Additional Information

The Hitei Kan is a tylium refinery ship in the Fleet.

The vessel 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 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). During the Battle of the Ionian Nebula, the Hitei Kan can be seen next to the Astral Queen, the Zephyr and a ship resembling the Scylla (He That Believeth In Me).

During the FTL upgrades with Cylon technology. the crew of the Hitei Kan mutinied, killing one Cylon and two Marines, causing Galactica to scramble the mardet alert team.

Communications office Louis Hoshi tapped into wireless communications between the refinery ship and Tom Zarek aboard Colonial One, linking Zarek to the takeover. After Zarek is arrested, Admiral Adama succeeds in getting the coordinates of the missing ship and to dispatch more Raptors to return it to the Fleet (A Disquiet Follows My Soul)

Notes

• The Hitei Kan is not identified by name in "Dirty Hands", but only referred to as "refinery ship". However, Chief Tyrol names the ship in a deleted scene. Moreover, it is identified in the episode's script.
• The ship is almost identical to the Daru Mozu except that the bridge of the Hitei Kan has a neck sticking out from the main hull with wing-like structures going from side to side. What appears to be the bridge that is almost identical to the one on the Daru Mozu, which has just the bridge-like structure extending from the main hull.
• 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.
• In "A Disquiet Follows My Soul" as the ship jumps away from the Fleet, Saul Tigh laments of the ship's disappearance "With all of our tylium with it." Unless this is a continuity error, this may suggest that Hitei Kan is the only tylium ship left within the Fleet, and that the Daru Mozu was either abandoned or destroyed, perhaps in the Battle of New Caprica.
