History
Colony was the first settlement ever founded on Cyprus. It was the landing site of the Dawn program spaceships, which originated in the Earthly country of the United States and were the first manned interstellar spaceships ever. Rocket #1 landed in the present-day Arrival Plaza on 17 Martary, C.Y. 0, and the other 49 ships in the mission arrived in the following two weeks.

Colony was the largest city in Taatiklatar and the country's main population center from C.Y. 0 to approximately C.Y. 50 to C.Y. 100. Many prominent early Taatiklarian political figures originated in the area, most notably John Antoine, Sammy Alakina and Mame Schmidt.

Colony has always been a major tourist destination throughout its existence. Cyprus Day celebrations commonly draw almost 100,000 people every cypriot year.
