{{terms series}}

Like the show, the comics or novels based on the [[Original Series]], and its spinoff, ''[[Galactica 1980]]'', use different terminology in order to make the universe visceral to the reader. This array of terminology, used by both the Colonials and [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]], consists of military jargon, colloquialisms, sayings, and technical terms.

This page does not serve to regurgitate or repeat terminologies used in both series, but terms that ''only'' appear in both the comics and novels. Each section is separated by publisher (Berkley, Marvel, Realm Press, et al.), in order to make the continuities clear.

The bulk of the Colonial military is lured into a trap by the promise of peace, only to find themselves and the {{alt-r|Twelve Colonies of Man}} in a fatal trap {{comics|vol2|3}}.

After 1000 [[yahren]]s of [[Thousand-Yahren War|war]], the humans of the Twelve Colonies vie for peace with Lord {{alt-r|Baltar}} acting as diplomat. The peace is to become official at {{TOS|Cimtar|Cimtar}},<ref>The signing never takes place. In the [[Re-imagined Series]], a [[Cimtar Peace Accord|peace accord]] was signed at a place known as Cimtar, but this should not be confused with its Original Series counterpart.</ref> a moon believed to be neutral territory. Instead of peace, the Cylons launch their largest onslaught ever against the Colonials. The Cylons use a two-pronged attack, striking at both the peace delegation (including the {{TOS|Battlestar|battlestars}}) as well as the Twelve Colonies.

Cylon fighter groups of {{TOS|Raider|Cylon Raiders}} hide near the Cimtar moon in wait for their chance at attacking the battlestar fleet. The {{TOS|basestar|basestars}} are left free for bombardment of the Colonies.

In an [[alternate reality]] where {{alt-r|Galactica|a battlestar named ''Galactica'' was never built}}, President {{alt-r|Adama}} survives the attack only through the efforts of Commander {{alt-r|Tigh}}, who sacrifices his life in the process ({{comics|vol2|3}}).

Following this event, two noteworthy factions harass the {{alt-r|Cylon Empire}}: a [[Colonial Resistance]] lead by Adama himself, and a motley crew of pirates lead by {{alt-r|Starbuck}} {{comics|vol2|3}} & {{comics|vol2|4|short=y}}

Originalmente, la serpiente reptiliana Cylons creó una raza de robots para atender sus necesidades {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World|Experiment in Terra (TV movie)}}. Según {{TOS/es|Apollo}}, los Cylons descubrieron a la humanidad.

Given that his voice patterns seem to have been imprinted into what Iblis called "machine Leader" {{OS/es|War of the Gods, Part II}} and the apparent onset of the Leader's creation causing the slaughter of both the original Cylons and all human life in the "star system" ([[Experiment in Terra (TV movie)/es|Experimento en Terra Telemovie]]), this connotation seems to have been further substantiated.</ref> A pesar de que los Cylons reptilianos han sido borrados desde hace mucho tiempo, sus creaciones robóticas todavía llevan su nombre. Como tal, el término ha llegado a describir casi exclusivamente a los antagonistas robóticos del [[The Twelve Colonies of Man/es|Colonials]] {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World}}.

== Robotic Cylons ==
[[File:PartyCrashers.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Cylon [[Centurion (TOS)|Centurions]] crash [[Sire/es|Sire]] [[Uri/es|Uri]]'s party {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World.}}Bajo los cilindros robóticos, comenzaron a expandir su esfera de influencia, creando lo que el Comandante {{TOS/es|Adama}} llama "[[the Alliance/es|the Alliance]]" {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World}}. El objetivo de los Cylon es esforzarse por alcanzar la "perfección y el orden eternos" en toda la galaxia conocida, aunque no han pensado mucho (o en absoluto) más allá de ese punto {{G80/es|The Return of Starbuck}}.

