[[Image:CTR.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Cylon Tylium Refinery]] The '''[[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] Refinery''' is a base located on an asteroid rich in [[tylium]] ore, whose main purpose was to mine and refine tylium for the Cylons. The base was located at a considerable distance from the presumed location of the [[Cylon homeworld]]. It is unknown whether the base was established out of necessity, or merely to eliminate possible resources for any escaping [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Colonials]]. The base is discovered by lieutenants [[Sharon Valerii|Valerii]] and [[Crashdown]], while doing reconnaissance to find any tylium deposits for the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Despite being extremely well guarded, the [[You Can't Go Home Again|fuel shortages in the Fleet]] leave the Colonials no option but to destroy the Cylon base. Using recon photographs, Doctor [[Gaius Baltar]] identifies devices on the base's surface that will destroy the base while leaving the tylium undamaged. [[Image:Cylonminegoboom_110_1080i.jpg|thumb|left|Destruction of the base]] The [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid|base is attacked in an elaborate plan]] by several [[Viper Mark II|Viper]] squadrons, but the base's anti-aircraft defenses allow it to remain undamaged. Captain [[Lee Adama|Apollo]] takes on an alternate path to enter from under the base. With a clean shot to the location pointed out by Baltar, Apollo succeeds in destroying the refinery ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).
