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 in-flight fuel transfers ("unreps").

Notes

• It is not known what type or vessel is used as a "tanker bird". The vessel is mentioned by Admiral William Adama but is not seen on screen ^{(TRS: "Occupation")}.
• Tankers are also mentioned as an option to fuel Vipers searching for the missing Lieutenant Kara Thrace ^{(TRS: "You Can't Go Home Again")}.
• It is possible that the tankers are a Raptor or shuttle modified with a buddy refueling system.
• A refinery ship, either Daru Mozu or Hitei Kan, referred to as a "tanker," is attempting to refuel Striker ^{(TRS: "Home, Part I")}.
