Lasat
|
Lasat is a mine refinery factory worker from the planet Tholus. He leads a rebellion and protest against unfair, unsafe working and living conditions for factory and mine workers. He is an idealist, hoping that negotiations, albeit starting from a forced and violent place, will lead to change.
He has a son. HistoryobsessionalLasat is a factory worker from the Miners' Guild.
In 2006 CE, Lasat leads thirty-odd workers in an attempted coup: they derail a train and take several visiting Tau'ri (Sheppard's team, Brittany's team) hostage. They also kidnap Minister Dorrell from the Tholusian Government. In this, Dorrell, several Tholusian guards, and Sergeant Bergqvist are killed. Chancellor Ferna refuses to negotiate in any way and sends soldiers to capture, or kill, the "rebellious" workers, claiming they are a rogue militia. When the workers realize the danger they are in, they split into two factions, one led by Lasat and one by Radel. This leads to Radel shooting Lasat, fatally injuring him. Era is on Lasat's side, and wishes for no more violence. In the end, Era lets the surviving Tau'ri go, directing them to flee through a tunnel out of harm's way before the soldiers arrive. |
