The books and comics based on the Original Series have been able to develop the Twelve Colonies where the television series was unable to. Those developments, while not part of the official canon, are noted here in the separate continuity.
Berkley novelizations
In the Berkley novelizations, the Twelve Colonies and their citizens are named:
- Aeriana / Aeries[1]
- Aquarus / Aquarian
- Caprica / Caprican
- Gemini / Gemon
- (Unknown) / Leos
- (Unknown) / Libran
- Piscera / Picon
- Sagitara / Sagitarian
- Scorpia / Scorpios
- Virgon / Virgo
Aeriana / Aeries
Called Aeriana in the novelizations, but Aeries on screen.
Aquarus
Unicorns were believed to have existed there. A waiter on Carillon offers Starbuck and Boomer an Aquarian dessert.
Libran
Adama recalls that Zac was drunk on unusually potent Libran wine (Battlestar Galactica TOS pilot novelization).
Piscera
Councillor Lobe was identified as the representative from Piscera (Battlestar Galactica TOS pilot novelization).
Sagitara
More than two decades[2] before the Battle of Cimtar, Adar runs for a minor political office on this colony, eventually leading to his career as president of the Quorum of Twelve (Battlestar Galactica TOS pilot novelization).
Scorpia
Apollo notes that Scorpia natives have "funny feelings" (Battlestar Galactica TOS pilot novelization). President Anton hails from Scorpia. The children on Antila had ancestors from Scorpia.
Virgon
Unicorns were believed to have existed on Virgon.
