Gallofree Medium Transport Developed and manufactured by Gallofree Yards, this clamshell-hulled transport craft was noted for its ability to carry virtually any type of cargo. The transport's outer hull is like a thick shell with the interior entirely open for cargo pods. The upper and lower sections of the hull could be opened independently, so that modular cargo crates could be loaded in a variety of configurations. Modular Cargo Pods greatly speed up loading and unloading procedures. When the transport is at its cargo capacity, a magnetic shield locks the modules in place, while at the same time keeps out the vacuum of space. At ninety meters in length, the Gallofree Medium Transport could accommodate up to 570 metric tons of cargo. It required a crew of six to operate + 1 gunner, and was originally designed with quarters for up to forty passengers. In its basic configuration, the Gallofree Medium Transport was armed with four turret-mounted laser cannons, and had an enhanced shielding package to handle the various cargo configurations. The Rebellion uses smaller craft since they are easier to "acquire," maintain and conceal from the watchful eyes of the Empire. The command pod which is located on the upper hull, near the main engines carries the crew in cramp conditions, it also houses the shield generator to help protect the command pod. Behind the command tower of the Medium Transport is the main reactor cowl. The Medium Transport has three primary and six secondary drive engines. The four retractable landing gears and loading ramp are on the underside of the transport. The Rebel Alliance used many Gallofree transports to carry cargo and personnel to and from their various bases around the galaxy.
