Description / Specifications
Built for the Varellan Empire, the Varella Class Fleet Tender is an unstreamlined dispersed structure with fuel purification. It carries six Houdini Class Battle Riders, ten shuttles and six hundred 20 ton light fighters, organized into sixty squadrons. 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 computer, nuclear damper and meson screen are carried in the event of battle damage. The marine regiment has drop capsules. 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 volume of fire is intended to fend off attackers because once the defenses are penetrated the hull is vulnerable. To refuel the vessel is dependent on its riders to scoop fuel, which it refines.
