- For information on the proposed Re-imagined Series spin-off, see Caprica (series).
Caprica is a large blue-green planet, and the only colony directly seen by viewers thus far in the Re-imagined Series.[1] According to Gaius Baltar, Caprica was the seat of politics, culture, art, science, and learning. It was also one of the wealthiest colonies (Dirty Hands). In My Triumphs, My Mistakes, Baltar writes of a "Caprican Elite" as the emerging aristocracy of the Fleet.
Its largest population center is Caprica City, which served as the seat of all three branches of the Colonial Government and the capital of the Twelve Colonies. Caprica City is surrounded by other small towns and hamlets, such as Oasis.[2] Anther major city was Delphi, famous for the Delphi Museum of the Colonies and also home to a large spaceport. During the Cylon attack, the Cylons spared Delphi from nuclear bombardment in order to use it as a base of operations in their occupation of the planet (Downloaded).
The human resistance cell, led by Samuel Anders, operated near Delphi, having survived the nuclear attack by being in the mountains (and thus above the radiation).
Caprica is known for its fine Caprican cloth (which Dr. Baltar wears), fumarella leaf, Caprican cigars and art.
A railway line can be seen below the balcony of Baltar's house on Caprica during "The Hand of God". What appear to be internal combustion engine powered vehicles, such as cars and trucks, are seen extensively in shots of Caprica.
On their treck across Caprica, Karl Agathon and Sharon Valerii explore two undestroyed and unnamed cities.

Spin-off
- Main article: Caprica (series)
The proposed spin-off series Caprica would have been set exclusively on the planet, set 50 years prior to the Cylon Holocaust and followed the Adama and Greystone families.
References
- ↑ The military base seen in Kara Thrace's flashbacks in "Act of Contrition" might have been located on another planet than Caprica, but cannot be placed with certainty.
- ↑ Thus far, Caprica is the only planet of the Twelve Colonies that viewers have seen directly. The series' opening credits show Caprica City, as well as the nuclear bombing of Caprica itself.
