    Earth Symbol Most important victory for the Tau'ri?

    What has been the most important, and decisive victory for the Tau'ri, of the following options:
    • Battle of Antarctica, of the Tau’ri-Goa’uld war? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Antarctica)
    • Battle of Dakara, of the Tau’ri-Goa’uld war? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Dakara)
    • Battle of Atlantis, of the Tau’ri-Wraith war? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Atlantis)
    • Battle of Asuras, of the Asuran-Tau'ri-Wraith war? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Asuras)
    • Battle of the ZPM powered Hive Ship, of the Tau’ri-Wraith war? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battl...ered_Hive_Ship)
    • Battle of Kallana, of the Great Enlightenment? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Kallana)
    • Battle in the Alteran Home Galaxy, of the Great Enlightenment? (http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Battl...an_Home_Galaxy)

    I vote for the Battle of Antarctica, because, not only did the Tau'ri victory in this battle save the people of Earth, it allowed for the further expansion of the Tau'ri into the Pegasus galaxy, which in turn led to knew technologies. On a smaller scale, it is one of the reason's for Jack O'Neill's promotion to General, which in turn led to further victories.

    The Battle of Dakara effectively ended almost 10 millennia of Goa'uld domination over the entire galaxy AND defeated an invader that would have eventually annihilated every civilization in it.

    And there is a similar argument for the Battle in the Alteran Home Galaxy. It quickly, and effectively eliminated the threat from an enemy that would have been all but impossible to defeat, had it not been for the Ark of Truth.

    The Battle of Antartica that was the best battle I have seen (I have only seen up to Avalon part 1 ) but dont you just love how Anubis's fleet being destroyed boom boom bang.

    True, but I still think the Battle of Dakara had slightly more pertience to the Tau'ri specifically, becuase Earth is in the galaxy that was most shaped by the battle.

    Lost City battle is probably the best from SG-1
    The Enemy at the Gate battle is the best from SGA
    The Dakara battle - we didn't beat the Goaul'd - the Replicators did
    We didn't beat Anubis - Oma did
    We didn't beat Adria - Morgan la Fay did

    It was actually the Jaffa insurrection that spelled the end of the Goa'uld domination over the Milky Way.

    The Lost City battle I think, but the battle in Dakara probably had the most significant long term impact (of SG1, haven't watched Atlantis yet).

    The Dakara battle for me. Yes the rep's were mostly responsible in that for taking out many of the Gou'ald, but WE were responsible for taking out the rest AND the reps.

    Probably the mosy important battle for the Tauri is very first Battle of Earth against Aphosis. We have seen that battle did not go well for other Earths, and it seems the SG-1 Earth was the most successful.

    The defeat of Aphosis sent shockwaves that would be felt for several years.

    The Battle of over Antarctica out of the list would be most important and decisive too. While it did not defeat Anubis, it did make him weaker in the sense he no longer had that containment cloak and so he had to burn through bodies. Not a big handicap.

    But regardless, the defeat of Anubis and his fleet prevented the destruction or enslavement of Earth, which I would say very important.

    On a side note, WE are not Tauri. We are humans of real Earth. We do not a possess a Stargate or F-302 or 303 or 304. Using the first person in the respect is wrong.

    I wouldn't consider Apophis's initial invasion force a battle. That was more of a guerilla operation on SG-1's part, albeit a very important operation.

    To be fair, the OP did say "Most important victory", so it doesn't necessarily have to be a battle.
    For instance, the destruction of Ra's ship in the original movie wasn't a battle but it was still a victory.

    And I'm going to go with Dakara too. While the Jaffa did most of the work with the Goa'uld, it was still after the incitement of rebellion and support from the Tau'ri, which should give them partial credit. Not to mention the replicator defeat.

    In a certain respect the death of Ra could be considered a important victory as well. It seems like Ra was incredibly powerful at the time, who had the most power of the System Lords. Perhaps if he lived, he would have taken a more direct action against Earth than any other System Lord. But that is just my opinion.

    Yep and it was the SG team that really won the battle (arguably Jackson is the keystone of victory here).

    Plus I can imagine Teal'c standing on a hill with his staff weapon raised up and shouting DAKARA! and it's really cool.

    Dakara all the way.
    They figured he was a lazy, time-wasting slacker. They were right.
