| | '''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 [[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 <ref>In "[[Dirty Hands]]" the refinery ship is continually referred to in the singular and the strike on it leads a Fleet-wide crisis. It is identified as the ''[[Hitei Kan]]'' in the a deleted scene and the script. This makes it unlikely that a second refinery ship exists.</ref>. | |||
== 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]]). | |||
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 a [[Tauron (RDM)|Tauranian]] 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]]). | |||
