The Last Armada class Survey Shuttle is an Auxiliary.
- It is a paramilitary ship and a Transport.
Description (Specifications)
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 vessel was as much a 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 tanks, and also had auxiliary power plant fuel for an additional 28 days: it was both a long-range and an 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 Survey Shuttles, a 38,000 Ton Armored Cruiser, two 200 Ton Scouts, and a 1,200 Ton Fast Escort.
- The vessel is a TL-11 design.

History & Background (Dossier)
