PDRMN Automated Supply Depot

A medium sized supply depot, propelled mainly by solar sail, but can be thrusted with a laser. There are a couple of thousand of these, spread across the solar system in locations frequented by the PDRMN. They are dropped off in the correct general location by a PDRMN logistics cruiser, and then settle into a small asteroid or just station keep. As such, their orbits are highly predictable and they send location updates frequently. Any PDRMN ship can access these at any time, sending the proper codes to turn off the proximity detection and destruction systems. While they are really meant for emergency or critical situations, sometimes a ship needs a topup, and can't get to a nearby logi ship for some reason.

Onboard, there is typically:
200 tons He3/D slush
75 tons fully fueled shuttle
50 tons Oxygen
50 tons Water
50 tons Torpedoes (~100 torpedoes + storage cradles)
