- "The Reetou are a pretty peaceful race. The Goa'uld wiped most of them out just because they were a possible threat."
- —Jacob Carter
The Reetou, also spelled Re'tu, are an insect-like species who are 180 degrees outside of the human visibility spectrum, rendering them completely invisible to the un-aided eye. They are a largely peaceful race from the planet Reetalia. When the Goa'uld discovered them, they feared the potential threat that an invisible species could pose. They devastated Reetalia, killing most of the Reetou, but a number survived. After the devastation, the Reetou split into two camps: those loyal to the Reetou Central Authority, who believed that they should fight the Goa'uld in force, and the Reetou Rebels, those who believed that the Goa'uld should be battled with "attrition"—wiping out all potential hosts.
