MODEL 0005 CYLON

MODEL 0005 - COMMAND CENTURION


Higher ranking Centurions of the MODEL 0005 Type, COMMAND MODELS or COMMANDERS, are usually found in key positions on a Warship, such as the Commanding Officer or leading the ships Airwing as the Strike Commander. The can also be found amongst ground forces as being in command of Military Instillations or leading large forces in combat.

This version of the MODEL 0005 is easily recognized by their gold colored armor plating. (*Though not proven - it is hinted at by current intelligence that there are sub-catagories of the Command Centurion rank denoted by Copper, Bronze & Brass colored armor). As well as being programed with a higher intelect and reasoning speed, the Commander Model also has a greatly enhanced leadership ability, additional tactical algorithms and autonomous command protocols that enables it to process complex situations and give orders to other Cylon models to deal with these situations.

Command Centurions have two brains, and thus they are very capable machines. They do not require any sort of supervision, and can make and act on decisions themselves. This second brain is filled with military information and knowledge and not a lot else, making them not too effective outside of this field. Command Centurions do not have much in the way of a personality, but unlike basic Centurions, they do have a simple name

Mechanically, though their outside armor plating maybe of a stronger type - they have the same basic design and drive systems as the standard Model 0005 Centurion.

Command Centurions take orders from the Praetorian & IL Series Cylons and up.

MODEL 0005 - CENTURION


The CENTURION MODEL 0005 preforms the roles of fighter pilots, crews of warships and staffing of military instilations of the Cylon Empire.

The Cylon War-era Centurions are bipedal androids useing artificial intelligence and were designed as sentient beings. Physically stronger than humans, the Centurions were designed with an average height of 6' 6" and composed of silver-chrome armored plating covering an internal skeleton and drive systems built with sufficient dexterity and capability of using a variety of weapons and tools. Centurions communicate at least partially vocally, but are also capable of receiving radio signals internally and interfacing directly with electonic equipment and controls.

Centurions have one brain with which to interprete orders, which gives them a very limited choice of actions, and thus they require supervision. They do not have much in the way of individualism. Silver Centurions do not have names or designations other than a simple computer recognition number. With the information network, it is always clear to whom a command is being directed to.

MODEL 0005 - SOLDIER


The Model 0005 - "Soldier" Cylon is a fully armored, metallic automaton that functions as the basic foot-soldier of the Cylon Empire. Soldiers serve a variety of functions within the Cylon hierarchy, acting as guards, attack troops, executioners and performing misc. jobs.
"Soldier" variants are distinguished by their more sturdy, compact build – more full-length helmet-like heads and ammunition clips around their waists. They are heavily armored, possessing flexible coverings over the torso, upper arms and upper thighs to cover potential weak spots.

As standard armament the Soldier Cylon carries a small caliber, rapid fire machine pistol. Ammunition for the machine pistol is carried in clips around the waist area. A folding sword is also built in to the armor on his forearm.
As an option to the machine pistol - a heavy squad automatic machine gun or light grenade launcher can be carried.

These Soldier versions were used in great numbers in attacks on Colonial Forces and to defend Cylon territory during the mid to final days of the First Cylon War.

MODEL 0005 - HEAVY WEAPONS SOLDIER


The HEAVY WEAPONS SOLDIER is a variant of the Standard Model 0005 Soldier. Outwardly they resemble the standard Soldier but internally they are mechanically and structurally reenforced to handle the weight and recoil from weapons larger than than the carry-type that are the usual armament of the Soldier.

These variants - besides the usual small machine pistol weapons (these are retained) - can be equipted with large caliber machine guns, mortars, flame throwers, unguided bombardment rocket packs, anti-armor or atmospheric anti-aircraft missile pods and the ammuniton cannisters for them.

MODEL 0005 - RECONNAISSANCE SOLDIER


The "Recon Soldier" is a special mission variant of the standard Model 0005 Soldier Cylon. The design can operate for long periods of time away from other Cylons on either short duration tactical missions close to the front or intelligence gathering missions deep behind enemy lines that can last quite some time.

The design is built with a composite non-metalic armor that both deflects and absorbs almost all kinds of Colonial audio, visual, thermal & dradis based scanner systems. This armor is distiguished from the standard Soldier Cylon armor (a bright polished silver color) by a dark, burnt Titanium/Black color that when it's on a mission automatically changes to blends in with almost any background.
Another easily identifiable feature of this variant is the lack of the Red "Cylon Eye" scanner. It is actually there as on the Model 0005 Soldier but is specially filtered to lower it's detectability factor.

The Recon Cylon also has had the standard "Soldier" type armor shape cut back to a bare minimum to both increase energy efficiency and reduce any noise from the armor. Special machinery also built into the design will dampen any sound or electronic emmissions coming from internal equipment or scans made by its own sensors.

Not taking into account the "Stealth" equipment and special programing to enable them to perform their non-standard missions - the Recon Cylon variant is very similar mechanically otherwise to the standard Model 0005 Soldier Cylon.

The Recon Cylon has been encountered many times by Colonial Forces during the latter part of the Cylon War but in comparison to the numbers of regular Soldier Cylons - it is pretty rare in numbers.
