| : This prison on the asteroid [[Proteus]] was established by the [[Aerian|Aerians]] in [[5220]]. In its heyday in the 5300s, it housed over one hundred thousand. Its brutality made it infamous throughout the Colonies. The harshness of which the Aerians were once so proud eventually became an embarrassment during the enlightened days of the [[Long Peace]]. And so, early in the [[Thousand-Yahren War|Cylon War]], the majority of the prisoners were released. The Proteus Prison was then gradually forgotten.

| : Also forgotten were a few hundred prisoners and their guards, the [[Proteus enforcers|Enforcers]]. Whether they chose to remain behind or whether they were simply overlooked by the evacuation teams is unknown. These men and women remained to form a strange society that lasted for generations. The children of Enforcers took their parent's place, the children of the prisoners took as names the crimes of their parents, the crimes of their ancestors.

| : The prisoners on Proteus manufactured Ambrosa, the finest in the Galaxy. After the asteroid was cut off from humanity by the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]], however, no further shipments could be made, and centuries of production piled up on the loading docks. The Enforcers, anxious to keep their power, kept up the pretense that the Ambrosa was going to the Colonies. When their lie was exposed by the arrival of ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'', the Enforcers were quickly overthrown. <ref>{{cite_book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=47}}</ref> | |
