Description (Specifications)
The Burning Sky class Schooner is used by the Peladon Royal Merchant Marine, which comprises the spacefaring commercial interests of Kingdom of Peladon-registered ships and their crews.

It is fitted with fuel scoops and a fuel purification plant allowing it to perform wilderness refuelling.
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]
