{{Character Data
'''Andromus''' is the commander of the advanced "A-B" [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] fighter. His fighter crashes, and he takes [[Centuri]] (the only other survivor of the crash) on a mission to transmit a distress signal back to the Cylons. He and Centauri hitch a ride to a party, where they meet Wolfman Jack. Centauri is disabled by a microwave, so Andromus destroys the microwave and sets fire to the apartment allowing them to kidnap Wolfman Jack. They make Wolfman Jack take them to his radio station, where they plan to send the distress signal. They are thwarted by [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]], and a disoriented Centauri carries Andromus off of the building to their deaths ([[The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I|The Night the Cylons Landed]]).

Andromus is the commander of an advanced A-B Raider with a unique Cylon physical form: the appearance of a human, who is more android than a biological construct, with a built in energy weapon in his hand. He is accompanied by Andromidus, another human-looking Cylon, and semi-eponymous Centurion, Centuri.

After interception by Kanon's Viper, Andromus' fighter is ensnared by Earth's gravity field and crash-lands in outside New York City. With Andromidus destroyed in the crash, he takes Centuri on a mission to transmit a distress signal back to the Cylons, activating the Raider's self-destruct device before hand (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").

He and Centuri are picked up by Norman and Shirley Blore en route to a Halloween party, with Shirley believing they are Halloween guests and impressed by Centuri's appearance. Andromus and Centuri are brought to a party hosted by Arnie and Mildred, where they met Wolfman Jack. Centuri is disabled by radiation from a microwave oven during the heating of Arnie's meatballs. Andromus uses his energy beam weapon to destroy the microwave and infamous appetizer, setting fire in the apartment. This distraction allows him to kidnap Wolfman Jack by employing his power of persuasion.

They head for Wolfman Jack's radio station, WQSL, where they plan to send their distress signal, only to be thwarted by Troy and Dillon during a shoot-out where Andromus is damaged by laser fire.

A disoriented Centuri carries Andromus off the top of the radio station's building to their demise, their remains dumped unknowingly into a refuse truck (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II").

Notes

  • Andromus is the first instance of the concept of a humanoid Cylon in the Battlestar Galactica universe. The concept would be re-visited to dramatic effect 23 years later in the Re-imagined Series, although those Cylons wouldn't be androids, but biological creations.
  • Andromus was scripted to appear in the episode "The Super Scouts, Part I" during the attack on the freighter Delphi, which showed the brief debut of the "A-B Raider".[1] However, the scripted scenes never made their way into the episode: either they were never shot or were removed during the editing process.
