Fanon Timeline (TRS)

This page is intended as a reference between events happening in the Canon universe (BSG) and events in the Fanon Universe.

Establishing a Timescale
Although there is a date stated on Adama's dog tags during the series we still do not know how long a Colonial Year is. Since there are twelve planets/moons that make up the Colonies each with their own orbits it would vary for colony to colony. Therefore the best way to create an idea of the passage of time would be to use a system based on the ‘Fall of the Colonies’.

A Standard Year
For this timeline a ‘year’ will consist of 364 days. A day will be 24 hours long.

Before The Fall (BTF)
When describing the years before ‘The Fall’ the term ‘BTF’ will be used after the number of years the event occurred. Example: The Cylon War ended 40 BTF.

If the event occurred within one year before ‘The Fall’ then the term DBF – Days Before the Fall - will be used.

''(Note: In this section there is no need to mention which Fan Fiction series the event is from since it is all mostly back story. If the event is a serious deviation from the established canon however then please make sure that you mention in brackets which story it is from so that there is no confusion). ''
