Amalthea Station

Established in orbit of Caprica, Amalthea Station is the primary military post in orbit of the planet and as such is off-limited to civilian traffic not on contract or escort by Colonial military units.?

During August 2153 Xindi First Strike on Caprica, Amalthea Station took heavy damage when it responded with full nuclear missile spreads in an attempt to down the Xindi weapon firing on Caprica City. A secondary shot from the probe nearly caused the station to be knocked out of its orbit and heavy damaged done to its hull.
