	Commander Adama notes that one million people on Caprica were killed as a result of [[Karibdis]]' sabotage of Caprica's defenses {{OS\|Murder on the Rising Star}}. This is implied to be the total sum of Caprica's total population, thus making the Fleet's total survivor population from Caprica ''no more'' than 1/14th of the approximately 6,000 persons. It would not be 1/12th, as one may surmise, given the following:		Commander Adama notes that one million people on Caprica were killed as a result of [[Karibdis]]' sabotage of Caprica's defenses {{OS\|Murder on the Rising Star}}.
