I can't remember if Lt. Gaeta said "THE Refinery Ship" or "A Refinery Ship" in "Resistance"; if he said "THE" it would imply that there is only one---Ricimer, 19 Aug, 2005
- He says "The Aturian refining vessel has stopped refining tylium." My impression thus far is that there's only one, although there are certainly several mining ships. --Peter Farago 05:35, 11 December 2005 (EST)
Actually, according to the subtitles for Resistance, Gaeta says the 'Tauranian' refining vessel has stopped refining tylium, meaning the ship is from Tauron. This means that the refining ship is currently unnamed but hails from Tauron. Then again for all I know, the ship might actually be called 'The Tauranian'. Either way, this means that there may be more refining ships, but there is only one that is from Tauron. This could be the ship that Boomer found in the mini-series. Ltcrashdown December 23, 2005
- Interesting. This agrees with SciFi.com, and also implies that the Fleet posesses another refinery ship of non-Tauranian registry (otherwise, why specify?). I'm going to move this back to "Refinery Ship". --Peter Farago 03:22, 25 December 2005 (EST)
On the other hand, Apollo notes the arrival of the Refinery Ship (clearly the first of it's kind to find the Fleet) immediately before the Cylon attack, so it seems impossible that another could have arrived before the fleet jumped to Ragnar. --Peter Farago 19:02, 30 December 2005 (EST)
Note on other possible refinery ships:
I'd like to add something to the discussion about there being more than one refinery ships in the fleet. Shortly after Boomer returned with the refinery ship in her Raptor, the fleet was forced to jump to the same system as the Ragnar station. It's possible that more refinery ships later arrived in the Ragnar system after recieving Adama's Fleet Wide Communication. --Ltcrashdown 20:12, 1 January 2006 (EST)
