Dates use the day of the Cylon Holocaust as a baseline. See also Survivor Count, History of the Twelve Colonies.

Ancient History

  • -3600 Years: Pythia records her prophecies.
  • -2000 Years: The thirteen tribes leave Kobol: twelve for the star system containing the Twelve Colonies, the other for Earth. The Twelve Colonies are first settled. As a result of their exodus, the refugee settlers enter into a new dark age during which much of their past knowledge of history and technology is lost.
  • ~2000 Years to -52 Years: Over the next few centuries the Twelve Colonies recover, then thrive, and eventually start competing with each other in various wars and shifting alliances, which had been going on since several hundred years before the Re-Imagined Series begins.

Thrace lands her Heavy Raider aboard the Astral Queen and is reunited with President Roslin and Lee Adama. Lee learns that in addtion to Karl Agathon, Thrace brought back the Caprican copy of Sharon Valerii, whereupon Lee pulls a gun on Sharon.

Season two timeline discontinuity

Main article: Season two timeline discontinuity

Based on various evidence, the end of "Resistance" can be very firmly dated to Day 54. This puts Cally's release at Day 84, and in turn means that as of "Flight of the Phoenix", Roslin was not expected to live past day 114. Corroborating this, Sharon Valerii does not appear visibly pregnant in "Pegasus".

However, in the following episode, Admiral Cain states offhandedly that it has been about six months since the fall of the colonies. This is further corroborated in "Epiphanies", which we learn takes place 189 days after the holocaust (a full 75 days longer than Roslin's most favorable prognosis). Additionally, Valerii now appears to be well into her second trimester, and elections have been put off by 75 days from their first-season projections.

There is apparently no way to reconcile this discrepancy. Even under the most liberal assumptions, the first half of the second season timeline cannot accommodate more than about three additional days.

Consequently, there is a 75-day discontinuity between the fist and second halves of season two. The second half of the season is dated from the firm dates given in "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies", but be aware that dates throughout the remainder of season 2 are likely to contradict those from earlier in the series.

Season 2.5

Dates not specific to episodes

Resurrection Ship, Part I

  • Day ~175 - The standoff between the two battlestars ends in an uneasy truce, and a tense summit aboard Colonial One, after Lt. Thrace returns from an unauthorized surveillance mission to the Cylon fleet, where she gains critical evidence on a Cylon ship. Dr. Baltar is able to determine from Gina that this is the Resurrection Ship that cylons need to resurrect so far from the Cylon homeworld.

Resurrection Ship, Part II

  • Day ~177 - The Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus together engage the Cylon fleet in the Battle of the Resurrection Ship, where they achieve an overwhelming victory with relatively light casualties, destroying not only the Resurrection Ship, but at least one other Cylon base star. The Blackbird is destroyed in the battle, although Lee Adama manages to eject successfully. At least one Raptor is also lost in the battle. Admiral Cain is killed by Gina, after Baltar helps her escape captivity. He then proceeds to hide her in the fleet.

Epiphanies

  • Day 189 - President Roslin near death; orders death of Cylon fetus. A Cylon peace movement begins to pose as a threat to the Fleet. The Cylon fetus is eventually spared, when Dr. Baltar determines how to use Cylon fetal stem cells to treat Roslin's cancer. Dr. Baltar smuggles the nuclear weapon that he was provided with for work on his Cylon detector to the Cylon peace movement aboard Cloud Nine.

Scar

  • Day ??? - After 29 days in an asteroid field (putting us at Day 218 or later), the Majahual's mining operation has produced enough raw materials for the construction of two new Viper squadrons using the fabrication facilities aboard the Battlestar Pegasus. Attacks on the operation continue by the ace Cylon raider known as Scar, making it the source of a heated competition between Lt. Katraine and Cpt. Thrace.

Sacrifice

  • c. Day 210 - Three men and a woman named Sesha Abinell lay siege to bar onboard Cloud 9, taking the guests hostage, and sealing the area off from the rest of the ship. Abinell's husband was killed aboard the Greenleaf when the Cylons attacked it ten weeks ago, and she decides to exact vengeance. Lee Adama is wounded as a result of a failed rescue attempt by Kara Thrace

  • Day 270 (Zero Hour + 9 months) - Hera born, approximately one month premature. She survives, but the military and civilian leadership arrange for its death to be faked in order to throw off Cylon infiltrators such as Gina and D'anna Biers. Galen Tyrol accompanies Karl Agathon as he scatters what he believes to be his daughter's ashes from a Raptor. Hera is adopted by Maya, who will later rename the child "Isis".
  • Caprica-Six and Boomer, both reincarnated on Caprica shortly after their respective deaths, are introduced by a copy of Number Three. The three, along with Samuel Anders, are caught in an explosion set by members of the Caprica Resistance. Caprica-Six kills Three and releases Anders; Caprica-Six and Boomer resolve to persuade the Cylons to adopt a new approach in dealing with the Colonials.

