Minister is the highest ranking government position in the Caledonian Federation on the planet Tegalus. When SG-1 visited the first time the current Minister, Treydan, was responsible for launching Caledonian missiles against the Rand Protectorate after Soren took control of the government. A year later Chaska had taken over as Minister and tried to negotiate with Rand but failed and Caledonia was destroyed. (SG1: "Icon", "Ethon")
