New Caprica is the name given to a relatively desolate but habitable planet in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica
series.

New Caprica is named in honor of Caprica, one of the original Twelve Colonies. It was accidentally discovered in a region of space whose electromagnetic radiation makes surveying difficult.

Later, the planet was settled by the civilian population of the fleet under the leadership of President Gaius Baltar, despite the military's reservations at doing so.

Just over one year after settlement, a Cylon fleet who had, over a light year away, detected signs of a nuclear explosion (itself actually a Cylon suicide bombing) arrived at the planet and promptly occupied it (the military patrol guarding New Caprica, undermanned and heavily outnumbered, chose to jump away rather than attempt a suicidal defense).

Baltar surrendered to the Cylon forces, who occupy the human settlements with a strong military presence (although it seems likely that Starbuck and Galen Tyrol will attempt to organize a resistance movement).

Notable Citizens of New Caprica include:
