The Sentinel is a planetary defense system on Latona that is dependent on a human caretaker in order to function properly. The device removes invaders in flashes of light, presumably killing them.
Approximately three hundred years ago, the Latonans built the Sentinel as a planetary defense system designed to protect the people while they pursued matters of the mind and spirit. The system successfully kept both the Goa'uld and other potential invaders from conquering the planet.
By 2002, the Latonans had technologically regressed to the point where they had no clue how the Sentinel functioned. This posed a problem after a rogue NID unit killed the defense system's caretaker and stole the device itself. Although they eventually returned it to the planet, it could no longer function. This left the planet subject to invasion by the Goa'uld Svarog.
The invasion was averted by SG-1 when Dr. Daniel Jackson realized the Sentinel's dependency on human touch. The device was reactivated and eliminated the Goa'uld invasion force. (SG1: "The Sentinel")
