Editing Earth

''Mostly harmless''

== In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagining]] ==

Earth is the alleged location of the [[13th Colony]], destination of the 13th tribe of [[Kobol]], as related in the [[Sacred Scrolls]]. 

[[Adama, William|Commander Adama]] uses the legend of Earth to give his people hope following the devastating [[Cylon attack]] on the Twelve Colonies, claiming that it is no myth and that its location was a closely-guarded secret among the senior military leaders - himself included. 

While she is initially sceptical - going so far as to rebuke Adama for his lies to his crew, [[Roslin, Laura|Laura Roslin]] nevertheless becomes the most fervent believer in Earth. Her transition is apparently due to her use of [[Chamalla]] to treat her cancer, a side-effect of the treatment seeming to be visions. For Roslin, these begin with a dream about [[Conoy, Leoben|Leoben Conoy]] before he is discovered hiding in the fleet ([[Flesh and Bone]]) - and who first gives them a clue that they will find Earth; and they culminate with visions of the [[Tomb of Athena]] on [[Kobol]] and the [[Arrow of Apollo]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]), both of which set her at odds with Adama, and result in her arrest and removal from office on Adama's orders ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]).

In the [[Sacred Scrolls]] Earth is said to be were the planet where the 13th tribe could look into the sky and see their 12 brothers; constellations of stars in the shapes symbolizing the other 12 tribes (the constellation of Capricorn for Caprica).  ([[Home, Part II]]).

== In the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] ==

Earth is a [[13th Colony]]; its settlers departing from [[Kobol]] after a social and environmental cataclysm made Kobol uninhabitable.  As stated in the [[Book of the Word]], the [[13th Tribe]] left opposite the other [[12 Tribes]], the information to their location residing in the tomb of the [[Ninth Lord of Kobol]].  ([[Lost Planet of the Gods]])

Transmissions from Earth -- i.e. the [[Apollo Moon Landing]] -- were picked up by [[Apollo (TOS)|Captain Apollo]] in the [[Celestial Temple]] on an obsolete [[Gamma Frequency]], though the copy of the transmission was destroyed in the attack on the [[Cylon basestar (TOS)|Cylon basestar]].  ([[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]])

== Notes (Non-Canonical) ==

In the nefarious <i>[[Galactica 1980]]</i>, Earth was discovered.  Much to the dismay of Adama and the survivors, the humans on Earth were underdeveloped and would not be able to defend themselves from the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]].
