After they are overrun by a sneak attack conducted by the Cylons, a "rag-tag, fugitive fleet" of some 220 ships, lead by Galactica, escapes the Colonies and head towards a bright, shining planet known as Earth.

Richard Hatch continuation

In Richard Hatch's continuation novels based off the Original Series canon, he and his various co-authors attempt to further develop the different aspects of the Colonials, some of it based off the canonical material available, with others being created solely for the book series.

Caprica

Main article: the canonical Caprica

Caprica is held as the most developed of the Twelve Colonies.

Before being settled by those from Kobol, the Borellian Nomen settled the planet millennia before other colonists.^[1]

Adama claims that those of the House of Kobol settled Caprica. Those of the Kobollian bloodline have always been leaders of Caprica, a fact which is resented by some Capricans, in addition to rearing its head after Adama dies (Armageddon).