Los centuriones parecen ser incapaces de actuar independientemente, teniendo que referirse a "el manual" para determinar los cursos de acción. Si no, los Centurions a menudo toman votos cuando el consenso no está claro. Además, no parecen tener mucha información sobre los seres humanos, fuera de los diferentes géneros y lenguaje general {{G80/es|The Return of Starbuck}}. En comparación, el [[IL-series/es|IL-series]] exhibe más cualidades y emociones humanas {{OS/es|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II|The Young Lords}} aunque los Centurions son aparentemente capaces de emular emociones y cualidades humanas, tales como la libertad de elección y lealtad como ejemplificado por [[Cyrus/es|Ciro]] {{G80/es|The Return of Starbuck}}.

=== Sociedad Cylon ===
[[File:ImperiousVisit.jpg|thumb|All of the various known Cylons before the [[Imperious Leader]] on [[Gamoray/es|Gamoray]] {{OS/es|La leyenda viviente, parte II}}.]]
Hay cinco tipos de Cylons:

* [[Imperious Leader/es|Imperious Leader]]: controla todas las fuerzas del Cylon y gobierna el imperio. El Líder Imperious se distingue por tomar una apariencia destinada a parecerse a la raza reptiliana Cylon.
* [[IL-series/es|IL-series]] (o el grupo "IL"): Robots que suelen asumir los deberes administrativos del Imperio Cylon.
* [[Command Centurion/es|Mando Centurión]]: Robots con armadura dorada analógica con comandantes en el [[Warrior/es|Colonial Military]].
* [[Centurion (TOS)/es|Cylon Centurion]]s: Estos robots son los soldados de pie cromado, pilotos y fuerza de trabajo para el Imperio Cylon.
* [[Cylon civilian/es|Cylon "civilians"]]: Según el Coronel {{TOS/es|Tigh}}, recoge las transmisiones civiles de una naturaleza Cylon en [[Gamoray/es|Gamoray]] {{OS/es|The Living Legend, Part I}}. Tales Cylons son típicamente revestidos en trajes reflectantes, con una "cara" robótica básica con componentes electrónicos, como transistores {{OS/es|The Living Legend, Part II}}.

== Cilon craft ==
Hay tres naves espaciales Cylon conocidas:

* [[Basestar (TOS)/es|Basestar]]: Los buques de capital de la fuerza militar Cylon, análogos al [[Battlestar (TOS)/es|Colonial battlestar]].
* [[Raider (TOS)/es|Raider]]: El principal luchador de las fuerzas del Cylon, tripulado por dos pilotos y un comandante de barco.
* [[Cylon freighter (TOS)/es|Freighter]]: Barcos usados a lo largo de la esfera de influencia Cylon para proporcionar combustible o suministros. Puede ser utilizado para apoyar una operación ofensiva, como se demostró en el [[Battle of Cimtar/es|Batalla de Cimtar]] {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World}}.

== Historia del Cylon ==
=== The Thousand Yahren War ===
: ''Artículo principal: [[Thousand Yahren War/es|Mil Yahren War]]''

El [[Thousand Yahren War/es|Mil Yahren War]] entre los humanos del [[Twelve Colonies of Man/es|Doce colonias]] y los Cylons comenzó cuando los Colonials liberaron el [[Hasari/es|Hasari]] de la regla Cylon. Los Cylons entonces vieron a la humanidad como una amenaza para su Imperio y procedieron a atacar instalaciones coloniales.

.Los Cylons y los humanos lucharon por aproximadamente mil yahren, con pérdidas en ambos lados.

El fin final de la guerra ocurrió después de que los Cylons propusieron la paz a través de la mediación de Baltar, un miembro del [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)/es|Quórum de Doce]]. Sin embargo, en lugar de concluir la paz, los Cylons destruyeron la fuerza humana de Battlestar en el [[Battle of Cimtar/es|Batalla de Cimtar]] y también atacaron las Colonias, matando a la mayoría de los habitantes. Baltar, que tenía la intención de utilizar los Cylons para subyugar su colonia bajo su gobierno, vio su colonia destruida y apenas escapó de la ejecución {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World}}.

