[[ | [[Image:Operation Raptor Talon.jpg|300px|thumb|[[Operation Raptor Talon]], the final battle of the Cylon War]] | ||
''' | The '''Cylon War''' (or '''First Cylon War''') was a major conflict that ended over forty years prior to the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] and caused the death of thousands if not millions of civilians. | ||
The war began when humanity's robotic creation, the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]], turned on their "parents" after years of slavery. During the course of the conflict the Cylons used [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] and [[Basestar (RDM)|basestars]], while the Colonials developed the first [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestars]] and the renowned [[Viper Mark II]]. | |||
The conflict lasted for approximately twelve and a half years (4,571 days)<ref>This is assuming that the standard Colonial Year is 365 days, not including leap years.</ref>, and was waged amongst the stars as well as on Colonial soil. Known engagements include the boarding of the ''[[Brenik]]'' by [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005|Cylon Centurions]] ([[TRS]]: "[[Valley of Darkness]]"), combat involving the [[Colonial Marines]] in the jungles of Medra ([[TRS]]: "[[Maelstrom]]"), the Cylon [[Battle of Tauron|attack on Tauron]] ([[Razor]]) and [[Operation Raptor Talon]] on the final day of the war ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor Flashbacks]]"). | |||
Veterans of the war include [[William Adama]], Commander [[Nash (RDM)|Nash]] and [[Socrata Thrace]]. | |||

Unbeknownst to the Colonials, the [[Final Five|final five]] members of the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] had traveled to the Colonies following the destruction of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] to warn them to treat their artificial lifeforms well. Seeing that the Cylons were attempting to develop [[Humanoid Cylon|humanoid bodies]] with little success, the Five agreed to help the Cylons on the condition that they end the war ([[TRS]]: "[[No Exit]]"). This agreement resulted in an armistice (the [[Cimtar (RDM)|Cimtar Peace Accord]]), and the Cylons left Colonial space in the middle of the last battles in order to establish a "[[The Colony|homeworld]]" of their own. The Colonials built the [[Armistice Station]] to maintain diplomatic contact, but this overture was ignored by the Cylons. | |||
Also at this time the [[Guardians]] escaped being shut down after taking the [[First Hybrid]] on a [[Guardian basestar|new type of basestar]] and leaving the [[Ice planet|planet]] where the Hybrids were developed. This basestar, along with the Guardians, is [[Battle of the Guardian basestar|destroyed]] by ''Pegasus'' four decades later, nine months after the Fall of the Colonies ([[TRS]]: "[[Razor]]"). | |||
[[Articles of Colonization | Given that the [[Articles of Colonization]] were signed fifty-two years before the [[Cylon attack]], it is possible that the Cylon War was what precipitated the unification of the Twelve Colonies, which were separate entities prior to the conflict. The impact of the war may have been the initiative required by the Colonial government to create the [[Case Orange]] emergency succession procedures in the event of another catastrophe. | ||
Furthermore, the conflict resulted in a ban against research and development into artificial intelligence ([[TRS]]: "[[Miniseries]]"). | |||
The Cylons viewed their slavery and the subsequent atrocities of the war with mankind as justification for wiping out the Colonies 40 years later.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.wizarduniverse.com/television/bsg/004103906.cfm?page=2|title=Wizard Universe interview with Mark Verheiden}} In a question, Verheiden describes the Cylon genocide attempt as "prompted" and "out of things that happened prior."</ref> | |||
