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 retains possession of the Hub. 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. In the ensuing Battle of the Resurrection Hub, an uneasy alliance between Cylons and Colonials attacks the hub, with rebel humanoid Cylon pilots towing powered-down Colonial Vipers behind Heavy Raiders in order to conceal them. Once untethered, the Vipers attack the Hub's FTL drives, stranding it. As the rebel baseship and Heavy Raiders engage the two defending baseships, Karl Agathon and a Number Eight board the Hub to retrieve the unboxed D'Anna. Once their Raptor clears the Hub, the Vipers fire nuclear missiles, destroying the Hub and the nearby basestars (The Hub).

With its destruction, Cylon resurrection is now lost and all Cylons become mortal[1].


References[edit]

  1. It seems improbable that the Resurrection Hub can be replaced. In her conversations with the Fleet's leadership and the Quorum in "Guess What's Coming To Dinner?", Natalie implies that the Hub cannot be reconstructed. Furthermore, if the Hub were reproducible, there would be redundant Hubs elsewhere.
