The Fleet Tender 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 Survey Shuttle is a historical design produced in the [[Terran Confederation]] during the early 22nd century. Many example of the class were carried aboard the vessels of the [[Last Armada]] as they fled the [[Destruction of Terra]] at the hands of the [[Vilani Imperium]] in 2147AD. The class were sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of hard service.

The vessel was as much a [[Auxiliary|tanker]] as a [[fleet tender]]. The class was designed with enough internal fuel for two consecutive [[jump]]-2s and was fitted with jump 2 [[drop tank]]s, and also had auxiliary [[power plant]] fuel for an additional 28 days: it was both a [[Long-Range Pattern Starships|long-range]] and an [[X-Range Starships|extended range]] design. This enabled it to cross larger rift density regions. Limited by the constraints of {{TL|11}} technology, its internal capacity was limited to transporting two 60 [[Ton]] [[Last Armada class Survey Shuttle|Survey Shuttle]]s, a 38,000 [[Ton]] [[Last Armada class Armored Cruiser|Armored Cruiser]], two 200 [[Ton]] [[Last Armada class Scout|Scout]]s, and a 1,200 [[Ton]] [[Last Armada class Fast Escort|Fast Escort]].

The Last Armada class Survey Shuttle is a non-combatant auxiliary smallcraft.

Description (Specifications)

The Survey Shuttle is a historical design produced in the Terran Confederation during the early 22nd century. Many example of the class were carried aboard the vessels of the Last Armada as they fled the Destruction of Terra at the hands of the Vilani Imperium in 2147AD. The class were sturdy and reliable and endured more than a century of hard service.

  • The vessel is a TL-11 design.

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]

History & Background (Dossier)

Survey Shuttles were constructed in great numbers at Terran-controlled shipyards throughout the Interstellar Wars period. Large numbers were transported to the Expedition's private port facilities in the empty systems lying to rimward of Terra. Once there, their fitting out was completed and they were laid up against the Expedition's future needs.
