Two thousand years ago the Twelve Tribes left Kobol after a disaster - the nature of which is now unknown. They traveled two thousand light years to the Cyrannus Star System, a system with four stars. The Leo Tribe settled this pleasant world.
Summary
Leonis has always been a major center of education and industry and, despite the gradual integration of the colonies, it has maintained its own distinctive language and culture. With almost no axial tilt, the planet is blessed with a mild and predictable climate, which means spectacular beaches and year-round ski slopes. Not surprisingly, Leonan food and wine are considered among the best in the colonies. Despite historical clashes on Picon and other colony worlds, Leonis is now on relatively good terms with its neighbor Virgon. (1)
Location
The Twelve Colonies are located in the Cyrannus Star System. Leonis is in the second orbit around the Helios Beta star in that system. Its celestial neighbor is the planet Virgon. (2)
Business
The Caprica Guatrau's shell company, Obolus Inc., is located on Leonis. ("The Dirteaters")
