Starbuck and Apollo race their turbocycles down a dirt path on Mount Colicos (Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1).

Mount Colicos is a location on Caprica known to some for its dirt trails for turbocycle racing.

This location is within driving distance from both Lower Caprica and the Adama residence.

Apollo and Starbuck both lost their turbocycles in a race on Mount Colicos in 7328 (Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1).

Notes[edit]

Mount Colicos is likely named in honor of John Colicos, the actor who portrayed Baltar in the Original Series.

To ill-fated Vipers enter visual range of Mount Hekla (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").

Mount Hekla is a mountain on Arcta, located at meridian 079 of quadrant three, with its summit above the atmospheric cloud layer (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").

Doctor Ravashol lives at the base of this mountain, which contains a Cylon garrison. At the top of the mountain is the Ravashol pulsar, which the Cylons use as a weapon against the Fleet, as well as a launch bay filled with Cylon Raiders directly behind the pulsar emplacement.

During the firing of the pulsar, the resulting sound waves cause avalanches. One such avalanche injures Ser 5-9 as Apollo's expedition climbs towards the intake valves for the pulsar located atop the mountain (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part II").

Miri with a group of unicorns.

The unicorn is an equine-like creature on Attila, whose single distinguishing feature is a single conical horn on the forehead.

Megan's children, who are lead by Megan's oldest son, Kyle, use these as a means of transportation to attack the Cylons who occupy their planet (TOS: "The Young Lords").

Similar creatures appear on other human-occupied planets. On Equellus, a unicorn's head is seen mounted upon the bar that Lacerta inhabits (TOS: "The Lost Warrior"). Later, Starbuck is imprisoned in a cell whose rock walls feature a drawing of such a creature, among other works by a silent artist (TOS: "The Long Patrol").

Related Imagery[edit]

Separate Continuity[edit]

Unicorns from Antila[1] are telepathic and can communicate with humans in that method. Their horns are used for both defense and offense, to slay beasts or even to untie ropes.

The book names three unicorns used by Kyle and his band of "young warriors": Demon, Magician and Rogue.

Unicorns are also known to the Colonials, having been noted by some to have previously existed on Aquarus and Virgon (The Young Warriors).
