Recovery Trade

Within the Distant Fringe, a term applied to those who make a living by operating Commercial Tenders, vessels that offer recovery, repair, and maintenance facilities in remote locations.

Description / Specifications

Tenders use hulls similar in design to commercial mercantile ships, but their interiors are given over to large DeVoss jump-2 drives and the associated fuel tankage, dedicated hanger space, workshops, and stores. Commercial tenders may work closely with Gas Traders.

Vessels commonly employed in the recovery trade include:

• Commercial Tender: TL 11, 3,500 dTons
• Civilian Ship Transporter, TL 11, 30,000 dTons
• Frame Carrier: TL 11, 90,000 dTons
