==[[Flight of the Phoenix]]==

<blockquote>The events of this episode likely occur over several weeks with the construction of the [[Blackbird]], and it was designed to have a vague timeline per the episode [[Podcast:Flight of the Phoenix|podcast]]. However, In "[[The Farm]]," Commander Adama gives Cally Henderson a 30 day sentence on Day 61, the same day he resumes command of the Fleet. It is likely that Henderson's release marks day 91. Precise date stamping is problematic regarding most other events outlined in the episode.</blockquote>

==Between Days 91 and 175==

**A standoff between the two battlestars begins over the treatment of the arrested ''Galactica'' crew

==[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]==
*'''Day ~175:'''<ref>The episodes "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies" state that events in the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" and the episodes immediately following it take place six months after the Cylon Attack. Ron D. Moore states in his podcast that it took Tyrol "weeks" to construct the Blackbird and a large amount of time passes in this episode as a result. While this figure was assumed to be 2 to 4 weeks, the only plausible way that "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I" can take place six months after the attack is if "Flight of the Phoenix" actually lasted three months from beginning to end. Roslin was told in this episode that her cancer had accelerated, and she had only one month to live. As Cally Henderson's "welcome back" party happened earlier in the episode, when she was released from the brig around Day 86, a considerable period of time (several weeks at least) pass between these two scenes</ref>

==[[Downloaded]]==
<blockquote>The originally aired episode contained an error in the form of a second time stamp title card which said "ten weeks ago" referring to Boomer's death and resurrection, which placed the events of the previous episode, "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]," ten weeks prior. This was corrected to "ten weeks later" for the DVD release and subsequent airings, dating Boomer's death ten weeks after "Zero Hour", the attack on the Colonies. However, even this date may be incorrect, as Boomer is killed on approximately day 53, which is just over 7.5 weeks from Zero Hour, not ten. While these inconsistencies within the episode makes the time of events problematic, given what is established before with the downloading process and even taking into account the flawed dates, [[Caprica Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] are resurrected well before the birth of [[Hera Agathon]].</blockquote>
*'''Day 1 (flashback):'''
**Caprica-Six is killed in Baltar's house and [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrected]] soon after ([[Miniseries]]) <ref name="downloaded">As alluded to by [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Sharon]] in "[[Scattered]]" after [[Kara Thrace]] kills a [[Number Six]] in the fight in the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] on Caprica. She relates that the dead Six is downloading right now and probably reporting their position: "Her consciousness is being downloaded into another body right now. And when she wakes up, she'll tell them exactly where we are." From this it can be inferred that the process from death to resurrection is very short, usually measured in minutes if the transmission can be picked up immediately; and hours at most if there are mass deaths, such as the parking garage explosion in "Downloaded" after Caprica Six kills the [[Number Three]]: "Boomer: How long till she downloads and tells them what happened? - Caprica Six: We had a lot of people in the cafe. At least 36 hours till they get to her. Long enough." These facts considered, it is a virtual certainty that Caprica Six resurrects on the same day of the attack.</ref>
*'''Day 53 (flashback):''' Cally Henderson kills Sharon "Boomer" Valerii ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]])'''
*'''Precise dates unknown:''' <ref name="downloaded"/> <ref>
*[[Number Three]]'s comment regarding Starbuck that "She was on Caprica a couple of weeks ago. She escaped with the help of another Sharon." could be one placement of the events in the parking garage a couple of weeks after Starbuck's escape from Caprica on day 62, placing the parking garage scenes, if it could be assumed that a "couple of weeks" to be two weeks, to be roughly at day 75 and contemporary with "[[Final Cut]]".
*Another comment by Number Three also provides a time frame. As they sit in the café on Caprica, just before the explosion, Caprica Six states (falsely) that Boomer asked her to help her move out of her apartment. Three responds: "You know what? Which is what we've been asking her for weeks." "Weeks" could be from two to four weeks. However, at four weeks or more than that, it would be most likely be couched in the term of a month. Boomer likely went home to her apartment after being resurrected to be somewhere familiar. This time frame fits with Three's comment of Starbuck escaping a couple of weeks prior. Assuming that Boomer is also resurrected very soon after her death, approximately three weeks earlier, this also makes the scenes roughly contemporary with "Final Cut".
*Alternatively, one could consider Number Three's comments writing errors, but that would require a delay of about 2.5 weeks between Boomer's death and her resurrection. One possibility for that would be the time it takes a pursuing [[Resurrection Ship]] to pick up her consciousness.
</ref>
**Boomer is resurrected
**A [[Number Three]] "D'anna Biers" unit tasks Caprica-Six to help Boomer adjust to her Cylon nature.
**Caprica-Six and Boomer resolve to persuade the Cylons to adopt a new approach in dealing with the Colonials.
*'''Day 270:'''
**[[Hera Agathon]] born, approximately one month premature <ref>The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated from the events in [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season 1]] and during the events of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]", assuming that the [[humanoid Cylon]]s share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature. It is later confirmed that [[Hera]]'s birth occurrs on Day 270.</ref>
**President Roslin, in secret from Admiral Adama, has Hera's death faked and the child hidden as an adoption by [[Maya]].

