Balcon used to be home to a small Colonial settlement - a small town and research centre - situated just outside of normal Colonial space. The place was remote but essential as Balcon is the location of the ruins of a long lost alien race. Not much is known about this race as the ruins have been dead a long time, but it was enough to supply the settlement with a constant stream of scientists.
Unfortunately, near the start of the war, the settlement was overrun and destroyed and now the planet is occupied by the Cylons. Like the Colonials though, the Cylons have not fortified the planet, instead, they have set up a scientific base near the location of the Colonial base and are also studying the ruins there.
