"The Colony of Justice" Libran is a planet in the Cyrannus star system, and one of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, orbiting Helios Gamma. It and Aquaria are the only two of the Twelve Worlds to not have fixed capitals.[1][2] It is named after the Libra tribe who resided on Kobol, though its citizens may not have been affiliated with that tribe.

History[]

Libran was underdeveloped for much of its existence until some 200 years before the Cylon War, when Caprica made efforts to create a Colonial Government. Due to its undeveloped and neutral nature, Libran was selected to be the home of the Inter-Colonial Court. This court was located in the city of Themis, its only major settlement. Themis was Libran's de facto capital, there being no legal status for one on the planet. This court was subsequently able to settle disputes between the Twelve Worlds.[1]

Geography[]

Libran is known for its dense jungle environment, though its stormy climate made it an unpopular choice for colonization, and development on the colony was limited.[1] In the time of the Colonial Government, it was considered a planet-sized wildlife reserve.[3]

Landmarks[]

The Grand Library of Libran was an architectural landmark on the planet.[4]
