Tiphares

The name Tiphares actually refers to a massive sub-orbital complex created by an unknown race that circles the planet Caprica.

Notable Places
Ketheres is a compound that floats close to the planet's surface and contains the dust vents from which it disposes of un-needed components. Before the Barjack Rebellion, it also housed a tether factory which acted as a hub for Scrapyard residents to trade rubbish for necessary sustenance and building materials. Seemingly created by a Matter Furnace. Now, small craft ferry those supplies down to the settlement below.

Orbital Elevator connects Ketheres to an orbital waystation and then to Tiphares high above, no human or otherwise has been known to use it. Access is only allowed to the emotionless androids (know as Governors) which served as liaisons in the tether factory.

Tiphares is known to Caprica denizens as the "Floating City" while it contains pure white buildings and architecture no signs of life are found.
