The 15th Fleet is based from one of the 12 colonies Picon: |
|
The planet of Picon is in many respects similar to Caprica, except for its relatively small size and |
|
mass. The result of the smaller mass is a lighter gravity field experienced by those on the surface |
|
of the fifth Colony. Picon also has a higher proportion of water to and, but all other parameters |
|
lare similar to Caprica. Picon grew from a largely agrarian society into a major port of call for |
| merchant ships en route to other destinations within the Twelve Colonies. |
|
The explosion of trade between the Colonies fuelled the rapid transformation of Picon from a |
|
backwater Colony dependent upon farming to one of the richest and most sophisticated worlds |
| under Colonial control. The mindset of the Pisceans changed over time and military service became |
| the social norm for most Pisceans. In fact, more than three quarters of the population was involved |
| with the Picon Navy in some way or another at the time when the Articles of Colonization were |
| signed. Picon Naval power is second only to that of Caprica. With the unification of the Colonies, |
| Picon played host to the Colonial Navy Headquarters in the capitol Picon City and the Naval |
| Academy along with the War College. Subsidiary naval industries sprang up on Picon to feed |
| the Naval machine and Picon became the center of Colonial naval construction. In many ways, Picon |
| is viewed as a military planet. As a direct consequence of their militaristic nature, Pisceans tend to |
| operate by a strict code of discipline. Displays of emotion in public are strongly frowned upon, while |
| tears are seen as a sign of weakness. |
