The Cylons
The "modern" Cylons are in fact
a race of genetically-enhanced, humanoid reptilian cyborgs. When
originally discovered by human space explorers from Parnassus, they were
found to be extremely warlike and not technologically advanced, and thus
the planet was declared off-limits.
Some time later, a human visitor
to their homeworld promised the native, warlike race the Universe.
In return, he would enhance their natural abilities, using his own DNA.
The Cylons agreed to this exchange. That visitor was Count Iblis.
It is believed that this event took place approximately one thousand yahrens
prior to the Holocaust... very near the outset of the war. Cylons
believed in maintaining the natural order of the universe and to them,
Humans upset that balance; this attitude was programmed into them via the
DNA infusion of the human visitor (Armageddon).
As a result, the females of the Cylon species died out because they were
no longer needed; some original quadruped Cylons still remain on their
homeworld...most likely s exhibits. Even so, a Cylon's expected life
span is about 200 yahrens.
One of the first races the
Cylons conquered was the Hasaris; when the Twelve Colonies heard about
it, they helped the Hasaris win back their nation and that provided the
direct spark to start the thousand-yahren war with the Cylons ("Saga
of a Star World").

themselves--just watch the series they are always lying to one-another.

Special Ability: Lie Detection
It seems that all Cylons have the ability to
determine whether a subject they are questioning is lying or not.
This is a natural ability and no roll is needed for this. This ability,
as far as I can tell, doesn't extend to the Cylons themselves--just watch
the series they are always lying to one-another.
Special Ability: Human Logic Function
The "Human Logic Function" is used to make it easier for the Dark Centurions
to predict what the humans would do in combat. Make a "Moderate:
Tactics roll" and if successful allow the Centurion one free round
to act before the player's initiate their own actions. Then resolve
normally.
Equipment:
Laser Rifle: (5D Damage)
Cylon Short Sword: (STR+2D Damage, Max

Cylon Body Armor: Chest, Arms and Head
- +2D to Physical Attacks, +2D to Energy Attacks
(*)Note: Some Centurions are designated to

I'm only guessing at these stats
for the Dark Centurion. The information I have on them is basic to
say the least. If anybody has a better idea, or has information from
the (Armageddon) book, let me
know and I'll make amendments.
