Goa'uld Empire

The Goa'uld Empire was the collective holdings of the Goa'uld. Territorially, it was the largest grouping in the Milky Way. Politically, however, the Empire was fractional and prone to chaos. The Empire was divided into individual domains ruled by the System Lords, the most powerful Goa'ulds. While they were constatnly fighting and scheming against each other, they would ally against external threats (such as the Asgard, the Tauri, and the Reetou) or mutual internal threats (such as the Tok'ra, the Jaffa Rebellion, and rogue Goa'uld such as Sokar and Anubis). The Goa'uld Empire was destroyed when Rebel Jaffa took Dakara from Baal, and the rest of the Jaffa rose up against the remaining Goa'uld.
