New Caprica City

New Caprica City is a small colony that most members of the Fleet create on New Caprica after the inauguration of President Gaius Baltar (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).

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. 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 sit just outside of town. Former President Laura Roslin runs the city's elementary school.

New Caprica City during the 134th day of the Cylon occupation, with the center of the city being the detention center.

The 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 Colonel 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 Kara Thrace.

There is also a power distribution station whose generators were destroyed in the second suicide bombing of the insurgency, wiping out power to half of the city. In addition to these structures, numerous watchtowers 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 the Galactica's return and the Battle of New Caprica (Exodus, Part II).
