The Cylons: Humanity’s Greatest Threat

After launching a devastating attack on the Twelve Colonies, they engage in a high-stakes war with the survivors, who flee aboard the Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons’ pursuit of the human race and their own mysterious agenda make them one of the most intriguing villains in sci-fi history.

Their origins, their motivations, and the way they infiltrate human society create layers of tension and paranoia throughout the series. As the humans fight for survival, they must also confront the evolving nature of the Cylons, some of whom are capable of complex emotions and decisions.
