Description:
The Neptune Fluid Freighter moves large quantities of liquid via detachable landers. The freighters are commonly used for water but many carry multiple types of fluid. A regulation existed in the Imperium (and now Commonwealth) that each lander could only be utilized for certain liquid (always water,  oil, etc..). The captain has a .1dt storage safe in his office.

The Freighter carries 150dt of Jump Fuel integral to the vessel. The remainder is in the rear within three Whale class Liquid Landers. Landers can skim gas giants, have 200dt of cargo and otherwise can be used as needed.
