<p>Jtkauff: Corrected role of Mormon Quorum, fixed church name.</p> <hr /> <div>:''This article explains the legislative body in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]]. For information on its [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] counterpart, see [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)]].''<br /> <br /> The '''Quorum of Twelve''' is a unicameral deliberative body that grants each of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|the Twelve Colonies]] one elected representative, who votes on and brings issues to be discussed. The scope of these issues, at least in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|current series]] is likely to be quite broad, due to the lack of any other organized political bodies in the aftermath of the [[Cylon attack]].<br /> : ''The Quorum combines features from the [[Wikipedia: U.N. Security Council| U.N. Security Council]], [[Wikipedia: United States Senate| U.S. Senate]] and the [[Wikipedia: Quorum of the Twelve Apostles| Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]] (a leadership body in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).''<br /> <br /> After the loss of the old Quorum, [[Laura Roslin|President Laura Roslin]] reestablished a new Quorum on [[Colonial Day (holiday)|Colonial Day]]. Its representatives include:<br /> <br /> * [[Tom Zarek]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Sagittaron|Sagittaron]]<br /> * [[Marshall Bagot]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Virgon|Virgon]]<br /> * [[Sarah Porter]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Gemenon|Gemenon]]<br /> * [[Robin Wenutu]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Canceron|Canceron]]<br /> * [[Safiya Sanne]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Picon|Picon]]<br /> * [[Gaius Baltar]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] (no longer held; elected to Vice President, Quorum seat replaced by unknown delegate).<br /> * [[Eladio Puasha]] of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Scorpia|Scorpia]]<br /> <br /> One of the primary issues of the new Quorum was the election of a Vice President; in a time when no Vice President is available during a presidential term, the Quorum gets to cast the votes towards a Vice President. Should there be a tie, the President is the one who casts the tie-breaking vote ([[Colonial Day]]).<br /> <br /> [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]]'s Quorum of Twelve assembles onboard ''[[Cloud 9]]'' ([[Colonial Day]]). However, with ''Cloud 9's'' nuclear destruction moments after [[Gaius Baltar]]'s swearing-in as President of the Twelve Colonies ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]), the status of the Quorum's members or its role in the new colony on [[New Caprica]] is unclear, although Baltar mentions that it still exists.<br /> <br /> == Notes ==<br /> It is conceivable that the Quorum was instituted by the [[Articles of Colonization]]; 52 years prior to the final [[Cylon Attack]].<br /> <br /> [[Category: A to Z]] [[Category: Colonial Government]] [[Category: RDM]]</div>
