'''Cylonic Juggernauts'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> are larger, sky-scraper tall versions of the Cylonic Knights, and are the newer creations of their self-titled "Imperious Leader," [[Baltar (1880)|Baltar]]. They look and act like Cylonic Knights with a few exceptions, namely that the aforementioned Knights can be deployed by palm-guns. | |||
Juggernauts are heavily armored and able to resist aethership weapons fire. However, the Colonial Empire's forces were able to defeat some Juggernauts by "tripping" them using cables delivered by grapples. | |||
Juggernauts are put to use during their ground assault on [[Caprica (1880)|Caprica]], and aid in Caprica's destruction by firing Knights at the [[aethership]] ''[[Atlantia (1880)|Atlantia]]'', thus allowing the Knights to board the ship and turn it into a bomb that destroys the colony (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1]]''). | |||
