Earth is the home of the lost Thirteenth Tribe in the Original Series.
The lost Thirteenth Tribe settles on the planet Earth, its settlers having departed long ago from Kobol after the same environmental cataclysm which caused the Exodus of the Twelve Tribes and made Kobol uninhabitable. As stated in the Book of the Word, the Thirteenth Tribe left opposite the other Twelve Tribes, the information of their destination residing in the tomb of the Ninth Lord of Kobol (Lost Planet of the Gods).
Transmissions from Earth -- the Apollo Moon Landing -- are picked up by Apollo in the Celestial chamber on an obsolete gamma frequency, although the copy of the transmission is destroyed in an attack on a Cylon basestar (The Hand of God).
Notes
- Due to the discovery of several planets inhabited by Hhmans of the Thirteenth Tribe, especially Terra, and the Eastern Alliance, it may be assumed that Earth is very advanced in terms of technology, and could be more than a match for the Cylons.
