The Hitei Kan is a tylium refinery ship in the human refugee 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).

Her unique radiation signature is being 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 Heitei Kan can be seen next to the Astral Queen, the Space Park and a ship resembling the Scylla (He That Believeth In Me).

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 identical to the Daru Mozu.
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.