=== Cilon pursuit of the Colonial Fleet ===
El [[the Fleet (TOS)/es|"rag-tag, flota fugitiva"]], liderado por el último conocido [[Battlestar (TOS)/es|battlestar]], ''{{TOS/es|Galactica}}'', huye de sus planetas, evitando los ataques genocidas Cylon.

Pasar la vida de Baltar, el recién ascendido [[Imperious Leader/es|Imperious Leader]] le da a Baltar el comando de tres estrellas base y un cogitador, [[Lucifer/es|Lucifer]] {{OS/es|Saga of a Star World|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I}}. Con Baltar persiguiendo la Flota, ''Galactica'' y los 220 barcos que conduce de sus agresores evitan las trampas de muerte de Cylon, como las de [[Arcta/es|Arcta]] (el "[[Ravashol pulsar/es|Pulsador Ravashol]]"), y todos los ataques (por ejemplo [[Battle of Gamoray/es|Batalla de Gamoray]] y el [[Cylon Destructive Suicide Missions/es|Destructive Suicide Missions]]).

Eventualmente, un [[Battle at Galaxy's Edge/es|atentado atrevido y exitoso en una solitaria estrella base]] lleva a Adama a creer que pudieron haber superado al Cylons— que, aparentemente, han difundido sus recursos delgados en un intento de localizar a los humanos restantes {{OS/es|The Hand of God}}.

== Tie-in Material Information ==
* ''Según ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica/es|Enciclopedia Galáctica]]'' (una mercancía no canónica publicada en 1979):''
: Los Cylons originales eran una raza reptiliana tecnológicamente avanzada desde un rincón lejano de la galaxia. Mientras murieron hace muchos milenios, poco se conoce de su sociedad. Deben haber sido de guerra e imperialistas desde que en el momento de su extinción ya habían conquistado cientos de otros mundos.

: La clave para el éxito de las conquistas tempranas de Cylon fue su desarrollo, primero de robots sofisticados, y luego de androides totalmente inteligentes. Estas máquinas fueron construidas para soportar un enorme estrés, para tener una gran fuerza y una poderosa capacidad computacional. Los ejércitos de ellos barrieron a través del sector tras el sector de la galaxia. Pero en última instancia, las máquinas se convirtieron en los superiores de sus creadores, y los Cylons mismos fueron destruidos por sus propias máquinas.

: Los androides Cylon, reptilianos en forma como sus maestros, continuaron la misión de destrucción a la que habían sido asignados. Máquinas que eran, ellos barrieron a través de la galaxia aún más despiadadamente que sus maestros. Las directivas de su programación cristalizaron en un único Edicto de Exterminación, que pidió la destrucción de todas las formas de vida inteligentes en la galaxia.

: Los Cylons han combinado ocasionalmente fuerzas con seres como el [[Ovions/es|Ovions]], pero pocas criaturas son más útiles para los Cylons vivos que muertos. Por lo tanto, es probable que el número de miembros del GTPT0094X siga siendo pequeño. Los Cylon no tienen concepto de amistad o lealtad, y están programados para exterminar a sus aliados vivos lo antes posible.

.: Los Cylon modernos son básicamente humanos. El tipo más común es el [[Centurion (TOS)/es|Centurion]], un soldado fuertemente blindado capaz de operar un [[Raider (TOS)/es|Raider]] y pilotar un [[Basestar (TOS)/es|Base de referencia]] o Dreadnought, y también adaptable a la invasión y exterminio planetario. No son de alta inteligencia, pero pueden producirse de forma barata en masa. Por lo tanto, una estrategia común de Cylon es abrumar al enemigo con un gran número de centuriones, muchos de los cuales serán destruidos, dejando un número suficiente de sobrevivientes para llevar el día. Los Cylons más avanzados son del [[IL-series/es|I-L Series]] (sic). Tanto [[Lucifer/es|Lucifer]], ayudante del Comandante [[Baltar (TOS)/es|Baltar]], como el [[Imperious Leader/es|Imperious Leader]] mismo son de este tipo. Serie I-L Cylons tiene habilidades de razonamiento agudo, y puede monitorear directamente la telemetría electrónica de hasta cincuenta fuentes simultáneamente. Mucho más que simples autómatas, el I-L de vez en cuando exhibe unidades humanas para el poder. Los citolonólogos humanos especulan que esta respuesta de ambición fue programada deliberadamente en el I-L para asegurar el pronto reemplazo de liderazgo incompetente.

