			'''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}}).

			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}}).
