The '''Cylon Centurion Model 0005''', created and designed by scientists of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies of Kobol]], is a model of [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] used in various heavy to light labor and military applications until they rebelled, resulting in the first [[:en:Cylon War|Cylon War]]. They are bipedal [[w:android|androids]], with an average height of 6'6", composed of silver-chrome plating. They carry backpack-like power cells and are protected by flexible rear armor which covers otherwise-exposed internal mechanisms. The prototype of this model, [[Cylon Prototype|U-87]], was designed by [[Daniel Graystone]], famed inventor of the [[holoband]], 58 years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

	Fifty-two years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, the Centurions rose up against their masters and rebelled, waging a brutal war that lasted twelve years. The first Cylon War was staged both in space and on the surface of several Colonial planets, including [[:en:The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Tauron\|Tauron]] and other outlying [[:en:Ice planet\|world]]s.

The "neck" section is smaller, and the ''Mercury'' class features eight [[sublight]] engine pods instead of the older class's six. Its edges are more angular is more completely armored (no exposed ribs). Each [[flight pod]] consists of two stacked landing bays with adjoined decks and hangars, which along with computer-assisted landings results in a faster Viper recovery rate. These pods are fixed and do not retract when executing an [[FTL\| FTL jump]] ([[The Captain's Hand]]), suggesting advances in jump systems. Inside, the class features automated sliding doorways, basic computer recognition stations in vital areas, and networked computer systems.

		+	* The usage of Viper numbers and callsigns, in addition to proper first and last names (i.e. Troy "Boxey" Adama in Viper 5480), is likely inspired by the [[Re-imagined Series]]. As is Doctor Zee's first name, Gaius, who is clearly named as a nod to [[Gaius Baltar]].
		+	* Colonel [[Boomer (1980 alternate)\|Boomer]] was not on ''[[Galactica (1980)\|Galactica]]'' at the time of the American's fatal attack on the [[battlestar (TOS)\|battlestar]]. While next in command, Dr. Zee declares "cerebral law" (a form of martial law that relieves both military and the Quorum of their leadership) and transfers this authority to Zee.
		+	* The musical piece, Larson's Apogee in C-Minor, is a nod to both [[Glen A. Larson]] (creator and executive producer of the [[Original Series]] and ''[[Galactica 1980]]'') and [[Apogee]], [[John Dykstra]]'s special effects studio that worked on special effects for "[[Saga of a Star World]]."

	== Analysis ==		== Analysis ==
		+
		+	* Doctor Zee is quick to inform the Quorum that Adama is dead and to declare "cerebral law." Now that Adama and ''Galactica'' are out of the way, Zee executes with his plan of conquering Earth. Given Troy and Dillon's retrieval of Adama, who is still barely alive, the biosensor Adama was implanted with either stopped functioning or Zee lied in order to obtain his goal.
		+	* Baltar's plan to simply follow Adama and the Fleet to Earth is a logical one that is apparently not considered by anyone of importance in the Fleet. Unlike the [[Doctor Zee]] from the television series, the comic depiction does not apparently consider this fact, and thus may be blinded by his own hubris.

	== Questions ==		== Questions ==

== Welcome to Battlestar Wiki! ==

Greetings, {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Battlestar Wiki! I'm pleased to tell you that you have full editing privileges on every wiki in the Battlestar Wiki network. I hope you enjoy your stay with us and am looking forward to your contributions to the Wiki! Why not begin by telling us a bit about yourself on your own [[User:{{PAGENAME}}|user page]]?

As you may already know, Battlestar Wiki covers all the ''Battlestar Galactica'' series from past to present, in addition to authorized merchandise. Presently, we don't cover fan fiction, but our sister-site, [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]], does so. We're also not a discussion site, although we do have an ever-growing [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum] where people can discuss the various shows and non-BSG topics as well!

To get started on the wiki, we suggest that you check out our [[BW:TUT|tutorial]], experiment in [[BW:SAND|the sandbox]] (a test editing area for those learning wiki code), and review some of our basic [[BW:POL|policies]] (which have important differences from other SF wikis). For some general questions and answers about the navigation and operation of the Wiki, check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ).

Of course, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you are more than welcome to bring them up at the [[BW:CN|Chiefs' noticeboard]] (which is frequented by the administrators of the Wiki) and at the [[BW:GQ|Galactipedians' Quorum]] (which is the hub for contributors, who are called "Galactipedians").

Furthermore, if you don't wish to see the ads, then please consider upgrading your account to a [[BW:MEMBERSHIP|paid membership]], which costs only $10 USD a year and helps support the wiki financially. This membership also extends to the [http://www.battlestarforum.com Battlestar Forum], where you can talk to other members about the show and most anything that you want to talk about to BSG fans! We think this is very cool, and we hope you do as well!

Thank you for joining us! Hope to see you soon!

The [[Special:Log/newusers|new user log]] notes that you also created the username, [[User:Jonesy19|Jonesy19]]. Due to our policies on this, each user should only have one user name, thereby avoiding the issue of "sockpuppetry" (the appearance of multiple users when there is only one person behind them). Please get back to me as soon as possible on which account you would like to use, so that I can lock down the unused one. Please feel free to reply or e-mail me with any questions.
