Although Cylon military technology is exotic and partially biological in nature, the Cylons also make use of technology likely of Cylon manufacture, but of more Colonial design. This includes [[Weapons in the Re-imagined Series|weapons technology]] (projectile weapons, conventional and nuclear warheads, and cybernetic weapons) as well as medical technology, as seen in the "[[farms]]" of Caprica and in the hospital on [[New Caprica]], which included Colonial-style computers and medical equipment, in stark contrast to the exotic interfaces seen aboard the baseships. This is logical, since the Cylons are of Colonial origin, and while their technology diverged from that in certain areas - mainly cybernetics and bio-technology - its basics are human. | Although Cylon military technology is exotic and partially biological in nature, the Cylons also make use of technology likely of Cylon manufacture, but of more Colonial design.

Much, though not all, of Cylon architecture, including the conveyor tunnel on the tylium asteroid {{TRS|The Hand of God (RDM)}}, and the designs of their spacecraft seems to eschew right angles, much as Colonial aesthetics do. There are some exceptions, such as the [[New Caprica Detention Center|prison]] on New Caprica, which like many Colonial buildings on Caprica retained many right angles. However, it should be noted, that these buildings were strictly functional and needed to be built with little resources, thus little attention could be paid to aesthetics. Cylon architecture favors sharp points, in contrast to the Colonial's rounded architecture. Cylon baseships, Raiders and Centurions all follow this, as they feature points and sharp edges. | Much, though not all, of Cylon architecture, including the conveyor tunnel on the tylium asteroid {{TRS|The Hand of God (RDM)}}, and the designs of their spacecraft seems to eschew right angles, much as Colonial aesthetics do.
