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

The Encyclopedia Galactica (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979) transposes Equellus for Sectar, and vice versa:

Equellus is a minor farming and ranching planet with few human settlements. Its original inhabitants, the Borays, a primitive but intelligent species, have had a hostile relationship with the human settlers. Grain is Equellus's principal export, but its economy is mainly geared to subsistence. There are no large cities. The small, widely scattered towns must be largely self-sufficient to survive.^[1]

-: Sectar is a remote planet in the [[Hatari sector|Hatari sector]] dotted with fewer than twenty small human settlements. Large [[Ovines|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 [[Oviner|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 [[Number Eight|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. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=50}}</ref>
