==In the Original Series== | |||
The Thirteenth Tribe is the Thirteenth Colony, separated from their bretheren who form what would be known as the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Twelve Colonies of Man]]. The tribe leaves Kobol after environmental disasters on the planet doom the humans there unless they escape. The tribe settles on Earth, but apparently lose much of their knowledge of their Kobollian past, the knowledge of spaceflight and advanced technology in the thousands of years after their exodus. | |||
[[ | During their escape from the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]], Captain [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] discovers transmissions from Earth that appear to be an early spaceflight program ([[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]). | ||
[[ | In the spin-off series, ''[[Galactica 1980]]'', the battlestar and her fleet find Earth. However, the Earthlings are unaware of the Cylon threat and have rudimentary spaceflight ability, forcing ''Galactica's'' crew to aid in accelerating Earth's humanity in reaching for the stars and the knowledge above. | ||
==In the Re-imagined Series== | |||
The Thirteenth Tribe is described by priestess [[Elosha]] as leaving Kobol and its sister tribes before the remaining tribes leave to form the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies of Kobol]]. The tribe left before or at the beginning of the Great Exodus. | |||
:''"...The [[Sacred Scrolls]] tell that the 13th tribe left Kobol in the early days. They travelled far and made their home upon a planet called '''Earth'''...which circled a distant and unknown star."'' ([[Miniseries]]) | |||
At least a few of the [[Lords of Kobol]] remained to watch the 12 tribes leave Kobol. One of them is [[Athena, Lord of Kobol|Athena]], who kills herself in grief over the exodus. | |||
Commander [[William Adama]] falsely claims to know the location of Earth, using the lie to give the battered remnants of humanity a cause and reason to hope ([[Miniseries]]). Later, through the [[Arrow of Apollo|efforts]] of President Roslin, Adama and others locate a [[Tomb of Athena|tomb]] on Kobol, which reveals a map and sufficient references to point his Fleet to the true general coordinates of the legendary Thirteenth Colony of Earth ([[Home, Part II]]). | |||
