The Cybrid were a race of networked artificial intelligences that were developed by Cylon Cybernetics during the Shadow War. They were created to serve as laborers and tools of war for the Crimson Empire. Originally coined name of the new line of droids that Cylon Cybernetics was developing, the first of these projects was the prototype design for what would become the feared Cybrid Armature. However, this design was never classified as a part of this project, considering its vast distinctions from the end result of the program.
