==History==

===Sky Embassy===

[[The Sky (TOS-RH)|The Sky]] established an embassy and outpost on [[third moon of Xerik-12 (TOS-RH)|Xerik-12's third moon]] to facilitate diplomatic relations with the [[Chitain (TOS-RH)|Chitain]].<ref name="WH2" /> This diplomatic arrangement was peaceful and mutually beneficial for a period of time, with the Chitain sharing aspects of their technology and culture with the Sky.<ref name="WH3">{{cite book/RH|2|3}}</ref>

[[Valor (TOS-RH)|Valor]], a Sky warrior, was in stationary orbit around the third moon when the [[Chitain (TOS-RH)|Chitain]] launched their unprovoked attack on the embassy.<ref name="WH1">{{cite book/RH|2|1}}</ref> The betrayal and subsequent destruction of the embassy transformed the relationship between the Sky and Chitain from peaceful neighbors to enemies, ultimately leading to war between the two species.<ref name="WH227">{{cite book/RH|2|227}}</ref>

===Colonial Fleet Arrival===

The [[The Fleet (TOS-RH)|Colonial Fleet]], led by Commander [[Apollo (TOS alternate)|Apollo]], set course for the Xerik system after acquiring an ancient holographic map of the Cyranus nebula.<ref name="WH20">{{cite book/RH|2|20}}</ref> Using coordinates for [[Kobol (TOS alternate)|Kobol]] that [[Adama (TOS alternate)|Adama]] had discovered many yahren earlier, they plotted locations of planets across the quadrant where emigrants from Kobol had traveled and established colonies.<ref name="WH20" />

The Xerik system was the nearest of these planets identified on the map, making it the fleet's immediate destination.<ref name="WH20" /> [[Omega (TOS alternate)|Omega]] reported to Apollo when scanners picked up their objective, and Apollo gave the order: "Set a course for the Xerik system."<ref name="WH20" />

As the Colonial Fleet approached the system, advance reconnaissance pilots like [[Sheba (TOS alternate)|Sheba]] and [[Starbuck (TOS alternate)|Starbuck]] traveled ahead of the battlestar on patrol.<ref name="WH43">{{cite book/RH|2|43}}</ref> [[Troy (TOS alternate)|Troy]]'s trajectory placed Xerik's sun above him, and the distant sun's beauty was noted even as he focused on scanner data.<ref name="WH64" />

The fleet hoped to find a colony on [[Xerik-5 (TOS-RH)|Xerik-5]], and the approach to the Xerik system represented another potential reunion between separated branches of the human race.<ref name="WH43" />
