The Tadpole class Fuel Shuttle is a TL–14 noncombatant Fuel Shuttle. It is a fueler version of the Wart class Heavy Fighter.

Description (Specifications)

The Wart is the basic heavy fighter of the Inar SysDefCom and has several variants, including non-combat models (the Tadpole class Fuel Shuttle for instance), and the fusion-armed Wart-F.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Duchy of Inar based out of Inar (world) has a vibrant TL-14 or TL-E ship building industry, known for innovative designs and clever Naval Architecture. They are best known for their unstreamlined cylinder hull tail-sitter ship designs and sphere hulled smallcraft specialized for star system defense. They also build some of the finest fusion guns and ECM systems in Imperial Space.

The Tadpole is one of the well known 60-ton sphere designs of Inar (Deneb 1213).

The cost below is according to standard rules, but Inar has been building spherical small craft for so long that the actual price per hull is about 63% of normal. The high cost of the ship computer and power plant in the Wart, is not a factor in this design.

Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities

Most of the fighters and other small craft serving in the Inar system have only tail numbers officially, though squadrons of fighters will often have informal nicknames, and the subcraft compliment of a tender may also acquire informal names.
