The Varella class Fleet Tender is an absolutely huge warship.
- It is a military ship and a Fleet Tender.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
It is a vessel with 6-G and 4-1 performance with a Unstreamlined Dispersed Structure Hull. Built for the Varellan Empire, the Varella Class Fleet Tender is an unstreamlined dispersed structure with fuel purification. The ship is capable of 6 G's of acceleration and good agility. There is enough internal fuel storage for a single Jump-4. A back up Model/7 fib ship computer is carried. To refuel the vessel is dependent on its riders to scoop fuel, which it refines.
- It carries very heavy armament and a defensive suite. It is equipped with a nuclear damper and meson screen in the event of battle damage. The volume of fire is intended to fend off attackers because once the defenses are penetrated the hull is vulnerable.
- It ordinarily carries a large complement of subcraft and drones when needed. The designed intention of the ship is to deliver meson armed battle riders to the battle lines. The nearly countless shoals of nuclear missiles and fighter squadrons are used to distract enemy ships during launch and recovery operations and to provide over watch during refueling. The marine regiment has drop capsules.
- It has a 9,786 sophont crew and 1,000 marines.
