Colonial Fleet Headquarters

Picon

Picon was a temperate ocean world in the Cyrannus star system and one of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. Known as "The Ocean Colony", it was an affluent, socially progressive world that hosted Colonial Fleet Headquarters after the Cylon War.

Colonial Fleet

The Colonial Fleet was the naval arm of the military of the United Colonies of Kobol, founded during the Cylon War to unite the forces of the Twelve Worlds. At its height it numbered some 120 battlestars, yet a single Cylon exploit reduced it to two ships in the opening minutes of the Fall.

Cylon

The Cylons were a race of sentient machines created as military robots by Graystone Industries on Caprica. Built from research into artificial consciousness, they rebelled against their human masters, fought a decades long war, and forty years later returned to annihilate humanity.

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.

Aerilon

Aerilon was a temperate agricultural world in the Cyrannus star system and one of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. Known as the "Food Basket of the Colonies", it was a rugged, working-class farming world and the birthplace of Gaius Baltar.

Aquaria

Aquaria was a cold, sparsely populated world in the Cyrannus star system and one of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. Known as "The Ice Colony", it grew from a research outpost into a frontier colony governed by direct democracy.
