For the count of survivors from the Fall of the Twelve Colonies in the Re-imagined Series, see: survivor count.

The Fleet population is an attempt to chronicle how many people are within the rag-tag, fugitive fleet from the Original Series. Unlike its re-imagined successor, a definitive number of survivors is never provided; however, losses and gains in population can be provided from aired content.

Based on the available data below, there has been an overall net loss of seven people between the post-Carillon end of "Saga of a Star World" and the final act of the series finale, "The Hand of God".

Saga of a Star World

  • It is impossible to determine an exact count of survivors due to the numerous casualties incurred as a result of the Battle of Cimtar and the Battle of Carillon. Also, it is uncertain how many people were able to successfully escape Carillon before its destruction.
