For the canonical version of this colony, see: Caprica (RDM).

Caprica, along with its planetary capital of Caprica City, is the center for the Twelve Colonies in terms of government. It is the base of the Ministry of Defense and the seat of the president. This being the case, it is the most prosperous of the Colonies and the hub of high education and high society.

Two years prior to the Fall of the Colonies, the Cylons began abducting people in order to install Gaius Baltar as the director of the vital Command Navigation Program project (Battlestar Galactica: Origins 1).

Wildlife

Caprica was also home to a species of predators called sand cats that lived in the Great Caprican Desert. Despite a nearly successful attempt by wildlife conversationists to repopulate the species, the species died out due to a fatal genetic predisposition to lung parasites (Battlestar Galactica 2).

  1. According to the chyron, Cameronis is "near Oceania." However, this seems to be an error as Oceania is the name of a Sagittaron ship, and "Oceania" was never previously used as a city name in the comic. It is far more likely that the writer meant "Oasis," the homestead of the Tanner Estate, and that the error was not addressed in the proofing stage.
  2. Oasis is mentioned by Aaron Doral in the Miniseries. See: Oasis.
