==Description==
+
The '''Stork''' was a [[Capellan Confederation]] flying tanker.
The '''Stork''' was a [[Capellan Confederation]] flying tanker. Developed in a time of Capellan economic crisis, it was supposed to be a cheap way of extending a fighter's range. The vessel proved successful in its primary mission. Some talented crews, such as one aboard the Stork named ''Enola'', the longest serving Stork in Capellan service, managed to achieve kills of hostile fighters or VTOLs; these crews are the exception rather than the rule. Most Stork crews simply do their jobs day in and day out, with little fanfare.<ref name=TRO3075/>
 
  
==Equipment and Capabilities==
+
Developed in a time of Capellan economical crisis, it was supposed to be a cheap way of extending fighters range. The vessel was proven to be successful in it's mission, while some of the talented crews, such as one on-board the longest serving Stork named ''Enola'', who managed to achieve kills of unfamiliar fighters or VTOLs.
The Stork could withstand small attacks from enemies thanks to its quartet of AMS systems and five and a half tons of armor, which was focused on protecting the nose and tail of the aircraft. The onboard fuel tank carried enough fuel to refill three fighters, making two Storks capable of refueling a whole squadron of fighters.<ref name=TRO3075/>
 
  
To deter the crew from engaging in combat, the Stork was equipped with a pair of SRM-4 launchers. Though these can be effective weapons, the Stork crew typically used them to cover their escape from a combat situation. These weapons are also useful against lightly armored ground targets, like conventional infantry armed with missiles.<ref name=TRO3075/>

==Armament & Capacities==
 
+
Stork could withstand small attacks from enemies thanks to it's limited weaponry, the AMS systems, and 5.5 tons of armor focused on nose and tail of the aircraft. Fuel onboard could refill three fighters making two Storks capable of refueling a whole squadron of fighters.
==Variants==
 
The original Stork model lacked the [[anti-missile system]]s of the more modern model. This gave it a liquid storage capability of nearly twenty-four tons. BV (2.0) = 329<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 139</ref>
