'''Centuri''', also known as pilot {{TOS|Centurion|Centurion 9}}, is the second of two survivors of the crash of the advanced [[A-B Raider|Cylon "A-B" fighter]].
'''Centuri''', also known as pilot [[Centurion (TOS)|Centurion 9]], is the second of two survivors of the crash of the advanced Cylon "A-B" fighter.


Centuri follows the other survivor, [[Andromus]], to a party in New York City {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}, where everyone assumes he is dressed in an extravagant "spaceman" costume. At the party, he is tasked with finding the emergency keys for admittance into the [[WQSL]] radio station, but is unable to find any.
Centuri follows the other survivor, [[Andromus]], to a party in a Henry VII costume. A microwave oven's radiation disables Centuri until Andromus destroys it.
 
As later ordered, he enters the kitchen to wait there for Andromus. Due to this, he {{audio|NTCL 2 - dangerous meatballs.mp3|interrupts a conversation}} between [[Arnie]] and [[Norman Blore]]. When Arnie goes to microwaves his [[Arnie's meatballs|meatballs]], a microwave oven's radiation disables Centuri until Andromus destroys the said microwave.


Centuri helps Andromus kidnap [[Wolfman Jack]], and goes to to Wolfman's radio station with Andromus in preparation to send a distress signal for rescue by other Cylons.

Centuri is damaged during a firefight with [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]]. Disoriented, the Centurion carries an injured Andromus off of the roof of the radio station to their doom {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II}}.

==Notes==
*  It is never adequately explained how the radiation from a microwave oven overcomes Centuri when Cylons routinely are exposed to much more powerful and malignant radiation with no ill effect.  This may be an anti-nuclear political statement inserted into ''Galactica 1980'' by its producers, a statement about perceived health effects of microwave ovens, or simply a clumsy piece of writing.
