For years , we ’ve beenhearingabout Ron Moore ’s “ Cylon Bible , ” which tells all the enigma of Battlestar Galactica ’s artificial antagonists . Now at last , a Modern video let in several precious page . Possible raider .
It see as though the primary document is called “ Life On A Baseship , ” and it was indite before time of year three , and before the show had decided on the identities of the Final Five .
Here ’s what I could decrypt :
life-time on the Cylon Baseship :
Key to understanding how life works aboard the Cylon baseship is recognize and read the tensions within the communal nature of Cylon life-time . The Cylons , as unreal beings , have made many of their evolutionary choices , including the method and recitation of their interactivity . drive by their burgeoning feeling in a divine being , they have constructed for themselves a method of fundamental interaction that is root in the human manikin , yet makes allowance for the unique abilities of the machine . This compounding of a biologically based pattern of behavior only partially ameliorate upon by mechanistic technical advance had led , in some representative , to what seem like contradictions in their modes of living and behaviour .
The communal nature of Cylon bon ton is rout in the fact that these are , essentially , machine , capable of extremely advanced exchanges of data point . There is no technical reason why any given Cylon should not be straightaway and ceaselessly tie in to every other Cylon aboard a baseship , as well as to the database of the ship itself . However , the Cylons have chosen , as a society , to relinquish this power in favour of more closely emulating the human mannikin , presumably as a verbatim result of their homegrown theological belief that mankind was God ’s take form , based on His original image . Human failures to carry out the Almighty ’s wishes and plan notwithstanding , it is a dogma of Cylon belief that the human frame comes right away from Him , as did the initial human impulse to design the first generation of Cylons as bipedal beings , which closely come after the human design . Therefore , the Cylons believe in maintaining and cultivating many view of the human form , including their modes of communicating . Cylons verbally talk to one another as match to transmit files or data communicating , because that ’s the way God mean for His creations to interact with one another .
Aboard the Baseship , this creates a motive for design systems that permit instant access to the lively data , while at the same time respecting the fact that Cylons are something more than only ( ( illegible ) ) access a data stream …
…
There is no formalised hierarchy among the Cylons , either aboard the Baseship or in the Cylon land at bombastic . Decisions are made conjointly , through the will of the …
The Control Center : The functional equivalent of Galactica ’s CIC , this is where tactical decision are made aboard the Baseship . There is no assigned “ crew ” here , any visit to the Control Center will see a different bent of Cylons coming and go , and interact with one another . Again , determination are made collectively , with individual example speaking with one voice and no action taken until majority consensus has been progress to . The holographic projection above the consoles change chop-chop , seldom showing the same image for any dandy distance of time . The icon expose are also just …
[ life areas are ] assign to individual Cylons , and are treat … in terms of set , the Living Areas are redresses of the control center . They loosely consist of of a reclining chair … [ Cylons ] sometimes take nourishment forthwith from the [ ship ] … The LIving Areas are customise by the [ single Cylons ] .
Clothing being a purely aesthetic choice , there are times when we may wish well to embark a way where total or partial nakedness is on display , without it being observe on by any of the Cylons .
The private model :
VI — are powerful , driven being , invariably looking for way to influence or undermine events . They love human sensualism in all its forms , and see their bodies as the best synagogue in praise of God that has yet been make . They are also deep impulsive and have a disposition towards physical and emotional harshness … endeavour to bring themselves nigher to Him .
Leobens — see life outside the box of the corporeal world . They have find way of calcluating variable and data outside the [ normal creation , and this allows them ] and other Cylons to see beyond the here and now .
Sharons are uncertain of themselves and their place in the creation .
The Final Five
These are the Cylons which are not present on the Baseship , and indeed have not even been glimpsed or refer to in the series so far . They are mysterious beings even to the Significant Seven , all of whom know there are five humanoid Cylons who choose not associate with the others , and who rarely communicate straight with them .
For some reason , the video is down as an embed , but here it is . Non - U.S. mass , you ’re SOL . Sorry :
