New Caprica Police: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:42, 2 April 2009

The Cylon Occupation Authority creates the New Caprica Police (NCP) in response to security issues with the captive humans who inhabit New Caprica. The group consists of humans who are either coerced into working for the Cylons, or join the police voluntarily because they believe that they can deal with the human population more effectively than Centurions, and thus prevent unnecessary suffering and deaths.

With numerous security restrictions and heightened levels of control imposed on the populace New Caprica, a band of human resistance fighters, regarded by the Cylons as insurgents, begins to strike back against the occupying Cylon force. The NCP is formed in direct response to this insurgence.

NCP members are often tasked with performing "dirty work" for the Cylons; rounding up suspects believed to be part of the resistance as well as innocent civilians, illegally imprisoning, beating and executing them. Wearing dark balaclava helmets (colloquially referred to as ski masks), blue body armor, and green uniforms with white armbands, the NCP remain anonymous to the general population of New Caprica, who see them traitors collaborating with a brutal occupying force. Resistance members estimate that up to 200 humans are secretly working for the group.

The most significant damage the resistance inflicts on the NCP takes place when the group is infiltrated by Tucker Clellan. In a spiraling depression caused by the death of his wife Nora Farmer (The Resistance - Episode 4), Clellan agrees to be wired with explosives and to detonate them during a graduation ceremony for new NCP recruits. In addition to Clellan, thirty-three NCP cadets and numerous Cylons die in the explosion. James Lyman, a New Caprica Police captain and former deckhand under Chief Tyrol on Galactica, survives the attack. The intended target of the suicide bombing, Colonial President Gaius Baltar, chooses not to attend the gathering and is unharmed as well ("Occupation" , "Precipice").

After the human population escapes New Caprica and reunites with the Fleet, a number of known and suspected collaborators, including Lyman, are tried and executed by the Circle, a secret tribunal created under the executive order of President Tom Zarek to investigate and decide the fate of collaborators during the Cylon occupation of New Caprica (Collaborators).

Notes

The recruiting poster seen in Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance and "Occupation" depicts a man in black clothing, despite all police seen on duty being dressed as described above.

-Because the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] occupation of [[New Caprica]] leads to numerous security restrictions and heightened levels of control and repression on the planet, a band of human resistance fighters, regarded by the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] as insurgents, begins to strike back against the occupying [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] army.  This leads to the formation of The [[New Caprica Police]] (NCP), humans who either volunteer or are coerced into working for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] authority.  Wearing black ski masks, blue body armor, and green uniforms with white armbands, The New Caprica Police are considered traitors to the human race and are regarded with both disgust and disdain by the majority of the planet’s human civilization.  The NCP is often tasked with performing "dirty work" for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], rounding up both suspects believed to be part of the Resistance as well as innocent civilians who are often illegally imprisoned, beaten and executed.
-The most significant damage the resistance inflicts on the NCP comes when the group is infiltrated by [[Tucker Clellan|Tucker "Duck" Clellan]], a member of the [[New Caprica Resistance|insurgency]] driven to a suicidal depression by the death of his partner, [[Nora]], who had been killed during a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] attack on a makeshift place of worship used by the humans.
+The [[Cylon Occupation Authority]] creates the '''New Caprica Police''' (NCP) in response to security issues with the captive humans who inhabit [[New Caprica]]. The group consists of humans who are either coerced into working for the Cylons, or join the police voluntarily because they believe that they can deal with the human population more effectively than Centurions, and thus prevent unnecessary suffering and deaths.
-[[Tucker Clellan|"Duck"]] is wired with and detonates an explosive device in a suicide-bomber attack during the graduation ceremonies of a New Caprica Police Academy class of two hundred cadets and [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] VIP guests ([[Occupation]]). Casualties include thirty-three cadets and numerous Cylons. [[Jammer|James "Jammer" Lyman]], who serves under the rank of Captain in the New Caprica Police, and a former deckhand under Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] on ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', escapes unharmed.
+With numerous security restrictions and heightened levels of control imposed on the populace New Caprica, a band of human [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance]] fighters, regarded by the Cylons as insurgents, begins to strike back against the occupying Cylon force. The NCP is formed in direct response to this insurgence.
-After the humans are able to escape New Caprica, Jammer, along with a number of other people and former NCP members, are charged with crimes against humanity, found guilty of treason and summarily executed.
+NCP members are often tasked with performing "dirty work" for the Cylons; rounding up suspects believed to be part of the resistance as well as innocent civilians, illegally imprisoning, beating and executing them.
