The Tan'sie is an Industrial Ship that is designed for salvage and recovery by the Kingdom of Neshaten and perform onsite repairs to vessels after combat or to salvage completely destroyed vessels and recover any useful items off them. This class entered service in EE 002.

The Tan'sie is vessel created by the Kingdom to help recover ships after combat, either to repair or to salvage. The class varries a lot of equipment to facilitate its role, including unique graviton arrays and tow cable systems to pull vessels into both its internal and external bays. Because of its role, it was designed to use a number of modified propulsion systems to help with its manoeuvrability during the recovery or salvage phase of an operation.

Its large size means it has a large number of turrets, although those turrets can be used to equip combat based weaponry; they are primarily designed to hold additional tow or graviton and repair or refit systems, along with supply arrays as well, this actually means that most Tan'sie when assigned to a combat group would be entirely unarmed but not completely defenseless. Because of its lack of actual combat weaponry, the Tan'sie comes equipped with three shield generators, which are designed not only to provide it protection in hostile and debris filled enviroments but also during combat operations; the shields are modified so that they can be extended around docked ships, although the defensive power of the shields also means that the ship can act as a 'shield' for damaged vessels.

The goal of the Tan'sie is to provide onsite repair and refit services to damage vessels, or to salvage destroyed vessels for any useful components that can then be used to repair others. The Tan'sie can also salvage components from one vessel to repair another. Its internal bays can be used to recover small craft such as starfighters, shuttles, dropships, or even small warships; while its external bays can be used to deal with much larger vessels.

Because of its purpose, the Tan'sie often operate in groups of three to help maximize its ability to repair, refit, and salvage; with ships capable of coming together to work on one ship or up to four depending on size.

Because of how much cargo it can carry, the Tan'sie will often double as a supply ship for military forces, it is capable of carrying enough cargo to keep ten ships supplied for up to six seasons; or twelve ships for only three seasons depending on how much is used by the fleet in that time.

The Tan'sie Class came about due to the militaries desire to create a vessel capable of recovering ships either after a battle or to supply those ships with needed items. The Tan'sie is the brainwork of Tan'sie Ui'ui'ha, who was one of the first people to go back into space and also had to suffer through a full season when their exploration ship had broken down and they couldn't get help; upon return to the capital, Tan'sie went about creating a ship to help solve what he felt was a clear and present problem that would eventually plague the Kingdom 'when' they got involved in combat operations.

The Tan'sie bears the appearance of a long pencil like shape with wings on the rear and a bulging center section, the tip of the 'pencil' houses another bulging section that houses much of the ships forward repair capabilities. The ships undercarriage is hidden by a layer of thick, movable armour that is used to protect the more vital internal repair and salvage bays; this armour slides out of the way during active operations.

The Tan'sie features a number of advanced repair and refit systems that allows the ship to more easily do a job that others, while they might be able to, can't do effectively due to lacking the proper tools. The Tan'sies underside bay allows it to berth a ship up to one thousand five hundred meters long, or four three hundred meter long or three four hundred meter long ships; this means the ship can repair multiple vessels at once. Additional functions allows up to four Tan'sie vessels to interconnect with one another to allow these ships to work on one ship or more and split the repair, refit, or salvage time by nearly half of what it would normally take for a single ship.

Because of its expansive cargo holds, the Tan'sie also doubles as a supply ship for the military.

In keeping with tradition, all ships have a different deck layout when they are built, only certain areas are static.

The Tan'sie is designed to carry mainly small craft that are perfectly suited to repair or resupply operations
