*While this system is similar to other science-fiction shows such as ''Star Trek'' (where carom is replaced with "mark"), the contacts in the Re-imagined Series have a measuring system with increments greater than 360 (at least upto and probably higher than 881 [http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/battlestar/season1/galactica-109.htm]), so it is assumed that some incrementation other than degrees is used. One example is the [[w:Grad (angle)|grad]], which is 1/400th of a circle, thus simplifying mental arithmetic. | *While this system is similar to other science-fiction shows such as ''Star Trek'' (where carom is replaced with "mark"), the contacts in the Re-imagined Series have a measuring system with increments greater than 360 (at least upto and probably higher than 881 [http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/battlestar/season1/galactica-109.htm]), so it is assumed that some incrementation other than degrees is used.
