Revenue

Federation actuaries redesigned the gas harvesting model around return per trip rather than range, and the numbers were compelling: best-in-class yield bonus, compression-rated cargo bays, and a shorter fuel tank that forces tighter route planning. Longer routes mean more fuel burned, more exposure, more risk per credit earned. The Revenue makes shorter trips and better margins. The quarterly earnings reports from Revenue-class operations are the most consistent in the Federation's industrial portfolio, which is exactly the kind of sentence that gets a Nebula procurement officer promoted.
