	Starships carry a lot of consumables—antimatter, deuterium, replicator raw ~~materials~~, and the like. (Most ships have the capacity to generate or collect small amounts of vital materials, but that’s an emergency measure and will not sustain the ship for long.) Storing this material pending use requires a significant amount of space. (~~Shuttles~~ and similar small craft are assumed to have a week’s worth of ~~consumables—restocked from the mother ship—at~~ no SU cost.) Each ~~year’s amount~~ increase ~~enlarges~~ the ~~storage area~~ (and cost~~) equally~~. Of course, a ship ~~that is planning~~ an extended mission can take on extra supplies, storing them in ~~the~~ cargo holds~~. But, due to the varied nature of the consumables (and their storage requirements), each year’s extension (and use of cargo hold space) requires 1.2 SUs worth of space~~.		Starships carry a lot of consumables—antimatter, deuterium, replicator raw material, and
			the like. (Most ships have the capacity to generate or collect small amounts of vital materials, but that’s an emergency measure and will not sustain the ship for long.) Storing this material pending use requires a significant amount of space. For an SU cost of 1 x Size, a ship carries enough consumables for up to one year of normal operations (warp shuttles and similar small craft are assumed to have about a week’s worth of consumables, at most, for no SU cost). Each increase in the multiplier (2 x Size, 3 x
			Size, and so on) adds up to another year’s worth of consumables; this cost includes the technology for getting the consumables on and off the ship. The accompanying table indicates the standard consumables load carried by various ship types. Of course, a ship which knows it’s going on an extended mission can take on extra supplies, storing them in cargo holds.

	~~Ships not equipped with replicator technology include completed food units as part~~ of ~~the~~ consumables. ~~Storage size~~, ~~therefore~~, ~~is increased by 50%~~.		Due to the lack of replicators and similar difficulties, consumables occupy much more space on 23rd century (and earlier) ships than on their 24th century counterparts. Starship crews also devote more time and attention to tracking supplies, obtaining resupply for their ships, and so forth. The supply problem sometimes restricts or limits long-term or deep space missions.

	~~Consumables does~~ not include the ~~vessel’s supply~~ of ~~dilithium~~.		Ships not equipped with replicator technology include food as part of their consumables. This increases the SU cost to 1.5 x Size for one year’s worth of supplies, 3 x Size for two years, 4.5 x Size for three years, and so forth.

	~~The accompanying table indicates~~ the ~~standard consumables loadout carried by various ship types~~.		Consumables does ''not'' include the vessel’s supply of dilithium.
