I recently watched "Greetings from Earth Part 1 & 2", "Baltar's Escape", and "Experiment in Terra".
My dilemma is, I don't understand where the people of Terra are supposed to have originated from.
They obviously use the same terms of time measurement as we on earth do, in particular "minutes", "hours", and the like. Not as the Colonials do.
Michael from "Greetings from Earth", had to ask Apollo what a centon was.
So were the people of Terra some other colony whose origins came form Earth, millennia ago? Though, their technology is more advanced than earth's.
Apollo is asked to explain the colonial origins with Michael on Paradeen, but no other explanation of Terra's ancestry is mentioned, but that of a world divided between Free Nationalists and the Eastern Alliance.
Also, is Terra situated somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy or yet in another star system light years away, that the Colonial Fleets were passing through?
What do you warriors know on this?
