[L14 - Dalastine - NR3F] The Subsistence

A new addition for the burgeoning New Republic Third Fleet, the newly designed and built Subsistence is one of the most advanced support ships in the Galaxy, which will modernise the Fleet's transport and resupply capabilities. Built by the Loronar Corporation - the vessel being their first venture into the world of shipbuilding - it featured a distinctive avian prow, where the bridge was located. Two massive sublight engines, manufactured by the Corellian Shipyards, propelled the vessel through realspace, and enabled it to manoeuvre carefully alongside the ships it replenished.

Ship specifications:

Dimensions: length 350m; beam, 100m, height, 75m

Complement: 400 (+ capacity for 2,000 embarked troops)

Armament: 12x point-defence cannons

Capacity: storage vaults for coaxium- and rhydonium-based hyperfuels, 100,000L of starfighter fuels, 800 proton torpedoes and other large physical munitions, 10,000T of dry stores, 90 NR-standard transport containers (external)

Note to judges - the Frigate isn't part of this entry - its just to show the functionality of the refueling details.
