The following article refers to the sci-fi television show, Stargate SG-1.
The System Lords are a group of major Goa'uld powers. For thousands of years, Ra was the predominant system lord, until he was killed in the movie Stargate. They rarely trust each other, and very frequently battle amongst themselves.
The Tok'ra usually try to keep the system lords balanced so that no single system lord can completely overpower the others.
Apophis became dominant after Ra was defeated; Sokar after Apophis, Apophis again, then Anubis, then Ba'al then Anubis again.
At various times the Goa'uld Amateratsu, Amonet, Anubis, Apophis, Aries, Ba'al, Bastet, Camulus, Cronos, Hathor, Heru-ur, Isis, Kali, Korel, Marduk, Morrigan, Nirrti, Olukun, Osiris, Ra, Seth, Sokar, Svarog and Yu have been system lords.
Current System Lords are Amateratsu, Anubis, Ba'al, Kali, Morrigan and Svarog.
Amonet, Apophis, Aries, Bastet, Camulus, Cronos, Hathor, Heru-ur, Isis, Korel, Marduk, Nirrti, Olukun, Ra, Seth, Sokar and Yu are dead as of season eight. (Jack O'Neill: "Well, at least somebody's been keeping score!") Camulus willingly surrendered and was a prisoner at the SGC, later sacrificed himself to kill Ba'al but in the end Ba'al survived. Osiris, a recurring villain for years, was forcibly captured and removed from his host in Season 7, and although his host was later seen alive it is unknown if Osiris was killed or kept alive for experimentation. Morrigan Apitchulated her forces but remains a System Lord.
