Lucian Alliance

The Lucian Alliance is a fictional interstellar group for organized crime in the science fiction series Stargate SG-1. It first appeared in Season 8 but is likely to become a major threat in the galaxy in Season 10.

Organization
The Lucian Alliance is a powerful shadow organization whose members are smugglers and mercenaries. They formed the Alliance when the strength of the Goa'uld weakened, which left a large power vacuum in the galaxy. It is unknown when the Alliance was formed but it possibly came together when Anubis was still very powerful. However the Alliance became stronger after the Goa'uld System Lords were defeated by the Replicators. Their fleet is largely made up of Goa'uld ships, consisting of several Ha'tak motherships, at least nine Al'kesh, two small cruisers of a previously unseen design, and a death glider defense force, in addition to Tel'tak cargo ships.

The members of the Alliance are not afraid of using military force to get what they want. Their trading partners must be known to them and they most times trade with partners from a loose list of alliances. Although they typically don't trade with strangers, if they get a good offer from an unknown person, they will not pass up the chance to trade.

The Lucian Alliance starts to grow into a new enemy not only for Earth but also for the new Free Jaffa Nation.

Contacts
One of their trade partners was Vala Mal Doran, who planned on giving the Alliance a large ship in exchange for weapons-grade naquadah. For this purpose she hijacked the Earth ship Prometheus but she was stopped by Daniel Jackson. After this incident she was able to flee but because she failed to deliver the ship she now is on bad terms with the Alliance, who then placed her and Jackson on a wanted list. ("Prometheus Unbound")

Nearly one year later two members of the Lucian Alliance named Tenat and Jup try to capture both Vala and Jackson but their plan is thwarted by SG-1. ("The Ties That Bind")

They reappeared in "Off the Grid" growing a corn-like crop called kassa, which contains a highly addictive drug and has been distributed across the galaxy. In the episode Camelot they would come to the aid of SG-1 and it's allies thanks to Teal'c
