The Second Exodus is a term used in official Colonial government statements to describe the escape of the human population from Cylon-occupied New Caprica circa 2 ACH (2001BYR) (TRS: "Collaborators").

The use of "second" implies that the First Exodus was the successful escape of civilian ships under the protection of the battlestar Galactica from the worlds of the Twelve Colonies after their destruction in an overwhelming Cylon attack (TRS: "Miniseries", "The Plan").

-The '''Second Exodus''' is a term used in official documentation from the [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|Colonial Government]] to describe the exodus from [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]]-occupied [[New Caprica]] ([[Collaborators]]). After initial contact with the [[Galactica]], the [[New Caprica Resistance]] agree on a time and date far the rescue of 39,000 colonists. Working with [[Sharon Agathon]] on the ground, the [[New Caprica Resistance]] gets a hold of the launch keys to the grounded civilian vessels and prepares to hit cylon targets across the city.

-On [[Galactica]], [[Adama]] orders the ship to conduct an intra-atmosphere jump, avoiding the detection on dradis from the basestars in orbit. While in freefall, it launches Blue Squadron, who in turn performs hit-and-run attacks on the Cylons as well as blowsing open the main gates of the shipyard where the grounded civilian ships are being kept. Before the Galactica impacts the surface, she performs a second jump back into orbit.
+The use of "second" implies that the First Exodus was the successful escape of [[The Fleet (RDM)|civilian ships]] under the protection of the [[Galactica_type_battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' from the worlds of the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]] after their [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|destruction in an overwhelming Cylon attack]] {{TRS|Miniseries|The Plan}}.
-On the surface, the block captains help guide their groups of civilians to the waiting ships. Pre-instructed pilots are lined up and assigned civilian vessels to pilot off the surface. Blue Squadron provides cover for the quickly escaping civilian vesels as they jump away. In the end not all civilian ships make it, and casualties are estimated to be approximately 2,000. The remaining 37,000 survivors return to the fleet.
-It is unclear whether a "First Exodus" refers to the exodus from [[Kobol]] over 2,000 years prior, or the flight from the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]].
