Editing Twelve Colonial Empires

{{separate continuity|universe=TOS|cont=Dynamite Comics}}

:''For the canonical depiction of the Twelve Colonies of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]], see: [[The Twelve Colonies of Man]].''

The '''Twelve Colonial Empires''' (or the '''Colonial Empire''') consists of the [[aether]]-faring human race, and includes the following worlds:

* {{inlineref|Aeries|bold=N}}<ref>While not specifically called "Aeries," Adama refers to the "Aerians" in his statement in the last page of ''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 4]]''. Given that comic series' predilection for using names of colonies from the [[Twelve Colonies of Man|Original Series lexicon]], it is a logical progression that the colony be named "Aeries."</ref>
* [[#Caprica|Caprica]]
* [[#Gemini|Gemini]]
* [[#Sagitaria|Sagitaria]]

The governing body for the Empire is the {{inlineref|Quorum}}, featuring [[Archduke]]s and other aristocrats numbering twelve in total. Following Professor {{1880|Baltar}}'s attempt at acquiring power following [[Carillion]]'s destruction, the Quorum quickly excised Baltar, as well as both anything and anyone (including survivors of the [[Battle of Carillion]]) touched by Baltar's technologies into the [[aether]] (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1]]'').

== Caprica ==

'''Caprica''' is known as the '''Twelfth Colonial Empire'''.

The first target of [[Baltar (1880)|Baltar]]'s vengeance was Caprica, home to [[Archduke]] [[Adama (1880)|Adama]] who was instrumental in thwarting Baltar's power grab following the conclusion of the [[Ovion Wars]].

Using the [[Cylonics]], Baltar is able to lay waste to Caprica by turning the [[aethership]] ''[[Atlantia (1880)|Atlantia]]'' into a [[solium]] bomb (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1]]'').

== Gemini ==

'''Gemini''' falls under attack as well, and following {{1880|Cain}}'s defeat there, Baltar lures Adama (with false transmissions purporting to be from Cain) and a small group of ships in order to wipe out the remaining defense of the Colonial Empire (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 2]]'').

== Sagitaria ==

'''Sagitaria''' is the next of the Colonies to be targeted by Baltar. However, the battle against ''{{1880|Galactica}}'' and its small fleet at Gemini results in Baltar abandoning this action, and a retreat to {{1880|Gamoray}} to regroup the Cylonic attack force (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 3]]'').

== Others ==

* [[Helia]], a former prison planetoid of the Empire.

== Notes ==

* The planet [[Rising Star]] is outside of the Colonial Empire, but populated by humans.
