Editing Farm

The '''Farms''' are a series of facilities on occupied [[The Twelve Colonies#Caprica|Caprica]] (and presumably the other [[Twelve Colonies|colonies]]) constructed by the Cylons in an effort to solve their difficulties with sexual reproduction. One such center, to which [[Kara Thrace]] and [[Sue-Shaun]] were taken after being wounded in an ambush ("[[The Farm]]") held hundreds of women hooked up to medical equipment, being used as living incubators. Starbuck was held separately and had a number of her eggs harvested by a Humano-Cylon who called himself [[Simon]].

In his [[Podcast]] for that episode, Ronald D. Moore suggests that "this farm that Kara is part of is one of many that are strewn all over Caprica and the other colonies, trying to conceive, trying to figure out ways that [the Cylons] can reproduce; and one would presume that they're using human women, and in others facilities they're using human men, and that a variety of ''in vitro'' programs are being tested..."

According to [[Sharon Valerii|Caprica-Boomer]], the Farms actually "haven't been very successful" and presumably they have never actually succeeded in their goal of producing Cylon/Human hybrids.  This is why the Cylon experiment was developed which manipulated Lt. [[Helo]] into falling in love with Caprica-Boomer.  The Cylons theorized that the Farms failed because a child must be conceived in love (keeping in mind that the Cylons believe that "God is love"), and as a result Caprica-Boomer had the first succesful hybrid pregnancy.

-{{callsign|Starbuck}} and [[Sue-Shaun]] are taken to a farm after being wounded in an ambush orchestrated by Caprica-Cavil {{TRS|The Farm|The Plan}}. Inside, the farm held hundreds of women hooked up to medical equipment, used as living incubators. Thrace is cared for separately under the guise of mending from her injuries and her case reviewed by a Four using his human name, Simon.
-According to [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Agathon ''neé'' Valerii]], the Farms haven't produced viable Human/Cylon hybrid offspring, ergo the experiment that manipulates [[Karl Agathon|Karl "Helo" Agathon]] into falling in love with Valerii.  Some Cylons theorize that the farms failed because a child must be conceived in love (in keeping with the Cylon belief that "God is love"), and as a result Caprica-Valerii carries the first and only successful hybrid pregnancy.
-After Thrace escapes the farm where she is held, [[Caprica Resistance]] leader [[Samuel Anders]] promises her that his band of fighters would attempt to destroy as many of the remaining farms as they could {{TRS|The Farm}} before they are rescued months later {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I}}.
-The farms are abandoned after the Cylons decide to leave the Colonies {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}. It remains unknown how the captured humans are dealt with as a result of this decision.