==[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]==
<blockquote>Tom Zarek states that the Fleet has been "cooped up in metal boxes for nine months" the morning after the in this episode. This date is roughly taken as Day 270, with an implied give-or-take of a couple weeks. The surrounding events noted above can, however, be placed relative to this point with a good degree of certainty based on episode dialogue.</blockquote>

==[[Final Cut]]==

*'''Day 75:''' [[D'anna Biers]] produces a documentary aboard ''Galactica'' on the crew

==[[Flight of the Phoenix]]==

<blockquote>The events of this episode likely occur over several weeks with the construction of the [[Blackbird]], and it was designed to have a vague timeline per the episode [[Podcast:Flight of the Phoenix|podcast]]. However, In "[[The Farm]]," Commander Adama gives Cally Henderson a 30 day sentence on Day 61, the same day he resumes command of the Fleet. It is likely that Henderson's release marks day 91. Precise date stamping is problematic regarding most other events outlined in the episode.</blockquote>

**[[Cally Henderson]] is released from the brig

==Between Days 91 and 175==
*Laura Roslin is given a few weeks, a month at the most to live.

==[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]==
<blockquote>The events in this episode create a [[Season two timeline discontinuity|timeline problem]] in season 2 events. As such, most events here are not timestamped as there is no information to discern a date.</blockquote>

**[[Galen Tyrol|Tyrol]] accidentally kills ''Pegasus'' Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne|Thorne]] and is arrested together with [[Karl Agathon|Helo]]
**A standoff between the two battlestars begins over the treatment of the arrested ''Galactica'' crew

==[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]==
*'''Day ~175:'''<ref>The episodes "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies" state that events in the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]" and the episodes immediately following it take place six months after the Cylon Attack. Ron D. Moore states in his podcast that it took Tyrol "weeks" to construct the Blackbird and a large amount of time passes in this episode as a result. While this figure was assumed to be 2 to 4 weeks, the only plausible way that "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I" can take place six months after the attack is if "Flight of the Phoenix" actually lasted three months from beginning to end. Roslin was told in this episode that her cancer had accelerated, and she had only one month to live. As Cally Henderson's "welcome back" party happened earlier in the episode, when she was released from the brig around Day 86, a considerable period of time (several weeks at least) pass between these two scenes</ref>

