Sagittaron

Sagittaron is a planet in the Cyrannus Star System, orbiting Helios Gamma. It is named after the Sagittarius tribe who resided on Kobol, though its citizens may not have been affiliated with that tribe.
==History==
Sagittaron was colonized by Gemenese fundamentalists who felt their brothers and sisters there were not truly devoted to the sacred texts. The Helios Gamma system, also home to Libran and Scorpia, were occupied by the imperial superpowers Virgon and Leonis, who exploited the system for centuries. Sagittaron gained its independence following the two empires' mutual destruction.
With the formation of the United Colonies of Kobol two centuries later, Sagittaron became more exposed to the wider human society. However, racism against Sagittarons existed even after then, as their opposition to military service offended the wider community in the Cylon War and their views on medicine stereotyped them as walking plagues.Battlestar Galactica, episode: "The Woman King". Criticism of Sagittaron's incorporation into the United Colonies continued twenty years after the end of the Cylon War, and Sagittaron Tom Zarek led a terrorist campaign against the government, where he gained sympathy from idealists.Battlestar Galactica, episode: "Bastille Day".
== Geography==
Sagittaron was considered by the other colonies to be a barren, mountainous world, and much of its population was spread out into isolated valleys, such as the Acheron River. The only known major city was Tawa.
==Culture==
The Sagittaron culture, like the Gemenese polytheists, believed in the literacy of sacred scriptures, but there were enough disagreements that prompted them to abandon the planet entirely. Among the cultural beliefs was that relying on modern medicine was in some way sinful, and Sagittarians preferred herbal folk remedies.
