 A '''yahren''' is a Colonial measurement of time, analogous to an Earth '''[[Wikipedia:Year|year]]'''. The plural form is usually the same as the singular, "yahren", although "yahrens" is also used for the Colonial equivalent of "years" in some episodes.
 ==Notes==
 * Within some fan circles, a yahren is considered to be around two-thirds (2/3) the length of an Earth year, thus helping to explain the relative longevity of Colonial people compared to Terran humans; in "[[War of the Gods, Part II]]", {{TOS|Adama}} claims that the average human lifespan, "Cylons permitting," is about 200 yahren.  This reasoning is picked up in [[Richard Hatch]]'s sequel novels. The glossary of terms in the first novel, ''[[Armaggedon]]'', reads "yahren--equivalent to a year; two hundred fifty days."
 *Yahren ''might'' be based on the German word Jahren, which is pronounced the same, though it means "Years." Jahr would be the singular form.