**Starbuck returns from an unauthorized surveillance mission to the Cylon fleet with data on the [[Resurrection Ship]]

==[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]==

==[[Downloaded]]==
<blockquote>The originally aired episode contained an error in the form of a second time stamp title card which said "ten weeks ago" referring to Boomer's death and resurrection, which placed the events of the previous episode, "[[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]," ten weeks prior. This was corrected to "ten weeks later" for the DVD release and subsequent airings, dating Boomer's death ten weeks after "Zero Hour", the attack on the Colonies. However, even this date may be incorrect, as Boomer is killed on approximately day 53, which is just over 7.5 weeks from Zero Hour, not ten. While these inconsistencies within the episode makes the time of events problematic, given what is established before with the downloading process and even taking into account the flawed dates, [[Caprica Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] are resurrected well before the birth of [[Hera Agathon]].</blockquote>
*'''Day 1 (flashback):'''
**Caprica-Six is killed in Baltar's house and [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrected]] soon after ([[Miniseries]]) <ref name="downloaded">As alluded to by [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica-Sharon]] in "[[Scattered]]" after [[Kara Thrace]] kills a [[Number Six]] in the fight in the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] on Caprica. She relates that the dead Six is downloading right now and probably reporting their position: "Her consciousness is being downloaded into another body right now. And when she wakes up, she'll tell them exactly where we are." From this it can be inferred that the process from death to resurrection is very short, usually measured in minutes if the transmission can be picked up immediately; and hours at most if there are mass deaths, such as the parking garage explosion in "Downloaded" after Caprica Six kills the [[Number Three]]: "Boomer: How long till she downloads and tells them what happened? - Caprica Six: We had a lot of people in the cafe. At least 36 hours till they get to her. Long enough." These facts considered, it is a virtual certainty that Caprica Six resurrects on the same day of the attack.</ref>
*'''Day 53 (flashback):''' Cally Henderson kills Sharon "Boomer" Valerii ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]])'''
*'''Precise dates unknown:''' <ref name="downloaded"/> <ref>
*[[Number Three]]'s comment regarding Starbuck that "She was on Caprica a couple of weeks ago. She escaped with the help of another Sharon." could be one placement of the events in the parking garage a couple of weeks after Starbuck's escape from Caprica on day 62, placing the parking garage scenes, if it could be assumed that a "couple of weeks" to be two weeks, to be roughly at day 75 and contemporary with "[[Final Cut]]".
*Another comment by Number Three also provides a time frame. As they sit in the café on Caprica, just before the explosion, Caprica Six states (falsely) that Boomer asked her to help her move out of her apartment. Three responds: "You know what? Which is what we've been asking her for weeks." "Weeks" could be from two to four weeks. However, at four weeks or more than that, it would be most likely be couched in the term of a month. Boomer likely went home to her apartment after being resurrected to be somewhere familiar. This time frame fits with Three's comment of Starbuck escaping a couple of weeks prior. Assuming that Boomer is also resurrected very soon after her death, approximately three weeks earlier, this also makes the scenes roughly contemporary with "Final Cut".
*Alternatively, one could consider Number Three's comments writing errors, but that would require a delay of about 2.5 weeks between Boomer's death and her resurrection. One possibility for that would be the time it takes a pursuing [[Resurrection Ship]] to pick up her consciousness.
</ref>
**Boomer is resurrected
**A [[Number Three]] "D'anna Biers" unit tasks Caprica-Six to help Boomer adjust to her Cylon nature.
**Caprica-Six and Boomer resolve to persuade the Cylons to adopt a new approach in dealing with the Colonials.
*'''Day 270:'''
**[[Hera Agathon]] born, approximately one month premature <ref>The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated from the events in [[Season 1 (2004-05)|Season 1]] and during the events of "[[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]", assuming that the [[humanoid Cylon]]s share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature. It is later confirmed that [[Hera]]'s birth occurrs on Day 270.</ref>
**President Roslin, in secret from Admiral Adama, has Hera's death faked and the child hidden as an adoption by [[Maya]].

==[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]==
<blockquote>Tom Zarek states that the Fleet has been "cooped up in metal boxes for nine months" the morning after the in this episode. This date is roughly taken as Day 270, with an implied give-or-take of a couple weeks. The surrounding events noted above can, however, be placed relative to this point with a good degree of certainty based on episode dialogue.</blockquote>

CapricaMike: It said the 13th Tribe left 1,600 years before the others, but they left 4,000 BCH, which makes it 2,000 years. The book of Pythia was recorded at 3,600 BCH, maybe thats how the mistake was made

'''Kobol''' is described as the ancestral homeworld for humanity in the [[Sacred Scrolls]]. An unexplained event or environmental catastrophe caused humanity to leave Kobol and settle on the planets that form their new homeworlds known as the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies of Kobol]].

Kobol is a verdant world of seas and continents, the latter having large areas of woodland, grassland and forests. If an environmental crisis caused mankind's exodus, the planet appears to have recovered.

The seat of power of Kobol resided in the [[City of the Gods]] in the northern hemisphere, itself dominated by the [[Forum]], [[Temple]] and [[Opera House]] ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]), structures which were duplicated on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] in the city of [[Delphi]]. It is said that humans lived there in harmony with the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|Lords of Kobol]].

