The River class Heavy Tanker is a TL–14 naval auxiliary fleet Tanker

Description (Specifications)

The ship carries four 50T Cutters for crew transport. The ship's partially streamlined sphere configuration doesn't allow for planetary landings for refueling. The ships acceleration isn't sufficient for safe gas giant scooping, and would rely upon other ships for that capability.
