Sokar’s Rise and the Campaign for Netu

Sokar’s return threatened to replace the unstable balance among the System Lords with an empire built on terror. From Delmak, he assembled forces while using its moon Netu as a prison, interrogation center, and living image of hell. This episode examines the campaign that drew SG-1 and the Tok’ra into Netu after Jacob Carter and Selmak were captured. Sokar wanted intelligence on Tok’ra operations, while the rescue team needed Jolinar’s memories to navigate a prison where every inmate could become an informant. Conditions on Netu were deliberately engineered to destroy solidarity: heat, scarcity, torture, and the rule of Bynarr kept prisoners competing for survival. The discovery that Apophis was alive under the identity Na’onak added another dangerous player to the mission. Sokar’s strength came not only from fleets but from his ability to turn captivity into a system of political control. Escaping Netu required breaking that system from within.
