The Last Armada class Fuel Shuttle is an Auxiliary.

• It is a non-combatant Smallcraft.

Description (Specifications)

The Fuel Shuttle is a historical design produced in the Terran Confederation during the early 22nd century. Many example of the class were carried aboard the vessels of the Last Armada as they fled the Destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium in 2147AD. The class were sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of hard service. They were typically used to ferry small quantities of fuel to ships.

• The vessel is a TL-11 design.

Basic Ship Characteristics

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
No.	Category	Remarks
1.	Tonnage	The Fuel Shuttle is constructed using a 60 Ton hull built in a Cylinder configuration. The hull is partially streamlined, giving a relatively limited atmospheric performance that is reliant on its onboard gravitic systems. The ship does not have an airlock. The vessel has sturdy retractable legs, allowing surface landings.
2.	Crew	x1 crew. x1 Pilot/Commander. Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel. Individual sections of the hull can be sealed off. There is an emergency locker.
3.	Performance	The vessel mounts a Maneuver-3 drive and a Power Plant-3, giving performance of 3-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 3. The internal fuel tankage gives the power plant 4 weeks duration. The engineering section is controlled from the bridge.
4.	Electronics	There is a cockpit containing a pilot's acceleration couch and a Model/2 computer: no backup computer is installed. The vessel is fitted with communications equipment and a basic sensor array. It has a transponder unit that can be deactivated on command.
5.	Hardpoints	x1 hardpoint.
6.	Armament	The Fuel Shuttle is not armed.
7.	Defenses	The hull is plated, structurally reinforced, and built with secure bulkheads and compartments that give it a High Guard armor rating of 2. The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.
8.	Craft	The vessel carries no subcraft.
9.	Fuel Treatment	The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 1.8 Tons. The vessel is not equipped with fuel purification equipment. Refuelling Tankage 40.0 Tons of the internal space is taken up by auxiliary fuel tankage.
10.	Cost	The basic cost of the vessel is MCr36.225 Architects Fee: MCr0.363
11.	Construction Time	27 weeks (6 months) as standard. Build times can be reduced by mass production and the efficiencies such processes generate, by increased financing, and by allotting additional yard resources and facilities to the construction contract.
12.	Comments	Standard cargo capacity amounts to 0.1 Tons.

History & Background (Dossier)

Fuel Shuttles were carried by Frontier Tankers.

Fuel Shuttles were essentially a stripped down variant of the Survey Shuttle. They were constructed in great numbers at Terran-controlled shipyards throughout the Interstellar Wars period. Large numbers were transported to the Expedition's private port facilities in the empty systems lying to rimward of Terra. Once there, their fitting out was completed and they were laid up against the Expedition's future needs.
