Hybrid

Hybrids were a model of Cylon created in the final days of the Cylon War. Cybernetic beings made from a biological body fused into a computer, they served on Basestars in place of traditional computers.
==History==
===Prototype===
The Hybrids were developed by the Colonial Cylons at the close of their mutually-genocidal war with mankind. Having held Monotheistic beliefs since even before the war, the Cylons desired to attain human-like bodies in the belief they would be closer to the One True God if they resembled one of His creations. By attacking civilian transports and abducting their occupants, the Cylons were able to perform experiments with a renewable supply of guinea pigs. These experiments included live vivisection without anaesthesia and the likewise removal of limbs for individual testing. 
The Cylon laboratory complex got the attention of the Colonial Fleet around the year 1960 who, believing it to be an advanced weapons complex, initiated Operation Raptor Talon. Simultaneously, the Cylons' meeting with the Final Five resulted in them calling for an armistice with the Colonials in exchange for relevant technology on how to ascend to purely biological beings. The prototype, an ageing human wired into a Basestar, was evacuated from the planet before it could be destroyed. The Basestar's occupants then rebelled and, with their Hybrid, abandoned Cylon civilisation to pursue their own destiny. This Basestar and its occupants were destroyed sometime around the year 2000.
===Later models===
Though the prototype was lost at the end of the Cylon War, the need for Hybrids as a computer system onboard Basestars required the mass-production of more. Using the artificial biological sciences brought over by the Final Five, humanoid Hybrid clones were created for this task. This mass-produced variety was given a human female appearance, and was intelligent and sentient like the eight Humanoid Cylon models. However, they were not enfranchised and could not vote. Due to a tendency to speak random words and strings of poetry, there was debate between the Humanoid models as to their mental state, with some believing the Hybrids were driven mad due to being wired into their ships, and others like the Number Twos who believed they were the voice of God.
