'''Little Tauron''' is a neighborhood in [[Caprica City]], {{RDM|Caprica}} before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], notable for its large population of [[Tauron|Tauron]] immigrants.

The area is located in downtown Caprica City and consists of a string of open markets and businesses, as well as older, brick apartment buildings - a stark contrast from many of Caprica City's more modern architecture {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)|Rebirth}}.  Many of the businesses cater to its Tauron residents, with signage printed in both the Caprican and Tauron languages {{CAP|Rebirth}}.  

In the years before the [[First Cylon War]], Little Tauron is a hub of activity for the [[Ha'la'tha]]; members of the Tauron crime syndicate walking freely and with near impunity despite the presence of a nearby [[Caprica City Police]] substation {{CAP|Rebirth}}.  The back room at [[Goldie's Off Track Betting]] is used by the [[Ha'la'tha]] as a meeting place and hangout {{CAP|Reins of a Waterfall}}.  Ha'la'tha enforcer [[Sam Adama]] in particular considers Goldie's his place {{CAP|Here Be Dragons}}.

Sam Adama's older brother, [[Joseph Adama]], lives in Little Tauron with his wife [[Shannon Adama|Shannon]], daughter [[Tamara Adama|Tamara]], son [[Willie Adama|Willie]], and mother-in-law, [[Ruth]] at 615 Olympic Street #3 {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)|There is Another Sky}} .  Following the deaths of Shannon and Tamara, Adama continues to live in the family's apartment, braving an assassination attempt there before ultimately watching his son Willie die from a gunshot wound to the abdomen in the back room of Goldie's {{CAP|Here Be Dragons}}.  Despite such tragedies, Adama stays in Little Tauron, living in the apartment on Olympic Street with new wife [[Evelyn Adama|Evelyn]] and young son [[William Adama|William]] for at least several years {{CAP|Apotheosis (episode)}}.

[[Tad Thorean|Tad "Herecles" Thorean]] works in a grocery store in Little Tauron {{CAP|The Imperfections of Memory}}.

The area was also recreated as a near perfect - if rundown - version for the illegal [[holoband]] site, [[New Cap City]]; the virtual version of the Adamas' apartment in particular being inhabited by an "[[amp]]head" ([[CAP]]: "[[Ghosts in the Machine]]", "[[End of Line]]").

==Notes==
*Presumably, the area became a Tauron neighborhood after the [[Tauron Civil War]] that displaced many native Tauron peoples.

*Little Tauron features a very prominent visual reference to the real world with the famous [[Wikipedia: Pike Place Market|Pike Place Market]] sign from [[Wikipedia: Seattle|Seattle, Washington]] appearing in the digital matte painting of the location.

*For the pilot episode of ''Caprica'', Joseph Adama's Little Tauron apartment was shot in [[Wikipedia: Vancouver, British Columbia|Vancouver]]'s Waterfall Building, the same location used for {{callsign|Starbuck}}'s [[Delphi]] apartment building.  In subsequent episodes, the apartment is a sound stage set and digital matte painting. <ref>http://www.visitcaprica.com/2011/01/episode-1-pilot.html</ref>
