Kobol was a planet with a large population, and many cities.

 Kobol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kobol is the name of a planet in the fictional Battlestar Galactica universe.
The people of Kobol developed space-faring technology, and within the story it is suggested that their population likely reached the limits inherent in occupying a single planet, and, coupled with other disasters or factors (such as Kobol's sun being unstable), motivated humans to leave the planet.
Kobol is rediscovered in the aforementioned "Lost Planet of the Gods", which depicts at least part of the planet as being a desert, with ruins similar (or possibly identical) to the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza; parts of the episode were filmed on location at Giza.

Laura Roslin believes that she is the one destined to find the way to Earth via Kobol, and enlists the aid of Kara Thrace to use the captured Cylon Raider to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo back on their homeworld of Caprica.
It is her belief in the gods that drives her to commit treason; but, if she sees herself as the instrument of the person (i.e., Roslin) who will lead her people to salvation, then she has a holy obligation to carry out the President’s commands to the best of her ability.
Their Raptor is seen entering Kobol’s atmosphere, where no doubt they will survive as Baltar discovers more of his future destiny.

 [BSG] Jammer's Review: "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 2"
The stranded team on Kobol is mainly concerned with basic military survival tactics, and I liked the story's continued commitment to character details.
Starbuck arrives on a very Cylon-occupied Caprica (although most of the Cylons seem to be in orbit), and there's a nifty FX shot of her Raider flying through a ravaged cityscape of damaged skyscrapers.
Faced with a malfunction, Sharon and Racetrack are forced to land their Raptor in the base star docking bay, and Sharon must remove the nuke from the side of the Raptor and arm it.

Both Corona and Chavez went on to join Nortec, a collective of musicians and visual artists based in Tijuana and were, for a while, active members, incorporating elements of traditional Mexican music in their contemporary setting.

KOBOL is pretty bare-bones in its current form, but the price is low.
But the point is that because of the way KOBOL currently handles the newline character, the input gradually drifted off -- byte by byte -- from matching up with the input records.
KOBOL follows a similar strategy, but uses C++ instead of C. Gordon said he actually began the KOBOL project before founding theKompany.com.

After their home planet Kobol was known to be doomed, the people set forth across a Great Void, which seemed to be endless until a bright shining star appeared as if from nowhere and guided them to safety.
Kobol itself was considered lost or a legend until its rediscovery in "Lost Planet of the Gods", its demise attributed to both the variable radiation of its sun or some ecological disaster.

Later, in Adama’s cabin, a meeting is being held, with Adama studying the returned images of the new planet and agreeing it might be Kobol and that they should seriously consider settlement on it.
He also said that we would find Kobol and that Kobol would show us the way, did he not?” This mollifies Starbuck somewhat, and she agrees.
Thus, to single any individual member of the cast out at the expense of the others would be somewhat unfair; everyone appearing on-screen – be it for 40 minutes or 4 – makes their character utterly engrossing to watch.

 Lords of Kobol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lords of Kobol are the fictional pantheon of deities worshiped by the humans of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol featured in the fictional universe of Battlestar Galactica.
One of the goals portrayed by the Cylon antagonists is to bring about the belief of a single "true" God, and to have humans abandon their pantheon of false deities, which the one God denounces.
This may not necessarily indicate that Jesus is another Lord of Kobol, as none of the known Lords of Kobol have yet had their names used as epithets.

To wit: Roslin is either totally out of her mind or she really is the savior of mankind as she, and her kooky voodoo priestess (hey, that's what she looks like), seems to believe.

Indeed, it might be Kobol, the legendary "home of the gods." The discovery prompts Commander Adama to send a ground team to investigate; it also gives new life to President Roslin's belief that she is a tool of destiny and that this discovery, like her rapidly spreading cancer, is part of an ancient prophecy.

Separately, however, if Caprica Sharon invited Helo to shoot her, risking that he was going to plug her in the head, it appears that whatever plan the others had, she's bucking it to some degree.
Nice touch by the director: Elosha hands the Book of Kobol to Roslin to show her the picture of the Opera House which she just saw in her vision, and the book jostles Roslin's bottle of Kamala pills (the ones which make her hallucinate).
The music in the scene on Kobol in the Opera House was suitably freaky and seductive, almost like the waltz which the devil plays for Lily in Legend.

 ZedneWeb: Galactica’s quest for Earth
Some background for those unfamiliar with the show: The protagonists are human beings from twelve planets known as the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, which were founded by twelve tribes who left (or were banished from) Kobol a few thousand years before the series begins.
No one has heard from them, or the gods, for centuries, and the location of Kobol has been lost—until about halfway through season one, when it was rediscovered by Colonial refugees fleeing the attack by the Cylons.
Maybe the Colonials rebelled against their masters and were banished from Kobol, much as the Cylons rebelled against their creators.

According to Elosha this is the forum of the upper house of the gods on Kobol, which was the basis for the design of the forum on Caprica.
Kobol's Last Gleaming provided a very clever way of exploring their feelings in a way that didn't actually put them together but involved a third party [Baltar].
Why'd we leave Kobol in the first place?" "One jealous god began to desire that he be elevated above all the other gods, and the war on Kobol began." Number Six replies, "Blasphemous stupid lies.

Kobol, just to review, is the planet from which the ancestors of humanity ventured forth several millennia earlier, eventually discovering and colonizing the twelve, well, colonies.
  They had Kobol within their grasp, and now a big, fat Cylon basestar is sitting on it, with a third of the survey team, including the Colonial vice president, trapped on the surface.
Until then, “Kobol’s Last Gleaming” is symbolized for me by the armed confrontation on Colonial One.
