Description

The Cylons, having wandered across the universe for more than 150,000 years after the fall of the Twelve Colonies of Man, seemed to have finally found destiny. However, destiny means something else. Standing in front of them is an alien race that destroyed countless civilisations, and the Cylons found themselves in a conflict that, for the first time since two wars that they have previously fought against their masters, they are losing ground.

Children of Mankind Mods

Ship Name	Ship Image	Tech Description
Raider		To be filled in later.
Advanced Raider		To be filled in later.
Heavy Raider		To be filled in later.
Basestar		To be filled in later.
SF Gorgon		The Gorgon appears to be one of the first Shivan fighters encountered at the Arawn system, along with the Incubus and Mantis. A formidable design in terms of firepower, agility and durability compared to our Raiders, the Gorgon is also considered as the fastest fighter class in the Shivan armada. It does possess an extremely thick and powerful shielding and armour, however, thus making it a truly nightmarish opponent. Cylons should be aware of the Gorgon when fighting wings of Gorgons in future battles.
SF Incubus		To be filled in later.
SF Mantis		To be filled in later.
SB Ojas		To be filled in later.
SB Yali		The SB Yali class of Shivan bombers were first encountered while on the way to the original homeworld of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. All other information concerning the Yali is classified level Psi.
SDr Imp		First encountered on the way to the original homeworld of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, the Imp is a small, fast and maneuverable unmanned Shivan drone that is too difficult to hit. However, a single fighter should take down the Imp easily, unfortunately though, these drones are being deployed in exceptionally large numbers, often outnumbering their enemies 6 to 1, much like the Cylon raiders did some 150,000 years ago.
SC Asura		To be filled in later.
SC Raguel		Recently encountered at Arawn, the Raguel is extremely well-armed and heavy armoured for a Shivan cruiser. With several medium, small and AAA armanents, it easily wipes out our Raiders, so it is preferred that a baseship destroy this heavy vessel from as great a distance as possible.
SC Rictus		Being a Shivan design encountered for the first time only a short while back, we do not have much data on this cruiser yet. However, it would appear the Rictus's main purpose is attacking capital ships directly, mostly via its front beam cannon. The craft has extensive armour plating and shielding. Cylons should be aware of its anti-fighter weaponry of the Rictus when fighting with one of these.
SFg Beelzeboul		More than once has the leering grin of the Beelzeboul-class Shivan frigate been a Cylon's last sight before getting shot down. A wide array of anti-fighter weaponry, with a reactor core protected by a powerful local shielding system, plows through wings of Raiders with near impunity. It is also capable of carrying and launching Imp drones. Pilots are advised to let baseships engage this warship from a safe distance. Despite this, Cylons should avoid the area below the vessel's four arms and concentrate the attack on the dorsal sides from a safe distance.
SD Vassago		The Vassago is a Shivan destroyer class the Cylons have only recently encountered. It appears to be tasked with clearing out smaller foes, a mission for which it is well suited. It eagerly wipes out wings of Raiders and also overwhelms our baseships.
SJ Amritaya		We do not have much data on the Amritaya class. Its offensive capability exceeds that of our baseships.
