The Caprica Interplanetary Spaceport at night.

The Caprica Interplanetary Spaceport, also known as Trojan Spaceport, was a facility located within Caprica City, Caprica. It provided off-world flights to locations within the Twelve Worlds including destinations to Picon, Gemenon, and Tauron. The spaceport's official abbreviation was CCX (CAP: "End of Line," "Retribution").

Members of the Soldiers of the One cell led by Barnabas Greeley, including Pann, Hippolyta and Lacy Rand, attempted to bomb the facility. The terror attack, however, was botched when Rand was caught by a spaceport security guard who was promptly shot by Pann. Unable to plant their explosives in time, the three STO fled in a getaway car driven by Keon Gatwick. The Caprican Global Defense Department was tasked with investigating the incident, with Agent Jordan Duram suspecting Sister Clarice Willow's involvement (CAP: "Retribution").

The Caprica Interplanetary Spaceport was filmed at Simon Fraser University in Surrey, British Columbia. Photos of the location show set dressings labeling the port as "Caprica Inter-Colonial Spaceport". [1] The computer-generated exterior included architecture from the Incheon International Airport in South Korea.
Several ships bearing identical or near-identical configurations to ships seen in Battlestar Galactica appear docked at the spaceport. Among them were luxury liners of the same design as the Olympic Carrier and a passenger ship bearing a striking resemblance to Colonial One. A Phoenix-type jet, unique to Caprica, was also visible in the exterior shot of CCX.
