Scorpia

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide


Scorpia and its shipyards from orbit.

Ancient Name: Scorpio

Population: 450 million

Patron God: Dionysus

Capital: Celeste

Major Cities: Celeste, Argentum

Attractions: Argentum Bay, Guardian Mountains, Scorpia Shipyards

Pyramid Teams: Scorpia Stingers, Celeste Storms, Celeste Lightning, Argentum Bay Silverstars

Scorpia was known for its lush jungles and hot temperatures (TRS: "The Plan"). Scorpia's capital was Celeste.[1]

Before the First Cylon War one of the major leisure spots of the world was Argentum Bay, despite the colony's trashy reputation (The Caprican: "Argentum Bay: The Ultimate Vernal Break"). The Planet was also apparently well-known for its paragliding (TRS: "Razor") and its particular variant of ambrosia infamous for its potency and sulfur taste (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy").

After the Unification, Scorpia was home to the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards.

During the initial Cylon attack, Scorpia falls victim to numerous massive nuclear attacks, destroying much of the population. Cylon forces also focus on the orbiting ship yards, obliterating the structure, destroying numerous Battlestars and support ships, and causing another one to risk a blind jump in order to escape (TRS: "Razor", "The Plan").

Eladio Puasha serves as the planet's delegate to the first Quorum of Twelve assembled after the Fall (TRS: "Colonial Day").

Notes[edit]

  • In an LA Times article, Scorpia is described as having a "scorpion tail-like half-ring".
