Additional Information


The Colony[1] is a large biomechanical structure similar in composition to the Basestars. After the armistice, the Final Five and the Centurions retreated to this place, which is analogous to a spaceborne Cylon homeworld (Islanded in a Stream of Stars).

It is also the place where Ellen Tigh supposedly stored her resurrection research equipment (No Exit).

Prior to the Cylon civil war, Cavil kept the Colony secret (No Exit). Cavil moved the Colony shortly before the start of the Cylon civil war, indicating that the structure is FTL-capable (Islanded in a Stream of Stars).

References[edit]

  1. Jane Espenson referred to this place as "The Colony" in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, and hinted that it is not necessarily a literal colony.
