This article discusses the living computer of a Re-imagined Series basestar. For information on the Cylon-human hybrid child, see Hera.

A Hybrid is the central computer inside a basestar (Torn).

The Hybrids resemble human beings inside an immersion tank similar to a Cylon rebirthing tank. However, they aren't Cylon agents, but another type of Cylon, similar to the autonomous biomechanical pilots within Raiders , specially constructed as living computers that manage the autonomic functions of the basestar, including navigation and FTL jumps, climate control, and the like. The Hybrids are so integrated into the basestar's functionality that they are, for all practical purposes, the basestar.

The Hybrids do not have a completely human body, but rather appear to be more like cyborgs, consisting of conduits and other connectors mated to, or in place of elements of their bodies.

It is unclear whether a Hybrid can take autonomous actions on its own, although they can articulate disagreement with orders. It appears that a unit of seven Cylon agents, located elsewhere in the basestar's command and control center, generate the collective command decisions that are accepted and executed by the Hybrids.

The Hybrids almost continually speak in phrases that makes little sense to the basestar's crew. The utterances appear to be a mixture of system status reports as well as observations of events in and around the basestar that may not be describable in words. The agents known to the Colonials as Leoben Conoy believe that the Hybrids can hear or understand the voice of God.

A Hybrid's connectivity to its basestar provides it with a remarkable awareness of the surrounding space. They appear to experience a form of ecstasy, perhaps at an orgasmic level, when accomplishing certain tasks such as jumping.
