Turakians are known for their advanced technology and their hierarchical society. Physically, they are tall, slender beings with scaled skin, sharp claws, and distinctly reptilian facial features.

The Turakians are characterized by their disciplined and militaristic nature. They possess a strong sense of honor and duty, and their society is structured around a rigid caste system. While generally portrayed as antagonists in their initial appearances, their motivations are often rooted in a desire for survival and expansion, rather than pure malice.

In the Stargate universe, Turakian technology often involves energy weapons, advanced spacecraft, and sophisticated defensive systems. Their ships are typically sleek and formidable. Their interaction with the Stargate Command (SGC) usually involves battles or attempts at strategic alliances or conquest. The Turakians represent a significant alien civilization that adds complexity to the galactic landscape within the Stargate narrative.
