| '''Equellus''' is a low-tech planet in the [[Hatari sector]] of the {{TOS|Cyrannus|Cyrannus galaxy}}, similar in motif to the [[Wikipedia:American West|American West]] circa [[Wikipedia:1800|1800s]]. {{TOS|Apollo}} crash-lands on this planet after luring a {{TOS|Cylons|Cylon}} task force away from {{TOS|the Fleet}} with false distress signals.
| | Prior to Apollo's landing on this planet, there was another battle with the Cylons some ten or more years prior, resulting in another [[Colonial Warrior]] named [[Martin]] crash-landing on Equellus. A [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raider]] also crashed roughly nine yahrens prior, Equellus residents [[Lacerta]], [[Marco]], and [[Macy]] rescue a lone [[Cylon Centurion]], [[Red-Eye]], who terrorizes the residents on behalf of Lacerta, until Red-Eye is destroyed by Apollo ([[The Lost Warrior (TOS)|The Lost Warrior]]). |

| == Tie-in Material Information ==
| |
| | |
| * ''The ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]] ''(a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979) transposes [[Sectar (planet)|Sectar]] for Equellus, and vice versa:''
| |
| | |
| : Sectar is a remote planet in the [[Hatari sector]] dotted with fewer than twenty small human settlements. Large [[Ovines|Ovine]] ranches once exported large quantities of meat to the Colonies; orbiting freighters loaded up from small shuttles and froze their cargos by exposure to the chill of space for the long journey home. Today the [[Oviner|Oviners]] raise small herds for subsistence that provide them with milk products and clothing as well as meat. Cut off from Colonial civilization, technology on Sectar has reverted to a primitive level. Its population is largely defenseless; their most powerful weapons are simple [[Number Eight|Numo]] guns. Sectar would be an easy prey for any hostile, advanced race. It remains undisturbed only because it is so poor that no conqueror would waste time or energy on it. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=50}}</ref>

| | |
| == Notes ==
| |
| | |
| * Equellus' orbital view is a reuse of [[Caprica (TOS)|Caprica]]'s orbital view during the [[Battle of Cimtar|attack of the colony]] by the Cylon [[Raider (TOS)|Raider]]s (without the Raiders) seen in "[[Saga of a Star World]]."
| |
| == Separate continuity ==
| |
| | |
| * Equellus and its inhabitants {{alt-r|Equellus|are revisited}}, in a [[alternate reality|roundabout way]], in the [[Dynamite Entertainment]] comic book {{comics|vol2|4}}.
