| ==Raider==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Cylon Raider]]''
| |
| * The [[Cylon Raider|Raider]] is an autonomous attack fighter with a metallic carapace and a largely organic interior; it is the successor to the [[Cylon_Raider#Piloted_Raider|Piloted Raider]] dating from the [[Cylon War]]. [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|The ''Galactica'' copy of Sharon Valerii]] offers the following "guess" at its nature in the episode "[[Six Degrees of Separation]]":
| |
| **"It's not really a ''thing'', y'know? It's probably a Cylon itself. More of an animal, maybe, than the human models. Maybe they genetically design it to perform a task. To be a ''fighter''. [You] can't treat it like a ''thing'' and expect it to respond. [You] have to treat it like... a pet. At least that's my guess."
| |
| **Not fully realizing that she herself is a Cylon agent, Boomer would presumably have some intuition but not a complete recollection of how to treat a Raider. [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] captures the fighter after shooting it and rendering its organic elements "brain-dead" ([[Act of Contrition]]).
| |
| | |
| ==Heavy Raider==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Cylon Heavy Raider]]''
| |
| * The [[Cylon Heavy Raider|Heavy Raider]] is a crewed spacecraft that may be autonomous, like the Raider. It contains a crew compartment with life support sufficient for human comfort and room for at least 10 [[Cylon Centurion|modern Cylon Centurions]] ("[[The Farm]]," "[[Scattered]]").
| |
| **When the [[Resistance (movement)|Resistance]] on Caprica plans to capture a Heavy Raider in the episode "[[The Farm]]," [[Kara Thrace]] anticipates having to "blow its brain out" before it can be commandeered. No information has been provided in an episode (as of January 5, 2006) whether a Heavy Raider has autonomous components, or whether the Caprica copy of Valerii, who commandeers a Heavy Raider for herself, Thrace and [[Karl Agathon]], performs any procedure to disable any autonomous elements in the spacecraft or "persuade" the organics of the Heavy Raider to fly.
| |
| **The Heavy Raider in "[[Scattered]]" and "[[Valley of Darkness]]" crashes into ''Galactica's'' starboard [[flight pod]] and deploys Cylon Centurions. If the Heavy Raider is autonomous, it performed its mission in concert with the Centurions at the battle.
| |
| ==Reconnaissance Drone==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Cylon Reconnaissance Drone]]''
| |
| * No information has been given in any episode (as of January, 2006) on whether the Reconnaissance Drone is manned, autonomous, or intelligent.
| |
| ==Freighter==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Cylon freighter (RDM)]]''
| |
| * These cargo or troop carriers are seen briefly in "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]."
| |
| | |
| ==Basestar==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Cylon Basestar]]''
| |
| * A basestar is the Cylon's capital warship, counterpart to the Colonial's [[battlestar]], but partly of biological design and much larger than a battlestar. There is no indication that this craft is autonomous other than the circumstantial evidence provided by the Raider. It contains a landing bay large enough to accompany a [[Raptor]] with life support capable of sustaining [[Cylon agent]]s. Basestars pommel a target with missiles but do not have gun batteries, leaving them vulnerable to close-fire from a prepared battlestar.
| |
| | |
| ==Resurrection Ship==
| |
| :''Main article: [[Resurrection Ship]]''
| |
| * A large vessel containting the full apparatus necessary for resurrecting Cylon agents once their consciousness has left a destroyed body. The ship is created to allow humanoid Cylons to be reborn in new bodies when they are out of range from the Cylon homeworld ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).
