A computron is a Colonial term for computer.

It is first used in Galactica 1980 with the introduction of the navigational computron, the navigational computer within a Viper (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).

The term is most often used in association with the wrist computron, a device worn on the wrist capable of translation and invisibility (Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I).
