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|HSS19}} | 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]].
