The Asgard were a race of sentient humanoid beings who developped a very advanced technology. They encountered the Tau'ri and made an alliance with them. Yet, in 2006, because of their genetic deterioration, they gave all their knowledge 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.
