Celestra

Cylon War

The Cylon War, also called the First Cylon War, was a twelve year interstellar conflict between the Cylons and the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. It began when the Cylons rose against their human creators and ended in a sudden Armistice that held for over forty years.

Cyrannus star system

The Cyrannus star system was a double binary of four stars, Helios Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, that contained all Twelve Colonies of Kobol. Settled by the Kobol refugees some two thousand years before the Fall, it was the cradle of colonial civilization.

Fall of the Twelve Colonies

The Fall of the Twelve Colonies, also called the Second Cylon War, was a single-day Cylon campaign of total annihilation against Colonial space. It wiped out almost the entire human population of over twenty nine billion and left barely fifty thousand survivors in a fleeing refugee fleet.

FTL drive

The FTL drive was the propulsion system that let human and Cylon ships travel faster than light by spooling up and jumping instantaneously between points in space. Demanding precise calculation, the technology was the lifeline that kept the fleeing Colonial fleet ahead of its pursuers.

Adrasteia

Adrasteia was a civilian ship that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies as part of the ragtag fleet. It carried roughly 765 crew and passengers and survived into deep space about a year after the Fall.

Adriatic

Adriatic was a decommissioned Defender-class warship that escaped the Fall of the Twelve Colonies with the Fleet. One of the few armed civilian vessels, it was destroyed during the journey to the Algae planet roughly two years after the Fall.
