- Origin
- Pangar / Tok'ra
- Effect
- Replaces the Jaffa symbiote
- Stakes
- Jaffa freedom
The drug that frees the Jaffa from their dependence on a symbiote by replacing it. Tretonin is the promise of total freedom, wrung from a dark secret.
Overview
The Jaffa carry a Goa'uld symbiote that replaces their immune system: without it, they die. It's the invisible chain binding them to their masters. Tretonin changes everything: this treatment replaces the symbiote, making the Jaffa independent.
A giant leap toward their emancipation.
History
But tretonin first hides a shameful secret: its original version, developed by the people of Pangar, was made by breeding Goa'uld symbiotes in captivity, at the cost of innocent lives.
Once improved, it becomes an immense hope for the Free Jaffa Nation. Tretonin embodies the hard road to freedom: even the finest promises sometimes have a troubled past to own up to.
