"Nummer Sechs" ist eines der weiblichen humanoiden Zylonenmodelle. Mehrere Kopien davon spielen in der Serie eine Schlüsselrolle. Die meisten der bisher aufgetretenen Kopien legen die Vermutung nahe, dass das Modell den Grundcharakter eines Soldaten oder Kämpfers, als auch einer Verführerin hat. Es ist eine Blondine und der erste humanoide Zylon, der in der Serie eingeführt wird.

Kopie auf der Waffenstillsstation

Nummer Sechs auf der Waffenstillstandsstation (Miniserie).

Hier kündigt sich durch Nummer Sechs das nahende Unheil für die Zwölf Kolonien an. Sie erscheint kurz vor dem zylonischen Holocaust in der Waffenstillstandsstation mit einem langärmeligen, knielangen roten Kostüm. Sie ist der erste und letzte "Diplomat", den die Zylonen jemals seit der Inbetriebnahme der Station vor 40 Jahren geschickt haben. Sie eröffnet das "Gespräch" mit der Frage: "Sind Sie ein Menschenkind". Als der Waffenstillstandsoffizier mit "Ja" antwortet, zwingt sie Ihn mit den Worten "Beweisen Sie's" zu einem Zungenkuss. Als dieser in Panik bemerkt, dass die Station angegriffen wird, lächelt sie nur kalt und saugt sich mit roher Gewalt an ihm fest, während die Station zerstört wird.

Am Ende der Miniserie gehören drei weitere Kopien im gleichen Outfit zu der Zylonengruppe, die den von den mißtrauisch geworden Kolonisten auf Ragnar Anchorage ausgesetzten Aaron Doral rettet. Eine von ihnen beantwortet die Anordnung einer Nummer Acht mit "Wie Sie befehlen, Sir", dem kultigen Markenzeichen der Originalserie.

Caprica-Six

For more, see the article, "Caprica-Six."

The copy of Number Six that seduced Dr. Gaius Baltar into unwittingly betraying the Twelve Colonies by giving her access to the Colonial defense mainframe.

Baltar's Internal Six

For more, see the article "Cylon-Related Hallucinations".

Fleeing Caprica City and then the planet itself, Baltar is shocked to discover that the woman he had a relationship with on Caprica lives on - inside his head.

Caprican Troop Leaders

Number Six Troop Leader (33)

At least 3 additional variants of Six have been operational on Caprica, and appear to lead Cylon Centurion squads and have a subservient role to the "overseer" Six variants. This variant of Six is distinguished by the white raincoat it wears.

One of these variants distracted Helo, enabling him to be captured. In this, she shared the same seductive characteristic as shown by her "sisters" at Armistice station and with Baltar - her first act on "freeing" the captured Agathon is to ask "Are you alive?" and kiss him. (33) She was subsequently shot by Valerii.

The second acted as an observer to Helo's "escape", and this same variant may have been leading the Centurion troops into the Caprican farm Helo was hiding in (The Hand of God).

The third was present at Delphi, taking orders from an "overseer" Six (Colonial Day).

Caprican Overseer Copies

Number Six beating up Sharon Valerii on Caprica.

On Caprica, Six performs the role of a Cylon overseer, working with Aaron Doral to ensure their experiment involving the stranded Karl Agathon and Valerii either reaches its desired conclusion, or is suitably terminated (Bastille Day, Act of Contrition, Litmus, Flesh and Bone, Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down). These copies of Number Six wear a militaristic black outfit, with a black body-suit underneath suited to martial arts.

Following the destruction of a "troop leader" Six (shot by Valerii, in order to enable her to "rescue" Agathon), her "sister" on Caprica demonstrates a certain vindictiveness towards Valerii when giving her a beating that goes far beyond the needs of the experiment (Litmus), thus revealing she may well be experiencing resentment for being shot (remembering that experiences and knowledge are passed from body to body among the various types of Cylon agents), as well as jealousy at Valerii's chosen role in the proceedings.

A further "overseer" Six is present at the Cylon's established base at Delphi, and is briefly seen by Helo when he attempts to gain access to the base in order to steal a ship and get off the planet (Colonial Day).

Perhaps this same overseer-Six surprised Starbuck in the Delphi Museum when she returned to Caprica to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo. They engaged in an all-out brawl, and just as Six appeared to be winning Starbuck rushed her, knocking both of them off of a ledge. This Number Six fell underneath Starbuck, breaking Kara's fall, and was impaled on building debris, killing her (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II).

Another "overseer" Six was present at the "farm" where Starbuck was taken after she was incapacitated by the Cylons. While the Cylon doctor Simon operated on her, Six was there to relay orders and see that everything was proceeding smoothly. She was definitely the controlling figure of the operation. This copy was later bashed over the head with a fire extinguisher by Kara Thrace as she made her escape (The Farm).

Yet another overseer, or possibly one of the previously witnessed copies, viewed D'anna Biers' broadcast in a theatre on Cylon-occupied Caprica in the episode "Final Cut". She remarked that the resilience displayed by the Colonials was impressive, and seemed overjoyed that Sharon's hybrid baby survived.

Shelly Godfrey

A copy of Number Six that physically appears on board Galactica to try to discredit Baltar as a traitor, using evidence which was flawed, so that he ended up being more popular than before. For more, see the article, "Shelly Godfrey."

Gina

For more, see the article, "Gina."

A copy of Number Six captured aboard the battlestar Pegasus and repeatedly tortured and sexually abused by the crew, before escaping with Baltar's help.

"Downloaded"

In this episode, a Number Six in a gold tunic is one of four 'rebirth nurses' who greets the reincarnated Caprica-Six (this takes place shortly after the Cylon Attack has run its course), and it is likely this same group who nurse Boomer as she returns to life several months later. The Six in the group welcomes Boomer home and refers to her as "little sister".

Several other copies of Six were seen on Caprica in a variety of different outfits, which could indicate different functions or simply fashion choices.

Notes

• The name "Number Six" is, according to "Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion" (Titan Books, 2005), written by David Bassom, an indirect tribute to Patrick McGoohan's cult 1967 television series The Prisoner - a series that addressed topics such as personal freedom and identity, mind control, illusionary experiences and the infiltration of society's supposed guardians (secret agents) by a nefarious force (those behind The Village). Ron Moore himself later confirmed in his blog that the name is an homage to The Prisoner. Ironically, in 2006 the BBC announced that they are going to produce a remake (perhaps, "Re-imagination"?) of The Prisoner, starring former Doctor Who lead Christoper Eccleston as "Number Six".
• According to Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion, Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell were hand-picked for their roles, while the rest of the characters were cast by audition: among the actresses in the running for the role of "Number Six" was The O.C.'s Melinda Clarke, though the role ultimately went to Tricia Helfer.
