It provides off-world flights to locations within the Twelve Worlds including destinations to Picon, Caprica, and Tauron. The spaceport's official abbreviation is UTGX (CAP: "Blowback").
In 58 BCH (42YR), Lacy Rand and Odin Sinclair arrive here from their respective colonies. They are met by Diego, who leads them to the jump ship headed to the Monotheist Church enclave (CAP: "Things We Lock Away" and "Blowback").
Notes
- The Gemenon Interplanetary Spaceport interiors were filmed at the Vancouver Public Library in Vancouver, British Columbia.
- While not stated in dialogue, the spaceport's name, Oranu Spaceport, is seen on the flight notice boards in "Blowback."
