Making up a large part of the Confederation logistics train, the transport is the “behind the scenes” workhorse that wins or loses battles by keeping the front line forward fleets supplied and operational.  Utilizing its modular container design, the transport can be configured to carry anything important to the war effort, including armaments, fuel, general supplies and personnel.  Slow, under-armed, under-armored and susceptible to attack by the lightest of Kilrathi forces, these mainstay transports have to constantly rely on fighter or lighter capship escorts for protection.
