====Fuel Transport====

A cousin of the Imperial Transports.

Fuel Transports are a vital part of Imperial supply chains, as they ship fuel and other materials to Industrial Worlds incapable of producing their own raw materials, Imperial Guard army groups, and Imperial Navy fleets. These ships carry many smaller shuttles to ferry the fuel from ground refineries up to the Transports. Such shuttles are at least 500 meters (1640 feet) long, and around twelve of them land at a time to acquire the fuel.

They are just as slow, ungainly, and poorly-armed as its brothers, however, Fuel Transports aren't likely to be pressed into military service due to, oh I don't know, filled to the brim with [[FATAL|explosive and flammable liquids.]]

Due to the lack of actual space to store troops, weapons and armor, and also because the captain can simply choose to detonate the fuel, they aren't a hot choice for [[Chaos]] hijacking. Instead, it is their fuel source that is targeted for Chaos raids as they provide an important logistical supply vessel for any Chaos warbands in realspace.
