The Cylon '''Central Resurrection Hub''' is a unique space-borne facility which coordinates the [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection process]] among all of the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] [[Resurrection Ship|resurrection ships]] and downloading facilities, with what appears to be an indefinite operational range between itself and the other ships of the fleet. With the Cylons having become a purly spacefaring race, abandoning the 12 Colonies and their homeworld, the Hub is the new core of their nation and irreplaceable. As a safeguard, the Hub periodically jumps to new locations and relays its position to the Cylon baseship [[Hybrid]]s once completed. The Resurrection Hub is also where [[Boxing|boxed]] Cylon consciousnesses are stored.

A [[Raptor]] soon discovers that the Hub has disappeared from its last known location. Another Raptor from the missing rebel basestar jumps in, severely damaged and containing a dead pilot. Using the jump coordinates recovered from that Raptor, a force recon encounters battle wreckage with Colonial Vipers among debris which is believed to include the Resurrection Hub. Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] believes the rebel baseship is also destroyed, but Admiral Adama is convinced that it survives, and he stays behind in a sole Raptor to wait for the baseship'a return while the fleet jumps away ([[Sine Qua Non]]).
The Hybrid follows the Hub, jumping ever closer to it, and eventually catches up. The shaky alliance between Cylons and Colonials is forced to quickly implement a plan. The rebels' [[Heavy Raider]]s tow the Colonial Viper into battle, in order to stay undetected. Untethered, they manage to disable the Hub's FTL drives, thus stranding it. As the rebel baseship fights off the two defending baseships, Karl Agathon and a Number Eight board the Hub to get to the unboxed Three. Afterwards the Vipers fire nuclear missiles, destroying the Resurrection Hub and at least one of the two nearby basestars ([[The Hub]]).


Several days earlier the renegade baseship found the target, its Hybrid jumping reflexivly to it, and the Resurrection Hub is eventually destroyed along with its baseship escorts in a massive battle. The Galactica Vipers, pulled secretly into battle by the rebels' Heavy Raiders, manage to shoot out the Hub's FTL drives, stranding it. As the rebel baseship fights off the two guardian baseships, Karl Agathon and a Number Eight board the Hub to get to the unboxed Three. Afterwards the Vipers fire nuclear missiles, destroying the Central Resurrection Hub and at least one of the two nearby basestars ([[The Hub]]).
With its destruction, Cylon resurrection is now lost and the humanoid Cylons are mortal, until the time a new Hub may constructed, although it is not known if this is possible.
 
With its destruction Cylon resurrection is now lost forever, until such time as a new Hub can be built if at all possible, or a possible return to the alleged Cylon homeworld where surviving resurrection infrastructure might still exist.

The Cylon Resurrection Hub is a space-borne facility which coordinates the resurrection process among all of the Cylon Resurrection Ship and downloading facilities, with what appears to be an indefinite operational range between itself and the other ships of the fleet. Since it the only vessel of its kind, it is vital for the function of Cylon society. As a safeguard, the Hub periodically jumps to new locations and relays its position to the baseships' Hybrids once completed. The Resurrection Hub is also where boxed Cylon consciousnesses are stored.

At the start of the Cylon Civil War, Natalie plans to unbox Number Three, in the hopes of learning the identities of the Final Five (The Ties That Bind). However, the Cavil faction gains the upper hand in the conflict and claims the Hub first. When the Demetrius to the human fleet with the renegade basestar, Natalie offers Admiral Adama and President Roslin the chance to destroy the Hub in return for their help unboxing Three. Before the plan is carried out, however, Natalie is shot by Sharon Agathon and the basestar jumps away when Roslin, determined to get some answers about her visions, has the Hybrid reconnected (Guess What's Coming To Dinner).

The Hybrid follows the Hub, jumping ever closer to it, and eventually catches up. The shaky alliance between Cylons and Colonials is forced to quickly implement a plan. The rebels' Heavy Raiders tow the Colonial Viper into battle, in order to stay undetected. Untethered, they manage to disable the Hub's FTL drives, thus stranding it. As the rebel baseship fights off the two defending baseships, Karl Agathon and a Number Eight board the Hub to get to the unboxed Three. Afterwards the Vipers fire nuclear missiles, destroying the Resurrection Hub and at least one of the two nearby basestars (The Hub).

With its destruction, Cylon resurrection is now lost and the humanoid Cylons are mortal, until the time a new Hub may constructed, although it is not known if this is possible.
