DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY

An arachnid race resembling large humanoid spiders. They live 180o out of phase with normal reality, making them invisible to the naked eye. The mere presence of a Re'tu gives great pain to the Goa'uld symbiote.

The Goa'uld saw their invisible nature as a threat and developed technology to combat them. Weapons such as the transphase eradication rods were used to attack the Re'tu, nearly destroying their civilisation on Retalia.

After the attack, the major part of Re'tu society known as the Re'tu Central Authority simply wanted to rebuild their civilisation in peace. But a rebel faction wanted vengeance on the Goa'uld by systematically wiping out every race that could become a host to a symbiote in a war of attrition...

Charlie
Created by Mother in order to communicate with the people in the SGC. After saving Earth from several Re'tu rebels that infiltrated the SGC, Charlie's health began to fail due to the acceleration process used in his creation. He accepted to become the host of a Tok'ra in order to continue to live on.

Mother
Sent by the Re'tu Central Authority to prevent the Re'tu rebels from destroying Earth. She created Charlie in order to communicate with the people in the SGC, she also cared for young Charlie as would a real mother.

Mother was killed in an altercation with one of the rebels.
