- In "Armaggedon", grog is an alcoholic beverage as well, but is similar to rum.

- In the novel, this is a term for an engine aboard a starship.
Differences
- centari: equivalent to nearly one minute; one hundred microns
- centon: equivalent to nearly one hour; one hundred centari
- cubit: the cubit is said to be made from oregg, although this is never mentioned in the series
- micron: equivalent to a fraction of a second; 1/100th of a centari

Notes
- With the numbers given, there is a noted disconnect between Earth time and Colonial time. For instance, someone living 100 yahren (2,500 weeks) in Colonial time would be only be 48 Earth years old. This explains why the Colonials appear to have a longer lifespan, as Adama noted that the Colonial lifespan was 200 yahren (96 Earth years).
