A hybrid was the genetically manipulated product of alien and human DNA as part of The Project run by the Syndicate. The ultimate goal of the Syndicate was world domination through the use of alien technology obtained by a sinister alliance. However, the Syndicate was also working on a method of either resisting the alien colonization or destroying them. The hybridization project was intended to produce beings that would be immune to the aliens' weaponry and infamous black oil. Alien DNA necessary for the Project was obtained from an alien fetus exchanged by the aliens for loved ones of the Syndicate members at El Rico Air Force Base in 1973. (TXF: "One Son")

Work on the hybrid project began as early as the end of World War II. Operation Paper Clip pardoned numerous Nazi scientists who were then brought to the United States to continue their studies in secret. ("Paper Clip"). Likewise, Japanese scientists were brought to do the same and were able to continue the experiments performed by Unit 731 ("Nisei").

Emily Sim was a failed attempt at creating a hybrid using DNA from Dana Scully. Emily died as a result of the alien DNA taking over her body. ("Christmas Carol", "Emily")

In 1999, it was learned that Cassandra Spender was the first hybrid to be created successfully after numerous abductions and experiments. She was allowed to live after an attack by the faceless aliens on a Syndicate train car where experiments were performed on her. Her survival threatened the survival of the Project in that she could reveal its existence to the world and to the colonists. Once the aliens knew of a way to create hybrids as a slave race, the colonization of Earth would begin without the Syndicate having an effective vaccine against the black oil. Nevertheless, Spender was presented to the aliens at El Rico Air Force Base. However, instead of colonists, the faceless aliens appeared. Spender, and the entire gathering of high-ranking Syndicate members, were all killed.

The Project was seemingly derailed and the quest to create an alien/human hybrid abandoned. The resistance against alien colonization would continue in the future, however, in the form of genetically-engineered supersoldiers.
