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

The Ovions use Carillon's playground on the surface to attract their prey. The [[chancery]] is rigged to let the players always win, and there is [[grog]] and entertainment to keep the people occupied. Ovions occasionally prowl discreetly on the entertainment level, but generally remain out of sight. Individual humans are trapped selectively when they enter the elevator, and are taken into the hive-like structures underground instead of their desired destination. They are then placed into chambers which slowly transform them into food.

[[Cassiopeia]] is trapped in such a manner, until she is rescued by [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] and [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]]. They are presumably wiped out when Carillon is destroyed by the explosion of the tylium mines ([[Saga of a Star World]]).

== Notes ==
* Named characters include [[Lotay|Queen Lotay]] and [[Seetol]].
* [[MemoryAlpha:Ovion|Ovion]]s are also the name of a hexapodic race mentioned in ''[[MemoryAlpha:Star Trek: Voyager|Star Trek: Voyager]]''. Given the mention of hexapodicism, which the Ovions depicted in "[[Saga of a Star World]]" shared (having four arms and two legs), it is likely that this is ''Voyager'''s nod to ''[[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Battlestar Galactica]]''.
