[[File:Silentonemap.jpg|thumb|A diagram painted on a rock wall of a [[Proteus]] cell, formerly inhabited by an enigmatic, taciturn drifter, "[[Silent One|The Silent One]]" {{OS|The Long Patrol}}.]]
The coordinates for Earth are implanted in the minds of [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], [[Sheba]], and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] during their encounter with the [[Beings of Light]], and is recalled during their conversation with Commander Adama about what transpired with Count [[Iblis]] on the [[red planet]]. "Earth quadrant alpha, 19 million sectars by Epsilon vector 22 on a circular reckoning course of 000.9, in a star system with nine planets and one sun." {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}.

"Earth quadrant alpha, 19 million sectars by Epsilon vector 22 on a circular reckoning course of 000.9, in a star system with nine planets and one sun." {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}. This correlates with a rudimentary diagram of a solar system Starbuck earlier discovers in a Proteus cell where an enigmatic drifter known only as "[[Silent One|The Silent One]]" formerly resided {{OS|The Long Patrol}}.


As the Fleet proceeds further from its [[Cyrannus (TOS)|home galaxy]], they begin encountering settlements that are not lost remnants of Colonial settlement. Notably, they discover humans who have no direct connection to the Twelve Colonies, in the form of [[Terra]] {{OS|The Long Patrol|Greetings From Earth|Experiment in Terra}}.

As they leave Terra behind, transmissions on an obsolete [[gamma frequency]]—the [[w:Project Apollo|Apollo Moon Landing]]—are intercepted and recorded by {{TOS|Apollo}} in the [[celestial chamber]]. Further analysis of the recording proves impossible as the only copy of the transmission is destroyed [[Battle at Galaxy's Edge|in an attack]] on a Cylon [[basestar (TOS)|basestar]]. Using a gamma frequency booster made by Boomer, Apollo installs it into the chamber's communication hardware, allowing for the clear receipt of their first transmission from Earth... unbeknownst to them {{OS|The Hand of God}}.

*Due to the discovery of several planets possibly inhabited by humans of the {{TOS|Thirteenth Tribe}}, especially [[Terra]] and the [[Eastern Alliance]], it may be assumed that Earth is very advanced in terms of technology, and could be more than a match for the {{TOS|Cylons}}. This presumes that Earth's technology did not regress at some later date.

*These planets may be inhabited by humans left behind by the Thirteenth Tribe on the trek to Earth (if not migrated and forgotten members of other Colonial habitations), and as such give no real insight as to Earth's status. The transmission of the Apollo 11 landing (which, barring other non-Einsteinian means, would travel at light-speed) could be used to define the distance between the Fleet and Earth.
