Cylonics

: For the canonical depiction of this race, see: Cylons (TOS).
Cylonics are mechanical, bi-pedaled robots created by Professor Baltar during the Ovion Wars (Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1) utilizing the raw materials on the Colonial prison planet Helia (Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 2).
Coordinated by the babbage computer Lu-c-fer, the Cylonic Knights were able to turn the tide in the Ovion Wars. Following the end of this conflict, Baltar used the Cylonics in his quest for personal power, thwarted by Archduke Adama and the Quorum.
Baltar, Lu-c-fer, and the Cylonics went into exile, settling on the planet Gamoray. From there, they established a presence and created larger armies to return and wage war on the Twelve Colonies.
== Cylonic Knights ==
Cylonic Knights are the ground force and fodder, typically the size of a standard adult humanoid. 
Mechanically, Cylonic Knights are clockwork machinery programmed via punchcard. 
Knights are armored, featuring a single eye-slit with a "roving" red eye that moves to and fro. Knights are capable of basic speech consisting of various whrrrs interspersed in statements, e.g. "by whrrr command."
For weaponry, Knights have guns in their arms, the muzzles to which are located in the palm. Knights may also use hand-held weaponry.
As a next iteration of the Cylonic Knight, Baltar intends to use Human brains to operate them, and his Cylonics abduct Apollo for such a conversion (Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1).
== Cylonic Centurions ==
Cylonic CenturionsThis name is from Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 2. are larger, sky-scraper tall versions of the Cylonic Knights, and are the newer creations of their self-titled "Imperious Leader," Baltar. They look and act like Cylonic Knights with a few exceptions, namely that the aforementioned Knights can be deployed by palm-guns and that it takes a Knight's head to "plug into" the machine to operate it.
Centurions are heavily armored and able to resist aethership weapons fire. However, the Colonial Empire's forces were able to defeat some Centurions by "tripping" them using cables delivered by grapples.
Centurions are put to use during their ground assault on Caprica, and aid in Caprica's destruction by firing Knights at the aethership Atlantia, thus allowing the Knights to board the ship and turn it into a bomb that destroys the colony (Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 1).
== Cylonic Aetherships ==
The Cylonics use aetherships of both capital and fighter classes; larger ships are known as while smaller fighter crafts are known as (Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880 2 & 3).
== Notes ==
* The Cylonic Centurions were inspired by the Jaeger tech from Pacific Rim.

Cylons

The Cylons are the adversaries of the humans who inhabit the Twelve Colonies. Their destruction of the Colonies forms the central plotline of the Battlestar Galactica sagas.

Cylons (SDS)

The failed 2001 continuation project to revive Battlestar Galactica sported a robotic Cylon design that was remarkably larger and more complex than the chrome costumes used for the Original Series Centurion from the Original Series.
Conceptual drawings, created by Guy Dyas, showed two Cylon models, one a soldier, the other designed as a Raider pilot. Suit mock-ups were also created by Global Effects, Inc.
The artwork reached a mock-up stage before production was halted on the project in late 2001.

Cylons (TOS alternate reality)

The Cylons are entirely comprised of robots, originally the creation of a reptilian race that were also known as Cylons. From that seed, the Cylon Empire became a dominant, aggressive force that spread throughout the galaxy. Arresting this spread were the humans of , who fought a Thousand-Yahren War where the humans were destroyed by their own hubris and the machinations of traitors, such as and . 
In an alternate reality, presided over the war effort as president of the . Following Cylon victory, Adama relegated his role as the leader of the Colonial Resistance, leading to the appointment of Baltar to oversee humanity's total subjugation or destruction, whichever suits the needs of the moment (). 
Exploiting Zee's talents and drive to find ways to selfishly prolong his own existence, Baltar becomes the the first hybridized Human-Cylon entity, known by his amalgamated name Baltifer ( & ). 
== Cylon craft ==
There are two known Cylon spacecraft:
* Basestar (or Baseship): Capital ships of the Cylon military force, analogous to the Colonial battlestar. Baltar commands such a craft.
* Raider: The primary fighter of the Cylon forces, manned by two pilots and a ship commander. Raiders have been outfitted with electronic tractor beams, capable of ensnaring craft ().
== Cylon units ==
* , a foot soldier of the Empire in humanoid form, often armed with laser rifles.
** Centurions are also outfitted with an electric stunning weapon in their vambrace, used on during his time in custody aboard Baltifer's basestar ().
** A Centurion is modified to convey a decrepit , complete with necessary life sustaining equipment that Zee requires. 
* Cylon Warden, a large unit armed with rotating weaponry, and center piece of 's holding cells.
* Tech spider, a large crawlon-like robot used to repair, analyze, scan, and dissect technological items.
== Notable Cylons ==
* , supreme leader of the Empire.
* , a former drone later merged with , thus creating Baltifer ().
* , a Centurion assigned as subjugator of ' population ().
== Weaknesses ==
Utilizing a captured Imperious Leader and other Cylon units, 's technicians and scientists create two distinct anti-Cylon technologies.
=== Sensor shield ===
The is a defensive technology circumventing Cylon electronic detection abilities, employed on the incongruous .
Its use requires the ship to be immobile, presumably to avoid any spatial disruption ().
=== Signal disruptor ===
The , or , prevents Centurions from acting for a time through a transmission of a signal ( & ). 
It has the drawback of also affecting Colonial systems, and thus it is deployed when units are clear from the disruptor's sphere of influence ().

