Yahren

Measurement of time

In the original Battlestar Galactica, "yahren" was the Colonial term for "year." Yahren is the same plural as it is singular. See also: Thousand Yahren War.

Note

Within so fan circles, one Yahren is considered to be around 2/3rd the length of an Earth year, thus helping to explain the relative longevity of Colonial people compared to terran humans.

Original Series definition: unit of time akin to a "year" (see: Yahren)
