New Caprica Police: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:31, 29 October 2006

Because the Cylon occupation of New Caprica leads to numerous security restrictions and heightened levels of control and repression on the planet, a band of human resistance fighters, regarded by the Cylons as insurgents, begins to strike back against the occupying Cylon army. This leads to the formation of The New Caprica Police (NCP), humans who either volunteer or are coerced into working for the Cylon authority. Wearing black ski masks, blue body armor, and green uniforms with white armbands, The New Caprica Police are considered traitors to the human race and are regarded with both disgust and disdain by the majority of the planet’s human civilization. The NCP is often tasked with performing "dirty work" for the Cylons, rounding up both suspects believed to be part of the Resistance as well as innocent civilians who are often illegally imprisoned, beaten and executed.

The most significant damage the resistance inflicts on the NCP comes when the group is infiltrated by Tucker "Duck" Clellan, a member of the insurgency driven to a suicidal depression by the death of his partner, Nora, who had been killed during a Cylon attack on a makeshift place of worship used by the humans.

"Duck" is wired with and detonates an explosive device in a suicide-bomber attack during the graduation ceremonies of a New Caprica Police Academy class of two hundred cadets and VIP guests Occupation. Casualties included thirty-three cadets and numerous Cylons.

Note

The recruiting poster seen in Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance depicts a man in black clothing, despite all police seen on duty being dressed as above.
