Hak'tyl Resistance. At first, their methods were also brutal. They would attack and kill Jaffa warriors, then steal their symbionts for the girls they protected. They did this believing there was no other option, not knowing of the drug Tretonin, which served as a substitute for a Prim'ta.

Her activities brought her into contact with Teal'c and the pair quickly bonded. She began to come around to Tretonin, helping to break the cycle of dependence. Later, when Moloc discovered the Hak'tyl, she was brutally tortured by him and his First Prime. She was rescued by Teal'c and SG-1. At this parting, she and Teal'c agreed that they would meet each other again, though it was the last time that she was seen or heard of in the show.
