'''Maya''' is a civilian within the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] entrusted by President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]] to adopt and raise [[Hera Agathon|Hera]], the Human/Cylon hybrid child of [[Karl Agathon|Karl]] and [[Sharon Agathon]]. After deciding that the child cannot be raised by her birth parents, Roslin summarily orders ''[[Galactica]]'s'' Chief Medical Officer ([[CMO]]) Dr. [[Cottle]] to stage Hera's death as a means to hide her from both human and Cylon knowledge.

Selected from a list created for Roslin by [[Tory Foster]], Maya is told that the baby was given up by an officer on ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' due to political and religious reasons ([[Downloaded]]). Maya names the child, Isis, unaware of her true origins ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

Maya becomes a teacher and aide to Roslin upon colonization of [[New Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).

Maya is killed during the [[Battle of New Caprica]] while attempting to escape the Cylon-occupied planet with her adopted daughter. [[Gaius Baltar]] and [[Caprica Six]] find the child unharmed under the body of her mother. [[D'Anna Biers]] takes possession of the child prior to the Cylon abandonment of the planet ([[Exodus, Part II]]).

==Backdoors==

Unbeknownst to Dr. Baltar, his lover and co-writer of the CNP turns out to be a version of the [[humanoid Cylon]] known as [[Caprica Six|Number Six]].

The Cylon infiltrator programmed backdoors into the CNP so that the Cylon attack forces could render any ships that use the operating system to shut itself down by a remote command.

<br clear="all">

==Usage of the CNP on ''Galactica''==
The CNP was previously received by ''[[Galactica]]'', but the program was never loaded into the primary memory of the ship's navigation computer.

''Galactica'' herself is spared from Cylon computer attacks as the CNP is not loaded on any of her computers, nor were her computer systems networked, sparing the ship from any backdoor or cracking attempts.

Unfortunately, ''Galactica'' does support a modern squadron of [[Viper Mark VII]] fighters, which received the upgrade. As a result, the squadron is massacred by two [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] on their way back to [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]].

Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta]] has the CNP source code purged from the [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Mainframe Computer|mainframe]] on Baltar's instruction. The program is also retrograded on the [[Computers#Avionics|flight systems]] of surviving Mark VII Vipers, Raptors, and civilian ships ([[Miniseries]]).

== Notes ==

*The CNP is not a [[Cylon computer virus|virus]], nor is it a [[w:Computer worm|worm]] or Trojan Horse, but an example of [[w:backdoor|backdoor exploitation]] of a secured computer system through a secreted password or other hidden access in order to gain command privileges.
*The backdoor tactic differs from the [[Cylon computer virus#Cylon War|Cylons' older infiltration tactics]] used in the first [[Cylon War]] of using their computers to seek exploits within and forcibly enter ("crack") a Colonial computer, whereby the attacked computer is infected with a virus that causes havoc on the Colonial computer.
