This article attempts to plot the events illustrated or mentioned in the history and prehistory of the Twelve Colonies in the Re-imagined Series.
All dates use the day of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies as the central time marker for all events in the series. Items that occur before the Fall are marked as "BCH", or "Before Cylon holocaust".

References
- ↑ Galen Tyrol cites 4,000 years as the approximate age of the temple. This is the oldest date noted in the Re-imagined Series timeline, but also conflicts with the prior date of Pythia and her works as described by Elosha in the season 1 episode "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I," where she notes that the exodus of all 13 tribes occurred 2,000 years prior.
- ↑ This is contradicted in "Torn" where Adama claims to have known Tigh for 30 years. Writer, Bradley Thompson stated that Adama is exaggerating, thus indicating that 20 years (22-23 years by the time Adama makes the statement) is correct.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Since Adama states that Tyrol has been under his commander for "over five years", this might also be one year earlier.
