The occupation authority attempts to rule by consensus, but as a copy of [[Number Three]] notes, the strains of occupation make consensus more difficult to come by. The Cylons also attempt to maintain control by working alongside humans in more helpful roles; at least one [[Number Six]] works in waste reclamation {{TRS|Faith}}, and other Cylons assist human farmers in tending and harvesting crops ([[TRS]]: "[[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]"). | ||

*[[Number One]] - At least two copies of Number One, under their name Cavil, are present, to the apparent chagrin of the other models—Cavil often mocks their faith and makes outrageous, potentially sarcastic suggestions, such as executing Baltar. Copies of Cavil also free [[Saul Tigh]] from custody, and Tigh's wife, [[Ellen Tigh|Ellen]], performing sexual favors upon another copy of Cavil in exchange for her husband's freedom.

He holds Thrace captive and attempts to force her to live a married life with him. However, she kills him and forces him to download at least five times before finally appearing to give in. Conoy, interestingly, does not seem to be part of the Occupation Authority per se. For instance, he is never present on ''Colonial One'', where the other Cylons discuss and decide the course of the occupation. He abducts a human child named [[Kacey Brynn]], and claims that she is another hybrid child created from Thrace's ovary {{TRS|The Farm}}. | ||
*[[Number Three]] - At least two copies of Number Three appear to be posted to the planet, one of which is the same copy that knew [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii]] on {{RDM|Caprica}}. Three's role is largely supervisory, although she also begins a path of spiritual discovery on the planet that leads her to question her faith and discover that [[Hera Agathon|Hera]], the child of [[Karl Agathon|Karl]] and {{callsign|Athena}} still lives. | *[[Number Three]] - At least two copies of Number Three appear to be posted to the planet, one of which is the same copy that knew [[Caprica-Six]] and [[Sharon Valerii]] on {{RDM|Caprica}}.