Cylons (alternate)

: For the Cylons of the canon, see: Cylons (TOS).
The Cylons are robots created by a race of reptilian creatures, themselves called Cylons.
In "Armageddon," it is revealed that the Cylons still pursue the Fleet, and have even rescued despite his abandonment of them in "War of the Gods, Part I". They have also probed deeper in the universe, having placed remote outposts well past the Krillian Star System, in such places as Binary 13's Ochoa.
There are also three types of Cylons:
* Centurions, who are said to not be "completely mindless, but almost helpless without the constant guidance" from the Imperious Leader.
* Imperious Leader, which is taken from the IL-series, and live for a period of two hundred yahren.
* IL-series, while not specifically mentioned, this is the group of Cylons that Lucifer belongs to. Future Imperious Leaders are chosen from members of this group.

Cynthia

Cynthia is an acquaintance of Jerome Zarek and Karen Zarek, in addition to being somehow related to an man named Taylor.
Karen Zarek tells her husband that Cynthia wanted to know whether they'd want to play cards later that day. While Jerome Zarek commits to the card game, a succeeding announcement that the Cylons turned against their masters casts doubt as to whether this card game was ever played that night (Battlestar Galactica: Zarek 1).

Cyranite

Cyranite is an energy source that affects long-range communications of Colonial s, and is in use by the Colonials (The Law of Volahd, Part 1). Technology using cyranite as an energy source requires that it must flow continously from a main source; disruption to this source would cause devastating effects (The Law of Volahd, Part 2).
The Acmarans' homeworld contains a high volume of this material, which is critical for the survival of the Fleet (The Law of Volahd, Part 1).
Cyranite is the primary power source for both Salis and the force field, a column of cyranite-fed energy is in the center chamber of the city. Taron disrupts this field after discovering, much to his horror and anger, that he himself was turned into a cyborg construct without his knowledge by Cylon hands (The Law of Volahd, Part 2).

:For other uses of "Cyrannus," see Cyrannus.
Cyrannus (also spelled "Cyrannus") is the name of the solar system containing the worlds of the Twelve Colonies of Man in the Battlestar Galactica video game, published in 2003.
The 2003 video game has its own continuity (as opposed to the Re-imagined Series or ) that draws from elements of the Original Series and the Thousand Yahren War and elements apparently slated for the first revival attempt of "Battlestar Galactica" as a new TV series by Bryan Singer and Tom DeSanto in 2001.
==Notes==
*No aired episode of the Re-imagined Series has used "Cyrannus" as the name of their solar system. Therefore, the official name of the solar system of the Twelve Colonies for the Re-imagined Series is unknown.
*It's not known in the video game whether Cyrannus is a single star with multiple life-bearing planets, or a binary, a trinary star system, or an open cluster of stars.
*This information is part of a separate continuity that mixes elements from the Re-imagined Series and as well as unique material. It is not a canonical item in either series.

