I kept my face blank, as I overlooked the Minor System Lords under my thrall, if I recall their names correctly they are Vashmaur, Hoark, Valein and Kashir along with with whatever Surviving Jaffa they could scrounge together as they continue to tell me the same story with no inconsistencies.
As much as I would like to simply decry their stories as mad, I cannot, or at least I cannot take take it a little seriously as these four were known to upheld my peace for a long time it is this plus, the damage to their craft that makes it even more obvious, that their story isn't as Far Fetched as the other System Lords seem to think as they throw insults at my Minor Lords.
Eventually, I held up a hand and said, "I believe they are telling me the truth" . I could see the frustration in my fellow System Lords and Surprise in not just them but the Jaffa and Minor lords that they follow.
"Despite what most of you think, you cannot fake that kind of battle damage, nor would they just abandon their Throneworlds without a fight" I answered to the unasked question as I see it on some of their faces, as I look over some of the Jaffa as their battle damage was severe I frown as the armor may need replacing or, I shivered updating against this new foe.
I gestured for them to leave, allowing them some scrap of mercy, as I turned to my system lords and already they could tell I had a few decrees immediately that they wouldn't like. I smirked in my head, smart of them but, this needed to be done.
"Effective Immediately the Maa Kheru will remain in service due to their surprising effectiveness against these Creatures" I calmly spoke and before anyone could reply I continued, "In addition, The Weapons, Training and Miscellaneous of the Common Jaffa will be increased to handle these creatures wherever they're found" .
Already, I could see an uproar about to happen but I continued, "in addition" I said with a warning tone that if I was interrupted, the System lord that did so wouldn't like it thus, they quieted down and sat grumpily, this time I smirked and Continued "all Current and new Combat Craft need to be updated and any world lost incase they cannot be glassed to prevent these... Beasts from further spreading declared lost until a proper strikeforce prepared to destroy them... Am I clear in this" .
I see nods and, "Yes, My Supreme System Lord" from a few of them thus I turn to each of them, starting with my brother Apophis, "Brother I hear you have a new Death Glider Design that could theoretically go through the Chappa'ai Could it work?" I allow the shock to pass after all, nothing gets past me and nothing the others hide from me lasts for long.
"... Yes Brother but, I'll Need more-" "Resources granted as long as it works" he starts before I interrupted him with a glare and a warning before flickering to the others indicating that, I would be generous as long as you don't try to abuse it seeing this everyone nodded and I even see Apophis nod, before I turn to Nirrti Apophis replied, "I've also been working on a faster Ha'Tak Design that will make the Djet look like a Tel'Tak" I turn towards him before raising an Eyebrow before Nodding.
I then turned towards each System Lord in the Council and requested (Demanded) what they could do to aid our troops against this new threat with Cronos promising new Staff Weapons that are more Accurate, Nirrti Promising Stealth Technology to Elite Jaffa Warriors, Yu Promising a New Version of the Cheops that was desperately needed after I heard the Reports of how the Old Cheop did but I refused to phase them out, Heru'ur my heir promising a new version of the Al'Kesh, and others promising this and that for my favor.
After awhile I dismissed them until only me, Ba'al, Apophis and Heru'ur were the ones remaining in the meeting room Ba'al Practically asked the Question on everyone's minds in the meeting "are they that dangerous that we need to update our tactics, that I remind you Lord Ra, Haven't been updated in thousands of years" despite this, I shivered internally as we overlooked a captured image of a 'Zergling' as some of the Jaffa called it, and gave a single one lettered answer, "...Yes..." I could see that they were concerned at how I stared at the Image but I ignored them as I could practically feel fear in the core of my true self.

(P.O.V Carter Findley A.K.A The Overmind)
I overlooked my Territories as I remember the Battles against Hoark, Valein and Kashir thus, adding their planets into the swarm and increasing their potential with Valein his Jaffa was slightly Tougher but without a proper Fleet what was left got overwhelmed and only his Ha'Tak fled thus, he had to flee through the Stargate.
With Kashir, after sweeping past her orbitals with a few fleeing into a hyperspace window, I had to deal with Jaffa Guerrilla warfare for a few days which was slightly annoying and distracting but ultimately, allowed the Bitch to flee through the Stargate.
It was Hoark, that provided the ultimate Headache as I was forced to battle, his Orbitals for two days and even then he escaped halfway during the first day, without me knowing it the cheeky little git, frustrated I left nothing left of his planet to come back to consuming it all but like I did to Vashmaur's Human Slave Populations I slew the Adults and took the Young to the Island so that they could be 'reeducated' into serving the swarm.
