***Thanks Merv, and yeah I knew it was someone probably from inside this wiki, I was just pointing out to this user. A very cool theory btw, I myself have been curious about their galactic location. My decision for Cylon space is based on that we know the colonials basically started running in the opposite direction from it, so I basically circled all the possible "opposite" locations instead of just pinpoing it. But it's all a guss in the end, and that's where the fun is ;) --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 13:40 26 June 2006 (CDT) | ***Thanks Merv, and yeah I knew it was someone probably from inside this wiki, I was just pointing out to this user.

****Nice theory, great graphic. Seems very plausible to me. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 13:47, 26 June 2006 (CDT) | ****Nice theory, great graphic. Seems very plausible to me. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 13:47, 26 June 2006 (CDT) | ||
I like this. I had no idea people that zealous were out there to actually calculate this stuff! By the way, I notice that they didn't include Kobol. Did the creators of this just assume that the viewer would instinctively put Kobol between the colonies and Earth or was it just not worth it? Anyway, great graphic and greater theroy. Thanks! --[[User:Homeworld616|Homeworld616]] 15:07, 26 June 2006 (CDT) | |||

Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!
Welcome to the Wiki, username. Feel free to tell us about yourself on your user page.

Just to help get you started off on the right foot, marking edits "minor" are for spelling corrections, typos, etc. Anything that doesn't add content or changes "meaning". --FrankieG 14:32, 25 June 2006 (CDT)
Is it Homeworld 616, because the main Marvel Comics universe (within the Marvel multiverse) is "Earth-616"?--The Merovingian (C - E) 17:47, 25 June 2006 (CDT)
Two users on my Battlestar Wiki talk page. That's more than I have on Wikipedia! I left the reply to this on your user talk page, Merovingian. --Homeworld616 09:18, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

Twelve Colonies Galactic Location
Hey, I suppose you might've known, but there's actually a little thing on wikipedia about the actual Galactic Location of the Twelve Colonies, I dunno if you might know something about this. It was calculated using the Lagoon Nebula:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagoon_Nebula
And here is a picture I posted to serve as what might be a "map" using that info:

Just thought you might find it interesting, or that you might've done it since you are a lot into this topic, which is quite interesting ;) --Sauron18 13:06 26 June 2006 (CDT)
- Just to bring it to everyone's attention: people believe Wikipedia when it's faceless...but *I wrote that article on wikipedia*. And I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. (click on that user: "130.64.153.83"-->That's my school IP address (different during the summer), check my user history and you'll notice my extensive updates to LOTR and the other Battlestar Galactica junk on Wikipedia. Yeah I figured that Cygnus arm stuff out a while ago but never got around to finding a good spot to put it in here: but just so you know, it's not an "expert" that thought that theory up, I did, and I could be wrong. --The Merovingian (C - E) 13:15, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
- And might I say, that is an excellent map of my crackpot theory, Sauron :) but yeah, I mean think about it: in the Tomb of Athena, they're seeing what an observer on Earth would see, but the Lagoon Nebula as seen from Earth is *recognizable* to them: if they were from the other side of the Galaxy, the nebula would look different. This means that the 12 Colonies have to be "behind" Earth, when viewing the Lagoon Nebula which is on the exact opposite side, for the shape to look the same. So make a straight line from the Lagoon Nebula to Earth and keep going...you get the Cygnus arm. Mind you, Cylon space isn't necessarily even further rimwards than the 12 Colonies, but it's probably right next to the 12 Colonies anyway. --The Merovingian (C - E) 13:19, 26 June 2006 (CDT)
