'''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.

Refinery ships are vessels used for refining [[tylium (RDM)|tylium]] that have been used in the colonies since at least as far back as the [[First Cylon War]]. During the war, they presumably had the role of replenishing the fuel reserves of [[Colonial Fleet]] ships {{TRS|Blood and Chrome}}.
The [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] possesses two such ships, the ''[[Daru Mozu]]'' ([[Epiphanies]]) and the ''[[Hitei Kan]]'' ([[Dirty Hands]]). However, the episode "Dirty Hands" implies that the former was destroyed.


Over forty years later the class is used for civilian purposes. At least two of these ships, ''[[Daru Mozu]]'' and ''[[Hitei Kan]]'', are able to escape with ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' following the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] {{TRS|Miniseries}}. During the [[The Fleet (TRS)|refugee fleet's]] ongoing escape from [[Cylon (TRS)|Cylon]] forces, these ships refine tylium mined by the vessels ''[[Monarch]]'' and ''[[Majahual]]''.
== Appearances ==


After the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], a refinery ship is found by [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s recon Raptor and brought to Roslin's amassing civilian fleet ([[Miniseries]]).


{{Ships}}
The vessels are used to process the immense reserves of tylium mined from an asteroid [[Battle for the Tylium Asteroid|liberated]] from a [[Cylon Refinery|Cylon base]] ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).
 
Following President Roslin's imprisonment and Colonel Tigh's subsequent declaration of martial law, the crew of one refinery ship refuses to continue refining tylium in protest ([[Resistance (episode)|Resistance]]).
 
One of the refinery ships 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 refinery ship is 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]]) <ref>Given that "[[Dirty Hands]]" only mentions one refinery ship and that the strike on it leads to Fleet-wide crisis, this is likely the ''[[Hitei Kan]]''. This also implies that the ''[[Daru Mozu]]'' was lost.</ref>
