The Cylon models in Ronald D. Moore’s remake of the sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica are a perfect replication of human beings. Originally depicted as mechanical devices created to serve man, Moore’s Battlestar Galactica reimagined the android race at war with humanity as humanoid Cylons. This powered the storyline with exciting and realistic moral arcs that pit man against a brood of intelligent machines indistinguishable from humans. There are 13 models of the man-like technology determined to wipe out humanity, but Number Seven known as Daniel is no longer in existence.
The remaining 12 Cylon models of Battlestar Galactica are categorized into two groups known as the “Significant Seven” and the “Final Five”. The Final Five are different in nature compared to the Significant Seven which were patterned based on behaviors peculiar to humans. While only one version of each of the Five can be active at a time, there are many copies of the Significant Seven and each model have a particular human name alongside its number identity, except for model Six. The Final Five only have names as they were originally born on Earth, and their identities remained unknown after the exposure of the Significant Sevens.
