This article provides a more exhaustive list of the fictional technologies used by the Tok'ra race in the Stargate universe.
For a listing of their more prominent technologies see the main technology article.
The Tok'ra, as an offshoot of the Goa'uld, use much of the same technology. However, the Tok'ra have developed some technology of their own. The Tok'ra do not like to be called Goa'uld, for their mission is to overthrow the System Lords, hating their evil.

Crystal tunnels

The Tok'ra's key method of hiding their bases from the Goa'uld are by having them built out of special crystals underground. These tunnels grow the way the Tok'ra want them and can be quickly collapsed when the Goa'uld discover a base.

Force shield

A one-way shield, usually arranged to enclose a space, that holds matter inside but allows external objects to enter. Seen twice; one time in an attempt to capture a Kull Warrior, the second time to keep Khalek imprisoned while allowing shots to be fired into the cell.

Kull disruptor

See the entry under Tau'ri technology.

Ring transporter

See the main entry under Ancient Technology. Ring transporters were apparently invented by the Ancients and copied by the Goa'uld with little or no modification. The Tok'ra also produce ring transporters to gain access to their underground bases.

Symbiote poison

A poison deadly to nothing but Goa'uld symbiotes. Invented by the Tok'ra, Stargate Command meant to use it to kill every System Lord in the episodes "Summit" and "Last Stand". However, because the poison kills all symbiotes indiscriminately (Goa'uld, Tok'ra and the Prim'tahs within the Jaffa), the SGC has since decided not to use it as a weapon against the Goa'uld at large so as not to kill innocent Jaffa.

Re'ol derivative

A memory-altering substance, derived from the secretions of the Re'ol race. Used by Daniel Jackson to infiltrate a Goa'uld summit as Yu's Lo'tar.

Tretonin

A drug originally created by the Pangarans but further refined by the Tok'ra so it can be made without having to harvest symbiotes. It was originally harvested from the Tok'ra Queen as a miracle drug. The Pangarans used it to boost their immune systems but shortly discovered it wasn't the best solution, as it completely destroyed the user's natural immune system, rendering them dependent on tretonin to survive. However, the Tretonin as refined by the Tok'ra can be successfully used on the Jaffa so they don't need to have larval Goa'uld within them. The drug thus frees the rebel Jaffa from the last vestiges of their enslavement to the Goa'uld.

Za'tarc detector

An advanced lie detector used by the Tok'ra to detect enemy spies amongst their ranks. It has also been used for other means. It works by comparing the memories of the conscious mind to those of the subconscious. First seen in the episode "Divide and Conquer".
