[edit] History

They were part of an elite command force under the Goa'uld Ishkur. For years, they pillaged and plundered under his name. Driving fear into the hearts of all those that would oppose his rule. The further they ascended among the ranks, the more they were able to discern the truth. That he was not a god at all, but merely an impostor. Ishkur branded the now rebelling Sodans as traitors and ordered their deaths. They tried to fight, to show their brothers the faith, but the odds were too great, and they were forced to flee. They set out to find Kheb, hoping that their souls would find peace. But instead their search led them to the world they now reside on. (SG1: "Babylon")

In order to acquire symbiotes that could sustain them they raid Goa'uld strongholds for shipments of symbiotes that have yet to be implanted in any Jaffa. Such missions are rites of passage for their youngest warriors. (SG1: "Babylon")

Their belief has since then lead them to believe that the true gods are those that came before, the Ancients. Many of the Sodan, including the leader Haikon believes that the Ori could provide them with the necessary evidence of their gods' powers, even if they realize that the Ori are not the Ancients. (SG1: "Babylon")

Eventually, however, they realized that the Ori were little better than the Goa'uld. They renounced Origin, and they assisted the Tau'ri in an attempt to capture a Prior to stop the Ori plague. In retaliation, a Prior drove the Sodan Volnek mad, causing him to go on a rampage. The only one to survive was Lord Haikon. (SG1: "The Fourth Horseman, Part 2", "Arthur's Mantle")
