[[File:BSG-FOTG - | [[File:BSG-FOTG - Iblis' Planet.png|thumb|{{alt|Viper|TOS}}s approach the unnamed planet for the first time ({{comics|vol3|1}}).]] | ||
'''Iblis' planet'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> is the world where {{alt|Iblis}} and his followers had been first exiled, following their being cast out by the [[Seraphs]] untold thousands of yahrens prior. | |||
A [[black hole]] singularity of Iblis' creation bridges the Colonial's known universe and a separate universe where this planet resides, trapping many hapless denizens for an untold period of time. Surrounding the planet are derelict ships in a thickly-ringed graveyard, its survivors making landfall on the planet only to be hunted down by the [[Meclons]]—former {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} who were also inexorably drawn into the singularity ({{comics|vol3|1}} — {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}). | |||
Sometime following {{alt|Baltar|TOS}}'s release by {{alt|Adama|TOS}} after the [[Battle at Galaxy's Edge]], Baltar finds himself whisked away from his exile and stranded upon this planet on the false promise of freedom ({{comics|vol3|2}}) and assumes a leadership role over the shipwrecked survivors, terming them his "congregation" ({{comics|vol3|5}}). | |||
[[File:BSG-FOTG - Impact Crater.png|thumb|{{alt|Sheba}} stands over a precipice, overlooking a massive large impact crater caused by a ship far larger than any known to both Cylons and humans ({{comics|vol3|1}}).]] | |||
This congregation is fodder for [[Meclons]], who attack and abduct its members for "integration" into the Meclon Empire ({{comics|vol3|2}} & {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}). However, the planet possesses a secret—another husk of a ship that bears the skeletons of Iblis' former pig-faced followers—in a cavern where even the Meclons do not enter, thus making it a sanctuary for the congregation ({{comics|vol3|2}}). | |||
Following a battle that destroys the {{alt|Ship of Lights}}—the act itself tearing a hole back into the primary universe—the [[Seraphs]] rescue the congregation and transport them to the Fleet. The planet left abandoned by the Fleet and {{alt|Lucifer}}'s Cylons who have made good their escape, Iblis returns to the planet to resurrect his original followers as Meclons, swearing vengeance against ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' and those who have shunned him ({{comics|vol3|5}}). | |||
== Notes == | == Notes == | ||
* The | * The planet shares many similarities with the [[red planet]] that [[War of the Gods|Iblis had been discovered upon]] previously, including wreckage of a large ship containing his long-dead followers. | ||
* Given Iblis' powers, it is entirely possible that Iblis' planet and the red planet previously encountered are one-and-the-same, displaced both in space and time, but that link is never definitively confirmed in {{comics|folly||this comic book series}}. | |||
