The Council of the Twelve is the governing body of the Fleet. Comprised of survivors from the Twelve Colonies, the Council is responsible for making key decisions regarding the future of the human race.
The Council frequently clashes with Commander Adama over the direction of the Fleet. Against Adama's stern warnings, the Council votes 11-to-1 to end the quest for Earth and establish a permanent settlement on the planet Domia (Comics: No Place Like Home).[1] This decision leads to disaster when the colonists are attacked by hostile rock creatures. During the chaotic evacuation, Sire Obob seizes control of a shuttle's weapons and destroys the rock faces that are tie to the creatures, seriously wounding people in the process and destroying the encampment (Comics: Fire in the Sky).[2]
The Council also shows a willingness to embrace controversial science, approving the continuation of Dr. Ravashol's cloning experiments, which becomes known as the "Perfect Human Project" (Comics: Search for Sanctuary, Part 1).[3] Internal politics and ambition are rife within the Council, with Sire Obob actively plotting to remove Adama from command (Comics: Hades Hath No Fury).[4]
