The [[AX-H class Modular Heavy Fleet Auxiliary]] is a {{TL|12}} mercantile [[starship]] used as a [[Modular Heavy Fleet Auxiliary]].
 
−
 
−
== Description ==
 
−
The "AX-H" project - Caledonian fleet code for "General Auxiliary, Heavy"-  is a class of modular, configurable fleet auxilaries. 
 
−
 
−
Sometimes called "Storks", due to their appearance, the AX-H is essentially a long "spine" with a bridge and control space on the bow end, a power plant, jump and maneuver drives at the stern, and a long, slender "Neck" in between.  The vessels are popular among their crews; the "Neck" offers accomodation space unheard of among other fleet auxiliaries, to say nothing of Caledonian warships. 
 
−
 
−
Modules - up to 10,000 tons worth - can be attached.  These modules can be changed - assuming the facilities of at least a C Starport are available, for a period of (generally) a month.  However, about 80% of Storks are never reconfigured once commissioned.
 
−
 
−
===Types===
 
−
AX-H (Generic Auxiliary, Heavy) is a place-holder name.  Actual ships in service have type codes specific to their configuration. 
 
−
 
−
Selected types include:
 
−
* Repair Ship, Heavy (AS-H) - Equipped with workshop, tractor and stores modules.
 
−
* Transport, Heavy (AD-H) - Equipped with fuel and accomodations modules. 
 
−
* Refinery Ship, Heavy (AFR-H) - Equipped with refinery, fuel storage and fuel-lighter dock modules.
 
−
* Jump Drive Repair Ship, Heavy (ASJ-H) - Equipped with a large workshop module optimized for carrying out repairs to jump drives.
 
−
* Power Plant Repair Ship, Heavy (ASP-H) - Another large workship, with equipment and stores for maintaining, overhauling and repairing power plants. 
 
−
* Tanker (AF-H) - Equipped with modular storage tanks and handling equipment.  Can carry powerplant/jump fuel, water, beverages.
 
−
* Stores Ship (AM-H) - Equipped with dry-goods storage modules, and a small "office" module with inventory-management software and equipment. 
 
−
* Station Ship (AU-H) - These ships serve as command posts and office space for stations, especially Forward Operating Bases.  They include modules for office, accommodation, workshop and storage space.
 
−
 
−
===Contruction===
 
−
The AX-H is a dispersed structure vessel.  AX-Hs are not streamlined, and have only defensive weapons. 
 
−
 
−
===Civilian Usage===
 
−
In addition to large numbers in the Caledonian fleet train, a few Storks have found their way into civilian service. 
 
−
* Several serve as mining support and mineral transport ships
 
−
* Two highly-renovated specimens are used as luxury liners between Caledon and the Imperium
 
−
* One was sold to an Aslan clan to serve as a colonization ship
 
−
* One exceptionally beautifully-renovated vessel serves as a mega-yacht - perhaps aptly described as a "Jump Palace" - for Ian Prestwick, Duke of Pengilly, patriarch of an extraordinarily wealthy trading family from [[Stirling (world)|Stirling]].
