The Twelve Colonies of Man[1] included the colonies of:
Star System
The Twelve Colonies of Man are located in an unnamed multi-star system within the Cyranus Galaxy.
History
First Exodus
According to the Book of the Word, a religious text of the Kobollian faith, humanity began on a planet called Kobol. However, this is untrue, as the font of humanity is referred to solely as Parnassus, and responsible for colonization of man well before Kobol was even settled by the Lords of Kobol.
A thirteenth tribe is said to made another exodus to a planet known as Earth (TOS: "Saga of a Star World"), however it is later revealed to Apollo that {{TOS-.
War
Recent battles in the Thousand Yahren War included the Battle of Cosmora Archipelago (with Commander Kronus, battlestar Rycon and the Fourth Fleet), the Battle of Caprica, and the Battle of Molecay (with the Fifth Fleet and battlestar Pegasus).
The Thousand Yahren War brutally ended with an elaborate Cylon sneak attack at the Battle of Cimtar, which destroys the last battlestar fleet, led by President Adar (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").
One surviving battlestar, Galactica, escapes destruction and is unable to ward off a simultaneous bombardment of the Twelve Colonies and its populace. Millions, perhaps billions of humans are killed. The survivors escape their worlds to follow Galactica in search of a safer haven.
Colonization
Several planets, moons and asteroid colonies throughout the portion of the galaxy familiar to the Colonials boasted small croppings of Colonials. Some who were well aware of the Colonies and the war with the Cylons (TOS: "The Long Patrol", "The Young Lords"), others knew nothing of them, such as Sectar (TOS: "The Magnificent Warriors"), Equellus (TOS: "The Lost Warrior"), Eastern Alliance, Terra, Paradeen and Lunar Colonies (TOS: "Greetings from Earth", "Experiment in Terra").
