So they headed for the Colonies to tell the humans to treat their creations well and keep them close. These Final Five surviving humanoid Cylons realized that the humans of the Twelve Colonies would continue to create artificial life.

They survived by re-inventing a technology from Kobol called 'organic memory transfer.' This technology 'resurrects' a Cylon upon their body's destruction by saving their consciousness and then 'downloading' it into an identical clone body. After a nuclear conflagration that did indeed destroy the planet's population, the only survivors were the five researchers. The messengers appeared to five humanoid Cylon researchers and warned them of the impending destruction of their planet's population. Some of these messengers came to view the Cylon Entity as a 'God.' However it did not like to be called by that title. A benevolent being, this virtual Cylon Entity created other virtual beings to serve as its messengers. Because this entity existed on another plane, it had a non-linear perception of our space-time continuum, allowing it to see future events. During this war, a unique type of Cylon that had progressed to the point where it was able to exist as virtual 'software' on a higher plane of existence observed the conflict. On this Earth, a race of biologically-reproductive organic humanoid Cylons became the dominant species and they enslaved mechanical Cylons.Įventually, history repeated itself and the mechanical Cylons rose up and waged war against the organic cybernetic life forms that were their masters. Simultaneously the Cylons colonized a planet they named 'Earth' (the first planet to bear that name). Using a space-folding drive that enables space ships to make instantaneous 'jumps' across vast distances in space, the humans went on to colonize twelve separate worlds in a single star system, becoming the ' Twelve Colonies of Kobol'. At some point, they rose up and waged war against their masters.Įventually, the war so devastated Kobol that both humans and Cylons fled the planet. Known as 'Cylons', these artificial life forms served as a slave caste. They even created artificial life forms such as sentient machines. automobiles, television, advanced medicine, etc.).

Eventually the people of Kobol developed a civilization with all the amenities of an advanced society (e.g. The humans of Kobol achieved dominion of their world long before the humans of our Earth even developed language. Their DNA was even compatible.they were actually human - the result of an astonishing parallel evolution of human beings on both Kobol and Earth. These mammalian bipeds were indistinguishable from the humans of Earth right down to the cellular level. Tens of thousands of light-years from our Earth, a race of sentient mammalian bipeds became the dominant life form on an Earth-like planet named Kobol.
