	Prior to the First [[Cylon War]], Sagittaron was a great provider to its fellow colonies, with its citizens and workers taking pride in their accomplishments. A change occurs when politicians and lawmakers turn the colony's output from necessity into profiteering.

	During the generation of [[Karen Zarek\|Karen]] and [[Jerome Zarek]], the government of Sagittaron began finding ways to address the situation of Sagittaron status as a work camp, however they did not wish to accept responsibility for the current condition of the colony. This lead, in part, to the creation of the [[Cylons (RDM)\|Cylons]], machines that would allegedly lessen the burden on the workers and free them.
