The Galacticans are a human subspecies which became separate from the Terrans and Earthlings. How similar they are to the humans of Kobol is uncertain. The Galacticans emerged as a distinct group during the exodus from Kobol, where Twelve Tribes departed in one direction to eventually found the Twelve Colonies of Man while the Thirteenth Tribe departed in another direction and seeded other worlds. The Galacticans spread out much farther than their twelve colonies, and planted many settlements which, due to the Thousand Yahren War, were separated from the main body.
Biological differences[]
Galacticans are genetically distinct from the descendants of the Thirteenth Tribe. Galacticans lack finger prints.[1] The Galacticans evolved on planets with thicker atmospheres and stronger gravity than the Terrans and Earthlings, with Terra noted as being only a fifth the density of Caprica.[2] They are capable of jumping unusually high and running fast by comparison if put under their cousins' conditions, though this would make them get tired faster.[3]
