The Cylons are a cybernetic race and the primary antagonists of the Colonial Fleet. Their goal is the complete annihilation of the human race.
The Cylon military is composed primarily of chrome-armored Centurions. They command a variety of spacecraft, including Raiders, basestars, and specialized assault ships.[1][2][3] Their tactics are often sophisticated, going beyond direct assault. They have used a human pawn controlled by an impulse microvator to attempt to destroy Galactica from within (Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 1).[4] They also form strategic alliances with local tyrants, such as Mendrix on Zaroak, to exploit planetary resources and enslave populations (Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 4).[5]
The Cylon Empire is commanded by the Imperious Leader, a reptilian being who rules from a basestar.[6]
A key vulnerability of the Cylons is their cybernetic nature. They are shown to be susceptible to panic when faced with the illogical threat of a biological plague, a weakness Apollo exploits to escape captivity (Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 3).[7]
