"Camp Oil Slick", later referred to as "Dogsville", is a nickname given to the temporary lodging set up on a part of the otherwise unused starboard hangar deck for displaced civilians rescued from New Caprica. These civilians originally hailed from ships in the Fleet that were dismantled for resources during New Caprica's colonization, are currently unable to shelter them, or otherwise unusable. Julia Brynn and her daughter Kacey and her mother are among some of the civilians living aboard Galactica (Torn).
The remnants of Camp Oil Slick are later converted to a living area for refugees, in order to address the population concerns of the Fleet. Dogsville's "mayor" is Captain Karl Agathon, who accepts the post after Colonel Saul Tigh resumes his old post as Galactica's Executive Officer. Initially, medical treatment was addressed by Doctor Michael Robert, before Robert is discovered as having killed numerous Sagittarons under his treatment both in Dogsville and in the medical center on New Caprica (The Woman King).
Several people living in Dogsville, among them Daniel Noon, are conscripted to work on the refinery ship Daru Mozu after its crew goes on strike due to bad working conditions, and Galen Tyrol negotiates for worker rotations to relieve the people there (Dirty Hands).
After having strange dreams about Leoben Conoy, Kara Thrace visits the oracle Yolanda Brenn in Dogsville (Maelstrom).
