Kull warriors

<span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>

Kull Warriors are genetically engineered soldiers, on the TV Series Stargate SG-1, created by Anubis for the purpose of fighting those who oppose him. They effectively replaced Jaffa and proved more efficient with unquestionable loyalty. Their home planet is Tartarus, where Anubis grew several thousand of them.

Origin

Kull Warriors are not human. They are grown from unknown biological materials. After the body matures in a matter of weeks or less, it is brought to life by the Ancient healing cube. They are then implanted with blank Goa'uld symboites. The symboites, produced by an unknown queen in Anubis' service, have no genetic memories and can be programmed to believe whatever Anubis desires.

Kull Warriors are stronger than average humans. Like all hosts they have improved strength and healing ability. Unlike the typical goa'uld however, their lack of genetic memories mean they do not possess the megalomaniacal tendencies and lust for power innate to goa'uld symbiotes. They are programmed to be merciless and unrelenting in their missions.

Flaws

Kull warriors have weak pulmonary systems as a consequence of their quick growth and advanced musculature. They require periodic treatment to prevent heart failure. The symbiote aids in the health of the warriors but even with the presence of the goa'uld symbiote, their lifespan is very limited. It is likely they depend on treatment with the Ancient Healing Device for continued life and health.

Armor

The Kull Warriors' Armor is what makes them formidable villains. It renders all projectile weapons, energy weapons, and even rockets useless. After examining armor captured from a dead Warrior, the SGC discovered the armor was in part composed of a very fine knit mesh that was similar to carbon fiber. It was thus vulnerable to a fine point Trinium dart which could penitrate the mesh. This allowed them to capture and study one of the warriors and discover its flaws and planet of origin.

The SGC had to devise a new weapon that didn't depend on explosives or the energy created by staff weapons. Samantha Carter and her father Jacob Carter created a weapon known as a Kull Disruptor based on the Ancient Healing Device discovered in South America. The weapon successfully penetrates the armor and neutralizes the effect of the device that initially gave the warriors life, returning them to their original lifeless state.

The Kull Warriors armor can be worn by regular humans. Given that any human wearing the armor would not suffer the same flaws as a Kull warrior, a human in this guise would essentially be impervious to any weapon in current use by the SGC or goa'uld including the Kull disruptor. Vala Mal Doran was the first human to be seen wearing Kull armor in the episode "Prometheus Unbound".
