It is a burden, certainly, but one you will bear. You will have to build up the Colonial Fleet, protect civilian lives, uphold the Articles, and prevent the destruction of humanity.

However, the Cylons were gifted far more intelligence than the Colonials had intended. Humanity had created the Cylons to serve them as workers and emotionless cybernetic soldiers. Caprica is considered to be the center of the Colonial Government, Picon is the seat of Colonial Fleet High Command, and Sagittaron is easily considered the poorest and least socially stable of the Colonies. Not all of the colonies are equal, though. Each of the The Twelve Colonies has its own culture, dialects, climate, and even bias.
