Each planet receives roughly two Jaffa battalions rather than one concentrated garrison. One protects the headquarters, high priest, and administrative machinery, while the other secures the Stargate that controls rapid access to the world. Keeping the sites and commands separate means one loyal unit is already positioned to oppose the other if part of the garrison defects. This feudal divide-and-rule measure accepts a contained local fight rather than risking the silent loss of an entire planet.

Split Jaffa garrisons and divide-and-rule security
Separate Jaffa battalions guard the planetary headquarters and Stargate so each can secure a vital site and check the other if a commander turns disloyal.
