It was the largest city on Caprica, and the civil administration centre for the planet and Twelve Colonies as a whole, home to the exectuive, legislative and judicial branches of government. It was also home to the Colonial Defense Mainframe.
A large spaceport linked the city with the rest of the Twelve Colonies, while the hills behind the city provided secluded living space for the well-off among the population, such as Doctor Gaius Baltar. It was surrounded by a number of smaller hamlets, such as Oasis (Mini-Series).
It was completely depopulated by a Cylon nuclear detonation in the Cylon attack and occupied by Cylon forces, who established a military presence and disposed of the human corpses left behind. Its buildings and infrastructure were left mostly intact.
