Revision as of 05:57, 28 December 2006

For information on the specific dating system in the Re-imagined Series, see Colonial calendar.
This article or section has been marked for cleanup and revision.
Should there be a need to discuss the merits of the claim, discuss them on the talk page.

This article attempts to plot the events illustrated or mentioned in the history and prehistory of the Twelve Colonies in the Re-imagined Series.

All dates use the day of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies as the central time marker for all events in the series. Items that occur before the Fall are marked as "BCH," or "Before Cylon holocaust."

  • 2,000 years to 52 years BCH: The Twelve Colonies grow and prosper. Each colony acts as a sovereign nation, complete with inter-colonial wars

The timeline assumes that the days shown on Caprica with Helo corresponds to the timeline on Galactica. This is supported in the season 1 finale "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II," when Starbuck travels from Galactica to Caprica and discovers Helo.

"33" through "Hand of God"[edit]

  • Day 46 - 49:

Season 2[edit]

Season 2 dates are rough guesses at best, and are complicated by the season two timeline discontinuity. Dates for the first half of the season are based on the last dates given at the end of season one.

    • Roslin reestablished as lawful President, Fleet reunified

Final Cut[edit]

  • Day 75: D'anna Biers produces a documentary aboard Galactica on the crew

Flight of the Phoenix[edit]

The events of this episode likely occur over several weeks with the construction of the Blackbird, and it was designed to have a vague timeline per the episode podcast. However, In "The Farm," Commander Adama gives Cally Henderson a 30 day sentence on Day 61, the same day he resumes command of the Fleet. It is likely that Henderson's release marks day 91. Date stamping is not possible.

References[edit]

  1. Galen Tyrol cites 4,000 years as the approximate age of the Temple. This is the oldest date noted in the Re-imagined Series timeline, but also conflicts with the prior date of Pythia and her works as described by Elosha in the season 1 episode, "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I," where she notes that the exodus of all 13 tribes occurred 2,000 years prior.
  2. Roslin states that the chair will remain open for nominations for 72 hours on the morning of Day 47, but the next episode clearly takes place the day after the victory party, and is stated to take place on Day 50.
  3. The episodes "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies" state that events in the episode "Pegasus" and the episodes immediately following it take place six months after the Cylon Attack. Ron D. Moore states in his podcast that it took Tyrol "weeks" to construct the Blackbird and a large amount of time passes in this episode as a result. While this figure was assumed to be 2 to 4 weeks, the only plausible way that "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I" can take place six months after the attack is if "Flight of the Phoenix" actually lasted three months from beginning to end. Roslin was told in this episode that her cancer had accelerated, and she had only one month to live. As Cally Henderson's "welcome back" party happened earlier in the episode, when she was released from the brig around Day 86, a considerable period of time (several weeks at least) pass between these two scenes
  4. The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated from the events in Season 1 and during the events of "Resurrection Ship, Part I", assuming that the Cylon agents share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature. It is later confirmed that Hera's birth occured on Day 270.
  5. While the time needed to get to Caprica may be considerable, the amount of fuel, rations and supplies would make it unlikely that the trip takes more than one-half day.
  6. This establishes that the rank of Major is the highest rank a Colonial soldier may have when not in command of a ship.
