Resurrection tub

A resurrection tub is a large, humanoid adult-sized vat where the consciousness of a deceased humanoid Cylon is transferred to a new Cylon body. The tub contains a thick opaque gel where the new body is suspended.Hybrids are suspended in a similarly-designed vat, but are directly connected via many conduits and thus are not ambulatory. A blue light shines down onto the resurrected Cylon's head.
The tub apparently acts as a receiver from a Cylon download station (either planetary-based or via a Resurrection Ship) where the consciousness of a killed humanoid Cylon is re-integrated into a new body to begin life anew. Other Cylons tend to the new body as its consciousness reforms, encouraging and comforting the recovered person in a fashion that may be reminiscent to viewers as midwifery.
The copy of Number Six that plays a dominant role in the Fall of the Twelve Colonies is resurrected in the tank, as is the Galactica-stationed Number Eight model formerly known as Sharon "Boomer" Valerii .
The resurrection tub plays a principal role in boxing Cylons as well. The Cylon to be boxed is apparently killed and allowed to resurrect within the tub and just like the resurrection process, another Cylon is there to receive them. Instead of helping them to adjust to their new body, the Cylon removes a small data storage device from the side of the tub which is used to transfer the Cylon's consciousness. When the device is removed, the transfer is completed and the Cylon in the tub becomes lifeless. Apparently, a newly downloaded Cylon is too weak after the transfer to physically resist, aiding in the process .
Separate from the Significant Seven, husks of the Final Five are ministered solely by various Number Ones, as information on the Final Five is compartmentalized to the Ones exclusively .
== Pre-First Cylon War Predecessors ==
Circa 00BYR (2000 BCH), proto-humanoid Cylons known later as the Final Five rediscover "organic memory download," creating and installing tubs on their vessel that orbits the first Earth after receiving harbingers from Messengers. The Five download into these tubs after the machines created and enslaved by the Thirteenth Tribe rise up against their masters, forcing their exodus and two thousand year sojourn to warn the descendants of the other Twelve Tribes .
Much later, between 42YR to 48YR (52 BCH to 58 BCH), a Caprica-made resurrection tub is manufactured by Daniel, Amanda and Zoe Graystone, allowing Zoe's digital consciousness to download into an android husk that is an earlier iteration of the humanoid Cylon .

Returner virus

:For related articles on biological and cybernetic attacks, see Virus.
After the Returners escape with zip pods to stowaway on several ships in the Fleet, over three-quarters of the Fleet's population are infected with a virus that leaves the victim extremely lethargic to the point of exhaustion (Battlestar Galactica 2).

Returners

The Returners are thirty-three Colonial citizens, most known to be long dead, who reappear, apparently very much alive, in an old Colonial ship, Medivac 12, encountered by battlestar Galactica as it passed by an old Colonial battlefield of Colonial ships in a region of space very far away from the Twelve Colonies (Battlestar Galactica 0).
Laura Roslin, reading from the Sacred Scrolls, notes a passage that "The dead shall return in an ark of fire." Medivac 12 is suffering from hull breaches and internal fires as its inhabitants ward off Cylon Centurion attacks. 
While Commander William Adama and his son, , strongly believe the people to be Cylon constructs similar to Humanoid Cylons, Caprica-Valerii tells them that these people are not Cylons (Battlestar Galactica 1).
Kara Thrace is unsure of the nature of these people, particularly after she encounters her dead fiancé, Zak Adama, aboard the ship (Battlestar Galactica 0). Anastasia Dualla's brother, Darrin, also appears on the derelict ship.
Some of the Returners escape via zip pods to other ships in the Fleet, despite Galactica's quarantine order (Battlestar Galactica 1). The people, unwillingly or intentionally, spread a contagion that incapacitates most of the crew (Battlestar Galactica 2).
Gaius Baltar, investigating the craft, discovers that the Returners are Cylon constructs of a sort. The beings are clones implanted with memories of the dead, used by the Cylons to study human nature in preparation for the creation of the twelve humanoid Cylon models. Billy Keikeya, pouring through available records, confirms that every one of the Returners were people who died while in some kind of flight, and were not on the ground or in a building at the time of their death (Battlestar Galactica 3).
== List of Returners ==
The following is a list of known Returners, including how their originals had died and how long ago they died, in relation to the events of the comics.
Name 	Colony 	Death
Darrin Dualla 	Sagitaria	Airline accident, seven years prior
Jane Esolia 	Gemenon 	Sky King Disaster, six years prior
Sparto Relamia	Sagitaria	Unknown
Zak Adama 	 	Killed during his qualifying run, two years prior to the Miniseries
 	Gemenon 	Unknown
 	Aerilon 	Unknown
Marco Lesa 	Caprica 	Killed by the Cylons
 	Virgon 	Unknown
 	Caprica 	Unknown
==Notes==
The concept of the deceased returning occurs in the main continuity as the fleet encounters a miraculously alive Kara Thrace . Considering the issue, Lee Adama muses about what would happen if Zak returned in a similar fashion, and Starbuck herself considers the possibility that she is a Cylon construct similar to that described above.

