Hat tip to The Bad Astronomer, a very detailed map of the Colonial star system by the series technical adviser and writers. Cool multiple star configuration and planet info for each colony. Too bad, it was a beautiful place.☹ (Damn Cylons) > **[Detailed Map Of Battlestar Galactica's Twelve Colonies](https://gizmodo.com/detailed-map-of-battlestar-galacticas-twelve-colonies-5742034)** > > Here's your exclusive first look at a new star-map of Battlestar Galactica's Twelve Colonies, designed by writer Jane Espenson and science advisor Kevin Grazier. And Espenson and Grazier explained to us how twelve colonies can fit in one star system. ---
