Carillon (alternate): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:06, 3 May 2020

This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Dynamite Comics separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

For this planetoid from the Original Series proper, see: Carillon.

Carillon is the dimly lit planet opposite the Nova of Madagon from the Twelve Colonies of Man.

Between 7331 and 7332, Abel and a small expeditionary team of prospectors discover Carillon, and Abel sends that team away to hide its secret, which he has told only to Baltar: Carillon is rich with tylium deposits. Abel is slain by Baltar for this secret, Baltar recruits the Ovions under their queen, Lotay, to mine the tylium for him. Meanwhile, Baltar sends a falsified report on Carillon to Sire Damaris, who later releases Baltar from his contract with the Quorum of Twelve while in "mourning" for Abel.

Under this aegis of misinformation, Baltar oversees the operation and allows the Ovions to create a chancery and resort, where the house always loses—and so do its victims, for they end up being the Ovions' food source.

To prevent a Cylon invasion of Carillon, a la Cygnus, Baltar litters the tylium mines with radiation charges. The Cylons keep their distance and, over the next fifteen yahren, Baltar regales himself with the riches Carillon has yielded him, culminating in an offer from the Cylon Empire.

Believing that offer to be genuine, Battle of Cimtar by the Imperious Leader and loses claim to Carillon (Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014). The Ovions assume Baltar's mantle of ownership over the mine, and continue dealing with the Cylons until the planet's destruction ^{(TOS: "Saga of a Star World")}.

-[[Image:Carillon.jpg|thumb|Carillon, before its destruction]]
-'''Carillon''' is the dimly lit planet upon which the [[Ovion]]s reside.
-Carillon has rich [[tylium]] deposits that the Ovions had hoped to trade to the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] in exchange for independence, a fact unknown to the Colonials. An earlier expedition overseen by [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]] reported that Carillon had nothing of note, although these reports were later proven false by surveys from the [[The Fleet (TOS)|rag-tag, fugitive fleet]] under Commander [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]].
+[[Image:BSG 2014 Annual - Chancery of Carillon.png|thumb|An unlikely chancery and resort on Carillon becomes the slaughterhouse from which the Ovions obtain their nourishment ({{comics|annual2014}}).]]
-A [[Chancery|resort]] on the surface of the planet is created as a lure to kidnap people for the purpose of consuming them. A victim would be lured by continued wins at the chancery, while being continuously fed. After a time, victims would brought below into the underground caverns via an elevator, and subsequently thrown into small honeycomb-style alcoves. It is in these alcoves that both adult and child Ovions would feast upon their prey.

-Following the [[Battle of Cimtar]], the Fleet arrives at Carillon via the [[Nova of Madagon]] under the mistaken belief that it was abandoned. Discovering a veritable oasis replete with food and comfort, [[Sire]] [[Uri]] decides to lay down plans to have Carillon be their final destination, until [[Warrior]]s [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] uncover the Ovion and Cylon deceit.

-During their escape, they set fire to the tylium mines, leading to a chain reaction that ignites the tylium throughout the mines of the whole planet. Leading to an exodus from the planet for the Colonials,Apollo and Starbuck fool the nearby [[Basestar (TOS)|Cylon basestar]], upon which the [[Imperious Leader]] is aboard, into descending closer to the planet before Carillon explodes ([[TOS]]: "[[Saga of a Star World]]").

-== Notes ==
+Under this aegis of misinformation, Baltar oversees the operation and allows the Ovions to create a [[chancery]] and resort, where the house always loses&mdash;and so do its victims, for they end up being the Ovions' food source.
-* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
+To prevent a {{alt|Cylons|TOS|Cylon}} invasion of Carillon, [[Invasion of Cygnus|a la Cygnus]], Baltar litters the tylium mines with [[radiation charge]]s. The Cylons keep their distance and, over the next fifteen [[yahren]], Baltar regales himself with the riches Carillon has yielded him, culminating in an offer from the {{alt|Cylon Empire}}.
-: The tylium-rich Carillon was first discovered by Colonials 178 [[yahren]] before the [[Battle of Cimtar]], later settled by a human mining colony 58 yahren later. Since the soil is incapable of supporting crops, the settlers are dependent on supplies from outside sources. Despite this, the colony grew to 50,000 people 15 years after settlement.
-: Due to the intensification of the [[Thousand-Yahren War]], supply lines became impossible to obtain and the colony was later abandoned, making way for the non-native [[Ovions]] to settle, mining the tylium for the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]].<ref>{{cite_book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=26}}</ref>

-* The [[Ovion]] mines were shot in Stage 27 (''Phantom'' Stage) at Universal Studios. This stage housed the 1925 ''[[w:Phantom of the Opera (1925 film)|Phantom of the Opera]]'' set, upon which the Ovion mines were built "over."<ref name="galtv">{{cite_web|url=http://www.galactica.tv/battlestar-galactica-1978-interviews/richard-colla-galactica.tv-interview.html|title=Richard Colla GALACTICA.TV interview|date=29 April 2008|accessdate=2 June 2019|last=Egnor|first=Mike|format=|language=}}</ref>

-* According to director [[Richard A. Colla]], the pyrotechnics used in the scene of [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]], [[Boxey (TOS)|Boxey]] and [[Muffit II]]'s flight from the mines became "a little bit exuberant," forcing the cast and crew to flee the stage. The fire was subsequently extinguished, forcing a rebuild of the Carillon sets while preserving the original ''Phantom'' sets on stage, for those older ''Phantom'' sets were considered to be "the jewel."<ref name="galtv"/>
