Design and Development
As the Atreus Aerospace Command began to understand its inevitable expansion both in size and scope, the AASC Admiralty began to see a need for dedicated Fuel Ships to ensure large battlegroups and capital ships could continue on long-duration missions while maintaining the use of chemical rockets.
The initial project was opened for development shortly after the AASC's official creation in 2190, seeing multiple bids but seeing the final contract awarded to Odyssey Aerospace Aeronautical Design Office in 2192, with construction of the first ship starting the same year.
The oiler features 4 replenishment stations, with two on each side.
