Origins[edit]

In the reimagined series, Cylons are a creation of man, used primarily for dangerous work. The Cylons revolted against their masters, eventually killing off all but approximately 50,000 humans.

Evolution[edit]

Cylons eventually evolved or created new models of Cylons known as Humano-Cylons. With the exception of a glowing red spine, it is quite difficult to determine the difference between a Humano-Cylon and a "pure" human. (TPTB have expressed that the glowing red spine was, in retrospect, a continuity error that was visually appealing at the time.) Dr. Gaius Baltar was able to successfully build a Cylon Detector, however, being under the influence of Number Six, he has determined it is simpler for everyone "if all the results are green."

Religion[edit]

Cylons are monotheistic, as opposed to the polytheistic humans. Please add critical analysis of this central point of Human/Cylon relations.

Twelve Models of Cylon[edit]

The series has established there are 12 models of Cylons. There are currently six known models.

Cylon Centurion Model 0005[edit]

The "basic" model still extant from the Cylon War. This model also bridges the reimagined series to the Original Series.

Cylon Warrior[edit]

Presumably an upgraded Model 0005, with greater physical capabilities and projectile weapons built into the forearms.
