Antila is a Delta-class planet in the A4477 system. It is known to the Colonials in the sense that it was previously home to a human colony, but all other information about it had been classified, outside of noting the world to be dangerous.

History

Unbeknownst to the Colonials, a group of pacifistic outcasts from Scorpia had settled the planet many yahrens before the final Cylon attack against the Colonies. Some of the original settlers died from diseases native to the planet while others died from wild animals and the elements, but their settlement thrived until division, corruption, and malaise affected the Scorpion pacifist colony.

Sometime before the Cylon attack, the Cylons invaded Antila and managed to overtake the human settlement. Some survivors, like Megan and Kordel had been captured, while others had fled—some had fled to the hills, away from the Cylons, while a score of children lead by Kyle began guerrilla warfare against the invaders. However, the reptilian Cylons had died out, being extremely susceptible to Antila's virulent diseases, leaving Spectre in charge. To cover the failure of the invasion, the ambulatory sentience built machine facsimiles of Cylon Centurions, which he names after attributes of the planet (Mudhole, Hilltop, Treebark) and programs them to be subservient to his will in the hope of one day ascending the ranks of the Cylon Empire.

Post-Cylon attack

Starbuck's forced landing on Antila changes the tide against the Cylons. Despite Kyle's attempt to exchange Starbuck for his mother, Megan, Starbuck manages to force Spectre into retreating from the planet with the aid of Kyle's band of "young warriors". Megan, freed Antilans, and the children are reunited and rebuild their settlement with the help of the Cylon robots left behind by Spectre and lead by Hilltop. After this, a shuttle from Galactica recovers Starbuck and ferries him back to the Fleet (The Young Lords).

Living

Name	Notes
Araidne	The second daughter of Megan and Renkin, and younger sister of Kyle, Miri, et al.
Arno Armwaver	One of Kyle's "young warriors".
Jergin	One of Kyle's "young warriors," Miri believes her to be the "loveliest girl in the entire outlaw band," who often builds up their spirits with her cheerfulness. As one of the oldest of the children, she is one of Kyle's chief aides alongside Herbert the Singer, and plays a role in organizing the children for various tasks and missions. Jergin is seen standing guard at the entrance of the storeroom and is involved in the evacuation plans back to camp, and later bids Starbuck farewell.
Kordel	Antila's councilman who is captured by Spectre during his invasion. Kordel is imprisoned with Megan, who views Kordel as having being both overly prosperous and smug. After hearing about Spectre's exchange offer from Miri, Kordel considers Megan a fool for not seizing upon the opportunity, as he would be in her position. Following her injuries after Spectre's duplicitous exchange, he changes her bandages from soiled strips of clothing from his and other prisoner's clothing. He later unlocks many of the nearby cells during Starbuck's rescue of Megan. He later takes command of the Cylon Centurions that surrender to the Antilans following Spectre's escape.
Kyle	Oldest son of Megan and Renkin, he is the most pigheaded and exchanges Starbuck to Spectre in the hope of retrieving his mother; he is fooled, and gives command of his "young warriors" to Starbuck after his escape from Cylon hands.
Laughing Jake	One of Kyle's "young warriors". He rarely smiles and is always stoic. He communicates with the other children primarily via gestures and looks.
Herbert the Singer	One of Kyle's "young warriors".
Melysa
Miri	Oldest daughter of Megan and Renkin, as well as the most thoughtful. She regularly visits Megan in her cell at the castle-turned-Cylon garrison. Given the absence of adults, she teaches the children and maintains a written diary depicting the history of their struggle against the "tincans".
Nilz	Son of Megan and Renkin, and young brother of Kyle, Miri, et al.
Robus	Son of Megan and Renkin, and young brother of Kyle, Miri, et al.