Rhapsody Station

In the novelization of the Miniseries, Kara Thrace comments that has almost no ammunition because it was offloaded at Rhapsody Station prior to their decommissioning ceremony.
A deleted scene from the Miniseries shows otherwise. Galactica herself, as part of her decommissioning ceremony with the crew, bundles its unneeded ordnance and sends it into space to be remotely detonated and destroyed. The facility of Rhapsody Station is not mentioned anywhere in the Miniseries.
==Notes==
*The novelization of the Miniseries has other marked differences from the aired or sourced content of the series, such as Natasi (who we would later know as Caprica-Six) and Jane Cally (who we would later find out is the name of Cally Henderson). As a result, these differences makes the novelization a separate continuity from the Re-imagined Series canon.

Richard Lynch

Richard Lynch (February 12, 1940 — June 19, 2012) was the Brooklyn, New York-born actor who portrayed Wolfe in the Original Series, the first Xaviar in Galactica 1980 and Count Iblis in Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming. He is the only actor to hold the distinction for appearing in Battlestar Galactica, Galactica 1980, and Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming.
Prior to acting, Lynch was said to have put himself on fire while under the influence of LSD in 1967, which resulted in the distinctive, scarred facial features he is known by. Due to those features and his platinum hair, Lynch was often cast as "heavies" or villains during his career, which included roles in various films and television series, namely in the horror, science fiction and fantasy genres. 
As an actor, Lynch's feature film debut was in 1973's Scarecrow, and thus 160+ roles in various films and television series followed, including his aforementioned Battlestar roles.
Outside of the Battlestar Galactica universe, he had guest roles in various Glen Larson and Don Bellisario series, including Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Manimal, The A-Team, and The Fall Guy. 
Lynch also appeared in other well-known series, such as TJ Hooker, Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. 
As part of his later film career, he made an appearance in the 2007 remake of Halloween. His last acting appearance will be in the film The Lords of Salem, which was in post-production at the time of his death on 19 June 2012. 
The details of his death were explained in an official statement from his spokesperson, Mike Baronas. According to Baronas, one of Lynch's friends found Lynch dead on the kitchen floor of his home after not hearing from him for a few days. He is believed to have died from natural causes, as "no investigation into the cause of his death will be made."

Rick Worthy

Rick Worthy (born March 12, 1967) is an actor and Star Trek veteran, having played several alien and one human role in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. In the Re-imagined Series, he portrays the Humanoid Cylon Simon/Number Four.
A native of Michigan's Detroit/Southfield area, Worthy studied Tae Kwon Do at a young age. Graduating from Southfield Senior High School in 1985 and from University of Michigan in 1990, he became a stage actor in Detroit, later moving to Chicago, Illinois to develop his theatre background. Later, he moved to Los Angeles, California to further his film and television work.
Among his many television credits, Worthy also had a supporting role in the Star Trek film, Star Trek: Insurrection, starring the cast of the TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. This makes Worthy among one of the very few supporting actors to have worked in Star Trek theatrical releases as well as with every Star Trek series cast except the cast of the Original Series.
Worthy also had a role in a short-lived 2005 private-eye drama on CBS, Eyes. Worthy has also guest-starred in "The Warrior," an episode of Stargate SG-1, where he made use of his Tae Kwon Do and stunt fighting skills, the latter of which were obtained from his previous work on The Magnificent Seven television series.

Riftis

Riftis, who later hides under the alias of Chella, was the administrator of Solius prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. 
After surviving the initial attack on Caprica, he is slated to board the freighter Piscon, but misses the transport due to his fears of death at Cylon hands. With 8,000 cubits, he bribes Flight Sergeant Ortega and thus boards Rising Star while it is being loaded with caretakers and juveniles that could be brought to the Fleet.
Riftis assumes the name of Chella as part of a ruse to fool people into believing that he died in the attacks. As part of his new life, he becomes Table Three's Pyramid dealer on Rising Star and frequent spectator to the Triad tournaments. 
Much to Riftis' consternation, Ortega blackmails him: in return for the Warrior's silence, Riftis rigs the Pyramid game in Ortega's favor. 
As the Fleet continues on its journey, he later discovers the well-disliked Ortega shot dead between an ajar door. Riftis accuses of the crime, saying that the Warrior was rushing out of the scene of the crime, and was certainly irritated due to Starbuck's ejection from the Triad game. (Unbeknownst to him, Starbuck was catching up to meet Cassiopeia before she left on the next transport out.)
Upon information given in the testimonial of Flight Sergeant Barton, Starbuck's defenders—Captain and Lieutenant —visit "Chella" and discover the truth. 
Although a suspect, he is later found innocent of murdering Ortega, and is visibly relieved that the truth is finally out in the open. He expresses his guilt over feeling responsible for the death of the child that would have otherwise taken his spot .
