The Tok'ra are a faction of the Goa'uld, a race of parasitic aliens in the Stargate universe. Unlike the Goa'uld, the Tok'ra reject the idea of enslaving hosts and instead seek symbiotic relationships. They work to oppose the oppressive rule of the Goa'uld and often collaborate with the Tau'ri, or humans from Earth, to combat their common enemies. The Tok'ra are known for their advanced technology and intelligence, often using their skills to gather information and conduct espionage against the Goa'uld. They have a distinct culture that values freedom and cooperation, and their members often share a deep bond with their hosts, enhancing their abilities and knowledge.
