He was still only a System Lord, however, albeit a powerful one. Upon his death, the heirachy of other System Lords started squabbling for power. They're very feudal, and Apophis was an old enemy of Ra. As matters currently stand, a group of 7 goa'uld stand pre-eminent, but they're definitely petty and self-interested, hence Yu spoiling Imhotep's plan (I think). The 'goa'uld' is not a group, any more than the United Nations is a group. Perhaps even less so.And there are actually many goa'uld, you just don't see them on the show. They presumably act as artisans, officers and other functionaries. One notable exception is the assassin or ashrak, a powerful goa'uld assassin who is almost unstoppable.For lots of cool SG-1 info, I've found a useful page at <a href="http://trickster.org/arduinna/stargate/" target="_blank">http://trickster.org/arduinna/stargate/</a>. I can't think of anything this page won't answer.</blockquote>
