A '''Cylon mine''' is an explosive space-borne device deployed by the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] in the [[Straits of Madagon]]. 

In an already [[Nova of Madagon|dangerous area of space]], destroying the mine field is an extremely risky mission, but is the only viable option left open to [[the Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]]. Captain {{TOS|Apollo}}, along with Lieutenants {{TOS|Boomer}} and {{TOS|Starbuck}}, launch in specially-shielded {{TOS|Viper}}s to clear the Cylon minefield. 

The Cylon mine can withstand temperatures capable of melting the hull of a Colonial Viper, but a single shot from a Viper mounted laser is enough to destroy the mine {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.

'''Cylon mines''' are deployed along the {{alt|Nova of Madagon}} by the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} during the {{alt|Thousand-Yahren War}} as a deterrent for unauthorized transit to and from [[Carillon]], without needing to actively patrol the area ({{comics|marvel|2}}).

A small force consisting of three {{alt|Viper|TOS}} piloted by Captain {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and Lieutenants {{alt|Boomer|TOS}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS}} are, with assistance from ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}''{{'|s}} [[scanner]]s, clear a path 100 [[maxim]]s in width. This permits {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}} to make their way to Carillon for resupply ({{comics|marvel|3}}).

*There appear to be at least two different models of Cylon mine, see: "Related Imagery."
*The mine model would later be modified by [[Universal Hartland]] in ''[[buckrogers:Buck Rogers in the 25th Century|Buck Rogers in the 25th Century]]'' as a spy satellite in "[[buckrogers:Ardala Returns|Ardala Returns]]."

-* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
-: Drones packed with explosives can be effective weapons, since they can be programmed to lie dead in space for yahren, and then to track and destroy approaching enemy spacecraft.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=34}}</ref>
-: The Nova of Madagon is a space corridor near the heart of the Cyranus Galaxy densely packed with small, bright stars. The stars' brilliance and their complex gravitational interactions make navigation through the Nova extremely dangerous. The Nova was thought to be wholly impassible after being mined by the Cylons, but a path was cleared by three members of the Galactica's Blue Squadron: Apollo, Starbuck and Boomer.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=43-44}}</ref>
