The map was made over the course of one year with the help of writer Jane Espenson and scientific advisor Kevin Grazier while graphic designer Geoffrey Mandel "created the map from scratch".
And Espenson and Grazier explained to us how twelve colonies can fit in one star system.
We did keep the days of the week and the clock the same on Caprica, which may be an error, but one we made on purpose – some changes felt like they'd appear distracting or distancing and other like they'd contradict what we'd seen in the fleet – the standard clocks seen in the episode '33' for example. They are located within the Cyrannus star system. They provided an outlet for England’s surplus population and (in some cases) more religious freedom than England did, but their primary purpose was to make money for their sponsors.
The information in it is what I'd call quasi-canon. If they were going to shoot a night shot, then the lights that were required to light the shot were far brighter than any of the other stars, were they in the sky. Picon's description inaccurately claims Queenstown is Caprica's capital, instead of Picon's. "use strict";(function(){var insertion=document.getElementById("citation-access-date");var date=new Date().toLocaleDateString(undefined,{month:"long",day:"numeric",year:"numeric"});insertion.parentElement.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(date),insertion)})(); FACT CHECK: We strive for accuracy and fairness. I suggested that either the Twelve Colonies are spread across a couple neighboring stars at the edge of a star cluster, OR that they were orbiting a multiple star system like Castor (six stars in three binary pairs), or a summer target well-known to amateur astronomers, Epsilon Lyrae (the famous double-double star). And Espenson, as the original showrunner for the prequel series Caprica, had to do a lot of thinking about exactly how the Twelve Colonies were laid out. In 1680, the king granted 45,000 square miles of land west of the Delaware River to William Penn, a Quaker who owned large swaths of land in Ireland. 2. Battlestar Galactica Map of the 12 Colonies was a map of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol created based on notes by writer Jane Espenson for the Caprica story bible. It was not without warning; the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770 and the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773 showed the colonists’ increasing dissatisfaction with British rule in the colonies. Picon's description inaccurately claims Queenstown is Caprica's capital, instead of Picon's. Also, Scorpion, the "playground of the colonies." Battlestar Galactica Map of the 12 Colonies[1] is a Quantum Mechanix product depicting the The Twelve Colonies Of Kobol as seen in the Re-imagined Series and its spin-off Caprica. In 1664, King Charles II gave the territory between New England and Virginia, much of which was already occupied by Dutch traders and landowners called patroons, to his brother James, the Duke of York. And Grazier, who works at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, verifies that the info in this map is "scientifically plausible." Prior to The Fall, the Colonies were inhabited for over two millennia. Two months later, the three-masted ...read more, Many of the details of the Popham colony have been lost to history, but in its heyday the tiny settlement in Maine was considered a direct rival of Jamestown.
