A Fueling Craft is any one of a number of craft, smallcraft, bigcraft, and largecraft, designed to provide fuel to spaceships and starships unable to do it for themselves.
- Many larger craft save cost by using unstreamlined hulls and lack fuel scoops or a fuel treatment plant.
- Such craft rely on a network of fuel tankers and refueling shuttles to refuel after travel in jumpspace.
- The Supraclass designation is also known as Ship Mission, Ship Mission Code, Mission, or Ship Hull Designation.
- It is a starship supraclass.

Supraclass Roles[edit]
Utility Ships typically serve the following roles:
Civilian Largecraft & Bigcraft:
Type T Tanker Supraclass Archetypes | |||
---|---|---|---|
Archetype | Type Code/s | Exemplar | Remarks |
Tanker | TF | Regent class Station Tanker | Tankers are specially designed to haul cargoes of either liquid or gas. Many are specially designed and can not take alternate types of cargo. For example, a hydrogen carrier can not normally be used to transport ammonia. There are some specialized tankers where entire storage modules are swapped out, not unlike bulk cargo carriers, but these are more the exception than the rule.

Type UF Fueling Smallcraft Supraclass Archetypes | |||
---|---|---|---|
Archetype | Type Code/s | Exemplar | Remarks |
Fuel Shuttle | UF | Bubble class Fuel Cutter | Fuel shuttles or lighters are smallcraft that perform a variety of fuel-purposed missions although the most common act to perform wilderness refueling tasks and then ferry fuel back to a largecraft mothership. Others refine fuel, carry it around like miniature tankers, or otherwise do useful things. They also have bigcraft cousins. |
