Flamsteed-Class Fleet Tanker

BARD PAPER: SARA5014

Flamsteed-Class Tanker

The Flamsteed Fleet tanker was an auxilury ship for the massive fleets of the Third Imperium. It never intended to enter battle, but in case it was ambushed or forced into a fight it is equiped with several hundred laser turrets, and missile turrets. It also has sufficient defense equipment so as have the best chance to be able to survive an enemy attack.These include a Meson screen, several hundred sandcasters and a large AEMS Jammer. It also carries five 1000 ton monitors, to act as pickets and guards. If desired these ships can be replaced by jump capable ships such as the Fer-de-Lance Destroyer Escort. The ship is a giant flying wing, with massive fuels scoops along the wings. Massive fuel droges hang from the underside of the ship, these allow it to fufill its main goal, which is to refuel ships upon entering a hostile system. This way the warships enter battle with full fuel tanks, and while the battle progresses, the Flamsteed can fill its fuel tanks, and purify the fuel or jump back to saftey. The ship also carries significant cargo and can carry supplies for other ships in the fleet. In an emergency this space can also be utilized for troop transport, hospital duty, or something else.
