[edit] Geography
Chulak orbits a binary star system, which gives the planet hot days and cool nights. The planet is a mountainous, heavily foliated world with vast coniferous forests.
[edit] Locations
[edit] City of Chulak
The capital city of Chulak has the same name as the planet. The city seems to be located on top of a hill. It is located several miles away from the Stargate. The city also has temples for Apophis.
[edit] Chulak's Stargate
Named the 'Chappa'ai' by the locals on the planet, the Chulak Stargate has been present for over 5000 years. Under the control of Apophis, the Stargate area was cleared of forest and was almost made into a shrine with strategically placed stones placed around the area.

[edit] History
[edit] Under Apophis' Rule
Chulak was discovered by SG-1 and SG-2 after Louis Ferretti caught glimpse of Chulak's Stargate address on Abydos. Both teams proceeded to the planet, but SG-1 was taken prisoner by Apophis. Sent to a jail, SG-1 and many Abydonians were almost killed until Teal'c defected and killed his other guards, helping SG-1 and the Abydonians to escape the planet to Earth. (SG1: "Children of the Gods")
[edit] After Apophis
Chulak was attacked by Apophis after he assumed control of Sokar's forces, thus the Jaffa of Chulak came to become strong supporters of the Jaffa Rebellion. Chulak was the first planet to be conquered by the Ori during their invasion of the Milky Way, most likely because Chulak was the first planet to denounce the Goa'uld, so the Ori would prove a point to the rest of the Jaffa by attacking the planet. (SG1: "Maternal Instinct", "Lost City, Part 2", "Reckoning, Part 1", "Flesh and Blood") With the defeat of the Ori it is unknown what has happened on Chulak now.
[edit] Alternate realities
- In an alternate reality Jack O'Neill sent a nuclear weapon to Chulak in hopes of halting the attack on Earth. (SG1: "There But for the Grace of God")
- In an alternate reality, Apophis was still ruling the planet. (SG1: "Moebius, Part 2")
- In another alternate reality, Chulak fell during an Ori crusade earlier than in our reality. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
