Ok, please hear me out before you throw things. And blame Yellow Dingo for the idea.
Ok, given what we know about the stargate universe, and Golarion, the following thoughts came to me. We have seen non-human races, 'godlike' races, and inexplicable technology/magic in the SG universe, as well as psionics and future tech.
Azlanti - Ancient outpost
Aroden - First Ascended Ancient in Golarion.
Test of the Starstone - route to Ascention.
Irori - Self Ascended Ancient.
Mithral - Trinium
Abysium - Naqahdah or Naqahadria
Adamantine - Depleted Naqahdah
Djezet - Liquid Naqahdah
Wraith could be ghouls or humans with a tweak to the ravenous template.
Numeria - crashed Ancient/Asgardian/Earth/Whatever ship. I'd lean towards earth. The Delta Triangle could just be the Earth symbol.
Maybe that's how the elves escaped the first darkness. Elfgate = rings and/or Stargate.
It just occured to me, thumbing through my Stargate RPG, how it could be done. That and I've good advanced tech rules in that book. :-)
I now return you to your regularly scheduled threads
Hmmm. This intrigues me... :)

The tsochar from Lords of Madness (WotC's 3.5 aberration book) would be a good substitute for the Goa'uld. They're bigger than Stargate's Goa'uld, but equally nasty and good at taking over bodies.

*nods* I agree Bellona,
I'm just thinking there are some fun parallels to draw between the two worlds. Also would be a fun way to use Golarion in a Stargate game.
The back of the core book had ways to adapt Nyambe, and Seventh Sea, to the SG universe, was just extending it to Golarion I doubt I'd bring in the Go'uld though, they're too iconic.
The Wraith can be described using elven traits or ghoul traits pretty easily. If I wanted a Go'uld, we already have the intellect devourers. I'd use those just for meanness.

Elves are a good idea for the Wraith, but I think that ghouls are not as appropriate. The Wraith are more about draining life energy, and not actually eating up the body of a victim.
For the Wraith, I'd suggest instead using elves with the wight monster class as per the Libris Mortis. That way, you can even get someone being "infected" and slowly transforming level by level. Or one can use the wight template (Dragon 300, and possibly Savage Species) for a quick transformation.

Another comment ...
Using intellect devourers (CR 7, advancement by HD) as the Goa'uld would indeed be nasty, but the tsochar (CR 4, advancement by both HD and class levels) have the advantage of not needing the Psionics rules. So, I guess that it depends upon what one's comfortable with using. (While I have nothing against Psionics as a game concept, I've never bothered to read up on the rules for it.)
Plus the tsochar don't suffer from having the Evil subtype. And that also makes it easier to have the Tok'Ra.
Maybe I should also plug the silthilar (also from LoM, and designed by James Jacobs, I do believe). They have an interesting form and history, and they are, as far as I know, the only good aberrations in the official sources.
There was an issue of Dragon magazine that took the specific undead races and made them into templates. I can't remember the issue # though.

No, that's all good stuff.
The only reason I'll throw things is that you've just reminded me how MAD I was at Sony for yanking the SG1 license from Alderac with the Season 3 book finished, ready to be printed, and now never seen by the outside world.

Don't worry, after the nuclear War comes, Sony will not have monopolistic rights over Stargate anymore, because the Government won't be around to enforce them.

I have a copy of Stargate SG-1!!!
All you need to do is change the skills! It's that easy!
The Stargate would probably be located somewhere remote in the Inner Sea. Probably in the Elven Kingdoms. If Golarion is in the Milky Way at all, it could be in the Star Wars Universe -- and so far, we don't know if Star Wars has a network of Stargates. :D
Has no one mentioned the cyphergate in Riddleport yet? - looks like a big stargate to me.
I beleive the Cyphergate is a big scrying device. Though it would scare the snot out of the city if a gate that big started dialing.
Dialling?!? That thing? O_o
Size-wise that "gate" is closer to the super-gate used by the Ori than a regular stargate.
