The main legislative body is the '''Quorum of Twelve''', with each of the twelve members representing a colony. Initially lead by a [[Adar (TOS)|president]], the position is never filled after the destruction of the Colonies {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}. The original Quorum leaders, prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar]], were apparently interspersed amidst the five battlestars of the ill-fated peace conference, having last met on battlestar ''[[Atlantia (TOS)|Atlantia]]''. | The main legislative body is the '''Quorum of Twelve''', with each of the twelve members representing a colony.

In the past, each Quorum member (who apparently are either are [[Sire]]s or Siresses) received a [[Seal of the Lords|special medallion]] associated with their position. Most of the Seals have been lost to either time or due to the final Cylon attack, leaving Adama and the traitorous Lord {{TOS|Baltar}} with the only Seals. Adama knows from study that the medallions have special abilities aside from its symbolism of authority, and Baltar apparently remembers this information as well {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II}}. | In the past, each Quorum member (who apparently are either are [[Sire]]s or Siresses) received a [[Seal of the Lords|special medallion]] associated with their position.
