The SU[1] is a Colonial unit of measurement in the Re-imagined Series. In the episode "The Captain's Hand", Lee Adama reports the distance of the missing Raptors from Pegasus in SUs.

Notes

  • The real-world equivalent of the SU is probably the Astronomical unit (AU), which is approximately equal to the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Because distances in the Colonial solar system are very likely to be different, the SU cannot be assumed to have a value close to that of the AU.
