The twelve Colonies were founded by the survivors of the planet Kobol, who left that world because their star went out, and was no longer capable of supporting life. Records of this time are written in the accounts called the Book of the Word.
The period after the founding of the Colonies is known as the Era of Darkness. Interstellar and interplanetary communication was stopped, and the advanced technology which the survivors originally possessed was lost. Humanity returned to a peaceful, agricultural system of living.
After two millenia, Caprica again reached a state of high technology which allowed it to contact and unite the Colonies. Over time each Colony had developed its own unique culture, but despite this the Colonies united and prospered establishing new settlements throughout the sector and contacting other forms of intelligent life. This period is fondly remembered as the Long Peace.
The Colonies first came into contact with the Cylon Alliance when the Colonial fleet came to the aid of the Hasaris, freeing their planet from Cylon domination. The Cylons declared war against the Colonies and destroyed the Hasari in retaliation.
