Editing IL-series

[[File:ILseries.jpg|thumb| A pair of IL-series Cylons react to the explosion of the nearby ammo depot. ("Uh, oh.") {{OS|The Living Legend, Part II}}]]
'''IL-series''' or '''IL-group''' Cylons typically take on the duties to maintain the non-military aspects of the [[Cylon Empire]], typically commanding bases {{OS|The Young Lords}} and [[Basestar (TOS)|basestars]] on important missions for the Empire ([[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II]], et al.) Unlike the [[Centurion (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]], they have two eyes, similar in proportion to the eyes of humans, as well as a less-robotic monotone, yet harmonious male voice. They also express emotion, after a fashion, such as jealousy, power lust, and even laughter; reactions to dire situations also elicit responses, such as "Oh, no" {{OS|The Young Lords}} and "Uh, oh" {{OS|The Living Legend, Part II}}.

The [[Imperious Leader]] is promoted from the ranks of the IL-group, as [[Lucifer]] notes to a Centurion that the current Imperious Leader was promoted over him, which he was unable to understand {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II}}.

One uniform trait of the IL-series is their ability for logical thought, though this is at times subdued over the desire for power in the Cylon hierarchy. For instance, [[Lucifer]] believes that a major military victory under his command at {{TOS|Kobol}} would increase his influence amongst the Cylons {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II}}. 

There are also various versions of the IL-series Cylons. Lucifer notes to {{TOS|Baltar}} that [[Specter]] is an earlier IL-series model that is before "my time" and "rather limited in ability," though he does not elaborate for Baltar's benefit.  One such possible trait of older versions of the IL-series are fabrications and the ability to spin a situation so that the Cylon remains in favor, as exhibited by [[Specter]] during his command of the [[Attila]] garrison.

Additionally, despite Lucifer's claim that jealousy is not programmed in the IL-series, Lucifer exhibits behaviors that run contrary to this claim; he attempts to discover flaws in Specter's command (such as the stockpiling of various munitions, despite his reports that [[Attila]]'s inhabitants were terminated) and mutters "oh, [[Felgercarb (TOS)|felgercarb]]..." as Specter flatters Baltar during an update from the garrison {{OS|The Young Lords}}.

== Appearances ==

Lucifer is the IL-series Cylon that appears most frequently. Specter appears only once, commanding the remote garrison at Attila in the [[Omega sector]] {{OS|The Young Lords}}. Several unnamed IL-Series Cylons are seen milling about at the dedication ceremony on [[Gamoray]] {{OS|The Living Legend, Part II}}.

== Notes ==
* Based on Lucifer's comment in "Lost Planet of the Gods," "IL" stands for [[Imperious Leader]], as IL-series perform similar command duties. The comment suggests that these models are upgraded to the appearance of the Imperious Leader upon promotion.
