The '''Cylon War''', later referred to as the '''First Cylon War''', is a twelve-year major conflict between the humans of the {{dis|Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Deadlock}} and their creations, the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].  A definitive point in history for both humanity and the Cylons, the Cylon War paves the way for the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] more than forty years later.

==Early Years==

Initially referred to as the {{dis|Cylon|Deadlock}} uprising, the Cylons began warring with their creators in what is an overall protracted stalemate.

In response, the [[Articles of Colonization]] were created to assist in fighting the menace. As an incentive to sign, each Colony is offered its own ''{{dis|Jupiter|Deadlock}}''-class battlestar as part of its own military force, under the aegis of {{dis|Colonial Fleet|Deadlock}}. The first of the ''Jupiters'', ''{{dis|Galactica|Deadlock}}'', launches under the command of Admiral [[Jubal Sarkis]] and disappears two weeks following its depolyment.

Despite resistance, four additional ''Jupiters'' continue to launch, including {{dis|Picon|Deadlock}}'s ''{{dis|Athena|Deadlock}}''.
