It should also be noted that the Fleet's population was likely higher when it began its journey | It should also be noted that the Fleet's population was likely higher when it began its journey, but the events prior to the [[Battle of Carillon]] were likely a major erosion point, as Serina mentions losses of shuttle pilots and other persons {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I}}. | ||

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: | 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}}.

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. | All numbers are preceded by a tilde (~) to denote that the number is not precise.
