Kobol

Kobol, ancestral home of Twelve Colonies, is a planet in the Milky Way galaxy, located in sector 728. While lush and life supporting, the planet has been abandoned by all sentient life for at least 2000 years, ever since the exodus of Thirteen Tribes. The surface is dotted by ruins of civilized life, now all but reclaimed by nature.

Wait, wrong cobol.

Cobol

Cobol ("common business-oriented language") is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. It is an imperative, procedural, and, since 2002, object-oriented language.
