Sectar (planet)

The planet Sectar, in the Zeta Quadrant.

Sectar is a planet in the Zeta Quadrant of Cyrannus. It is home to the native Borays, as well as a small agro colony of humans, settling in the town of Serenity. As with other far-flung settlements, it was cut off from the Colonies sometime during the Thousand-Yahren War.

In more recent history, the Borays began raiding Serenity for food, supplies, and women when Sectar's orbiting satellite became fully visible in the night sky.

Adama leads a mission to this planet hoping to trade an unmarked energizer in exchange for some agron seed, after two of the three agro ships in the Fleet are destroyed during a Cylon attack ^{(TOS: "The Magnificent Warriors")}.

Tie-in Material Information

• According to Encyclopedia Galactica (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):

Sectar is a remote planet in the Hatari sector dotted with fewer than twenty small human settlements. Large Ovine ranches once exported large quantities of meat to the Colonies; orbiting freighters loaded up from small shuttles and froze their cargos by exposure to the chill of space for the long journey home. Today the Oviners raise small herds for subsistence that provide them with milk products and clothing as well as meat. Cut off from Colonial civilization, technology on Sectar has reverted to a primitive level. Its population is largely defenseless; their most powerful weapons are simple Numo guns. Sectar would be an easy prey for any hostile, advanced race. It remains undisturbed only because it is so poor that no conqueror would waste time or energy on it.
