While I think I understand what he's getting at, I agree with Ricimer and Spencerian that this content belongs with the Twelve Colonies. Maybe in the future when they've found a place to live, and a few generations have passed, they MIGHT begin to stop identifying so strongly with the colonies. But for the time being both the characters and the viewers still identify the refugees very strongly with where they came from (the fact that we/they keep track of which colony people came from is an example). --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 17:08, 23 January 2006 (EST)		::::::I think what Troyian was so vehement about was the identity and the pride of the people who are from the colonies.
