| Additional Information | |||
The Cylon Resurrection Hub is a space-borne facility which coordinates the resurrection process among all of the Cylon resurrection ships and downloading facilities, with what appears to be an indefinite operational range between itself and the rest of the Cylon fleet. As the control center of all resurrections, it is vital to 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 D'Anna Biers, 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 Demetrius returns 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 D'Anna. 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 attack the Hub's FTL drives which are disabled by two missiles fired by Lieutenant Pike from a Raptor, 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 be constructed, although it is not known if this is possible.[1]
