Excerpt: Cylons-from Cybernetic Lifeform Node-are a race of sentient machines created by humans, which appear in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series and its prequel Caprica. They have several forms, some of which resemble and even mimic the behavior of humans, while others are mechanical in appearance and function. In the first DVD, one of the show's creators said that they discussed with Sci-Fi about drawing parallels between the Cylons and Al Qaeda, as a group who wishes to destroy an enemy that they also want to emulate.

(The humanoid Cylons kept simpler, biomechanical Cylons as soldiers and servants, much as humans themselves once had.) At the end of this period, the Cylons returned and destroyed the 12 colonies in a surprise attack, and pursued the survivors through space.

This knowledge was lost after the exodus of the tribes from Kobol; the people of the colonies believed the mythical thirteenth tribe to have been humans like them. Cylons acknowledge themselves as "humanity's children" but believe their parents are deeply flawed. There are reli
