Sectar (planet)

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.
