Every starfleet needs a vast number of these unglamourous ships - although 
you never seem to see them in "Imperial Stars", "Strike Fleet", or any of the 
other popular VR entertainment programs in the Imperium.  Never mind 
that: without thousands and thousands of glorified cargo barges like these, 
the Imperial Navy would swiftly grind to a halt. 

First built in 138, these flying bricks perfectly reflect the big, bulky 
and dour design philosophy of the Vilani.  They also happen to be quite 
capable in their work: after all, 1000 years later they still serve in 
innumerable frontier fleets, as tankers and second-tier naval logstics 
vessels.
  
(In a pinch they can support Marine contigments, but lack the
armour to serve in any more hostile environment than your typical 
bushfire rebellion.  They also lack sufficent on-board cargo shuttles, 
and the Marines get to sleep in the cargo hold - hopefully modified to 
house them, rather than sleeping on the bare floor. 

The Orrimot DOES at least have CG lifters, unlike most dedicated space 
tankers/freighters.  So it can lift off, as well as land...)

These ships are rarely seen in civilian service: the two large hamster cages 
used to mimic gravity is rather unpopular among merchants, and civilian 
fuel stations have rendered tanker jumpships a poor economic gamble.  
Also, most merchants find the additional cost to maintain the inefficent 
dual fusion plants not worth the greater safety margin.  And the 10 
lifeboats are SO passe, and an unnecessary expense - although the crews 
doesn't seem to mind.
