* The [[Cylon Raider|Raider]] is an autonomous attack fighter with a metallic carapace and a largely organic interior. The ''Galactica'' copy of [[Sharon Valerii]] offers the following "guess" at its nature in the episode "[[Six Degrees of Separation]]": | |||
**"It's not really a ''thing'', y'know? It's probably a Cylon itself. More of an animal, maybe, than the human models. Maybe they genetically design it to perform a task. To be a ''fighter''. [You] can't treat it like a ''thing'' and expect it to respond. [You] have to treat it like... a pet. At least that's my guess." | |||
**Not knowing she is a Cylon, Boomer would presumably have some intuition but not a complete recollection of how to treat a Raider. Also, the Raider in question was already "dead", as its brain was removed by Starbuck (and there was a bleeding hole in its head even before that). | |||
* [[Cylon Heavy Raider|Heavy Raider]] is a manned spacecraft that is also likely autonomous, like the Raider. | |||
**When the [[Resistance (movement)|Resistance]] on Caprica plans to capture one in the Episode [[The Farm]], [[Kara Thrace]] anticipates having to "blow its brain out" before it can be comandeered. It is not known whether the Caprica copy of Valerii, who comandeered the craft that Thrace and [[Karl Agathon]] escaped on, performed such a procedure. | |||
**The Heavy Raider in [[Scattered]] and [[Valley of Darkness]] crashes into Galactica's hangar bay and deploys Cylon Centurions. If the Heavy Raider is autonomous, it performed its mission in concert with the Centurions and Cylon commanders at the battle. On this principle, perhaps Caprica Boomer, with a more complete knowledge, managed to coax, command, or convince the Heavy Raider on Caprica to carry her and her companions about, like a jockey riding a horse. | |||
* [[Cylon Reconnaissance Drone|Reconnaissance Drone]] is a spacecraft. It is unknown whether this is manned, autonomous, or intelligent. | |||
* [[Cylon transport|Transport]] - glimpsed briefly in [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]] | |||
* [[Cylon Basestar]] is a very large manned spacecraft of partly biological design. There is no indication that this craft is autonomous other than the circumstantial evidence provided by the Raider. | |||
* [[Unknown Cylon Ship]] - possibly a command and control vessel or Raider factory ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]) | |||
