Editing Crew tally

==''Galactica''==
*In the [[Miniseries]], Adama states that he has "almost 2,000" crew on board ''{{RDM|Galactica}}''. 
*In "[[Water]]," Baltar says there are 45,265 civilians in the Fleet. Given the [[Survivor Count|total fleet population]] of 47,958 visible on Roslin's whiteboard in that episode, this means there were 2,693 military personnel in the Fleet at the time. It is unclear if this was a gaffe or a [[Continuity errors (RDM)|retcon]], but the following calculations assume the more recent figure.
**Thus, in addition to the 85 killed in the flight pod fire (Miniseries), 29 Viper pilots are lost on-screen in the first three sorties, and {{callsign|Helo}} goes MIA (all events in the Miniseries). This makes for a pre-attack total of 2,808 crew members.
**Also of note, former civilian [[Giana O'Neill]] becomes a member of [[Galen Tyrol]]'s deck gang to replace those lost during the flight pod fire {{TRS|The Plan}}. It is unknown whether or not such civilian turned non-coms are counted in Baltar's number.
*Following on from the 2,693 total in "Water," thirteen pilots are killed in "[[Act of Contrition]]". Eight are recruited to replace them, leaving a net loss of five.
*Three crewmen are killed by a suicide bomber in "[[Litmus]]".
*[[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] instructs fourteen [[nuggets]] in "[[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]," suggesting an additional six nuggets had been selected by that point. [[Lee Adama|Apollo]] alludes to a second group of trainees in "Act of Contrition".
*Four Viper pilots are killed in action during the [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid]] in "The Hand of God".
*Ten die on [[Raptor 3]] in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]," and Sharon Valerii is revealed as a Cylon agent to the Colonials.
*Eleven crew are killed in the Cylon boarding action in "[[Valley of Darkness]]".
*Four of the crew of [[Raptor 1]] die by the time the survivors are rescued in "[[Fragged]]".
*Helo returns in "[[Home, Part I]]".
*Subtracting these losses from the total given in "Water" yields no more than 2,662 crew members prior to the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''.

==''Pegasus''==
*The survivor count rises from 47,853 to 49,605 upon the arrival of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' in the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]," meaning that the second battlestar has a crew of 1,752 at that time.
*Later in that episode, Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]] relates that over 700 crew were lost during the attack. Additionally, seven crewmen are said to have been killed by [[Gina Inviere]] <ref>In "Pegasus," Lt. Thorne states that Gina killed seven people. Since only two kills are shown in "Razor," he either refers to actions before or after her arrest as well.</ref> and the ship's [[Jurgen Belzen|original XO]] was executed by Cain.
*According to "[[Razor]]" approximately 100 further casualties were incurred in the [[Battle of the Communications Relay|attack on the Cylon com relay]].
*[[Peter Laird]] and fifteen other men and women were recruited from a small civilian fleet which ''Pegasus'' encountered shortly after the Fall of the Colonies {{TRS|Resurrection Ship, Part I}}. This puts the original crew complement of ''Pegasus'' at at least 2,445. This total would be higher if ''Pegasus'' incurred additional casualties not cited above (which is almost certain).
*In "Pegasus," [[Alistair Thorne]] is killed by [[Galen Tyrol]].
*In "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]," Helena Cain and an unnamed guard are killed by Gina.
*In "[[Black Market]]," [[Jack Fisk]] is assassinated by agents of [[Phelan]].
*In "[[The Captain's Hand]]," [[Richard Bayer|Buster]] and [[Lyla Ellway|Shark]] of [[Raptor 718]], the two-man crew of [[Raptor 314]], and [[Barry Garner]] are killed. No other casualties are sustained.

==Combined Fleet==
*Four pilots from the combined fleet perish in the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]].
*[[Tough Guy]] and [[Carousel]] of [[Raptor 612]] are killed during the rescue operation in "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]," but it is unclear to which vessel their Raptor was attached.
*Given the settlement of many soldiers on New Caprica, the deaths on the planet and the subsequent destruction of ''Pegasus'', it is hard to keep accurate  track of the number of military personnel during that time and beyond.
