[edit] Background
Ne'tu was once a prosperous, industrialized world. After Sokar conquered Delmak and chose it as his homeworld however, he chose its moon Ne'tu to serve as his own personal Hell on which to exile his foes, as he preferred to watch them suffer rather than to kill them. In order to transform Ne'tu into Hell, he fired upon it with his ships to increase volcanic activity and expose the molten core, and filled the atmosphere with barely breathable toxins. The denizens of Ne'tu were sent to the planet via descent pods launched from ships. The only way off the moon was the single set of Ring Transporters, which go directly to Sokar's palace on Delmak.
Sokar's appointed ruler of Ne'tu was the Goa'uld Bynarr, who was allowed a single hand device and a Jaffa staff weapon for his First Prime. Although these were the only energy weapons on the planet, many prisoners built primitive weapons to arm themselves. Bynarr often ringed up to Sokar's palace to tell him stories about how the prisoners were suffering.
It was said that no one ever escaped from Ne'tu, except the Tok'ra Jolinar of Malkshur. She managed to do this by seducing Bynarr, and when he was sleeping, she took the activator for the Rings from him. She then fled to Delmak, where she stole a transport ship. Because of this Sokar took Bynarr's left eye away, leaving him badly scarred and thirsting for revenge on Jolinar. [1]
[edit] Current Times
After Apophis was conquered by Sokar, the former System Lord was tortured and killed several times, only to be revived again by Sarcophagus. Eventually, Apophis pledged his allegiance to Sokar, and was allowed to serve as first prime to Bynarr, lord of Ne'tu. However, Apophis secretly plotted to kill Sokar, and take his place to again rise to power.
After Selmak was imprisoned by Sokar on Ne'tu, SG-1 was sent on a rescue message. However, they were soon discovered and tortured by Bynarr. During this interrogation, Apophis, who was known as Nao'nak on Ne'tu, killed Bynarr. It was his plan to extract valuable information from SG-1 which he could present to Sokar, whom he would then kill. However, Apophis' assassination attempt failed, and he was forced to hide on Delmak.
Eventually, Ne'tu was destroyed by a Tok'ra weapon in order to kill Sokar, who was in orbit in his Ha'tak at the time. The death of Sokar allowed for Apophis to rise to power again, taking over Sokar's forces. [2]
