The Twelve Colonies of Kobol are twelve distinct worlds, located in a remote part of the Galaxy. For 2,000 years they were home to the descendants of humans participating in the exodus of Kobol. For most of the two millennia that these worlds were inhabited, the Twelve Colonies consisted of multiple sovereign states, but during the final fifty-two years leading up to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, all twelve comprised a single state known as the United Colonies of Kobol.

After the settlement, the colonies slowly began to prosper and eventually gave birth to a race of cybernetic lifeforms, known as Cylons. Only a few years after their creation, the Cylons raged a devastating war on their creators' home planets, which ultimately led to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Wasted and in ruins, the once prosperous homeworlds of humanity were finally abandoned by both humans and Cylons.


There is a very great amount of detail on the 12 Colonies. So much so that instead of writing a summary of each I'm going to cut and paste a link to a page with a great deal of information. Astronomical information isn't as important as the cultural details of each colony so feel free to skip to the colonies if so inclined. Bear in mind that your choice of home colony will dictate how people view you, some more than others. It's almost universal that people from Sagittaron are disliked.
