Chulak is a planet that is approximately 2,000 light years away from Earth. It is the true home of Teal'c. The planet was previously under the rule of Apophis. The Jaffa Rebellion began here, as the planet was the first to denounce the Goa'uld as false gods. Chulak later fell to the Ori.

Geography
Edit
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.
Locations
Edit
City of Chulak
Edit

Added by ImperiallesThe 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.
Chulak's Stargate
Edit

Added by LordqazNamed 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 around the area.

History
Edit
Under Apophis' Rule
Edit
Chulak was discovered by SG-1 and SG-2 after Major 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")
After Apophis
Edit
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. SG-1 and Bra'tac tried to defend the planet, but failed and were nearly killed. Only the sudden intervention of the Odyssey saved them. Furthemore, Vala Mal Doran was finally freed from her time among the Ori followers when the Odyssey beamed her out of the ship in which she was trapped on the planet's surface. (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. (Stargate: The Ark of Truth)
Alternate realities
Edit
- In an alternate reality visited by Daniel Jackson in 1998, Brigadier General Jack O'Neill sent a nuclear weapon to Chulak in the hope of halting the attack on Earth. Teal'c's wife Drey'auc and son Rya'c were among the casualties. (SG1: "There But for the Grace of God")
- In another alternate reality, Chulak fell during an Ori crusade in 2006, several months earlier than in our reality. (SG1: "Ripple Effect")
Alternate timelines
Edit
- In an alternate timeline accidentally created by SG-1, Apophis was still ruling the planet in 2005. (SG1: "Moebius, Part 2")
