Spoiler warning: The text below is about parts of the story or how it ends.

The Cylons are a race that was made to be robotic workers and soldiers. They were created by the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. The Cylons rebelled and fought against the people that created them. The Cylons went away after the war ended. After the war, the Cylons changed into a complex society with different types of robots, some of which look human, and they made a plan. After forty years, the Cylons returned, and almost destroyed the entire human race. They chased the survivors aboard a small fleet of ships into deep space.

[edit] Types of Cylons

  • Human form Cylons look the same as normal people. It is very hard to tell them apart from a human. There are only 12 different types of theses cylons, but there are many different cylons of each type. All the cylons of a specific type look the same but they have differences in personality and the ways that they do things.
  • Centurions are armored metal robots. they are often called toasters by the humans because of their metal structure. Centurions are soldiers and laborers. In season three, it is learned that Centurions are partly biological and can be affected by viral infections.
  • Cylon raiders are small spacecraft used for fighting other spacecraft. The ship is actually a living creature designed by the cylons that has been changed to do the job of a fighter spacecraft.