I left Cerebrates and Broodmothers on each planet, I visited to create their own broods the Cerebrates would act as defensive broods, since once planted they couldn't move unless unrooted and I would have the Broodmothers act as reactionary or attacking forces so I could deal with my enemies I saw fit.
Overall, I had 58 Cerebrates and 197 Broodmothers, a pleasant number which would allow some diversity into the swarm and keep our enemies guessing at who the real leader of the swarm is and, during the Siege of the other minor system lords Abathur managed to gather some new Essence which was taking up his time but I let him be after every new Zerg or structure would add strength to the swarm in time.
As I continued musing, I suddenly found myself staring at the familiar two orbs that sent me to the Stargate universe and turned to see the flaming ball once more as they Spoke, "your doing good for yourself but, you're going to have a problem soon" I raise a nonexistent eyebrow to them and asked, "what kind of problem" while I couldn't see it I could practically see the grimace as they said "Yes as we speak Kerrigan is gathering a host of Protoss and Terrans to come slay you" I widen my Eye as I thought of the Previous Overmind's Servant and Nascent Xel'Naga and bit back a curse.
"Thankfully I can make it they arrive 4 years after the death of Ra" he said and I sigh however he quickly spoke, "I would also head to Pangara, thankfully their just a system away for your zerg because their about to begin their experiments on Egeria" before I was back on Tallourn and finally snarled and ordered my reconstituted Behemoths[1] to head to Pangara to rescue Egeria.
That's when Tella asked, "is something wrong father?" Thus I answer, "yes, a Goa'uld Queen I need alive is about to be tortured, thus I need the swarm to head there yesterday and rescue them" as I let Tella Stew on this I turn my attention to Abathur "Abathur! I want you to create a chamber that will allow a Goa'uld, especially a Queen to survive our environment without infesting them ""By. your. Will. Overmind." I heard Abathur's answer and got to work. I just hope the damage if we're too late isn't bad yet.

(Planet Pangara)
(P.O.V No one's)
In the Original Timeline, The Planet Pangara would be Visited by SG1 where the death of Egeria the Queen of the Tok'ra would be all but confirmed, in this timeline the Swarm got there first and attacked committing the same atrocities to the adult Pangarans, all the while kidnapping the young Pangarans to take to the Isles of Young on Tallourn that some of my Broodmothers have been calling it, as beside the first Island more Islands have been dedicated to the growth of young humans dedicated to the swarm.
Despite the fierce resistance from the Pangarans, they weren't as advanced in anything else but medicine leaving them with WWII era weaponry thus the swarm tore them apart and hunted anyone in hiding spots, along with Alpha Variants leading the charge against fortified positions so, when the swarm reached the Facility keeping Egeria, the Entire planet had been overrun and infested with the Zerg Hive Clusters popping up everywhere and the Zerg collecting anything and killing anything that wasn't Zerg for resources, and to Increase their Territory meanwhile Broodmothers and Cerebrates Eggs were awaiting to be hatched and help expand the swarm.
The Facility held on for several hours but, in the end it to fell to the ferocity of the Zerg and as they reached the chamber with Egeria the Queen herself was wondering what was going on, when a Alpha Variant Queen[2] walked in and freaked out the Tok'ra Queen despite her best attempts to struggle, the Zerg Queen picked her up and walk back out of the facility leaving the surviving Pangarans to their fate and entered an Overlord, Directing it to head to a Behemoth and Left Leaving a Purple world behind to return to it's master the Overmind.

(P.O.V Tok'ra Queen Egeria)
I felt weak being out of the pool of nutrients, that the Pangarans had placed me in to experiment on when, the strange creatures brought into the large one and, I felt the shift which felt strange but all I could do was cry out as once more, a strange ball shaped creature placed us within it and I felt us going down possibly onto another planet if I could guess by that shift.
As the ball landed, the strange creature exited with me still in its talons, and walked towards the largest organic structure or at least under it, as I saw a large eye looking over us a strange slug-like creature and what appeared to be a mutated human observing me as they, place me within a green pool, and as I didn't feel any different in the waters, despite the entire ground outside being completely purple I swam around while not contently but, at least quietly as I waited for what the creatures planned to do to me I could hear in my mind their words "Overmind. Goa'uld. Queen. Placed. In. Nutrient. Pool. Pool. Shall. Keep. Queen. Alive. Until. Overmind. Wills. It."
I couldn't help but shiver at the cold voice of the Slug creature's voice but it was the Eye's or perhaps the Overmind's Voice that threw me for a Loop "Do not worry Abathur... I have plans for Egeria, Plans that need her alive and Uninfested do I make myself clear?" "Yes. Overmind. Your. Will. Be. Done." Replied the Slug - Abathur though Now I'm worried.
