Including asteroid colonies, there are a total of 6 in the Universal Century that I can think of, five of which actually achieve impact. Of course, then you have that one AU...

Unfortunately, because KSP only models gravity between two objects, it's impossible to place O'Neill cylinders (or any type of space colony) into their proper orbit at Lagrange points. Of course, if all you want to do with it is smash it into a planet, that's not much of a problem.
