In {{YR|42}}, [[Athena Academy]] student and [[Soldiers of the One]] member [[Ben Stark]] carries out the suicide bombing of '''Maglev 23'''. Aboard the train are Stark's girlfriend [[Zoe Graystone]] as well as [[Shannon Adama|Shannon]] and [[Tamara Adama]], all killed in the bombing {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)}}. <blockquote>The producers intentionally staged the bombing to be a shocking and sudden event, with no foreshadowing or sense of dread, to maximize its impact on the audience.<ref>[[Podcast:Caprica pilot|Podcast for ''Caprica'' pilot]], timestamp 00:11:38</ref> </blockquote>Caprican [[Global Defense Department]] Agents [[Jordan Durham]] and [[Youngblood]] are assigned to investigate the bombing, pursuing evidence that lead them to mistakenly believe Zoe Graystone was a conspirator in the attack {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)|Rebirth}}.

While the bombing wasn't condoned by the Soldiers of the One leadership or the [[Monotheist Church]], Sister [[Clarice Willow]] refuses to condemn Ben Stark for his actions {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)}}. Nevertheless, Willow takes the act as an affront to her leadership from fellow cell leader [[Barnabus Greely]] who, along with Stark, [[Keon Gatwick]] and others, planned the bombing as a more aggressive tack in fighting Caprican decadence and moral corruption {{CAP|Know Thy Enemy|End of Line}}.
