Scarrans

Scarrans are a fictional alien species appearing in the science fiction franchise Stargate. Introduced in the television series Stargate SG-1, they are a militaristic and expansionist race with a history of conflict with Earth's Stargate Command (SGC). Scarrans are characterized by their reptilian appearance, often depicted with scaled skin, slit pupils, and a generally imposing physical presence.

Their society is hierarchical and driven by conquest, with a strong emphasis on military strength and territorial expansion. Scarrans possess advanced technology, including sophisticated starships and weaponry, which they utilize in their ongoing efforts to dominate other worlds. They are known to be ruthless and pragmatic in their dealings, often viewing other species as inferior or as potential resources to be exploited.

Throughout Stargate SG-1 and its spin-off series, Scarrans served as recurring antagonists. Their motivations typically revolved around acquiring new territories, enslaving populations, and obtaining valuable resources. While often portrayed as a singular, unified force, there have been instances of internal political maneuvering and factionalism within their leadership. The SGC's interactions with the Scarrans have frequently involved diplomatic challenges, military engagements, and attempts to understand and counter their strategic objectives. Their advanced technology and aggressive nature made them a significant threat within the Stargate universe.