The originally aired version of this episode contained an error which placed the previous episode "Resistance" "10 weeks before" this one. This was corrected for the DVD release and subsequent airings.

Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I

  • c. Day 256 - Galen Tyrol begins a series of recurring suicidal nightmares.
  • c. Day 269 - Presidential debates begin. Kara Thrace, Felix Gaeta and Lee Adama brief pilots on Caprica SAR mission on Pegasus. Tyrol attacks Cally after being woken from a nightmare.

  • c. Day 283 - Polls open (projected).

Tom Zarek states that the fleet has been "cooped up in metal boxes for nine months" the morning after the debates. 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.

Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II

  • Day 281 - Thrace's SAR team and Anders' resistance are pinned down by a Cylon sneak attack. They are under siege for 18 hours, the next morning they awake to find the Cylons have completely abandoned Caprica.

Between Season 2.5 and The Resistance

Note: It is unclear when Kara was taken, but finding her was clearly Conoy's first order of business.

Note: Samuel Anders is clearly a resistance leader by the episode "Occupation", but he is not seen during "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance". His character background suggests that he would have been a founder or early member of the resistance, but we must also presume it took him at least some time to recover from his illness.

Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance

  • c. Day 727 (447th day since settlement, 67th day of occupation) - Evening: Tyrol and Tigh have been organizing a budding resistance movement, but they find recruiting new soldiers is becoming dangerous and difficult. New Capricans are shot on the spot if weapons are found in their tents. The Cylons are also setting up a human police force to take over for the Cylon Centurions, who are doing most of the police work.
  • Day 728?: - Due to personal reasons Duck has refused to work with the resistance, much to the ire of Tyrol. A ritual for protection of the crops from blight is said in the temple. As the priestess leaves, Jean Barolay abruptly shifts the conversation to the movement of the weapons stash into the temple; Jammer strongly objects, but he is overruled by Tigh. Later in the day, Duck tells Nora his decision about joining the resistance. She is pleased that he refused Tyrol. During the night, Tigh, Tyrol, Jammer, and Barolay move the weapons into the temple disguising them.
  • Day 729?: - Nora wakes Duck saying he will be late to work. She tries to convince him to go to temple after work with her. He refuses, saying he talks to the gods in his own way. Later in the day, Cally and Nora are visiting the temple. A Number Five announces that he will enter the temple with several Cylon Centurions. Several men try to block them, but the Cylons force their way in and gunfire can be seen and heard. While trying to run away Cally falls to the ground protecting her baby, but Nora is shot and killed when she tries to retrieve her bag. Afterwards Tyrol, Cally and Jammer return Nora's bag to Duck, and inform him about the death of Nora. Duck is physically sickened by the news. He becomes angry and demands to know if there were weapons in the temple. Tyrol tries to avoid the question, but Duck doesn't relent until Tyrol admits the truth. At that point, Duck orders them out of his tent.
  • Day 732?: - Tigh, Barolay, and Jammer discuss the effects of the attack, which has brought about positive effects for the resistance. The general population has started to side with the resistance and 1,000 people protested outside Colonial One over the attack on the temple. Since the attack, recruitment has become easier with 150 Colonials signing up. Tigh thinks that this was a good deal because the loss of a few weapons was worth the propaganda victory. However, Jammer is upset that the loss of 10 lives was not worth it. Tigh comes down hard on Jammer, stating that people die in war, nice people, and the resistance has no room for crybabies.
  • Day 73_?: - Tyrol and Tigh discuss the arrest of Jammer by the Cylons. Tyrol insists that Jammer won't reveal the work of the resistance. Jammer is imprisoned in a Cylon detention center and is visited by a Number Five. Number Five proposes to Jammer that the massacre at the temple may have been planned by the Resistance. Number Five offers Jammer the chance to stop further bloodshed by informing him of potentially life-threatening actions by the Resistance. Jammer balks at becoming a traitor to the Resistance, but accepts a key card which will let him enter the detention center to report any secret plans of the Resistance.

Between The Resistance and Season 3.0

  • Saul Tigh is captured by the Cylons and detained. One of his eyes is literally ripped out by the Cylons.
  • Jammer and Duck enlist with the New Caprica Police.

Season 3.0

Occupation

  • c. Day 794 (514th day since settlement, 134th day of occupation): Thrace kills a Leoben and Colonel Tigh is released.
  • c. Day 795 - morning: Duck commits to the suicide mission, Gaeta secretly provides the jamming frequencies, communication is established with Racetrack's Raptor, and Duck executes the suicide bombing.

Precipice

  • c. Day 795 - evening: Arguably, the introductory scene with Roslin in a cell takes place during the evening on the same day that the bombing occurred. An announcment that a curfew is in effect suggests that the time is between 1900 and 2200, since that is customarily when militaries impose cufews. The NCP raid the tents of and capture numerous suspected resistance members.
  • c. Day 796 - morning & midday: Chief Tyrol talks to Gaeta about Cally, Leoben introduces Kasey, the suicide woman damages the power substation, the Cylon conference forces Baltar to sign the execution order, Ellen Tigh steals the map, Roslin and others are detained, the trucks are driven to the Pergamus Flats, and Sharon Agathon's contingent lands.

Exodus, Part I

  • c. Day 796 - midday & evening: Tyrol's group ambush the firing squad, the marines save Agathon and the resistance group, a Number Three dreams of Hera, and Caprica Six talks to Baltar about her feelings.
  • c. Day 797: Starbuck apologizes to Kasey and the Number Three visits the Oracle. The resistance's final planning and coordination is not shown but must take the entire day--similarly, what are the Cylons doing? Certainly they must be doing something the day after their execution fails and all the resistance members are free?--the next scene on New Caprica after the Oracle's scene is the Number Three talking to Dr. Cottle in the evening.
  • c. Day 798 - morning & midday: The Cavil killed by Tyrol's ambush returns to Colonial One, introducing the question of whether it takes two days to download. Anders talks with Roslin about Hera's protection, Agathon infiltrates into the facility and obtains the launch keys. Ellen Tigh is exposed. Admiral Adama gives "the speech."

Exodus, Part II

  • c. Day 798 - afternoon: Ellen Tigh voices her final oratory, and the resistance's bombs initiate the Battle of New Caprica, soon joined by the battlestars. Galactica afterward conducts a link-up with other ships, involving many emotional reunions, and Admiral Adama finally shaves.

Collaborators

  • c. Day 800 (Day 3 of the Second Exodus) - James "Jammer" Lyman, and 12 others before him are executed by The Circle for being Cylon collaborators. Gaius Baltar awakens aboard a Cylon basestar for the first time after fleeing New Caprica. President Tom Zarek meets with Laura Roslin aboard Colonial One, Zarek promises to name Roslin as his Vice President then resign. Samuel Anders resigns from The Circle citing personal issues, his wife Kara Thrace replaces him. Felix Gaeta is tried and convicted by The Circle, he is abducted and taken to Galactica’s flight pod for execution but is spared by Col. Tigh and Chief Tyrol. President Roslin abolishes The Circle and immediately pardons all those suspected of collaboration.

Past Predictions

The following is a list of predictions that were made based off information from past episodes during the first run of the series. These predictions have since become obsolete or the events have been addressed in light of events from episodes aired after said predictions were made. They are kept here as a reference.

Notes

  • The above day listings use a simplistic calendar system with 30 day months and no leap years. The colonial calendar may be more sophisticated.
  • The date of Valerii and Agathon's child is speculated from the events in Season 1 and during the events of "Resurrection Ship, Part I", assuming that the Cylon agents share the same gestation period that humans do, and that the birth of their hybrid daughter is not premature.
    • Date of Hera's birth is now confirmed at Day 270.
  • Later episodes in "Season 2.5" such as "Resurrection Ship, Part I" and "Epiphanies" state clearly that "Pegasus" and the episodes immediately following it take place six months after the Cylon Attack. Ron D. Moore did state that it took Tyrol "weeks" to construct the Blackbird and a large amount of time passes in this episode as a result. BattlestarWiki originally assumed this meant at most 2-4 weeks. However, 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'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.
