The reason for this is to clean up the Special:Wantedpages, thus making our lives easier behind the scenes.
So, what links lead here?
There are too many to bother wasting our time listing. So here's a list of pages that link here.
Re-imagined Universe
In the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, the twelve colonies were originally located on a single world - Kobol (early draft of the Mini-Series script). However, this was later revised to twelve separate worlds, in keeping with the original concept.
It is unclear whether all twelve colonies are orbiting a single star or not, or what the name of this star might be. However, the 2003 Video Game proposed the home system for the twelve colonies is called Cyrannus. This has yet to be accepted as canon in the new television series.
Within the re-imagined series, the twelve colonies are:
- Aerelon
- Troy - mining colony
- Aquaria
- Canceron
- Caprica - This is the only colony that viewers have actually seen in the mini-series or regular series
- Caprica City - Colonial capital
- Delphi
- Gemenon
- Leonon
- Libron
- Picon
- Sagittaron
- Scorpion
- Tauron
- Virgon
Their names are references to the Greek Zodiac. See the Zodiac article on Wikipedia.
