Described as looking like an overstuffed or pregnant cigar with a large megaphone at the front,{{Ref/Reuse|HSS20}} bladder ships are used to replenish the ammunition used for starship [[plasma weaponry]]. To do this, they have a large collection cone that sucks up a specific type of gas within a planet's atmosphere, which is then compressed and stored within a liquefied form for shipment. The cone is composed of eight flexible poles, with flexible webbing that connects it together. When not in use, it is retracted into the ship's bow. [[ONI]] analysts suspect that they are also equipment freighters that carry spare parts and raw materials for their fleet.{{Ref/Reuse| | Described as looking like an overstuffed or pregnant cigar with a large megaphone at the front,{{Ref/Reuse|HSS20}} bladder ships are used to replenish the ammunition used for starship [[plasma weaponry]].

The bladder ship is unable to activate its shields when the cone is extended, which renders it vulnerable to infiltration or attack. To defend itself, it has several hangars for [[space fighter]]s such as [[Type-27 Banshee]]s and [[Seraph]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS20}} | The bladder ship is unable to activate its shields when the cone is extended, which renders it vulnerable to infiltration or attack.
