Comments: The Aquator Class ship is designed for liquid transport within
a system. The principal cargo is water for industrial and drinking
purposes on worlds which lack available water resources such as
oceans, rivers, or ice caps. Additional equipment include transport and
handling equipment for large pieces of ice from asteroids or ice caps
on moons or planetoids. A large cargo bladder is filled with liquid
water as it is passed through a ice entry port through heating coils
powered from the main power plant. Pumping equipment is available
for loading or unloading of the cargo from a liquid source of water to
storage tanks.
