'''Cylonics''' are mechanical, bi-pedaled robots created by Professor [[Baltar (1880)|Baltar]] during the [[Ovion Wars]] (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1]]'').

Coordinated by the [[babbage]] computer [[Lu-c-fer]], the Cylonic Knights were able to turn the tide in the Ovion Wars. Following the end of this conflict, Baltar used the Cylonics in his quest for personal power, thwarted by [[Archduke]] [[Adama (1880)|Adama]] and the [[Quorum (1880)|Quorum]].

Baltar, Lu-c-fer, and the Cylonics went into exile, settling on the planet [[Gamoray (1880)|Gamoray]]. From there, they established a presence and created larger armies to return and wage war on the [[Twelve Colonies (1880)|Twelve Colonies]].

== Cylonic Knights ==

'''Cylonic Knights''' are the ground force and fodder, typically the size of a standard adult humanoid. 

Mechanically, Cylonic Knights are [[clockwork]] machinery programmed via [[punchcard]]. 

Knights are armored, featuring a single eye-slit with a "roving" red eye that moves to and fro. Knights are capable of basic speech consisting of various ''whrrr''s interspersed in statements, e.g. "by '''whrrr'' command."

For weaponry, Knights have guns in their arms, the muzzles to which are located in the palm. Knights may also use hand-held weaponry.

As a next iteration of the Cylonic Knight, Baltar intends to use Human brains to operate them, and his Cylonics abduct [[Apollo (1880)|Apollo]] for such a conversion (''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1]]'').

== Cylonic Juggernauts ==

'''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 1880 1]]'').
