Talk:Cylon homeworld/Archive 1

If the Cylon homeworld's location is known, would there be an offensive against it to end the second Cylon war after The Fleet finds Earth? -- John-1107 21:46, 21 January 2006 (EST)

Far too generic. Implied that if ever the humans survive out in space to make new colonies, find Earth, whatever, the Cylons fear that, human nature being what it is, they will return one day to take revenge, as stated in the miniseries. "One Day", as in "generations from now". Not in their lifetime, no. One or two battlestars against the entire Cylon fleet? Impossible. --Ricimer 12:19, 23 January 2006 (EST)

Could it be assumed that it is a largely marine world? Or similar to the one in "Water". Lots of clues lead us to this 1)Cylon bodies can withstand immense water pressure 2)Cylon Biomech appears to derive certain aspects from deep sea marine life, including, probably, its independancy from solar energy I dunno, just a suggestion, cuz its hinted I believe. Also their tech looks very marine as well.--Sauron18 20 February 2006

The homeworld's specific location isn't known, but we take Gaeta's comment that the Colonials had a general idea. As far as the "marine world" idea: It's likely as hospitable as they needed it to be. Remember that the original Cylons that the humans fought were mechanical; they could use practically any planet that their hardware could withstand; it need not necessarily be an Earth-like planet just because the Cylons also have humanoid models (which likely appeared long after their migration). Further, we know that the Cylon agents can do superhuman feats such as strength, so while their bodies appear human, there is still a machine element there that gives them superhuman abilities; no water necessarily required. I don't know of any solar energy requirements either noted in the series inferred or expressed; the Cylon agent appears to work with the same foodstuffs as humans, and Centurions are powered on whatever they're powered on. --Spencerian 22:37, 20 February 2006 (EST)

I see no reason to think it's a marine world whatsoever; they can withstand high water pressure just because (it's already been established) they're stronger than humans, and the other stuff is just speculation. We can't really make any productive speculation on the Cylon homeworld at this point. --The Merovingian 23:05, 20 February 2006 (EST)