==Great Exodus==
The Great Exodus of the Twelve Tribes from Kobol took place some 2,000 years prior to the events of the [[Miniseries]]. At that time, the Twelve Tribes [[Galleon Meadow|departed Kobol]] for another star system.

It is written in the [[Sacred Scrolls]] that the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] departed Kobol some 2,000 years prior to the main exodus ([[Miniseries]]), to seek a planet known as [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] <ref>[[Galen Tyrol]]'s report on the age of the [[Temple of Five]] at around 4,000 years old ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]) is generally accurate. The Thirteenth Tribe allegedly left approximately 4,000 years prior to the events of the [[Miniseries]]. The Twelve Tribes (which form the Colonies) left much later, at 2,000 years prior to the Miniseries.</ref>.

The gods appear to have abandoned Kobol as well, but their time of departure is not known. It is unclear whether all the gods themselves departed Kobol with their worshippers, although the Sacred Scrolls indicate that [[Athena, Lord of Kobol|Athena]] commits suicide in sorrow at the human exodus, suggesting that one or more gods or humans remained to record the death before [[Tomb of Athena|entombing Athena]] and leaving themselves.

==Religious Texts==
During the time humans lived on Kobol, many texts were written, some of which have survived through time, and are regarded by some as religious artifacts, and by others the documenting of myths and legends. These texts have been collected into a tome known as the [[Sacred Scrolls]].

Chief among these writings include the Book of [[Pythia]] who, some 1,600 years prior to the Great Exodus, foretold another exodus featuring a "caravan of the heavens" lead by someone dying of a "wasting disease" ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]). This exodus would lead humanity to a new home, although the leader would die before he/she could enter the new home.

Some of the writings of Pythia have apparently come true: President [[Laura Roslin]], the civil leader of the Colonial fleet is dying of cancer at the presumed fulfillment of the prophecy ([[Home, Part II]]). Further, Roslin has several [[Chamalla|visions]], including one of 12 snakes ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]), a vision specifically foretold by Pythia.

According to an [[Virtual beings|virtual image of Number Six]] that appears to [[Gaius Baltar]], the Cylons have very different beliefs about Kobol, including that human sacrifice was practiced there, and that the souls of all who die on Kobol are forever lost ("[[Valley of Darkness]]", "[[Fragged]]"). With the nature of "virtual Six" unclear, this information may be a falsehood.

==Rediscovering Kobol==
Its location is unknown until it is found by the Fleet, when ''[[Galactica]]'' dispatches Raptors to locate planets which may provide materials needed to re-supply the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] and one of them finds the planet by chance. However, Cylon forces are already present in the system, which Colonial star charts place it in [[Sector 218]] of the galaxy ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).

Following the discovery (as predicted by the [[humanoid Cylon]] [[Leoben Conoy]]) as well as her own [[Chamalla|prescient visions]], Roslin becomes convinced that Kobol will lead the fleet to Earth, providing the [[Tomb of Athena]] can be found. To do this, priest [[Elosha]] notes that the [[Arrow of Apollo]] must be retrieved from the [[Delphi Museum of the Colonies]] on Caprica.

Against Commander [[William Adama|Adama's]] military orders, Roslin begins a quest to retrieve the Arrow, leading to her arrest ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]). She [[Resistance|later escapes]] and leads a third of the Fleet to Kobol (with the [[The Farm|retrieved Arrow]]) to begin the search for the Tomb ([[Home, Part I]])

A scouting team sent to Kobol is ambushed by Cylon forces. The survivors manage to escape further Cylon assault after a [[SAR]] mission ([[Fragged]]).

Commander Adama later joins Roslin's expedition and soon find the Tomb of Athena. They are the first people to see the inside of the Tomb in centuries, and use the Arrow to activate a holographic map display which indicated the general direction of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] ([[Home, Part II]]).

==Notes==

*Much of the scenic, expansive landscapes of Kobol were filmed at [http://www.spacesfornature.org/greatspaces/pinecone.html Widgeon Slough], the largest freshwater marsh in the the Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, British Columbia, Port Coquitlam (Source in part: [[The Official Companion]]).
*In the original [[Miniseries]] script, the Twelve Colonies actually resided ''on'' Kobol. The final script returned Kobol to its status as birthplace of mankind, with humanity having left to other habitable worlds to match the premise of the Original Series.
