Rebel Transport
For the transport of troops, supplies and equipment through the galaxy, during the ongoing struggle with the Empire, the Rebels had to use converted passenger liners, stolen imperial transports and captured pirate vessels to serve as transports. However there was one craft that was used by the alliance that was a true transport, this transport was manufactured by the Gallofree Yards and sold to the Alliance at a high discount.
This transport with a total length of 90 meters was usually unarmed and the available space (19,000 metric tons) was soly dedicated to the transport of cargo and passengers. The cargo is attached to the transport in large modular cargo pods. This allowed the Alliance to quickly load and unload the cargo. The transport is navigated by a very small cockpit occupied by a small crew and sometimes a single gunner who had access to four twin laser cannons. Because of the little protection by laser cannons, these transports usually were protected by a deflector shield system and also were armoured with heavy plating and basic hyperdrive engines.
During the war, the Alliance found out the drawbacks of this craft, as it was often struck by malfunctions and breakdowns. Therefore many of the starships spend most of service times in space dock for repairs. Because of their lack of a good defence, they were unprepaired for any attack. Therefore these ships were often escorted by a group of star fighters. However the strong array of sensors and their advanced countermeasure systems gives them the ability to elude Imperial ships.
