The Asgard were a race of sentient humanoid beings who developed a very advanced technology. They encountered the Tau'ri and made an alliance with them. Yet, in 2006, because of their genetic deterioration, they eventually gave all their knowledge as legacy to the Tau'ri before commiting a mass suicide by destroying their home planet.
Overview
The Asgard are a humanoid race with a "Roswell"-type appearance. They don't reproduce and use the cloning technology to transfert the consciousness from the old body to a new one.

Behind the scenes
- In "Unending", Vala Mal Doran asks Daniel Jackson how they differenciate the Asgard as they all have the same look. He simply replies; "The voice". Michael Shanks was Thor's voice in the different Stargate SG-1 episodes.
