Aquaria, the outermost planet in the Helios Delta system, follows a highly inclined orbit around its sun, establishing an arctic climate on this world.

The planet's summer lasts only a few pleasant weeks around the time of closest approach to Helios Delta. The planet surface is about entirely covered by vast, frigid oceans, punctuated with violently erupting volcanoes breaking through the sea surface. Only one land mass, named Kyros, is large enough to sustain human habitation. Volcanoes occupy each end of this crescent-shaped continent, which consist mostly of volcanic tephra covered in moss and dotted by exotic native plantlife.

Most people live in Heim, a town at the centre of the island facing what would be the harbor if the seas weren't so frigid. Only a few people live outside the town, tending the infrastructure needed for survival, like windmills, hydroponics, and solar panels.

Due to the lack of wood, most structures are made of tin or stone. Ancient Name : Cancer. Canceron is the most populous planet in the twelve worlds. It is located in the Helios Delta system, sharing its orbit with two other planets, one of them being Aerilon. The planet was well known for its beaches and had at least one large coastal metropolis TRS : " The Plan ". The capital was Hades.

Prior to the First Cylon War , Canceron was a very overpopulated and poor colony. Canceron's major cities such as Hades and Mangala were known to have large slums. Its large population earned Canceron the nickname "The Largest Democracy" within the colonies, though some believed the government was nothing more than a corrupt Oligarchy.

During the Cylon attack , Canceron is hit with at least three nuclear devices. One of the passenger liners within the fleet , Pyxis , is one of the last ships that escapes this world when the attack began. Ancient Name : Capricorn. Caprica was a lush blue-green planet, covered by large oceans and continents.

It shares its orbit with Gemenon around a common barycenter, and can often be seen in the skies above the Caprican landscape. Depending on its orbit, the Caprican night can almost be negated by intense planetshine from Gemenon, although not as bright as the Caprican sun, there is enough light reflected back to effectively turn night into day TRS : You Can't Go Home Again , Litmus. Of curious note, Caprica features landmasses similar to a world the Colonials would eventually settle and come to call Earth.

Caprica was regarded as the center of Colonial civilization, even long before the First Cylon War. Graystone Industries was one of the Colonies' most influential technology developers and had a hand in creating the very first Cylons.

After the war, the planet was once again the seat of politics, culture, art, science, learning and even the Colonial government. During the Cylon attack , Caprica and it's surrounding airspace, played host to numerous skirmishes, one of which would eventually determine the outcome of the war. Caprica herself, comes under heavy attack from Cylon forces right from the start.

With numerous basestars jumping directly into orbit, they are quickly able to gain the upper hand. At least four battlestars , including the Yashuman and Valkyrie , are quickly dispatched, and numerous targets, including the once proud Caprica City, are annihilated from orbit by nuclear weapons TRS : " Miniseries ", " The Plan ". This gives them time to gather and flee the area, picking up other survivors along the way.

Eventually the fleet amasses over ships of all kinds, both civilian and homeless military support craft. However, only 75 FTL capable ships are able to flee Caprican airspace, leaving the sub-lights, and their passengers, at the hands of the Cylons. At the time of the attack, Galactica was positioned 3 hours away, and was not able to partake in the defense of its home planet. It wasn't long, however, before the Cylons located its position, and attempted to take it out.

After being struck by a nuclear warhead, suffering major damage, and not having anything to shoot with, but still in one piece, Galactica had no choice but to retreat to the relative safety of the gas giant, Ragnar TRS : " Miniseries " , leaving Caprica, and the remaining survivors, completely defenseless and on their own.

After the space-faring Colonials flee, Caprica is occupied by Cylon forces , attempting to undo the damage they've done, and colonize the planet themselves. They often clash with human survivors within the Colonies, and fight on this world for several weeks.

The overall Caprican survivor population, possibly significantly greater, is unknown see analysis here. Ancient Name : Gemini. Capital : Oranu [13]. Gemenon was the first world colonized by the humans of Kobol. It shares its orbit around Helios Alpha with Caprica, completing an rotation once every Its status as a twin planet gives it its name [14]. Its climate can vary wildly, featuring frozen plateaus, and searing deserts, which can make life difficult for its inhabitants.

It was one of the poorer colonies and its people, the Gemenese, were known for their religious fundamentalism TRS : " Scattered ", " Dirty Hands ".

Gemenon's second-largest city, Illumini, was built around a large Pantheon complex, composed of buildings intended to worship and celebrate every deity in the Sacred Scrolls.

Most of the population of Gemenon was apparently very strongly opposed to the federal laws legalizing abortion TRS : " The Captain's Hand ". During the Cylon attack , Gemenon comes under heavy assault by Cylon air and ground forces, completely obliterating one city with a high-yield nuclear device, and causing extensive damage to another with conventional means.

The large and devoted Gemenese population continues to be an important political factor within the fugitive fleet TRS : " The Captain's Hand ".

Ancient Name : Leo. The planet itself has no axial tilt, which supports a mild and predictable climate. It was a major hub for both education and industry, and despite Colonial unification, was able to maintain its own language and culture. During the final Cylon attack , Leonis is struck with at least one, low-yield nuclear device, that was able to stun its residents and disable any means of escape.

Those who survived the blast, are then seen being systematically eliminated by both ground and air forces TRS : " The Plan ". It is unknown if any are collected and used in the Four's various farms. Ancient Name : Libra. The planet had no official capital. A major city on Libran was called Themis which had a large, modern pyramid arena built sometime before the First Cylon War.

The inhabitants of Kobol were organized into Twelve Tribes. In time, the humans of Kobol created their own sentient artificial life - organic Cylons known as skinjobs.

These Cylons become known as the Thirteenth Tribe. In contrast to their polytheist creators, the Cylon tribe worshipped a singular god. Battlestar Galactica: Sometimes a Great Notion. A millennium later, the Twelve Tribes left Kobol after a cataclysmic event, the nature of which is now unknown.

They traveled two-thousand light years to the Cyrannus Star System and colonized twelve planets. Prior to the exodus, humans lived on Kobol in peace with the Lords of Kobol.
