| This article is about the planet Bardo. You may be looking for episode Welcome to Bardo. |
Bardo[1] is an extraterrestrial planet that became uninhabitable, leaving it without a breathable atmosphere. It is the home of the Disciples. It was once home to an alien race referred to by Levitt and Anders as the "Bardoans" who had control of the Temporal Anomaly.
Early History
The Bardoans were extraterrestrial giants who accidentally destroyed their planet. They built underground structures to survive before eventually going extinct. According to Anders, they were wiped out by Gen. 9, and turned into crystal giants.[2] It is also mentioned that the unbreathable atmosphere was one of the causes of the Bardoans' extinction.
At some point after the extinction of the Bardoans, humans from Earth arrived through the Temporal Anomaly fleeing the Nuclear Apocalypse. They settled on Bardo and became the Disciples.
Each person had a unique biometric code by which an Anomaly Stone can find someone in the universe. The code used to fit on a Bardoan's arm but for humans the only place big enough is their back. The Bardoans would use it to pull back someone who stuck in the Anomaly. Disciples stopped using due to its 20% chances of failure.
Throughout the Series
In From the Ashes, some of the Disciples arrive through the Temporal Anomaly from Bardo and kidnap Bellamy Blake. Three are taken down by Echo and one of their HUD's identifies Gabriel Santiago and Echo with orders to capture and not kill them and to take the two back to Bardo. However, they are under orders to kill Hope Diyoza on sight. One, wounded but still alive, attempts to kill Hope, but is shot dead by Echo. With the Anomaly closing, presumably done by the remaining kidnappers to keep anyone from following them, Gabriel, Hope and Echo chase them through the Anomaly together.
In The Garden, Hope, Gabriel and Echo arrive on Skyring where Hope explains that the Disciples then used the Anomaly to travel to Bardo. However, while Hope has the code for the Anomaly Stone on a paper she kept in her arm, the code was washed away, keeping the group from traveling on to Bardo. Hope believes their only chance of reaching Bardo is in five years when they come back for their current prisoner, though with the time dilation, this would likely be a shorter time on Bardo. Exploring Doctor Colin Bensen's Memory Drive, Gabriel discovers that Colin figured out the code for Bardo, but his computer is destroyed before they can record it.
In a flashback, ten years after Octavia Blake and Charmaine Diyoza arrived on Skyring, a team of Disciples arrive through the Anomaly from Bardo, having received a message in a bottle Octavia had tossed into the Anomaly in the hopes of it reaching Bellamy. The Disciples kidnap the two women and presumably bring them to Bardo.
In Hesperides, Gabriel, Echo and Hope ambush five Disciples and steal their suits, using the Anomaly to cross over to Bardo.
In Welcome to Bardo, shown in a flashback 45 days ago, Octavia and Diyoza arriving on Bardo after being kidnapped from Skyring. Anders, the leader of the Disciples assigns a scientist named Levitt to look through Octavia's memories to retrieve any information that she has on Clarke. He spends 3 days looking through Octavia's memories, and becomes infatuated with her, to the point where he agrees to help Octavia get back to Skyring so she can find Hope. Hope arrives from Skyring and plans to send Octavia back to Sanctum and then retrieve Diyoza. Levitt plants Hope's location tracker on Octavia's back so that she can find Hope once she returns to Sanctum. Levitt opens the Anomaly and sends Octavia back to Sanctum, with her arriving back only a few moments after she originally left Gabriel. In a flashback to 7 days ago after Octavia is returned to Bardo, Levitt is taken off Octavia's case as Anders worries he is getting too close to her. Anders proclaims that Bellamy has arrived and they need Octavia to help talk him down. Bellamy is seen holding one of the guards at knifepoint near the Anomaly Stone. Octavia agrees to tell Anders everything about Clarke if he sends Bellamy back to Sanctum. Anders agrees and go to open up the portal, but one of the fallen guards detonates a grenade, seemingly killing Bellamy. In the present time, Gabriel, Echo and Hope arrive on Bardo and find Octavia in a catatonic state with another scientist. After watching the memory of Bellamy's supposed death, Echo becomes enraged and brutally stabs the scientist to death.
In Nakara, Gabriel, Echo, Hope and Octavia attempt to head to the Anomaly Stone so that they can return to Sanctum. On the way they run into Diyoza, who has escaped her confinement. When they reach the room containing the Anomaly Stone, they encounter Levitt, who is now working as a janitor. Levitt tells Octavia that the Disciples are waiting in the room, and will kill themselves to make sure the others do not escape. He instead suggests that they take the route through the oxygen farm to the outside surface, as the Disciples will not follow for fear of death. When the group arrives at the door to the oxygen farm, Gabriel blocks their entry, claiming it too much of a risk, due to the surface's uninhabitable conditions. He uses his suit weapon to stun the others, and when the Disciples arrive they knock out Gabriel.
Bardoans
The Native Bardoans were an alien race that had previously lived on Bardo.
Like the humans on Earth, the Bardoans accidentally destroyed their own planet, which became uninhabitable. They had advanced technology and were the creators of the Anomaly Stone. They built an underground shelter to survive after their planet was destroyed. According to Anders, they were wiped out by Gen. 9, and turned into crystal giants, which led to their extinction. It is also mentioned that the unbreathable atmosphere led to the Bardoans' extinction.

Underground Shelter
Bardo layout
This underground shelter was built by the native Bardoan race, due to the destruction of their planet that was left uninhabitable. Their planet's atmosphere was so polluted that they were forced to build forests underground in order to breathe, even they used the technology to create rainfall. This underground shelter is the only location on Bardo. After the Bardoans went extinct, humanity came to this place to escape the Nuclear Apocalypse that has destroyed the Earth. There, they became the Disciples.[3]

Notes and Trivia
- Due to planet's very distant location or possibly the presence of the Anomaly or the worse atmospheric conditions, the communication signal is very weak.
- The people sent to bring Bellamy, Echo and Gabriel back to Bardo are human with Anomaly tattoos that match Hope's but are different from Octavia's.
- Compared to the soldiers of Sanctum and Children of Gabriel, the Disciples from Bardo use highly advanced technology, judging by their weapons and armor. Whether or not this is related to Eligius or whether its simply technology that they developed over time is not yet clear though.
- Time runs faster on Bardo compared to Sanctum but slower than on Skyring as confirmed by a Disciple in "Hesperides." Gabriel Santiago suggests that a year on Skyring is only a few days on Bardo.
- Like Skyring, Bardo's neighboring planet appears to have a planetary ring, though smaller and fainter.
- Bardo is specifically identified as being a planet unlike Sanctum which was originally believed to be a planet but turned out to be an habitable moon instead.
