This has probably been discussed on the list before, I joined it, but what do
spaceships use for fuel in the "official" GZG universe?

I thought that it would probably be skimmed from gas giants, ala Traveller,
but wouldn't that mean that there would be (at least
partially) streamlined tankers/fleet auxiliaries out there, & I've never
seen a mention of them anywhere. What do the collective you use in your
histories/campaigns?

Could be skimmed by specialized ships we just don't see, then refined. Navy
lists don't usually show oil rigs, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

Could the various military ships be nuclear powered? It would let the fleets
manuever for a few years without worring about fuel. Also has the problem of
there being only a few sources available....sounds like a great source of
battles...8D