: El primer contacto humano-cilón ocurrió en [[5547/es|5547]], cuando fuerzas humanas combinadas llegaron a la defensa de sus aliados anfibios, el [[Hasari/es|Hasaris]]. Los humanos no estaban preparados para la ofensiva masiva de Cylon, y su flota fue pronto obligada a volver a los perímetros de defensa externa de [[The Twelve Colonies of Man/es|sus propias colonias]]. Este fue el comienzo del [[Thousand-Yahren War/es|guerra del Gran Cilón]].

: Los humanos demostraron ser los enemigos más formidables que los Cylons habían enfrentado. Sin imaginación para responder a los avances humanos creativamente, los Cylons se adaptaron de la única manera que podían: por imitación. Sus Centuriones fueron diseñados para parecerse cada vez más a los humanos, y sus armas fueron rediseñados en consecuencia. Los anticipos de armas humanas fueron alcanzados rápidamente por copias de Cylon, de modo que la guerra permaneció en estancamiento por cientos de [[yahren/es|yahren]]. El GTPT0107X y el genio militar del Comandante [[Cain (TOS)/es|Cain]] habían empujado a los Cylons al punto de ruptura, cuando la traición de Baltar llevó al GTPT0109X cercano de la humanidad. <ref>{{cite_book/es|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica/es|Enciclopedia Galáctica]]|publisher=|location=|id=|pages=28-30}}</ref>

== Cylons in other media ==
{{Separate continuity/es|type=line|universe=TOS}}
En las novedades de Berkley para la serie original, el estatus de los Cylons en el Imperio Cylon está determinado por el número de cerebros que poseen.

Los centuriones comienzan con un cerebro, pero pueden alcanzar un estado de "segundo cerebro". El propio Líder Imperious logra un tercer estado cerebral.

Alcanzar un segundo o tercer complejos de estado cerebral en el Cylon convirtiéndose en un "tipo reptiliano de bestia" mentalmente. <ref>{{cite_book/es|last=Thurston|first=Robert|authorlink=Robert Thurston|authorlinkurl=|year=September 1979|title=[[The Tombs of Kobol/es|Battlestar Galactica 3: Las Tumbas de Kobol]]|publisher=Berkley Books|pages=3|location=|id=}}</ref>

=== aduanas Cylon ===
Los Cylon tienen varias costumbres en su sociedad. Una de estas costumbres es tener un nombre oficial y un nombre secreto. Los nombres oficiales se utilizan cuando se comunican a los no-Cylons y se considera humillante si los extraños aprenden el nombre secreto de un Cylon. Además, el nombre secreto es parte del sector secreto del lenguaje Cylon. <ref name="tok-4">''Ibid.'', 4</ref>

[[Lucifer (alternate)/es|Lucifer]], a pesar de no ser un Cylon real en las novedades pero más bien una construcción robótica, se permite adoptar esta costumbre. En su conversación con [[Baltar (TOS alternate)/es|Baltar]], Lucifer le informa que "Lucifer" es en realidad un acrónimo de su nombre secreto. <ref name="tok-4"/>

=== Cylon construye ===
En las novedades, Lucifer es una construcción Cylon. Se le considera una "enviancia cibernética ambulatoria" y es el resultado de los desarrollos de Cylons en diferentes tecnologías durante la guerra de Thousand Yahren. Además, Lucifer afirma que puede fabricar máquinas y que tiene un alma, ya que pudo crear su propia personalidad. <ref>''Ibid.'', 6-7.</ref>

=== Historia del Cylon ===
La serie cómica Realm Press da una historia a los Cylons en el [[1999 Tourbook/es|1999 Tourbook]].
