- "I and I alone killed this one... But I will not take Sabek's place. My own worth and position is greater than Sabek's. I am legend. I am Hathor."
- ―Hathor[[Stargate: Rebellion 1|[src]]]
Hathor was a godling who belonged to the House of Ra.
Biography[]
Background information[]
When the Setim people, a red-furred coyote-like species, rebelled against Ra, she offered to quell the rebellion personally, as she despised them. Ra agreed. Using ships and udajeet fighters, she committed genocide against the Setim people and believed she had exterminated them all. This event was remembered in human race memory as the mythological defeat of the evil god Set by Hathor.
When her life was threatened, she enclosed herself in a Mastaba at one of her secret outposts located on an unnamed moon in the Kaliam galaxy. She remained hidden from her enemies for over 8,000 years.
After 1994[]
Reawakening[]
In the aftermath of the death of Ra on Abydos, she was awakened by Thoth, a loyal member of the House of Ra, who informed her of Ra's death. Hathor immediately took Ra's place, as she was his wife. She, along with Thoth, arrived at the Goa'uld base on Tuat to take immediate command of Ra's domain of the galaxy. She executed Sabek and took control of his forces. (Stargate: Rebellion 1)
Taking control[]
She then met with Ptah, and engineer and her former husband now turned cyborg, and gained his support. She ordered Ptah to rebuild a space fleet decomissioned by Ra while she slept. As this was going on, she continued to eliminate her rivals, including Seket.
Khnum attempted to assassinate Hathor in order to remove her as a rival and consolidate his own claim to succession. Hathor used the minor godling Hapi as a shield, and then killed Khnum in retaliation. (Stargate: Rebellion 2)
During a test of the recently-completed battleship, the followers of Sebek attempted to assassinate her. She recovered and killed the conspirators, but they managed to kill Thoth in the battle, damaging his head so he couldn't be revived by sarcophagus. She gathered a small force aboard the newly relaunched ship, Ra's Eye, to head to Abydos and determine Ra's fate.
Battle on Abydos[]
Arriving on Abydos, her ship was met with a force of tanks, helicopters, and infantry led by General Keogh. From the ship's scanners, Hathor correctly deduced that Keogh's troops are humans from Earth who killed Ra. She destroyd all the helicopters and most of the tanks, killing Keogh in the process. She then took her ship to the pyramid and landed. The vessel's bulk covered up the entrance, cutting the Earthlings off from the Stargate. She sent Horus guards to secure the gate, resulting in a battle with heavy losses on both sides as the guards attempted an assault on Stargate Command.
Jack O'Neil took command of Keogh's remaining troops. He, Skaara, his militia, Daniel Jackson and Shau'ri headed to the pyramid to meet up with Kawalsky, who took command of the remaining UMC security at the pyramid. He brought out the Stinger missiles O'Neil had insisted on bringing from Earth, and his and O'Neil's forces used them to shoot down half of Hathor's udajeets.
Surprised at the enemy resistance, Hathor recalled her remaining gliders, but Kawalsky's men ambushed them as the came in for landing. The crashing gliders caused damage to Hathor's ship. When the surviving udajeet pilots tried to retreat inside the ship, Kawalsky and his men again ambushed them and blocked the door open. They, along with O'Neil, boarded the ship.
Hathor, realizing her position was no longer tenable, tried to take off, but damage from the battle and the rushed construction caused power to fail. Hathor blamed Ptah, and ordered her remaining crew to evacuate through the matter transporter to the StarGate. She caught a glimpse of Daniel before she escaped. (Stargate: Rebellion)
As 'Faizah'[]
Determined not to let the failure to secure Abydos set back her plans, she decided to take a more subtle approach. Hearing of Daniel Jackson's teaching English classes, she joined the class under the alias 'Faizah'. As Faizah, she was able to capture Daniel's attention as an eager and highly adept student, and even caused some friction in his marriage when she attempted to seduce him.
When Barbara Shore and Gary Meyers were brought to Abydos to examine the Ra's Eye, Faizah acted as a translator at Daniel's request.
On their way back from a farming commune, the pair were saved from a violent riot by the timely intervention of an armoured car patrol. Fearing for his life, Daniel took out his frustrations out on Kasuf, publicly embarrassing him over the state of the Abydon community. Shau'ri, upset at his actions toward her father, and his flirtations with Faizah, left him.
Daniel realized the fault in his words and made peace with Kasuf. He arranged for a summit between Kasuf and Nakeer to see about easing tensions and creating a new system of government. At the summit, an assassin loyal to Hathor shot both Nakeer and Kasuf with a pistol, killing the former and putting the latter in a coma, before fleeing. One of the guards saw the assassin had blonde hair and concluded it must be Daniel. Meanwhile Hathor, maintaining the ruse as Faizah, informed the unaware Daniel of his having been implicated in the assassination attempt. She rushed him to her secret hideout, ostensibly to keep him safe. She tried to seduce him again, but upon discovering he's wearing Ra's medallion, she knocked him out instead.
