Trivia

Humans in this series had their own units for measuring time. Colonial time units do not appear to have exact equivalents in Earth usage, but have rough analogues - a "micron", for example, is roughly equivalent to a second, in the sense that a character might say "Wait a micron!" The time units themselves may not be the same. Other analogous time units include the centon (minute), centar (hour), secton (week), sectar (month), and yahren (year). These units appear to have a decimal arrangement - one centar equals one hundred centons, for example (revealed in the episode "Take the Celestra", among others).

Some fanon materials assume that there is one battlestar per colony. This was never actually mentioned in canon in the original series; only in the 2003 remake was it ever said that each colony had a battlestar assigned to it. In the original series, only eight battlestars ever actually appeared or were mentioned: Acropolis, Atlantia, Columbia, Galactica, Pacifica, Pegasus, Rycon and Triton.

Dogs, in the human society of Battlestar Galactica, are known as "daggits." Boxey's robot daggit, Muffitt, is a mechanical replacement for the one he lost during the destruction of Caprica.
