History

Part One: The Colonial Years

Little is known of the years that the Tigerian Colonial Ships (illustrated digitally here (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/ColonialMarine/Galactica%20et%20al/Ships/ColonialFleetCarrier.jpg)) traveled through the void at sublight speeds; multiple generations were born and, indeed, passed away, on-board the massive people carriers. Eventually, they found themselves on the threshold of a perfect world, a yellow-star system not unlike Sol. The grandchildren of the grandchildren of the original voyagers, trained by their parents and manuals, knew the procedures they had to undertake in order to land the massive ships. The planet they decided upon was the third one out from the sun of a total 7 planets, and the new planet was about the same distance from the star as Earth had been (according to their charts -- besides pictures, these colonizers had no idea what a planet looked like, let alone Earth).

Therefore, they

The 15 ships never interacted, though - there were no intermediary shuttles available, and limited ship-to-ship communication (mainly between the bridge staff coordinating the movements of the ships). The landing was, in addition to being rough,
