In [[Richard Hatch]]'s continuation novels based off the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]] canon, he and his various co-authors attempt to further develop the different aspects of the Colonials, some of it based off the canonical material available, with others being created solely for the book series.

Caprica is held as the most developed of the Twelve Colonies.
 
Before being settled by those from Kobol, the [[Borellian Nomen (RH)|Borellian Nomen]] settled the planet millennia before other colonists.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Hatch|first=Richard|authorlink=Richard Hatch|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=[[Christopher Golden]]|year=1997|title=[[Armaggedon]]|publisher=Byron Preiss|pages=pgs. 40-41}}</ref>
 
{{TOS|Adama}} claims that those of the [[Kobollian|House of Kobol]] settled Caprica. Those of the Kobollian bloodline have always been leaders of Caprica, a fact which is resented by some Capricans, in addition to rearing its head after Adama dies {{RH|Armageddon}}.
