Caprica is a large blue-green planet, and the only colony directly seen by viewers thus far in the Re-imagined Series.[1] According to Gaius Baltar, Caprica was the seat of politics, culture, art, science, and learning. It was also one of the wealthiest colonies (Dirty Hands).
Its largest population center is Caprica City, which served as the seat of all three branches of the Colonial Government and the capital of the Twelve Colonies. Caprica City is surrounded by other small towns and hamlets, such as Oasis.[2] Anther major city was Delphi, famous for the Delphi Museum of the Colonies and also home to a large spaceport. During the Cylon attack, the Cylons spared Delphi from nuclear bombardment in order to use it as a base of operations in their occupation of the planet (Downloaded).
The human resistance cell, led by Samuel Anders, operated near Delphi.
Caprica is known for its fine Caprican cloth (which Dr. Baltar wears), fumarella leaf, Caprican cigars and art.
A railway line can be seen below the balcony of Baltar's house on Caprica during "The Hand of God". What appear to be internal combustion engine powered vehicles, such as cars and trucks, are seen extensively in shots of Caprica.
On their treck across Caprica, Karl Agathon and Sharon Valerii explore two undestroyed and unnamed cities.
