For information on the specific dating system in the Re-imagined Series, see Colonial calendar.


This article attempts to plot the events illustrated or mentioned in the history and prehistory of the Twelve Colonies in the Re-imagined Series.

All dates use the day of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies as the central time marker for all events in the series. Items that occur before the Fall are marked as "BCH", or "Before Cylon holocaust".

  • 3,600 years BCH: Pythia records her prophecies
  • 2,000 years BCH: The remaining Twelve Tribes leave Kobol

  1. Galen Tyrol cites 4,000 years as the approximate age of the temple. This is the oldest date noted in the Re-imagined Series timeline, but also conflicts with the prior date of Pythia and her works as described by Elosha in the season 1 episode, "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I," where she notes that the exodus of all 13 tribes occurred 2,000 years prior.
