A refueling tanker, or "Tanker Bird", is a vessel that allows Vipers and Raptors to refuel away from a battlestar or base by means of mid-flight fuel transfers.

  • It is not known what type or vessel is used as a "Tanker Bird". The vessel is mentioned by Admiral Adama in (Occupation), but is not seen on screen. However, it is likely to be a Raptor modified with extra fuel tanks.
