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 subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

No. | Category | Remarks |
1. | Tonnage / Hull | The Dromedary class is constructed using a 300,000 Ton hull built in a generally Flattened Sphere configuration, although the shape is more often referred to as a "teardrop". The hull is fully streamlined, giving good atmospheric performance that is further enhanced by its onboard gravitic systems.
|
2. | Crew | x1,974 personnel.
Accommodations
Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems.
|
3. | Performance | The vessel mounts a Jump-4 drive, a Maneuver-4 drive, and a Power Plant-4, giving performance of Jump-4 and 4-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of 2 and an emergency agility of 4. The internal fuel tankage is sufficient for one Jump-4 and gives the power plant four weeks duration.

History & Background (Dossier)
The Dromedary class Tanker sees service in Fleets across the Domain of Sylea and beyond. The class carries two 20-Ton Gigs for crew transport and weather reconnaissance.
- A number of examples of the class serve with the 146th Fleet, which operates in the Oreo Subsector of Massilia Sector.
Oreo Pattern Hulls
"Oreo Pattern" hulls are a naval design feature that grew out of the "Oreo Settlement", and which was initially implemented in Oreo Subsector of Massilia Sector for economic reasons following the Civil War. Fundamentally, it is the process of creating hybrid technology ships. Unarmored hulls are locally built at lower tech levels, transported aboard commercial vessels, and fitted out as TL-15 warships at the more advanced shipyards in the region. "Oreo Pattern" starships have proven just as capable as their counterparts originating in other regions of the Imperium and it is now an accepted quirk of warships originating within the Domain of Sylea.
