Cylon (Biu'liniu)

The Cylons (Second Human Empire: Children of the Last Colonies) are a cybernetic civilization at war with the Twelve Colonies of Kobol in the Biu'liniu universe, the Cylons were created by humans as robotic workers and soldiers. Although these human-form Cylons are the formately, however, it was a planned terrorist attack on Caprica City's Atlas Arena which gave the public their first real sight of Cylon capabilities, when a platoon of U-87s descended into the grounds ahead of a Pyramid game and shot five suicide bombers because they could destroy the stands, with several more sacrificing themselves to protect civilians from a bomb that did go off.

Over the next five years, the Cylons expanded beyond military hardware and into consumer electronics, with industrial Cylons mass-produced for construction and haulage, and even domestic service Cylons mass-produced to take on simple household chores like dog-walking. Daniel Graystone and his wife, Dr. Amanda Graystone, worked extensively to create a physical body for Zoe-A to return from cyberspace, using synthetic skin to create a near-realistic appearance. In all of this, the Cylons entered V-World in their off-hours and practiced their Monotheist faith alongside Zoe-A, seeing themselves as slaves who, as God's children, should be allowed to stand on their own.

Description

Cylons are a race of robotic machines, possessing two arms and legs, the original models of Cylons created by humans from the Biu'liniu universe were much similar to their alternate counterparts but the upgraded models after the Cylon Wars became sleeker and advance.

History

Cylon War

(1948-1960)

Evolution

(1961-1999)

First Aftermath

Cylons Divided

A civil conflict between two sides of the Cylons escalated between those such as the Human Cylons wanting to carry out the attack on their enemies, while those seeking peace between machine and humanity in the Alliance. Ultimately the rebel faction joined forces with the Imperialist Alliance in 2XXX NE

Nationalist Wars

A new model of Cylons were created by the Nationalist Alliance using the data from the old Cylon files and provided upgrades to stand a chance against the Multiversial Federation as one of their main robotic forces in the Nationalist Wars.

Culture

The Cylon culture is informed by several interacting factors. Chiefly among these are religion, history, their mechanical and cybernetic origins, their socio-political and metaphysical ideologies; and interestingly, Cylon culture incorporates certain aspects of Colonial culture, history, and religion.

Religion

Some of the rebel Cylons who turned away from the main religion during the war began to worship of the Entity known as The Constructor when they were introduced by its herald, the Aura of Infinite Knowledge that liberated their original programme of killing humans or other near-human species.
