Tech Room Description
The largest unarmed ship in the Vasudan navy, the Oasis-class gas miner probably functions in a similar manner to our Bromios miners, extracting, refining, and storing fuel from gas giants for use in reactors. It is believed to have been designed prior to first contact with Terrans, to travel established and well-policed jump nodes for bulk fuel transport. They are rarely seen in contested systems, leading tacticians to believe the Vasudans refuel in secure locations.
The Sixth Seal Tech Room Description
Challenged by the harsh conditions of their home planet, the Vasudans learned very quickly to venture in the field of space exploration, and did so faster than the Terrans. Designated as a Resource Collector, the Oasis is a large and unarmed Vasudan design that is part of a long lineage of vessels, predating any other space faring vessel in circulation. What is now the Oasis is nothing but a heavily upgraded version of one of the first Vasudan ships ever capable of interplanetary travel and resource exploitation, well before the discovery of subspace drives.
These vessels have efficient, internal modular devices which can be easily adapted to gas or asteroid mining, depending on the environment. The three-stage deck structure of Oasis vessels allows for repeated resource processing and filtering, thus minimizing the loss of potentially valuable minerals or gases, as well as the need for further processing.
Oasis crews are older than average, as they're generally composed by both military and civilian officers nearing retirement and willing to contribute to the Empire with vital resource gathering. These ships have a relevant role in Vasudan culture, with plenty of proverbs, expressions, words and metaphors having their roots on Oasis operations. Generations of Vasudans who ended up serving on these ships and their predecessors have all but consolidated these expressions in culture. In fact, these sayings are present in Vasudan culture at all levels, ranging from colloquialisms to formal terms.
Credits
- Model by Galemp
- HTL by Nyctaeus, based on texture by Oddgrim.
Developer Notes
Uses recolored HTL Bast texture, so maps of both are interchangeable. Use Texture Replacement in FRED2 to get get different color variants. Gas texture used on the rings is a recolor of Miner02vTile04 used by Anuket, so this one can be swapped as well.
