Before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the city boasted a large spaceport and a military base. One of the tallest structures in Delphi was the [[Telamont Building]]. Another major landmark was the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]]; among the items at the museum was the [[Arrow of Apollo]], an artifact that held clues to the general whereabouts of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], home of the legendary [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] {{TRS|Colonial Day|Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I}}. | Delphi was encircled by a rolling temperate rain forest and was located fairly close to a mountain range.
