The Jaffa are a fictional alien race, in the television series Stargate SG-1. They are a mutation of humanity, descended from genetically modified people from Earth who were kidnapped by the Goa'uld using the Stargate during antiquity. They were modified to serve as warriors and incubators for larval Goa'uld.

Jaffa Teal'c with Staff Weapon

A weapon of Goa'uld design. Several feet in length, its head divides into four parts when activated, releasing powerful bolts of plasma energy. The weapon is powered by a small, green container of liquid naquadah. It is generally considered to be a weapon of terror, since its ability to accurately target a moving object, let alone a motionless one, is less reliable than some human weapons that have pin-point accuracy.

Here we see a group of Jaffa Warriors with staff weapons. Notice the face of the closest one... he looks neither Egyptian or Nubian. They have very broad shoulders and are muscular, a depiction rarely seen in Egytian reliefs and they have a high forhead.