Cyrus Xander

Doctor Cyrus Xander is Daniel Graystone's assistant at Graystone Industries 58 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Sometime prior to relocating to Caprica, Xander witnessed or heard of authorities on his home colony arresting suspected enemies and causing them to disappear forever (CAP: "Apotheosis").
Xander interfaces with the Ministry of Defense on the U-87 Project that begets the creation of the Cylon prototype. He worries that the contract for U-87 project would go off world to Tomas Vergis, after discovering that Vergis Corporation successfully created a meta-cognitive processor. He is present at the demonstration of the Cylon prototype to Joan Leyte, the new Caprican Minister of Defense (CAP: Caprica pilot) and later informs Daniel that the original prototype is the only machine to be self-aware and possess true, adaptive artificial intelligence .
Sometime afterward, Xander takes on the role of defender and personal supporter for Daniel. In the wake of Amanda Graystone's public statements about their daughter's involvement in the Maglev bombing, he arranges for Priyah Magnus to consult Daniel on a public relations strategy . At a meeting of Graystone Industries senior executives, Xander responds to demands for Daniel's removal by reminding them that "Daniel Graystone is the brand" and that removing him would be suicide for the company . Xander is dismayed and angered to hear that Daniel used Ha'la'tha to steal the meta-cognitive processor, but eventually calmed and offered guidance on how he should talk with Tomas Vergis and deal with Vergis' accusations . As problems mount and Vergis takes the CEO position from Daniel, Xander remains loyal to Daniel, keeping the ruined remains of the original U-87 despite Vergis' order to scrap them, and reporting to Daniel on developments inside Graystone Industries (CAP: "End of Line," "Unvanquished"). 
Following Daniel's reinstatement as CEO, Xander becomes involved in the development of advertising for Grace software, using Daniel's image without prior permission. He later brings to Daniel's attention irregularities in U-87 production and shipping, eventually leading to the discovery of combat robots being diverted by the Ha'la'tha to new customers - the Soldiers of the One on Gemenon (CAP: "False Labor"). 
Xander is in the process of leading an investigation of and a response to an attack on Daniel and his wife in their home, when Director Gara Singh and Global Defense Department agents arrive to arrest the Graystones. Suspecting that Singh has created a pretense for secretly detaining or killing the Graystones, Xander produces a pistol and holds the GDD personnel at bay, giving Daniel, Amanda, and their bodyguard Sean a chance to escape (CAP: "Apotheosis").

DDG-62

The DDG-62 is a model of sublight engine, outdated by the time of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. The engines are apparently meant for small, one-man craft, and provide ample acceleration that seems to match that of a Viper Mark II.
During the construction of the Blackbird, a prototype craft devised by Galen Tyrol and constructed by crew of , Colonel Saul Tigh offers Tyrol a pair of these engines that are taking up space in the Baah Pakal cargo hold .
The engines were designed by aeronautical engineer Peter Laird, who says that they were mostly phased out of use 10 years ago .

* DDG-62 is also the real-word designation of the US Navy Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Fitzgerald. DDG is the Navy hull classification for a guided missile destroyer.

DRADIS console

The DRADIS console is centrally located in CIC, above the Command and Control station where Galactica's commander, William Adama, stands while on station.
The DRADIS console descends from a cylinder during combat operations like a periscope on a submarine. Despite its name, the DRADIS console allows officers to monitor not only DRADIS contacts, but other navigational and tactical information on the battlestar as well.
A Cylon transponder is placed on the base of the console in an attempt by a Cylon agent to track Galactica in the latter events of the genocidal attack on the Colonies . The transponder is removed and, with a second copy, later used in operations to infiltrate Cylon ships and occupied territories .
Like its counterpart technology, RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging), the name DRADIS is an acronym. It is never stated in the series what the letters stand for, although early manuscripts indicate it represents Direction, RAnge, DIStance.

D Squadron

D Squadron, also called the "Daggits," are a Viper strike team that attacks Cylon baseships and other military targets in order to distract the Cylons from detecting Viper traffic to and from Earth. D Squadron also participates in the Battle for the Agricultural Ships.
D Squadron, lead by Lieutenant Dante, consists of Viper pilots with a "devil-may-care" attitude. Colonel Boomer holds them in high regard, but an unidentified captain reports an issue with D Squadron's pilots removing limiters from the turbo chargers on their Viper craft .
== Battle Suits and Helmets ==
Members of D Squadron are identifiable by their dark bronze helmets, and often wear different styles of outer wear than the typical battle suit jacket, from a black leather-esque jacket to an armor breastplate. Their commander, Dante, wears an ascot in the style of the legendary Commander Cain.
