The Last Armada class Frontier Tanker is an TL–11 Frontier Tanker.
Description[edit]
The Frontier Tanker is a historical design produced in the Terran Confederation during the early 22nd century. These ships fled the Destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium in 2147AD, forming a part of the Last Armada and carrying with them the last remnants of Terran culture and independence. The class were extremely sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of spaceflight. They ultimately found and settled the Demon Cluster, the Distant Fringe. The vessel was fitted with long-term low berths: these held a complete frozen watch to share and rotate duties over the long voyage.
Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

Basic Ship Characteristics [2] | ||
---|---|---|
No. | Category | Remarks |
1. | Tonnage / Hull | The Frontier Tanker is constructed using a 99,000 Ton hull built in a Flattened Sphere configuration. The hull is fully streamlined, giving good atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems.
|
2. | Crew | x566 personnel.
Accommodations
Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-3 drive, and a Power Plant-3, giving performance of Jump-2 and 3-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 3. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for up to three consecutive Jump-2s and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration as standard, though this may be significantly extended by drawing on the dedicated refueling tankage.
|
4. | Electronics | Adjacent to the bridge is a Model/5fib computer: the vessel has a backup Model/5fib computer.
|
5. | Hardpoints | x990 hardpoints.
|
6. | Armament | The Frontier Tanker is not armed. |
7. | Defenses | The hull is unarmored.
|
8. | Craft | Flight Section
The Fuel Shuttles are housed in two (port and starboard) dedicated hangers, each with a volume of 390 Tons: individual sections of each hanger can be sealed. The hangers are accessed by large doors. |
9. | Fuel Treatment | The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 70,370 Tons.
Refueling Tankage
Droptanks
|
10. | Cost | The basic cost of the vessel is MCr51,441.253
|
11. | Construction Time | 207 weeks (48 months) as standard.
|
12. | Comments | Standard cargo capacity amounts to 5.5 Tons.

History & Background[edit]
The hull is constructed as a streamlined flattened sphere, though the shape is closer to a teardrop, with a narrower bow and a broader stern. It is equipped with fuel scoops, a fuel purification plant and pumping equipment to facilitate wilderness refueling. It has sufficient internal tankage to run the power plant and allow up to three jump-2s: the nature of the vessel automatically makes it a long-range design. The vessel is routinely fitted with jump 2 drop tanks, giving it an extended range capability, to enable it to cross larger rift zones.
Fuel Management
The total fuel tankage is 70,370 Tons.
- Holding sufficient fuel for one Jump-2 leaves approximately 47,600 Tons available for refueling.
- Holding sufficient fuel for two Jump-2s leaves approximately 27,800 Tons available for refueling.
- Holding sufficient fuel for three Jump-2s leaves approximately 8,000 Tons available for refueling.
Known Examples[edit]
- Versatility Grace, the supporting tanker for the Resolve Aspirant, an Armored Cruiser. Both vessels disappeared at the same time and were recorded as "lost" in the Zelig Journal.
