The Last Armada class Frontier Tanker is a warship.

Description (Specifications)

The Frontier Tanker is a historical design produced in the Terran Confederation during the early 22nd century. These ships fled the Destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium in 2147AD, forming a part of the Last Armada and carrying with them the last remnants of Terran culture and independence. The class were extremely sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of spaceflight. They ultimately found and settled the Demon Cluster, the Distant Fringe. The vessel is constructed as a long-range design and has extended range capability.

The hull is constructed as a streamlined flattened sphere, though the shape is closer to a teardrop, with a narrower bow and a broader stern. It is equipped with fuel scoops, a fuel purification plant and pumping equipment to facilitate wilderness refueling. It has sufficient internal tankage to run the power plant and allow up to three jump-2s. The vessel is routinely fitted with jump 2 drop tanks to enable it to cross larger rift zones.

Fuel Management

  • Holding sufficient onboard fuel for one Jump-2 leaves approximately 47,600 Tons available for refueling.
  • Holding sufficient onboard fuel for two Jump-2s leaves approximately 27,800 Tons available for refueling.
  • Holding sufficient onboard fuel for three Jump-2s leaves approximately 8,000 Tons available for refueling.

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 craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. [1]

Basic Ship Characteristics [2]
No. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage TBD tons.
2. Crew TBD crew.
3. Performance The vessel mounts a Jump-2 drive, a Maneuver-3 drive, and a Power Plant-3, giving performance of Jump-2 and 3-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 3. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for up to three consecutive Jump-2s and gives the power plant 4 weeks duration as standard, though this may be significantly extended by drawing on the refueling tankage.
  • The engineering section has a main control room.
    • Ladders, gantries and platforms give access to the machinery.
  • The jump drive utilizes a lanthanum hull grid.
  • The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
4. Electronics TBD
5. Hardpoints TBD hardpoints.
6. Armament The normal weapons fit-out for it is:
  • No information yet available.
  • No additional information yet available.
7. Defenses No information yet available.
  • No additional information yet available.
8. Craft Flight Section

The Fuel Shuttles are housed in two dedicated hangers, each with a volume of 390 Tons: individual sections of each hanger can be sealed.

9. Fuel Treatment The vessel has internal fuel tankage of 70,370 Tons.
  • The hull is fitted with fuel scoops.
  • The vessel is equipped with a fuel purification plant that can refine all onboard fuel in a few hours: the plant is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.

Droptanks

  • Examples of the class are fitted with Droptanks capable of supporting an additional jump-2.

Refueling Tankage

  • 8,000 Tons of the internal tankage is dedicated to refueling operations.
10. Cost MCrTBD.
11. Construction Time TBD months to build, TBD months in quantity.
12. Comments TBD
  • Standard cargo capacity amounts to TBD tons.

History & Background (Dossier)

There are 283 low berths for a complete frozen watch to share and rotate the duties over the long voyage. It has 2,300 GenPods – Artificial Gestation Units. It carries a pair of model 5 fib computers.They are not armed and is capable of 3G acceleration and has 2 agility rating. This thrust allows it to scoop its own fuel in the gravity well of larger gas giants.

Known Examples

  • Versatility Grace, the supporting tanker for the Resolve Aspirant, an Armored Cruiser. Both vessels disappeared at the same time and were recorded as "lost" in the Zelig Journal.
