Population (Breakaway Event and After)
Intro
In general, there are roughly 300 people on Alpha at any one time,
with variation as Alphans die, leave, are born, or join.
A few Numbers (or lower bounds) are mentioned.

Numbers
- "Breakaway" (Y1): An
Earth news report (GTV) lists 311
people on Moonbase Alpha,
presumably from the best information GTV obtained about
Alpha's pre-Breakaway population.
See Breakaway Population for analysis.
- "Last Enemy":
Koenig mentions there are "about 300" people on Alpha.
As this does not advance a bound, it is not as useful a number,
and is largely ignored in this analysis; but
see Population in "The Last Enemy"
for some analysis.
- TOA: "There are over three hundred people...."
This sets a lower bound of 301 at that time.
See Population at Arkadia for analysis.
- "The Metamorph" (Y2):
Population listed as 297 at the start of the episode.
See Population at Psychon for analysis.
- "Dorzak": comment by a
Croton ship
computer which scanned the Moon:
"it is inhabited by some three hundred... people."
As this does not advance a bound, it is not as useful a number,
and is largely ignored in this analysis.
- "Devil's Planet": Population is mentioned as 298
(revealed during interrogation of Koenig).
See Population at Entra for analysis.
