Picon is a planet in the Cyrannus Star System, orbiting the Helios Alpha star. Pisces is the ancient name of the colony, which was named after one of the Twelve Tribes of Kobol.
Summary[]
Penrose Harbor
The surface of Picon is over seventy-five percent water, but, unlike Aquaria, its climate is temperate (at least during the summer months) and its seas support an abundance of aquatic life. Once governed by Virgon, Picon is now one of the more socially progressive colonies, providing health care and affordable housing to all citizens. The populace is affluent and educated with an enviably low crime rate. Picon's capital, Queenstown, started out as a fishing village and now supports a thriving entertainment industry that rivals Caprica's. [1]
Location[]
