{{TOS twelve colonies series}}

The inhabitants of the [[the Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Twelve Colonies]] know of many different kinds of non-human life throughout the known universe.

While a majority of life encountered in the galaxy is oddly human -- descendants from either the Colonies themselves, or the fabled [[Thirteenth Tribe (TOS)|Thirteenth Tribe]] -- some life forms are not themselves human, though are humanoid.<ref>Like most science fiction shows of the era including ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' and ''[[w:Space: 1999|Space: 1999]], it was economically difficult to create truly alien creatures for a weekly television series that did not revolve around a stunt man in a rubber suit.</ref>

== Beings of Light ==

{{mainarticle|Beings of Light}}

Referred to by [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] as the "guardians of the universe", the Beings of Light do not interfere with the others outside of their plane of existence ([[War of the Gods, Part II]]), with one notable exception pertaining to the planet [[Terra]] ([[Experiment in Terra]]).

It is known that Count [[Iblis]] is one of their number and, although appears human ([[War of the Gods, Part I]]), is revealed to be a non-human creature in appearance when shot by Lieutenant [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] ([[War of the Gods, Part II]])

[[Image:Boray.jpg|thumb|A Boray.]]

[[Borays]] are pig-like humanoids native to [[Sectar]]. Initially, the humans who lived on the planet lived in fear of the Borays, for the Borays would raid the town of [[Serenity]] of supplies and even women. This changed after [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] gave the Borays' chief, [[Nogow]], the role of Serenity's [[constable]] ([[The Magnificent Warriors]]).

== Cylons ==

{{mainarticle|Cylons (TOS)}}

The Cylons began as reptilian creatures. Upon discovering humans, they created robots making use of the humanoid form a thousand yahren prior to the [[Battle of Cimtar|fall of the Colonies]]. Ever since, the Cylons have waged war on life in the galaxy that would threaten the Cylon Empire, the Colonials included.

== Hasari ==

{{mainarticle|Hasari}}

The Hasari are a nation of people to whom the Colonies provided aid when they were besieged by the [[Cylon Empire]]. Their aid to the plighted Hasaris leads to the [[Thousand-Yahren War]] with the Cylons, which ultimately leads to the destruction of the Colonies ([[Saga of a Star World]]).

== Ovions ==

{{mainarticle|Ovions}}

[[Image:Ovion musician.jpg|thumb|An Ovion musician with a harp.]]

'''Ovions''' are insectoid creatures that manage a mysterious [[Chancery|gambler's paradise]] on the planet [[Carillon]]. They are one of the members of the [[The Alliance|Cylon Alliance]]. Their extensive [[tylium]] mines are an extremely valuable asset ([[Saga of a Star World]]).

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Unidentified aliens ==

There are various unidentified aliens on [[Carillon]], all of them bi-pedaled humanoids ([[Saga of a Star World]]).

In addition, both [[Chameleon]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] mention a "three-handed" dealer on [[Pineas]] ([[The Man with Nine Lives]]).
