'''Carillon''' is the dimly lit home planet of the [[Ovion|Ovions]]. | |||
[[ | == Relevance == | ||
Carillon has rich [[tylium]] deposits, which the Ovions had hoped to trade to the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] in exchange for independence. An earlier expedition overseen by [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]] noted that Carillon had nothing of note, although these reports were later proven false by Commander [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]]. | |||
A [[Chancery|resort]] on the surface of the planet is used by the inhabitants as a lure to kidnap people for the purpose of consuming them ([[Saga of a Star World]]). | |||
After the destruction of the Colonies Carillon becomes (despite of its barren nature) the first vanishing point for the view human survivors and the battlestar Galactica. | |||
== End of Carillon == | |||
Very soon after [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] set fire to the tylium mines, the tylium ends up leading to the destruction of the whole planet of Carillon. The explosion of the planet also destroys a [[Basestar (TOS)|Cylon basestar]] along with the [[Imperious Leader]] that is aboard ([[Saga of a Star World]]). | |||

The fire was subsequently extinguished, forcing a rebuild of the Carillon sets while preserving the original ''Phantom'' sets on stage, for those older ''Phantom'' sets were considered to be "the jewel."<ref name="galtv"/> | ||
