History
The Twelve Colonies
Overview
The Quorum of the Twelve was the main governing body of the Twelve Colonies that consisted of twelve members where each represented one colony. There was a President of the Twelve Colonies, who acted as the head of state. There was also a Commander in Chief of the armed forces. The President and civilian government led the Colonies, unless martial law was declared.
There is no death penalty, not even for treason. The maximum punishment is life imprisonment. Officers of the courts, called "tribunals," in criminal proceedings include 'Opposers' (prosecutors) and 'Advocates' (defense attorneys). Such tribunals have to convene within ten centars
The Colonial Fleet was the first line of defense against Cylon invasion. This force of Battlestars and Vipers has held the Cylons at bay and can easily outwit superior Cylon numbers with human ingenuity; Fleet personnel are renowned for their bravery and prowess in warfare in the Colonies and beyond.
The currency used by the Twelve Colonies are "cubits", which took the form of rectangular-shaped gold ingots.
