<p>Neal richter: </p> <hr /> <div>''For the Video Game's &quot;New Caprica&quot;, see [[New Caprica (Video Game)]].''<br /> <br /> '''New Caprica''' is the name given to the harsh but fairly habitable planet found by [[The Fleet (RDM)|The Fleet]]. It was discovered by [[Racetrack]] by mere happenstance -- after the [[Raptor]] she was in [[FTL|Jumped]] to the wrong coordinates.<br /> <br /> Due to the surrounding nebulae, [[DRADIS]] is rendered practically useless -- an attribute which made the planet prime for colonization by [[the Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]]'s survivors. With this news, and unable to continue jumping to Caprica, Racetrack jumped back to ''[[Galactica]]'', providing information and sensor readings on the planet. <br /> <br /> The planet later becomes a galvanizing issue which [[Tom Zarek]] believes -- and believes correctly -- would swing the vote Baltar's way ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]).<br /> <br /> Due to Baltar's ascension to the presidency, he ordered the colonization of the planet. Settling on the planet, the major population center on New Caprica became [[New Caprica City]], which itself is populated by 3,000+ survivors.<br /> <br /> Eventually, due to the detonation of a nuclear warhead (provided by Baltar to the Number Six copy called [[Gina]]) the Cylons detected the resultant radiation phenomenon by chance one year later, and one light-year away. After jumping to New Caprica the Cylons find the humans and humanity's traitor-turned-president some 380 days into Baltar's presidency ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]). The remnants of the fleet jump away to an unknown location while Balter surrenders.<br /> <br /> [[Category:A to Z]]<br /> [[Category:Planets]]<br /> [[Category:RDM]]</div>
