Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Aquarius is a thousand-ton fleet tanker with Jump-2 range, two-gravity acceleration, fuel-transfer equipment, and a 607-ton hold for fuel and stores. A boarding launch lets its nine-person crew move personnel and service ships that cannot or should not dock directly.

Laser, missile, and sandcaster turrets provide limited self-defense, but the tanker has no armor and is too valuable to expose without escort. Its purpose is to extend a fleet's operating radius, not to survive on the battle line.
