Talk:Gemini/Archive 1

Tylium refinery?

Note to self - investigate whether this ship is actually identified as a tyllium refinery. --April Arcus 16:17, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

Note to April: The miniseries dialog infers that it is a tanker moreso than a refinery ship. If refinery ships also hold fuel, then this qualifies. Else... --Spencerian 16:28, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

"There are a lot of thirsty ships waiting to make your friend's acquaintance." is a fair approximation of Lee's comment to Boomer. This implies Gemini carries fuel. I think deciding tanker versus refiner is beyond the scope of the available information, unless someone else knows of a further reference. --CalculatinAvatar 22:23, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

Okay, here's what I've got:

First, Apollo says: "Message from Lt. Valerii. She's found a fuel refinery ship. Filled with tylium."

Then, Boomer's raptor arrives, with a fuel refinery of the same class as the Daru Mozu and the unnamed tanker from "Home, Part I".

Then, we cut to the Gemini (its name clearly visible on screen), which is very visibly not the same ship that just arrived. As such, I am removing references to Gemini as a fuel tanker - the ship that arrived with Boomer was simply not named. --April Arcus 22:36, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

The Gemini isn't the tanker. It's because a screenshot shows the freighter with the Mark VII Vipers flying with it when the Raider jumped.--CoreyDanian 10.45, 3 October 2006 (CDT)

FTL?

I removed the reference to FTL capability, pending confirmation. The ship was seen among Roslin's mixed FTL and non-FTL fleet, before its jump to Ragnar stranded all the non-FTL capable ships, and it is not seen jumping itself. Are there are any sightings of this ship after that event? --April Arcus 22:44, 9 May 2006 (CDT)

It is there, jumping beside the Botanical Cruiser. And it appears in several shots of the fleet in the series. Along with its counterpart.--CoreyDanian 10:47, 3 October 2006

Re-imagined Series definition: mineral that can be refined to a powerful fuel, see: tylium

Original Series definition: a highly combustible fuel (see: tylium) ^{(TOS: "Fire in Space")}

Re-imagined Series definition: technology enabling travel across distances faster than the speed of light would permit, see: FTL

Re-imagined Series definition: the process of using the FTL engines to make an near-instantaneous apparent faster-than-light transport of a ship from one point in space to another
