Jaffa are a genetically engineered offshoot of Humanity created by the Goa'uld to serve as warriors, vehicle crews, and incubators for their young, which they store in a pouch in their lower torso.

Until recently, the overwhelming majority of the Jaffa worshiped the Goa'uld as gods, a scenario that only changed due to the efforts of Teal'c and his Master, Bra'tac.
