io9.com is reporting that Quantum Mechanix — the boys and girls that gave us the superb Firefly maps and deckplans, etc. has just churned out a map of the 12 Colonies for the Battlestar Galactica fans. It was put together with heavy input from Jane Espenson and the Caprica science advisor Kevin Grazer, so it’s as canon as it gets, folks!
I already preordered mine for $14.95.
There’s a short interview with Espenson, as well, at io9.com.
Looks like I might have to do a bit of work on my Colonies primer…

[…] managing to find a pretty good hi-rez scan of the Quantum Mechanix map of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, I decided to take another pass at my unofficial guide to the twelve worlds for the BSG role […]

One thing that always bugged me was whether the Colonials only settled the one cluster/system (depending on the version you want to use) or did they also have colony worlds in other systems. You’d think that with 2000 years of settlement and at the very least, hundreds of years of star flight, that they’ve settled worlds other than the 12 colonies.
If they have, it then brings the questions: How many? Where were they? What sort of population base and infrastructure? And how closely were they tied to the homeworlds?
In the original series it seemed like the Colonials had stepping stones of forgotten colonies all over the place.
