In the Re-imagined Series, the robots known as the Cylons (Cybernetic Life-form Nodes) are a creation of humanity. The Twelve Colonies of Kobol mistakenly believed they were the first to create them. The first Cylons were sentient[1] bipedal robots used primarily for dangerous work such as mining. Created long before the Articles of Colonization united the twelve sovereign governments, the Cylons were also used as soldiers to fight inter-colony wars.
Over the span of the re-imagined series, the term "Cylon" comes to refer to many types of synthetic life-forms, be they robotic or biological.
不明な理由[2]で、 コロニアル・バトルスター・ギャラクティカが退役する52年前,[3]、サイロンは主人に反乱を起こし、その結果、機械と人間の12年間の長期にわたる戦争となる。サイロン・ベーススター、コロニアル・バトルスター、レイダー、バイパーが激しい戦闘を繰り広げ、サイロンと人間の両者とも大きな犠牲を払った。最後の戦いはコロニアル側のラプター・タロン作戦である。[4]
突如として両者は停戦を宣言する。[5] The Cylons become exiled from the Colonies to establish their own homeworld.
The unified worlds of the Colonies created a space station for maintaining diplomatic relations. However, the Cylons ignored this overture.

The Cylon hatred and envy of humanity ran deep within their programming.
In their exile, the Cylons continued in secret to work towards the destruction of the human race, devising an elaborate plan to wipe out the Twelve Colonies through nuclear bombardment, computer sabotage, infiltration and vast numbers of modernized battleships.
In addition to a modernized version of the original Cylon warrior, the cybernetic race now also exists in a humanoid form used as the prime infiltrators in Colonial society. The humanoid Cylons can express joy, love, anger, and sadness, expressing genuine human behavior in almost every way.
The Cylons return forty years after their exile in a genocidal surprise attack. The Cylons annihilate the Colonial Fleet and billions of people, killing all but approximately 52,000 humans.[6] These survivors are pursued by the Cylons, initially guarded only by a lone battlestar, Galactica. The Fleet seeks a new home, the legendary home of the lost Thirteenth Tribe of Kobol - Earth.
Through many trials and tribulations, despite great suffering and loss, the remnants of Colonial society eventually make it to Earth, where the revealed Final Five Cylons learn an essential secret of their nature: They are the last remnant of the Thirteenth Tribe. An earlier generation of Cylons from Kobol, they colonized Earth only to make the same mistake the humans had - creating and mistreating their own set of Cylon servants. The resulting war left their home a radioactive wasteland.
Surviving through rediscovered resurrection techniques, the Final Five make a 2,000 year relativistic journey to warn the Twelve Colonies to keep their Cylons close and to treat them well. They arrive too late, in the middle of the "First Cylon War" ... and their solution to bring peace to Cylon and Humanity takes a turn that no one could have foreseen ...
