The number of surviving Colonial citizens and military in the fleet was provided at intervals throughout the first season on a whiteboard on ''[[Colonial One]]'', and in one instance spoken aloud in dialogue.


In the second season, this number appears in the opening credits of every episode (sometimes jokingly referred to as the "Countdown to Extinction"), and displays limited omniscience, updating itself to reflect the deaths on {{RDM|Kobol}} early in that season. This page collects the figures available thus far, cross-referenced [[Timeline (RDM)|with the timeline]].

**This contradictory wording is a writing error, but interpreting them slightly differently confirms the estimates from "[[Precipice]]":
**These numbers make it possible to confirm rough calculations made with numbers given in "[[Precipice]]":
***41,435 (Collaborators) - 38,838 = 2,597 (the military personnel in the Fleet)
***41,435 (Collaborators) - 38,838 = 2,597 (the military personnel in the Fleet)

***4,835 - 2,597 = 2,238 (in "Precipice" Lee Adama refers to roughly 2,000 civilians who escaped New Caprica)

:'''Note:''' While this number of military personnel fits with the estimate about their strength during the settlement of New Caprica, it still does not fit with the depiction of overcrowding on ''Galactica'' after the escape from the planet and the destruction of ''Pegasus'', since the battlestar was crewed with approximately 2,600 people to begin with. The number of civilians should therefore be lower.

**39,698 - A loss of [[Numerology#1701|1,701]], accounting for the ca. 600 deaths on ''[[Pyxis]]'', and ca. additional 1,100 deaths on other ships damaged during the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]], such as the ''[[Zephyr]]'' and ''[[Astral Queen]]''. The assumed dead [[Kara Thrace]] returns, presumably increasing the number by one.  [[Samuel Anders]], [[Tory Foster]], [[Saul Tigh]], and [[Galen Tyrol]] likely removed from the count upon revelation of their Cylon nature.

**39,676 - An increase of one; likely a birth in the Fleet. Sergeant [[Erin Mathias]] dies during the episode.
*'''[[Faith]]'''
**39,675 - Mathias's death is accounted for. [[Jean Barolay]] and [[Emily Kowalski]] die during the episode.
*'''[[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]'''

*'''[[Sine Qua Non]]'''

*'''[[The Hub]]'''
**39,673 - A decrease of one, possibly counting Pike's death. However, the episode takes place concurrently with "Sine Qua Non" and Pike only dies later in the episode.
*'''[[Revelations]]'''

*'''[[Blood on the Scales]]'''
** 39,603 -  A loss of 40. Probably casualties of [[Gaeta's Mutiny|Felix Gaeta and Tom Zarek's coup d'etat]]. Private [[Stewart Jaffee]] and [[Maldonaldo|Lance Corporal Maldonaldo]] are among the slain.

** 39,556 - A loss of 47, including eleven members of the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum]], [[Parr]], [[Tom Zarek]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], and other probable casualties of the coup.

** 39,556 - No change.
*'''[[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]]'''
** 39,521 - 35 casualties from the damage done to ''Galactica'' by [[Sharon Valerii|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]]'s mistimed FTL jump.  Cylon workers are among the dead but are not factored into the count.

*The detonation of a nuclear warhead on ''[[Cloud 9]]'' by the [[Number Six]] copy, [[Gina Inviere]], is the first time a ship has been destroyed since the destruction of the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]''.
*The detonation of a nuclear warhead on ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' by the [[Number Six]] copy, [[Gina]], is the first time a ship has been destroyed since the destruction of the ''[[Olympic Carrier]]''.
*The ships ''[[Adriatic]]'' and ''[[Carina]]'' are also destroyed in "[[The Passage]]," however with only skeleton crews aboard.
*The ships ''[[Adriatic]]'' and ''[[Carina]]'' are also destroyed in "[[The Passage]]", however with only skeleton crews aboard.
:*A deleted scene from "The Passage" with President Roslin broadcasting a message following the loss of the ''Carina'' indicated that they had lost four ships in the star cluster, with 46 men and 12 women aboard those ships.
*Since the end of "[[33]]", the Fleet's population has been dying off at a fairly steady rate of approximately 2.1 persons per day. At this rate, the Fleet will be completely depopulated in 62 years. If the show's failure to supply concrete dates continues during the remainder of the second season, perhaps the "[[Wikipedia:Half-life|half-life]]" of the Fleet's population can be used to "[[Wikipedia: Radiocarbon dating|carbon date]]" future episodes.
*Since the end of "[[33]]," the Fleet's population has been dying off at a fairly steady rate of approximately 2.1 persons per day. At this rate, barring the arrival of more humans such as that seen in "[[Pegasus]]," the Fleet would be completely depopulated within a few decades.  
*First season survivor counts are available from [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin's]] whiteboard aboard ''[[Colonial One]]''. Second season survivor counts are included in the opening titles, as well as the presidential whiteboard.
*In "[[The Captain's Hand]]" (roughly in the region of Day 250-60), Dr. Baltar estimated that (factoring in the arrival of ''Pegasus''), given the survivor count's current rate of decline, never increasing, the human race will simply go extinct in 18 years.  If this refers only to excess mortality, it would mean an average rate of roughly 7.5 people a day. It may be that Baltar's estimate considered more factors, such as labor shortages resulting in famine, which would complicate this model, resulting in the death rate exponentially increasing over time.
