It has been one year since the Cerberus Disaster, which marked a tragic end to the golden city of Caprica. Once a shining example of modern city life, a deadly explosion at the city's nuclear Cerberus Reactor saw the great capital of the Zodiac Nation reduced to an abandoned toxic wasteland. Though it's towering skyscrapers still stand, it's poisoned land makes even the shortest exposure to the area potentially deadly, and today the city remains abandoned.

With all transport links to the city severed indefinitely after the disaster, the city has been left undisturbed, and the jungle on which it was built has slowly started to take back what was hers.

To commemorate the anniversary of the city's final days, the Zodiac Nation brings you rare images of Caprica as she stands today. Let us never forget our fallen sister, or those who perished with her on that fateful day.

The explosion and the demise of Caprica was the final chapter of the zodiac living story, which I ran whilst I was active on the server. It was basically a story which slowly unfolded here on the forums, and was represented in-game by changes in my towns.
