- ↑ At the time of the Cylon attack, Tyrol has "ten years experience" (TRS: "Miniseries"), and has "served on battlestars since I was 18" (TRS: "Resistance"). This puts his birth in approximately 28 BCH, allowing for a few years leeway with the first comment.
- ↑ The podcast for "Scattered" places their meeting "twenty years ago". In "Torn," Adama states that he has known Tigh for 30 years. Furthermore, Adama's dossier places his reinstatement into the Colonial Fleet at 23 BCH. Battlestar Wiki choses to use the more consistent dates.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 This date is assumed as follows: Zak died 2 BCH. Since he graduated from some kind of military academy, he would be at least 22 years old, following real world models. On a photograph of William Adama with his sons, Lee seems to be about two years older than Zak. Adama and his wife probably met not long before Lee's birth.
- ↑ This information comes from a prop used in the episode "Scattered".
- ↑ The time between Adama's and Tigh's reinstatement is not specified on screen. The February/March issue of Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine gives it as two years: "Adama reenlisted with the service and Tigh spent two years drinking before Adama pulled strings to get him back into service."
- ↑ In actually, this is Saul Tigh's entrance into the Colonial Fleet, not his return, as he did not serve in the Cylon War and all documents of his service and retirement were forged by John Cavil.
- ↑ At the time of the Cylon attack, Tyrol has "ten years experience" (TRS: "Miniseries"). It is likely that Tyrol (and the two other remaining members of the Final Five, Samuel Anders and Tory Foster), was introduced into Colonial society at or around this point by John Cavil as part of his plan for revenge on his creators, human and Cylon alike (TRS: "No Exit").
- ↑ While dialogue from "Hero" places these events at 1 BCH, this contradicts previously established dates about the time Adama and others served on Galactica. See Hero#Analysis for a detailed explanation why Battlestar Wiki chooses to treat this as a continuity error and change the date.
- ↑ Since Adama states that Tyrol has been under his commander for "over five years," this might also be one year earlier.
