Time cycle
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
A time cycle is a Colonial measurement of time.
Time cycle, or sometimes "cycle," is a term for "day". The plural form is time cycles, or cycles.
A time cycle may be equivalent to 24 centares (TOS: "Fire in Space").
Notes
- In "Fire in Space," Lieutenant Boomer states that he was on furlon for the next "24 centares," which may be akin to a pilot saying that he or she was on furlon for 24 hours (one Earth day).
