Named after the Terran animal reknowned for its ability to hold water, this massive Fuel Tender is a common sight in Imperial Navy task groups and squadrons, providing fuel gathering and refining services to accompanying vessels. It has the legs to keep up with other ships in its group and carries enough fuel onboard, and enough fuel shuttles, to refuel itself and its "children" as quickly as possible. A massive 88% of its entire volume is given over to fuel tanks, processing equipment and fuel shuttles. It is always heavily escorted, and never left to fend for itself, even though it has plenty of laser and sandcaster turrets for its own defence.

This particular class of fuel tender is relatively new, and the first vessel of the class, Camel, was commissioned in 1086. Since then, over 250 ships have entered IN service, named after similar life forms found within the Imperium.

The specifications of the Dromedary's fuel shuttles are as follows:
