The VCS 898 class Replenishment Vessel is an TL–10 passenger and cargo hauler used as a Replenishment Vessel.

Description (Specifications)

This is a big cargo vessel, pure and simple. It is used for fleet logistics, troop transport and any other utility function its smaller, more aggressive partners can't handle. A military grade computer with fiber optic back ups was installed to support the offensive and defensive software required for its combat missions.

Sixty triple sand caster turrets and forty triple missile turrets were added for protection. Room had to be made for the eleven gunners required.

The 100 high and 100 mid passenger staterooms are frequently used for marines. It has a crew of 71 crew.
