Description
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 avaiable, 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 (AR-H) - Equipped with workshop, tractor and stores modules.
- Transport, Heavy (AT-H) - Equipped with fuel and accomodations modules.
- Refinery Ship, Heavy (AF-H) - Equipped with refinery, fuel storage and fuel-lighter dock modules.
- Jump Drive Repair Ship, Heavy (ARJ-H) - Equipped with a large workshop module optimized for carrying out repairs to jump drives.
- Power Plant Repair Ship, Heavy (ARP-H) - Another large workship, with equipment and stores for maintaining, overhauling and repairing power plants.
- Tanker (AT-H) - Equipped with modular storage tanks and handling equipment. Can carry powerplant/jump fuel, water, beverages.
- Stores Ship (AS-H) - Equipped with dry-goods storage modules, and a small "office" module with inventory-management software and equipment.
- Station Ship (ACS-H) - These ships serve as command posts and office space for stations, especially Forward Operating Bases. They include modules for office, accomodation and storage space.
Contruction
The AX-H is a dispersed structure vessel. AX-Hs are not streamlined, and have only defensive weapons.
