[edit] History
[edit] Rise to power
Chaka was rather young and not the Alpha male in his tribe of Unas, and was forced to prove his maturity to the others of his tribe before being accepted by them. In order to do so, he kidnapped Daniel Jackson on P3X-888, who was investigating ancient Goa'uld remains at the time. As he was being dragged through the woods, Jackson initially was extremely hostile to his captor. However, over time, the two were able to communicate. Later, Chaka even saved Jackson from being infested with a primitive Goa'uld symbiote.
However, when the two feast on the killed symbiote inside a cave, Jackson discovered drawings on the walls. Apparently, Chaka was a young Unas who intended to capture and kill a beast, in his case Daniel, as a rite of passage. After being marked by Chaka, Jackson was brought before the leader of the Unas tribe.
However, instead of killing Daniel, Chaka pleaded for Daniel's life, hoping that the human would be allowed to join his tribe. After the Alpha male, the leader of the tribe, refused, Chaka was forced to kill him, assisted by SG-1, who had arrived in search for Daniel. With the previous leader dead, Chaka eventually rose to power as the next Alpha male. When Daniel was subsequently asked to join Chaka's tribe, he had to decline. However, the two had since developed somewhat of a friendship. [1]
[edit] Chaka as mediatior
A year later, slave dealers from another world, who also possessed Goa'uld weapons, captured Chaka and abducted him. As their people used Unas as slaves, it was the dealers' intention to either sell Chaka or use him to breed even more slaves. However, as Jackson was monitoring the Unas tribe on P3X-888, he witnessed the capturing of his friend on a video. After convincing General Hammond of the validity of their mission, SG-1 was allowed to free Chaka.
After arriving on the planet Chaka had been abducted to, the team discovered about the use of Unas as slaves for hard labor. Some time later, the team was able to free Chaka, who chose to remain behind to fight for the freedom of his fellow Unas. [2] Eventually, Chaka's rebellion was able to obtain freedom for their race, and the Unas and humans brokered a stable, albeit fragile, peace.
When the SGC began mining naqahdah on P3X-403, a planet populated by thousands of aborigine Unas, and encroached on their holy ground, the SG teams found themselves being attacked by the vicious creatures. Hoping to avoid a bloodbath, as the American government was unwilling to mine naqahdah elsewhere, Daniel Jackson invited Chaka to negotiate a deal between the two parties.
Although being met with some hostility by several SGC personnel, Chaka was successful in convincing the Unas to allow the Tau'ri to mine the naqahdah. In addition, the Unas even offered to work in the mines themselves, so that the naqahdah could be used against their old oppressors. [3]
