Sagittaron is a planet in the Cyrannus Star System, orbiting the Helios Gamma star. Sagittarius is the ancient name of the colony, which was named after one of the Twelve Tribes of Kobol.

Summary

The barren, mountainous world of Sagittaron endured centuries of exploitation by the other colonies and, perhaps as a result, its inhabitants are still quite poor and have been slow to embrace modern science and technology. Because of their religious beliefs, many Sagittarons eschew medical treatments in favor of folk remedies. Public displays of affection, as well as singing and dancing, are banned by law, although visitors will find the capital, Tawa, a bit more tolerant than the isolated mountain valleys.

Location

The Twelve Colonies are located in the Cyrannus Star System. Sagittaron is in the third orbit of the Helios Gamma star in that system. The colonies Scorpia and Libran and also orbit this star.
