Canceron is the most populous planet in the twelve worlds. It is located in the Helios Delta system, sharing its orbit with two other planets, one of them being Aerilon. The planet was well known for its beaches, such as those in Brachyura City (B.C.), and had at least one large coastal metropolis ^{(TRS: "The Plan")}. The capital was Hades.

Prior to the First Cylon War, Canceron was a very overpopulated and poor colony. Canceron's major cities such as Hades and Mangala were known to have large slums. Its large population earned Canceron the nickname "The Largest Democracy" within the colonies, though some believed the government was nothing more than a corrupt oligarchy (The Caprican: "Canceron Wants a Fourth Pyramid Team" and "Just Wondering About That Military Roadblock Thing"). Those who hail from coastal cities, such as Brachyura City, were stereotyped as promiscuous, hedonistic "tanned airhead surfers" (The Caprican: "Playing the Field: Lonely Girl from B.C. needs our help & more!").

During the Cylon attack, Canceron is hit with at least three nuclear devices. One of the passenger liners within the fleet, Pyxis, is one of the last ships that escapes this world when the attack began. Aboard is the Number Six copy Shelly Godfrey ^{(TRS: "The Plan")}.

Robin Wenutu is the Canceron delegate to the first Quorum of Twelve after the Fall ^{(TRS: "Colonial Day")}.
