| === What percentage of humans survived the "Final Annihilation" and are part of the Fleet? ===
| |
| | |
| Commander Adama notes that one million people on Caprica were killed as a result of [[Karibdis]]' sabotage of Caprica's defenses {{OS|Murder on the Rising Star}}. This is implied to be the total sum of Caprica's total population, thus making the Fleet's total survivor population from Caprica ''no more'' than 1/14th of the approximately 6,000 persons. It would not be 1/12th, as one may surmise, given the following:
| |
| | |
| # The presence of [[Borellian Nomen]], who are not part of the Twelve Colonies. (Nomen consider themselves the only true humans, but that is immaterial.)
| |
| # The known acquisition of survivors from off-shoots of the Colonies, namely denizens of [[Proteus]].

| All numbers are preceded by a tilde (~) to denote that the number is not precise. The '''accountable variance''' will follow the survivor count encased in parentheses, e.g. ''(+3)'' for gains '''post-epoch''', ''(-6)'' for losses '''post-epoch''', and ''(0)'' when no change is recorded between episodes. '''Pre-epoch''' positive numbers are given to Accountable Variance from Epoch for any losses '''preceding epoch's establishment''', particularly when no gains cancel recorded losses.

| |
| : Ninety-eight percent of the seventy billion humans inhabiting the Great Colonies were killed in a matter of months. The survival rate in the outer provinces may have been much higher, but only because the Cylons have not yet given these remote areas their direct attention.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=35}}</ref>
