| '''New Caprica City''' is a small city on [[New Caprica]] built after the inauguration of President [[Gaius Baltar]]. The city is situated at a river mouth, which accounts for the sandy ground in the area.

| | |
| With a population of 39,192, New Caprica City is essentially a shanty town of makeshift buildings and tents with a small number of buildings built from planet-bound ships. Despite a [[Founders' Day|groundbreaking ceremony]] for more permanent buildings conducted four months after the settlement of the planet, further growth is hampered by supply shortages and President Baltar's weak leadership.

| | |
| The city's market place, commons area and athletic courts are located near the ships. ''[[Colonial One]]'', the ''[[Astral Queen]]'', an [[atmospheric shuttle]] and a [[Colonial shuttle|Colonial Shuttle]] sit just outside of town. Former President [[Laura Roslin]] runs the city's elementary school ("[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]," "[[Unfinished Business]]").

| The [[Cylon Occupation Authority|Cylon occupation]] (at day 380 after settlement) causes some changes on the face of the city. While the humans still live in a shanty town of tents and a makeshift marketplace, the Cylons have built some permanent structures. The largest of these is the [[New Caprica Detention Center]], a concrete structure and walled compound which dominates the city's skyline. Laura Roslin and [[Saul Tigh]] are imprisoned for a time in subterranean cells in the prison's basement. Larger cells appear in blocks around the prison compound, which are barred by gates. One of these is converted into a furnished apartment occupied by [[Leoben Conoy]] and {{callsign|Starbuck}}.

| | |
| There is also a power distribution station whose generators were destroyed in the second suicide bombing of the [[New Caprica Resistance|insurgency]], wiping out power to half of the city. In addition to these structures, numerous [[Guard towers|watchtowers]], manned by Centurions, have been constructed in points throughout the city. At night, search lights on these towers illuminate the streets and tents below.
| |
| | |
| The city is abandoned by both the Cylons and Colonials in the wake of ''Galactica'''s return and the [[Battle of New Caprica]] ("[[Occupation]]" through "[[Exodus, Part II]]").
