A shining planet, known to us as Earth, is our where our mysterious 13th tribe is said to have gone to establish a 13th colony.
In the Gemonese language it is called Terra, but rumours are now spreading like sunbursts throughout the Fleet, that fragments from our ancient Kobolian tongue, tell us that the 13th tribe may have been called the Ophiuchian, taken from it's original ancient name of Ophiuchus.
[In legend, Ophiuchus was the Serpent Bearer, who is also identified as Asclepius, the god of medicine. Legend tells us he learned the skills of healing power of plants from a snake. His medical skills were so great that he could even raise the dead, which caused deep concern to Hades, god of the underworld. He therefore persuaded Zeus, his brother to strike Asclepius dead with a thunderbolt. Zeus then placed Asclepius in the sky, in recognition of his healing skills, along with Serpens, his serpent.]
I have even heard from the elders, that Ophiuchus was set in the heavens among the other twelve zodiac constellations that encircle the Earth, like a celestial band. Perhaps he still like a protective herdsman of all his twelve brothers and their colonies.
Ohiuchon or Earth, now may be the very last outpost of human civilization, who still carry the legacy and culture descended to them from our mother world, Kobol.
Let us offer up prayers that our sister world is strong enough to help us fight our enemy, the Cylons. May the Lords be with us, and our lost brothers and sisters far across the universe, the Ophiuchians.