What plans does this 'Overmind' have for me that needs me alive and ''Uninfested' in fact what even is an infested?
[New Stargate Timeline]
1950 - The Orbanians begin to experiment with NanoTechnology.
Carter Findley Is Reincarnated into the Stargate Universe as the Overmind, and attacks four separate minor system Lords under the control of Ra.
Before the Pangarans could begin their experiments on Egeria, The Zerg Swarm under Carter Findley Attacks the Pangaran Homeworld, and wipes the Pangarans out leaving only the young alive to be indoctrinated into the swarm.
The Ascended plane is affected by the slumbering subconscious of various Zerg Brood Leaders, and The Overmind turning many Ascended into cultists worshiping Carter Findley's New Form.
1952 - Multiple attacks against the system lords takes place by the zerg swarm, the zerg deemed a great threat by Ra, the system lords were grossly underprepared as 13 worlds belong to various minor system lords were consumed along with 21 worlds not currently connected via the gate network.
During the Battle for Tallen V, a planet in Pelops Domain the newest Ha'tak and Cheops were rolled out the new Ha'Tak was called the Ka-Class Ha'Tak[3], and not only was it stronger in both defensive and offensive weapons but, it was also much faster, and the Kheops which could last much longer then the Cheops, and much more militarized then the Cheops it also gave the goa'uld its first victory.
In case they were able to retake planets lost to the Zerg swarm, Nirrti created a Terraforming device that would transform a planet into a livable planet for both the Goa'uld and their servants.
1953 - Fighting became even tenser between the two factions as the Udajeet was retired permanently and the Sermerkhet became the mainstay along with a new Death Glider Variant the Taharqo-Class Death Glider[4] Created by Ba'al to serve in battle
During the siege of Halla II, III and IV three planets under the Control of Yu Ha'Taks under the Command of Sokar flanked the Zerg Fleet, and despite winning Both Sokar and Yu lost 22% of their combined fleets, Sokar was allowed to return to the system lords under the condition that he didn't attempt to usurp Ra's Control.
Despite the Addition of Sokar's Fleets brought, the Goa'uld lost an additional 17 Systems and 39 Systems outside the ring system they also had lost more minor Goa'uld System lords
In a Surprising Twist against the System Lords, the Tok'ra attacked a vital facility under a coalition of Minor System lords hoping to keep the Zerg swarm at bay allowing the Zerg to overwhelm the entire system to the Zerg swarm when System lords learned why the Tok'ra had sided with the Zerg after they had saved, healed and returned their queen Egeria.
1960 - A Combined system Lord attack pushes the zerg back, and allows the reconquering of several systems however they do not hold onto all the systems taken and instead the Zerg force them back nearly all the way to the border
Calamus creates new body armor that can withstand many of the zerg attack and combined with the armor that Sokar made and given to Aris Boch
1970 - Chappa'Nok'Kek[5] or Needle Threader comes online and gives the Zerg hell as they cannot use the Stargate thus combined surprised attacks from the rings gives them hell
The Tiy[6]-Class Al'Kesh comes online and is much stronger than the standard Al'kesh as it can drop multiple plasma bombs on enemy positions
In order to keep an increase of production Ba'al managed to create a primitive version of the Chappa'ai and is heralded for its creation
1973 - Moloc in a fit of insanity declares that only male jaffa born in his domain are allowed to live, which forces Ra to slay the insane Minor System lord in order to prevent infighting or having a Jaffa rebellion
1990 - to the Fear and horror of the Goa'uld the Zerg have conquered almost 13% of the known Galaxy with the Goa'uld having a good 68% belonging to the goa'uld, 2% belonging to the Aschen, 5% belonging to the Protected Planets of the Asgard another 5% belonging to the Hebridians, and 7% belonging to the Miscellaneous planets that weren't controlled by the Goa'uld.
1996 - First Contact with Earth
[1] Because the Overmind was given the essence of all zerg it would make sense that the Behemoth and Leviathan Strains were added as well
[2] Looks like a normal SC2 queen except it has four wings on it's back and 4 arms instead of 2
[3] Ka-Class Ha'Tak - is the same kind of Ha'Tak we see used in SG1 by apophis at the end of season 1
[4] Taharqo-Class Death Glider - an Advanced form of Death Glider these babies are basically for aces only and compaired by one airman "Are those things like F-16s!"
[5] The Name is from another story called XSGCOM it's really good and I would recommend it but like the last comparasion this would basically be the Goa'uld A-10 Warthog
[6]Tiy-Class Al'Kesh Bomber is much smaller than the standard Al'Kesh as it's main purpose is to be a bomber than a transport so these babies will basically be doing heavy bombing runs
