===[[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.

**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" refereing 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 for Boomer was 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 was established before with the downloading process i.e. if not automatic it happens within a few hours at most, and even taking into account the flawed dates, [[Caprica Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] where resurrected well before the birth of [[Hera Agathon]].</blockquote>
*'''Day 1 (Flashback Zero Hour: Caprica Six is killed in a nuclear blast wave ([[Miniseries]])):'''
**Caprica-Six is [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrected]]<ref name="downloaded">As alluded to by the future [[Sharon Agathon]] in "[[Scattered]]" after [[Kara Thrace]] killed a [[Number Six]] unit in a 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 we can infer that the process from death to resurrection is usually very short, measured in minutes if not seconds normally, hours at most if there are mass deaths, such as the parking garage explosion in "Downloaded" after Caprica Six killed 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 resurrected on the same day of the attack and even more so in the case of Boomer. There likely were no deaths of other Cylons at the time of Boomer's death unlike when the Colonies were attacked and some Humanoid Cylons deliberately stayed behind knowing they will resurrect in anycase.</ref>
*'''Day 53 (Flashback: Cally Henderson kills Sharon "Boomer" Valerii ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]])):'''
**Boomer is resurrected<ref name="downloaded"/>
*'''Precise dates to be determined:'''<ref>While the dates in this episode are contradictory, given that the second title card is most likely wrong even after the "correction", the [[Number Three]] unit'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 events on Caprica in the parking garage a couple of weeks after Starbuck's escape from Caprica on day 62, making 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 the Three Unit earlier in the episode 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. The Three responds: "You know what? Which is what we've been asking her for weeks. I was kind of hoping that you'd see the light after talking to our friend here." "Weeks", not months or days but weeks, and that 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 very likely went home to her apartment right after being resurrected on day 53 to be somewhere familiar. This time frame fits with Three's comment of Starbuck escaping a couple of weeks prior. Three's café statement would place the scene within weeks of Boomer's ressurection, aproximately three weeks earlier, again making the scenes roughly contemporary with "Final Cut". Alternatively, one could consider Number Three's comments errors, but the only thing that contradicts Three's  café and garage comments is the second title card that has been proven to be mistaken once, and very likely twice.</ref>
**A [[Number Three]] "D'anna Biers" unit tasked 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 occurred 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>

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.