Boat of a Million Years[]
Daniel awoke in the desert to find himself held prisoner by a Horus guard and Hathor, who dropped the ruse and revealed herself to him. She told him him that Ra's medallion was a key that would activate the StarGate and take it to a secret location. She saw him use it before she was put in stasis but never found out where it led. She appealed to his curiosity as an archaeologist to help her learn Ra's final secret. They returned to the pyramid, escorted by the Horus guards who had taken control of the area. When they arrive, Hathor used the key to activate the gate, and she and Daniel went through.
Meanwhile, Skaara and his militia tracked the assassin back to "Faizah's" hideout and killed a Horus guard stationed there. Discovering Daniel's personal effects on top of a rumpled bed, Skaara concluded that Daniel had been unfaithful and relayed his suspicions to Shau'ri.
On the other side of the StarGate, Daniel and Hathor found themselves on a strange ship, known as the Boat of a Million Years, floating in deep space. Ra's original pyramid ship was a detachable lifeboat for it, and the ship was considerably larger. The pair interacted with the ship's artificial intelligence system and learned that there were aliens sleeping in stasis aboard - the Setim, which shocked Hathor as she'd believed she had exterminated 8,000 years prior. Daniel noted the strange race were likely the basis of the mysterious animal that represented the god Set. Hathor learned that the ship was very powerful, not far from Abydos and only a year away from Earth with the ship's hyperdrive. As she tried to operate the controls, Daniel sneaked away, deduced how to activate the StarGate back to Abydos, and escaped.
Hathor brought the ship over the mines. Using the weapons, she destroyed all of O'Neil's armored units and defences in the area. She then contacted her Horus guards still on the ground and ordered them to take control of the mines. They forced the workers to gather as much quartz material as they can and load it onto her ship. Realising that Hathor planned to destroy Abydos once she had enough of the material, Daniel and O'Neil worked quickly to arrange a complete evacuation, with some taking the Ra's Eye and other heading for the StarGate, before Daniel and Shau'ri launched an attack on the mines to free the remaining prisoners. Realising what was happening Hathor attempted to fire on the refugees before they could reach the gate, but her inexperience with the weapons systems caused her to largely miss. Shortly after this, Abydos was destroyed. She then turned her attention to her imminent plans for an invasion of Earth. (Stargate: Retaliation)
Assault on Earth[]
Hathor and her Horus guard Khonsu realized they would have to revive the Setim crew in order to make the ship ready to conquer Earth. Knowing what she did to the other Setim on Ombus, Hathor restricted access to any information that that could allow the Setim to find out about the ship's logs after they were put into stasis. When she revived them, she led them to believe that the rebellion on Earth 8,000 years prior was occurring presently and they must quell it in Ra's name. Most of the crew complied, but one Nekhti, son of Ushabti, is suspicious of her. When he discovers her security blocks, he grew even more so.
When Hathor's ship entered the system. General West took command of U.S. Space Command in Cheyenne Mountain. The satellites and shuttles launched nuclear missiles at the Boat of a Million Years, but most were intercepted by point-defence weaponry or impact against the ship's force field. When they used their energy weapons, they did more damage, but not enough to stop the ship. Hathor began targeting the Earth weapons platforms. Central Command activated its land-based weapons and dealt massive damage to Hathor's ship.
Nekhti, suspicious that Earth has such sophisticated technology, tries to contact any Setim on the planet. His signal causes Central Command to stop firing as its programmed not to attack Setim. The delay allowed Hathor to attack and destroy the Setim weapon emplacements on the planet. Before Nekhti can communicate further, he was reassigned to damage control.
With their defences failing and their best weapon gone, West, O'Neil, and Daniel realized the only way to stop Hathor is to use the StarGate to sneak aboard her ship and plant a bomb. Daniel volunteered for the mission, along with O'Neil, Kawalsky, and Ferretti. The team were able to board the Boat of a Million Years. They were spotted by a Setim engineer as they made their way to the library where they hope to plant the bomb. Setim soldiers attacked them, wounding Kawalsky, damaging the bomb, and separating Daniel from the group. Daniel met with Nekhti. He explained to him about Earth and the death of the Setim. Nekhti was reluctant to believe him, so Daniel took him to the library, and bypassed Hathor's lockouts, showing Nekhti the history of the Setim genocide, the Earth rebellion, and the death of Ra. Enraged at the death of his father and people, Nekhti agreed to help them in exchange for safe passage to Earth. He mobilized his people to sabotage the ship's engines and then make for the StarGate.
Hathor discovered there are intruders aboard and their intentions. She rallied what Satim were still loyal to her and rushed to guard the StarGate. Khonsu found Nekhti and killed him, but not before the Setim sent the information Hathor's crimes to every console in the ship. O'Neil then fought Khonsu, allowing Daniel to shoot him. (Stargate)
Death[]
When they reach the StarGate, they found Hathor and her Setim guards waiting, but they shot her with a blast lance when they saw Nekhti's message. Daniel offered to take her to Earth for medical treatment, but she refused, preferring to die in the great ship. (Stargate: Retribution)
