'''''Daru Mozu''''', also known as '''''Refinery 322'''''<ref>[[:md:Image:Refinery 322.jpg|Nameplate on the ''Daru Mozu''&#39;s hull.]]</ref> is a [[tylium (RDM)|tylium]] [[refinery ship]] that part of the surviving [[The Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]], following the exodus of the Twelve Colonies. It was found by [[Laura Roslin]] aboard ''[[Colonial One]]'' shortly after the onset of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] at the hands of the Cylons. It assists in replenishing Roslin's fleet before being forced to make an FTL jump to [[Ragnar Anchorage]]. From there, it is guarded by the battlestar ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' as the fleet makes an escape towards the [[Prolmar Sector]] {{TRS|Miniseries}}.
'''''Daru Mozu''''', also known as '''Refinery 322'''<ref>[[:md:Image:Refinery 322.jpg|Nameplate on the ''Daru Mozu''&#39;s hull.]]</ref> and operating under Tauranian registry, is the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]'s [[tylium]] refinery ship. Refinery ships process raw minerals and metals gathered by a mining ship. Unlike a [[mining ship]], a refinery vessel has large processing and storage facilities, and can serve as a fueling vessel. In the storage compartments small excavators and chutes are used to move the raw, granular tylium to long conveyor belts on the lower decks. There manual labor is involved in refining it to a liquid fuel, but the exact further process is unknown.


The ship received Tylium mined by ''[[Monarch]]'' and ''[[Majahual]]'' following the successful capture of a Tylium asteroid from the Cylons. {{TRS|The Hand of God}}.
After the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] it is found by [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s recon Raptor and brought to Roslin's amassing civilian fleet ([[Miniseries]]).


Fleet ships were refueled by pulling along side, and connecting to the ship {{TRS|Home, Part I}}.
The ''Daru Mozu'' is used to process the immense reserves of tylium mined from an asteroid [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid|liberated]] from a [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] base ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).  


Around six months after the exodus, a member of [[Demand Peace]] blew a hole in the forward section of the ship, killing herself and several members of the crew. The damage was eventually repaired {{TRS|Epiphanies}}.  
Following President Roslin's imprisonment and Colonel Tigh's subsequent declaration of martial law, the crew refuses to continue refining tylium in protest ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).


{{clear}}
The ship is damaged in a collision with the ''[[Striker]]'' under the incompetent oversight of recently promoted Captain [[George Birch]], ''Galactica'''s [[CAG]] in [[Lee Adama]]'s absence ([[Home, Part I]]).
 
A suicide bomber who is part of a [[Demand Peace|peace movement]] within the Fleet damages the forward section of the ''Daru Mozu'', killing several of its crew ([[Epiphanies]]). It is also be among the ships taking part in the settlement of [[New Caprica]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]) and later escapes during the [[Battle of New Caprica]] ([[Exodus, Part II]]).
 
The ''Daru Mozu'' is the site of a short-lived, but large labor strike threatening to spill over to other vessels in the Fleet. The strike is later resolved when a union, originally based on [[New Caprica]], is reinstated to aid with worker needs ([[Dirty Hands]]).
 
The ship's unique radiation signature is being used by the Cylons to track the Fleet to the [[Ionian nebula]]. The signature is described as "a leak" and, after its discovery, used to lead the Cylons away from the rest of the Fleet ([[Crossroads, Part I]]).
 
It would later be present in the fleet during the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] next to ''Astral Queen'', the [[Space Park]] and a ship resembling ''[[Scylla]]''.


==Notes==
==Notes==
* In "[[Home, Part I]]" a refinery ship is referred to as "[[refueling tanker]]," but the configuration of the ship is identical to ''Daru Mozu'' and ''Hitei Kan''.
* The ''Daru Mozu'' isn't identified by name until "[[Epiphanies]]" and earlier episodes just call it "refinery ship", but dialogue - especially from the episode "[[Dirty Hands]]" - continually refers to it in the singular. Combined with visual evidence, this indicates that the same ship is meant.
* According to a deleted scene from"[[Epiphanies]]," four members of the crew were killed by the female suicide bomber.
* In "[[Home, Part I]]" the ship is referred to as "[[refueling tanker]]", but the configuration of the ship is identical to ''Daru Mozu''.
* In "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]," the ship is noted on the [[:Image:Tally chalkboard.jpg|master tally board]] on ''Galactica'', but absent from the [[:Image:Colonial One voting tracker.jpg|whiteboard voting tracker]] on ''Colonial One''.
* In "[[Dirty Hands]]" and "[[A Disquiet Follows My Soul]]", the [[Hitei Kan|''Hitei Kan'']] was noted as the only refinery ship in the Fleet following events on [[New Caprica]] in "[[Exodus, Part II]]". As the ''Daru Mozu'' (and at least two additional sister ships of the same design) were still part of the fleet post-[[Second Exodus]], and seen intact in "[[Hero]]" and "[[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]", it is speculated by some fans that its Tylium refinery facilities were destroyed, dismantled or lost.<ref>The episode "[[Dirty Hands]]" strongly implies that the ''Hitei Kan'' is the only existing refinery ship and thus ''Daru Mozu'' has either been destroyed or abandoned. At least one refinery ship was present on the surface of New Caprica [http://www.frak-that.com/304/images/304_cap151.jpg], suggesting the Colonials used the ship for materials, or the Cylons sabotaged the Colonial's Tylium supply as part of their occupation. However, this remains pure speculation. ''Daru Mozu'', never the less, remains part of the fleet, and can be seen with ''Hitei Kan'' [[:File:Rebel Baseship Jumps Away From Fleet.png|here]].</ref>
