			: The Quorum of the Twelve is the governing body of humankind and is composed of one representative of each of the Great Colonies. The Quorum first met in [[4998]], shortly after the rediscovery of interstellar travel. Throughout most of its history, the Quorum remained an august, dignified body with little practical power. Each of the Colonies had its own deeply-rooted traditions and concerns and was unwilling to submit any important questions for resolution by the group.

			: For centuries, Councilorship on the Quorum of the Twelve was limited to [[burticians]]. It is ironic that the Quorum attained real power only under the leadership of its first peasant member, [[Adar (TOS)\|Adar]]. Near the end of the [[Great Cylon War]], the Quorum not only controlled all human military operations through the [[Intercolonial Strategic Council]], but also directed all economic production and transport as well. Improved communications led to exchanges of literature and entertainment that were beginning to reunite humankind into one people once again.

			: The Quorum continues to govern the survivors of the [[Final Destruction]] in the Battlestar ''[[Galactica (TOS)\|Galactica]]''<nowiki/>'s fleet under the leadership of Councilor [[William Adama\|Adama]]. <ref>{{cite_book\|last=Kraus\|first=Bruce\|authorlink=\|authorlinkurl=\|coauthors=\|year=1979\|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]\|publisher=\|location=\|id=\|pages=47}}</ref>

	* In the novelization of "Saga of a Star World", Sire Uri is noted to be speaking to a Councilman Lobe of Piscera whilst on Carillon about the possibility of settling on the planet. The on-screen version of this scene shows the unnamed Statesman portrayed by Norman Stuart as being the individual Uri is speaking to about the above scene from the novel, though it is uncertain if this is a canon source.		* In the novelization of "Saga of a Star World", Sire Uri is noted to be speaking to a Councilman Lobe of Piscera whilst on Carillon about the possibility of settling on the planet.
