This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Dynamite Comics separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

Baltar's planet^[1] is the world where Baltar is exiled upon, in fulfillment of Adama's promise to him resulting in the success of, and following, the Battle at Galaxy's Edge.

It is the fifth planet of an unnamed system, featuring a jungle where Baltar resides inside of a shipping container with basic supplies and a short-range transmitter. Its jungles feature edible food, similar to those of the banana, which Baltar acquires for sustenance.

A yahren into his exile, circa 7349, Baltar uncovers revelations regarding his modifications by the Cylons and is summarily abducted by Commandant (Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014).

Later, having been returned^[2] to the planet, Baltar is "saved" by Iblis and transported to another planet as part of Iblis' trap to destroy his enemy (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #3).

-A [[black hole]] singularity of Iblis' creation bridges the Colonial's known universe and a separate universe where this planet resides, trapping many hapless denizens for an untold period of time.

-This congregation is fodder for [[Meclons]], who attack and abduct its members for "integration" into the Meclon Empire ({{comics|vol3|2}} & {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}). However, the planet possesses a secret&mdash;another husk of a ship that bears the skeletons of Iblis' former pig-faced followers&mdash;in a cavern where even the Meclons do not enter, thus making it a sanctuary for the congregation ({{comics|vol3|2}}).
-Following a battle that destroys the {{alt|Ship of Lights}}&mdash;the act itself tearing a hole back into the primary universe&mdash;the [[Seraphs]] rescue the congregation and transport them to the Fleet. The planet left abandoned by the Fleet and {{alt|Lucifer}}'s Cylons who have made good their escape, Iblis returns to the planet to resurrect his original followers as Meclons, swearing vengeance against ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'' and those who have shunned him ({{comics|vol3|5}}).
-== Notes ==
-* The planet shares many similarities with the [[red planet]] that [[War of the Gods|Iblis had been discovered upon]] previously, including wreckage of a large ship containing his long-dead followers.
-* Given Iblis' powers, it is entirely possible that Iblis' planet and the red planet previously encountered are one-and-the-same, displaced both in space and time, but that link is never definitively confirmed in {{comics|folly||this comic book series}}.
