History
The Lucian Alliance was a criminal organisation that came to operate within the Milky Way galaxy. With the demise of the Goa'uld empire, a power vacuum was formed with a coalition of former smugglers and mercenaries banding together to take advantage of the situation to their benefit. This led to them to becoming a coherent group that was unique in the Milky Way Galaxy and one that was a particular threat even to the newly formed Free Jaffa Nation. (Episode: The Ties That Bind)
The Lucian Alliance appeared at first to be growing into a new enemy not only for Earth but also for the new Free Jaffa Nation; however, Teal'c convinced the Alliance to send three Ha'tak motherships for the defense of the galaxy against the Ori in the Battle of P3Y-229.
After their failed attempt to capture the Odyssey, which resulted in the death of Colonel Paul Emerson, Earth has declared war on the Alliance.
Sometime later, the Lucian Alliance came to regroup where they looked to plunder the secrets of the Ancients involving a wandering explorer ship named the Destiny. Through their spies, they came to learn that a Stargate led to this vessel and was being studied by the Tau'ri at their off-world facility called Icarus Base. The world possessed a naquadriah core that was used to power the Stargate with the Lucian Alliance staging an attack on the planet. The Stargate Command personnel on the world evacuated through the Stargate to the Destiny with the unstable naquadriah core detonating thus destroying the planet and the Lucian Alliance forces besieging it.

Overview
In appearance, the Lucian Alliance was an organization of humans from a number of sovereign planets who had taken control of the resources and technology of the Goa'uld. (SGU: Incursion, Part 1)
The Lucian Alliance is a powerful shadow organization whose members are smugglers and mercenaries. They formed the Alliance when the strength of the Goa'uld weakened, which left a large power vacuum in the galaxy. It is unknown when the Alliance was formed, but it possibly came together when Anubis was still very powerful. However, the Alliance became stronger after the Goa'uld System Lords were defeated by the Replicators. Their fleet is largely made up of Goa'uld ships, consisting of several Ha'tak motherships, Al'kesh, two small cruisers of a previously unseen design (the same ship Jarlath used in the Loop of Kon Garat), and a Death Glider defense force, in addition to Tel'tak cargo ships.
The members of the Alliance are not afraid of using military force to get what they want. Their trading partners must be known to them and they most times trade with partners from a loose list of alliances. Although they typically don't trade with strangers, if they get a good offer from an unknown person, they will not pass up the chance to trade.
Beneath their leader were a number of lieutenants or Seconds each of whom controlled a division that was part of the Lucian Alliance's territory. There were twenty such individuals that oversaw various operations such as smuggling, extortion, racketeering and trafficking. (SG1: Company of Thieves) It was said that the Alliance was made up of power hungry figures and as such the leadership of the organization was constantly changing. (SGU: Incursion, Part 1)
Violence was seen as a means of enforcing their dominion and for this purpose they controlled a sizable army and numerous motherships. (SGU: Incursion, Part 1) It was said that no one was allowed to defy the Lucian Alliance. (SG1: The Ties That Bind)
One form of income they received was a genetically engineered corn-like crop known as kassa that was grown on worlds and then sold where its addictive properties caused people to purchase more of it. Thus, the Alliance maintained worlds that had farms which grew the crops and then sold the kassa which was used to increase their profits. (SG1: Off The Grid)
They made use of Ha'tak vessels that were part of their fleets. (SG1: Off The Grid)
