Origins

The Twelve Colonies were introduced in the original Battlestar Galactica. They were located in an unnamed multi-star system within the Cyranus Galaxy, and had been at war with the alien Cylons for 1,000 yahrens (years).

The original Twelve colonies were:

Aeries
Caprica
Gemoni
Picon
Sagitaria
Scorpion
Tauron
Virgon

Within the re-imagined series, the twelve colonies are:
