==Discovery==

[[Image:NewCaprica.jpg|thumb|right|'''New Caprica''', as seen from space]]
Lt. [[Margaret Edmondson|Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson]] discovers the planet later known as '''New Caprica''' after her [[Raptor]] accidently jumps to the wrong coordinates while on a rescue mission to [[The Twelve Colonies#Caprica|Caprica]]. Ground surveys reveal that New Caprica is a cold world with a harsh climate, and that only about 20% of the surface - a small temperate band around the equator - is habitable. The planet is located in a solar system surrounded by a dense nebula. The nebula renders [[DRADIS]] all but useless, which makes the planet strategically appealing as it theoretically would protect the planet from [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] detection.

Excited by her discovery, Edmondson returns to the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' with information and sensor readings on the planet. The mere prospect of setting foot on a planet causes great excitement amongst [[the Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] quickly dividing it into two factions - those who wish to stop running from the Cylons and colonize the planet, and those that do not.

==Colonization==

President [[Laura Roslin]] writes off colonization as unrealistic, given the harsh climate. However, the discovery of New Caprica happens to coincide with the impending presidential election ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]). Presidential candidate [[Gaius Baltar]] and running mate [[Tom Zarek]] seize upon colonization as their wedge issue, offering the Fleet the prospect of settlement under the presumption that Cylon technology will be unable to penetrate the nebula. Roslin disagrees with this assessment, but the majority of the travel- and war-weary survivors of [[The Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]] find the idea of colonizing the planet enticing. Baltar and Zarek win a decisive mandate, and [[Laura Roslin]] is voted out of office. President Baltar's first executive order is to begin settlement, bringing an end to the Fleet's search for the planet [[Earth]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

Shortly after Baltar's inauguration a nuclear warhead, smuggled off of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', is detonated aboard and destroys [[Cloud 9]], a ship that is part of the fleet orbiting New Caprica. This incident will later have a devastating impact on the human settlers of New Caprica.

==One Year Later==

[[Image:NewCapricaCity.jpg|thumb|left|New Caprica City, complete with tents and a basic road infastructure]]
The population of New Caprica is concentrated in a small settlement called [[New Caprica City]]. The climate proves unforgiving, and there are major shortages of medical supplies and basic living materials - more than a year after colonization, most of the population continues to live in canvas tents. A small number of grounded ships also serve as living quarters. Many among the population of New Caprica City, including [[Galen Tyrol]] and the workers' union which he leads, blame President Baltar and his lack of leadership for the majority of economic and social problems facing the settlers on New Caprica ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

Just over a year after colonization, the population of New Caprica City is 39,192 ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). A small group of around 2,000 civilians remain in orbit in those ships incapable of making planetfall ([[Occupation]]).

==Cylon Occupation==

Three hundred and eighty days after settlement, the Cylons discover New Caprica after detecting and then tracing the radiation signature of the nuclear warhead detonated on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' and jump into New Caprica's orbit with a fleet of [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]]. ''Galactica'' and ''Pegasus'', in orbit above the planet, are caught by surprise and vastly outnumbered. With both ships at half strength, commander [[Lee Adama]] pursuades admiral [[William Adama]] to jump away from New Caprica with the other few ships orbiting the planet. Admiral Adama promises to return.

On the planet, President Baltar is confronted by a Cylon delegation consisting of [[Caprica Six]], [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]] and a copy of [[Number Five]]. Left with no choice, Baltar surrenders to the Cylons on behalf of what remains of the human race, now trapped on New Caprica ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

The Cylon forces are initially led by Caprica Six and Boomer under the sincere intention of establishing peace between the Cylons and the human race. However, they quickly lose their influence to the more militaristic Cylon models ([[Precipice]], [[Exodus, Part II]]). The Cylons become an occupying force on New Caprica, with President Baltar and his staff reduced to a puppet administration controlled by Cylon rule. Vice President Tom Zarek refuses to cooperate and is sent to a detention center ([[Precipice]]).

A band of human [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance]] fighters, regarded by the Cylon-occupiers as insurgents, begin to strike back against the Cylons. The resistance is significantly aided by an unknown, [[Felix Gaeta|inside source]] that passes them classified information, allowing the resistance to wreak considerable havoc on the Cylons. This leads to the formation of The [[New Caprica Police]] (NCP), humans who volunteer to work for the Cylon authority. The New Caprica Police are regarded with both disgust and disdain by the majority of the planet’s human civilization. Considered to be Cylon collaborators, the NCP are forced to wear black ski masks to hide their identies in an attempt to protect themselves from human reprisal.

== The [[Battle of New Caprica]] and the [[Second Exodus]]==

[[Image:New Caprica (Wide Shot).jpg|thumb|200px|New Caprica during the [[Battle of New Caprica]]]]
Based on a contigency plan developed prior to colonization by [[Saul Tigh]] and [[William Adama]], a [[Raptor]] is deployed from the hiding battlestars and regularly jumps into New Caprica's orbit in an attempt to contact the humans left behind. Concealed from Cylon detection by the nebula, the Raptor establishes contact with the resistance movement. With communication realized, Adama and his military personnel devise a plan to evacuate the human prisoners. However, the plan's success hinges on the retrieval of the planet-bound ships' [[launch key|launch keys]]. Confiscated by the Cylons, these keys are necessary to activate the FTL drives on the grounded ships.

Admiral Adama deploys a two-Raptor team led by newly commissioned [[Sharon Agathon]] that covertly lands on New Caprica and successfully establishes contact with the resistance. Agathon is able to locate and retrieve the hidden launch keys while pretending to be a different copy of her Cylon model ([[Precipice]]) and they are secretly returned to their respective ships ([[Exodus, Part II]]). With the rescue attempt now under way, Pegasus Commander [[Lee Adama]] is ordered to provide escort protection for the hiding fleet to a pre-arranged location where they will rendevous with ''Galactica'' if the rescue mission is successful, or continue the search for Earth alone if it is not. Admiral Adama then jumps ''Galactica'' to New Caprica. Once in orbit, ''Galactica'''s Raptors deploy [[swallow|decoys]], creating illusory targets that trick the Cylon's into believing they are chasing the two battlestars, scattering their fleet of basestars. Adama takes advantage of the Cylon's confusion by jumping ''Galactica'' directly into New Caprica's lower atmosphere, deploying [[Blue Squadron (RDM)|Blue Squadron]] and then jumping back into higher orbit. With Blue Squadron providing air cover, resistance fighters begin attacks on Cylon ground forces, liberate the [[New Caprica Detention Center]] and chaperone civilians to their designated ships which begin to launch and jump to the rendevous point.

Back in orbit above New Caprica, a badly damaged ''Galactica'' is surrounded by four basestars. Adama, unable to jump away and without enough time to fix the ship's damaged FTL drive, resigns himself to defeat. At this moment, Commander Lee Adama, having ignored his father's order, arrives with ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' and diverts the Cylon attack on ''Galactica'' to his own ship. ''Galactica's'' crew is able to repair the ship's FTL drive, and upon the successful return of the ship's Viper squadron, escapes to the rendezvous point.

''Pegasus'', having left its vipers to guard the escaping ships at the rendevous point, is left with no fighter cover. The battlestar is mortally damaged and Commander Adama and his skeleton crew are forced to abandon the ship. Boarding Raptors, they escape to the rendezvous point. ''Pegasus'' is sent on a collision course with one of the remaining basestars. The resulting explosion destroys another of the basestars.

==Aftermath==

While the rescue mission is considered a success, approximately 2,000 humans die during the operation and the preceding four month long occupation.

Casualties include [[Tucker Clellan|Tucker "Duck" Clellan]], one of ''Galactica's'' best Viper pilots who is driven to despair by the murder of his wife, [[Nora]] ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]), and conducts a suicide attack on the NCP ([[Occupation]]); [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen Tigh]], who is poisoned by her husband for collaborating with the Cylons; and [[Maya]], who is killed while attempting to board her escape ship with her adopted baby daughter, the human/Cylon hybrid [[Hera]]. The child survives, but without the protection of her mother is left behind and recovered by the Cylons. Knowing he cannot escape with the rest of the human population [[Gaius Baltar]] elects to leave with the Cylons, at the invitation of [[Number Three]] copy [[D'anna Biers]].

With the humans gone, and with their possession and control of the hybrid-child finally realized, the Cylons see no strategic or logical reason to remain on the planet. It is assumed that like the humans they abandon New Caprica.

{{cleanup}}

This article attempts to plot the events illustrated or mentioned in the history and prehistory of [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|the Twelve Colonies]] in the [[Re-imagined Series]].

All dates use the day of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] as the central time marker for all events in the series. Items that occur before the Fall are marked as "BCH," or "Before Cylon holocaust."

===[[Flight of the Phoenix]]===

<blockquote>The events of this episode likely occur over several weeks with the construction of the [[Blackbird]], and it was designed to have a vague timeline per the episode [[Podcast:Flight of the Phoenix|podcast]]. However, In "[[The Farm]]," Commander Adama gives Cally Henderson a 30 day sentence on Day 61, the same day he resumes command of the Fleet. It is likely that Henderson's release marks day 91. Precise date stamping is problematic regarding most other events outlined in the episode.</blockquote>

**[[Cally Henderson]] is released from the brig

===Between Days 91 and 175===

===[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]===
<blockquote>The events in this episode create a [[Season two timeline discontinuity|timeline problem]] in season 2 events. As such, most events here are not timestamped as there is no information to discern a date.</blockquote>

===[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]===
*'''Day ~175:'''<ref>The episodes "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies" state that events in the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" and the episodes immediately following it take place six months after the Cylon Attack. Ron D. Moore states in his podcast that it took Tyrol "weeks" to construct the Blackbird and a large amount of time passes in this episode as a result. While this figure was assumed to be 2 to 4 weeks, the only plausible way that "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I" can take place six months after the attack is if "Flight of the Phoenix" actually lasted three months from beginning to end. Roslin was told in this episode that her cancer had accelerated, and she had only one month to live. As Cally Henderson's "welcome back" party happened earlier in the episode, when she was released from the brig around Day 86, a considerable period of time (several weeks at least) pass between these two scenes</ref>

===[[Downloaded]]===
<blockquote>The originally aired episode contained an error in the form of a second time stamp title card which said "ten weeks ago" refereing to Boomer's death and resurrection, which placed the events of the previous episode, "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]," ten weeks prior. This was corrected to "ten weeks later" for the DVD release and subsequent airings, dating Boomer's death ten weeks after "Zero Hour", the attack on the Colonies. However, even this date may be incorrect for Boomer was killed on approximately day 53, which is just over 7.5 weeks from Zero Hour, not ten. While these inconsistencies within the episode makes the time of events problematic, given what was established before with the downloading process i.e. if not automatic it happens within a few hours at most, and even taking into account the flawed dates, [[Caprica Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] where resurrected well before the birth of [[Hera Agathon]].</blockquote>
*'''Day 1 (Flashback Zero Hour: Caprica Six is killed in a nuclear blast wave ([[Miniseries]])):'''
**Caprica-Six is [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrected]]<ref name="downloaded">As alluded to by the future [[Sharon Agathon]] in "[[Scattered]]" after [[Kara Thrace]] killed a [[Number Six]] unit in a fight in the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] on Caprica. She relates that the dead Six is downloading right now and probably reporting their position: "Her consciousness is being downloaded into another body right now. And when she wakes up, she'll tell them exactly where we are." From this we can infer that the process from death to resurrection is usually very short, measured in minutes if not seconds normally, hours at most if there are mass deaths, such as the parking garage explosion in "Downloaded" after Caprica Six killed the [[Number Three]]: "Boomer: How long till she downloads and tells them what happened? - Caprica Six: We had a lot of people in the cafe. At least 36 hours till they get to her. Long enough." These facts considered, it is a virtual certainty that Caprica Six resurrected on the same day of the attack and even more so in the case of Boomer. There likely were no deaths of other Cylons at the time of Boomer's death unlike when the Colonies were attacked and some Cylon agents deliberately stayed behind knowing they will resurrect in anycase.</ref>
*'''Day 53 (Flashback: Cally Henderson kills Sharon "Boomer" Valerii ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]])):'''
**Boomer is resurrected<ref name="downloaded"/>
*'''Precise dates to be determined:'''<ref>While the dates in this episode are contradictory, given that the second title card is most likely wrong even after the "correction", the [[Number Three]] unit's comment regarding Starbuck that "She was on Caprica a couple of weeks ago. She escaped with the help of another Sharon." could be one placement of events on Caprica in the parking garage a couple of weeks after Starbuck's escape from Caprica on day 62, making the parking garage scenes, if it could be assumed that a "couple of weeks" to be two weeks, to be roughly at day 75 and contemporary with "[[Final Cut]]". Another comment by the Three Unit earlier in the episode also provides a time frame. As they sit in the café on Caprica, just before the explosion, Caprica Six states (falsely) that Boomer asked her to help her move out of her apartment. The Three responds: "You know what? Which is what we've been asking her for weeks. I was kind of hoping that you'd see the light after talking to our friend here." "Weeks", not months or days but weeks, and that could be from two to four weeks. However, at four weeks or more than that, it would be most likely be couched in the term of a month. Boomer very likely went home to her apartment right after being resurrected on day 53 to be somewhere familiar. This time frame fits with Three's comment of Starbuck escaping a couple of weeks prior. Three's café statement would place the scene within weeks of Boomer's ressurection, aproximately three weeks earlier, again making the scenes roughly contemporary with "Final Cut". Alternatively, one could consider Number Three's comments errors, but the only thing that contradicts Three's café and garage comments is the second title card that has been proven to be mistaken once, and very likely twice.</ref>
**A [[Number Three]] "D'anna Biers" unit tasked Caprica-Six to help Boomer adjust to her Cylon nature.
**Caprica-Six and Boomer resolve to persuade the Cylons to adopt a new approach in dealing with the Colonials.
*'''Day 270:'''
**[[Hera Agathon]] born, approximately one month premature<ref>The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated from the events in [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season 1]] and during the events of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]", assuming that the [[Cylon agent]]s share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature. It is later confirmed that [[Hera]]'s birth occurred on Day 270.</ref>
**President Roslin, in secret from Admiral Adama, has Hera's death faked and the child hidden as an adoption by [[Maya]].

<blockquote>Tom Zarek states that the Fleet has been "cooped up in metal boxes for nine months" the morning after the in this episode. This date is roughly taken as Day 270, with an implied give-or-take of a couple weeks.

'''Leoben Conoy''' is a [[Cylon agent]] first encountered at [[Ragnar Anchorage]]. He fancies himself as a prophet with predilections for enlightened monotheistic religious dogma, whereas he is more likely to sow the seeds of doubt or mis-information, weaving lies in the fabric of truth and faith.

__TOC__
== Ragnar Anchorage Copy ==

Conoy is first encountered at the [[Ragnar Anchorage]], where he poses as an arms dealer. It is likely that he was assigned with the monitoring of this depot station as the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|war]] began, gaining intelligence on battlestars that visited there. Alternatively, he may have been tasked with stealing away or destroying the ammunition (or the station itself) to prevent its use by the Colonials.

Conoy is already sick from the radiation around Ragnar, suggesting he had been there for several hours before '' Galactica's'' arrival.

Conoy becomes trapped aboard the station with [[William Adama|Commander Adama]] after a warhead is accidentally detonated. As they try to find another way out of the station, Leoben reveals his true nature to Adama through conversation, initially by claiming to be something of a philosopher. Identifying Conoy as a Cylon on the point of death, Adama challenges him and learns of the Cylon's ability to transfer their consciousness to another body when dying. Only Leoben can't -- the radiation of [[Ragnar]] is interfering with his ability.

A fight ensues, during which Leoben exhibits unnatural strength and speed. Adama manages to kill Conoy by forcing his head over an outventing steam pipe then bludgeoning him to death with a [[flashlight]]. He then brings Leoben's body back to ''[[Galactica]]'' for examination. Samples from this body, when burned, revealed synthetic materials -- which permitted Adama, [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Tigh]] and Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] to deduce that Cylons could mimic humans in appearance ([[Miniseries]]).

The body is later stored in the ship's morgue ([[Flesh and Bone]]).

Later, three copies of Leoben are among the group of Cylons that rescue [[Number Five|Aaron Doral]], abandoned on Ragnar by the Colonials after Dr. Baltar fingers him as a Cylon agent, and debrief him.

== Gemenon Traveller Copy ==

[[Image:CyLeo.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Leoben moments before his execution.]]
Conoy is again encountered when a copy is found apparently stowing away aboard the ''[[Gemenon Traveller]]''. Knowing the model's ability to weave fact, fiction and outright lies into a confusing fabric of truth, half-truths and deceit, Adama wants the copy destroyed. However, he is overruled by [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]], who demands the model be interrogated.

[[Kara Thrace|Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] is assigned to interrogate Conoy aboard the ''Gemenon Traveller''. Over the course of eight hours, Conoy demonstrates his ability to confuse and mix truth with lies: he claims to have planted a nuclear device somewhere in the fleet, but will not reveal where. He also mixes what appears to be religious mumbo-jumbo with penetrating insights into Colonial philosophy and Starbuck's own past ([[Flesh and Bone]]).

While she resorts to ever-more drastic measures to obtain details on the alleged bomb's location, Starbuck finds herself being drawn into Leoben's vision of life. So much so that when Roslin orders his execution, Starbuck very much empathises with him.

Prior to his death, Conoy reveals there is no bomb, and uses a reason suggested by Starbuck in the initial stages of his interrogation: that since he is so far from other Cylon centers of influence, he cannot transmit his "soul" back to home should his body die. However, the real purpose of his mission is revealed when President Roslin arrives aboard the ''Traveller'' and he manages to whisper to her that Adama is in fact a Cylon -- thus planting a potentially dangerous seed of doubt between her and Adama.

Convinced now of the danger in keeping Conoy alive, Roslin orders him ejected from the ''Traveller's'' airlock.

Interestingly, Roslin had a premonition of Conoy's surfacing in the fleet when she had a dream about him at the time he was captured. Later, in her cabin on ''[[Colonial One]]'', she had a vision of him talking to her which prompted her decision to visit him in person - thus allowing him to complete his mission.

At the time of the dream and the vision, Roslin assumed both were the result of her using [[Chamalla]] to treat her cancer. However, both may have been the result of some form of psychic ability on the part of Conoy.

== New Caprica Copy ==
[[Image:Leobenkara.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Leoben with Kara.]]
During the Cylon invasion of [[New Caprica]] a Conoy copy slips into Kara Thrace and [[Samuel Anders]]' tent and asks the ailing Anders where Thrace is ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

This Conoy copy kidnaps Thrace and holds in an apartment located within the Cylon complex built in [[New Caprica City]], shortly after the Cylon occupation of [[New Caprica]].

Though never directly stated, it is heavily implied that this Conoy is the same Cylon previously interrogated and tortured by Thrace ([[Flesh and Bone]]). Ostensibly, the New Caprica copy of Conoy attempts to befriend her with food and politeness in a [[Wikipedia:Pygmalion (mythology)|reverse-Pygmalion]] attempt of appeasing her, and perhaps converting her to the Cylon monotheistic religion.

Conoy's attempts initially fail, and painfully. Thrace refuses his kindnesses and assaults and kills Conoy at least five times. Conoy returns each time, patiently resuming his attempts at appealing to Thrace ([[Occupation]]).

Conoy takes a dramatic tactical change and introduces Thrace to [[Kacey]], a young child appearing to be two years old. He claims that Kacey is the biological child of both him and Thrace, created using one of Thrace's ovaries, recovered from the ruins of the [[Farms|farm]] she was held in on [[Caprica]], and his genetic material. Whatever the truth of Kacey's origin, Conoy successfully uses the child to break down Thrace's resistance after the child suffers an accident that Thrace blames herself for. The Cylon surprisingly finds Thrace taking hold of his hand at Kacey's hospital bedside ([[Precipice]]).

During the [[Battle of New Caprica]], he leaves to presumably help in the attack and is forced to knock out Thrace after she attempts to find out what is going on. Kara later returns to the apartment to find Kacey and Conoy appears with Kacey. He uses Kara's frantic desire to take Kacey during the evacuation to force her to say she loves him, which she reluctantly complies. They kiss for several moments as Conoy is unaware of the knife Kara aquirred earlier. She stabs him in the stomach and kills him one final time as he collapses on the floor.

Despite Kara's bond to Kacey, it turns out the girl was simply a human child kidnapped on New Caprica. Kara discovers this when Kacey's rightful mother claims her aboard ''Galactica''. ([[Exodus, Part II]]).

== Other Copies ==

Apparently the [[Caprica Resistance]] captured and interrogated their own copy of Conoy, as [[Samuel Anders]] sarcastically quotes his philosophy to [[Kara Thrace]] ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]). This is speculation, of course.

A Leoben or two are witnessed in the background of the park and cafe scenes in "[[Downloaded]]"; however, these are played by a stand-in as Calum Keith Rennie was unavailable for the episode.

Several Leobens are seen on the Cylon baseship that [[Gaius Baltar]] wakes up on shortly after he and the Cylons flee from New Caprica. [[Caprica-Six]] tells Baltar that his model believes the hybrid model who controls the baseship is speaking the "words of God" in her endlessly incoherent diagnostic babble ([[Torn]]).

Another Leoben was recovered from the infected baseship by ''Galactica''. He was going to be part of their plan to infect the entire Cylon race with the virus spawned from the [[13th Colony]] probe. However, he and the other Cylons captured by the ''Galactica'' were executed by Karl Agathon before they were within download range of a [[Resurrection Ship]] ([[A Measure of Salvation]]).

At the standoff between Galactica and several [[basestar]]s; a Leoben states that the [[Temple of Five]] and [[Eye of Jupiter]] are far too important to be risked over the testing of Adama's bluff to nuke the planet
([[The Eye of Jupiter]]).

==Notes==
* Laura Roslin inadvertently referred to him as "Leoben ConROY" during "Flesh and Bone," which had to be edited when it was used as a sound bite in an intro segment in a subsequent episode.

*[[Wikipedia:Conoy_Township%2C_PA|Conoy]] is the name of a township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
